I use Elixir at my company and Ive gone thru three phases: 1.: love it for the polished ecosystem and functional programming, get frustrated because even though it is functional it is not at all like writing ML-style code and not having types, and now I am starting to grok BEAM and OTP.

Specifically, I realized how many problems we solved using OTP that would be much more challenging to get right otherwise. We can use processes to get transactional behavior, spawn workers very simply.

We use event sourcing.

Our state snapshots are just a process that receives events. It was easy to evict snapshots by killing processes idle for too long. Beautiful!

Thank you. I'm going to try my hand at making a music for narration script in the style of mellow-trons. I'm using speech per word timings to drive a metronome at this time so it seems that I can plow ahead using mostly just sox and audacity.
I think the original question here was asking about frontend since this post is about using Rust with web assembly as an alternative to JavaScript. There's no need to use web assembly to use Rust on the backend, nor is there any reason why you couldn't use JavaScript on the frontend if you were using Rust on the backend. As much as I love Rust and prefer to avoid writing JavaScript, I think the arguments for using Rust on the frontend are a lot less clear right now given the hoops you'd need to jump through. If wasm ends up getting proper access to the DOM, that might change, but I'm out of the loop and have no idea if there's any planned timeline for that at all, let alone when that might be.
I've seen Render.com pop up a lot lately on HN. Even have a pinned tab for the migration from Heroku to Render. I have some work stuff on both Heroku and EC2 (gpu instances) and a lot of side projects between both. That said I have a few questions if you dont mind.

First is there anything you think that Heroku is still better at then Render is today? Not including stuff thing might come later, but if I had to use todays stack.

I see some locations/regions but would like to know more about where the datacenters are, and how close to AWS networks they are.

What tuning options do I have for Postgres and Redis.

Thanks!

Ask HN: Experience with estimating WebSocket Costs?
I'm approaching completion of a Socket.io-based client for a popular game with no good existing digital options. I'm trying to learn what to expect for hosting costs on Heroku, Digital Ocean, or other alternatives for a websocket-based application and I'm having a hard time finding any real data or empirical comparison beyond their pricing pages.

Has anyone had experience with hosting websocket projects? What did it cost you and what platform(s) did you use?

We are in pre-planning for our exit as well. We will be on AWS EKS(perhaps with lambda/ECS mix) by the time our contract is up next March.

Too many issues both discussed here and undiscussed. Also, their upsell approach is stale:

* Public runtime has a 20 min cooldown after 3 app crashes

* Hobby pro dynos don't report container mem limits due to ancient cgroup setups(gotta upgrade to performance M)

* No Dyno sizes between 2.GB and 14GB ?!

Bunch of BS trying to push you towards Enterprise accounts, more expensive dynos, and private spaces(which cost more Dyno units).

Ah, I see. That makes the post much more understandable. Thank you.

But from my (admittedly very outside) perspective, sociology and psychology don't look anything like positivism. They look like... I don't know what to call what they look like, but positivism ain't it.

Maybe actual positivism could help them. On the other hand, if they think that's what they've been doing for the last century, then telling them to do it isn't going to get them to real positivism...

Note well: I think positivism is a philosophy that failed because it was mistaken. I am not a supporter or a fan. But I think that sociology has really failed to come anywhere near what positivism would call for.

Figma uses rust heavily for their web apps utilizing web assembly. Can’t link to the exact posts but they’ve written about this on their dev blog before.

I believe it’s mostly for video processing iirc.

We airlifted M777 howitzers to them in the blink of an eye, by the standards of government/military bureaucracy. Meanwhile out here in the First Island Chain we've been begging for reinforcements/gear/funding for the inevitable fight with China and THAT shit is definitely being slow-walked in comparison.

There are also larger issues to consider beyond just "we want the help the Ukrainians". The best stuff we can send has a bunch of sensitive NATO/US technical information (radio comms, etc.). Do we want to risk that gear falling into Russian hands (and by extension probably getting shared with China)? If the answer is "no", we either have to send alternatives or send the equipment to depot maintenance areas to have the sensitive tech removed. That takes time.

Do we want to risk escalating the war outside of Ukraine, if the Russians respond kinetically to armaments shipments? The answer is again an emphatic "no" from almost every nation except maybe Poland.

Hence the popular snarky refrain: "NATO will fight Russia to the last drop of Ukrainian blood". Western governments and people will "stand with Ukraine" as long as it doesn't involve them really risking anything (such as themselves being on the receiving end of Russian missiles or artillery).

Now this is something I'd like to see. A permanent glider, in the sky for years on end. Obviously with humans onboard you'd have to resupply it with food and water.

Reaper and FabFilter getting on board would definitely help make this standard gain some momentum.

I disagree. Freedom is a word with many meanings. One of them is not exactly "strength" but "opportunity", which could be established through higher levels of individual "strength" and ability to shape one's environment.

Generally, firearms are a freedom-enhancing technology because they enable people to somewhat self-govern and give citizens leverage against their own government with respect to the social contract.

But even if we accept the idea that individual "freedom" is somewhat used synonymously with individual "strength", then why would this be considered a bad thing?

>It is weak to bow to others' wishes

Bowing to someone else's wishes is not authoritarianism or weakness. Being forced to do so with no recourse or representation is authoritarianism and weakness.

>Firearms are wielded by the strong against the weak.

I completely agree. The disparity between the armed and non-armed population is what gives fascist and communist dictatorships to operate in the first place.

>Sometimes for no reason! Weak people explain why they murdered someone. The strong "stand their ground."

It might distress you that the strong have power over the weak. But this is merely the natural order of things. The world is only just and moral insofar as the strong choose make it so. If you want to render yourself and your peers weaker then you can do so, but you will only be forfeiting your power to others less benevolent than you.

The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.

Google Maps does this regularly. When I forget to include the word "closest" in my voice commands it will inevitably ask me to choose between the Pizza Hut that's 4.5 miles away and the one that's 28.7 miles away.

I don't think you understand what bribery is. It doesn't mean to convince people to do something. It means to offer something of value to influence someone. Lobbying does not require offering someone something.
> I'm sorry that wasn't good enough for you in a comment where I repeatedly qualified things as "back of the envelope" and "very rough" and so on, and made it clear I picked one particular model out of the blue.

Dude, I was just adding information for the unaware reading this thread, you can unnail yourself from that cross. It wasn’t an attack.

> Also, pilot seniority / pay varies with the route and schedule, not airplane model.

It varies by seniority and model they’re checked out on. Model they are qualified on determines the routes they can bid on - because you recertify every 6 months in simulator on your model, it’s not really possible to maintain a bunch of different active certifications and fly routes with different models routinely, so your model determines your pay.

I've been using Live for 15 years. The workflow is better in some ways—or at least it's extremely familiar—but I recently forced myself to learn Reaper. My mind is painstakingly slow to adjust, but Reaper's features make Ableton feel outrageously archaic. If I'm being honest with myself, I'll need another year or two to match my productivity with Live, but the bandaid had to be ripped off at some point, and I'm glad I did.

"A religion cannot fail, it can only be failed"; I admire your optimism, but I expect that the true believers will not question whether the premise of cryptocurrencies is wrong, but rather will twist themselves in knots to find new scapegoats as to why it doesn't work the way they expected.
this was a sincere legitimate question from me, I don't understand why it got downvoted
Assuming you're correct that they don't genuinely want inclusion and tolerance (and I might agree with you depending on the individual), that doesn't make them the same kind of person as racists. You see, racists have a long tradition of actually murdering people, not just being annoying.

What a truly absurd take.
It works out in the event that the shares end up worthless.
Take a look at this chart with monthly solar electricity generation in Germany [1].

In June there's 6 times more solar generation than in December.

That's it, if you want to build enough solar capacity to cover you in December, then it's going to be 6 times more than you need in June.

Solar might be cheaper than natural gas, but not by a factor of 6.

These scams, crashes, are exploits are non-issues to anyone with a reasonable degree of competence and skepticism. The solution is not to "fix" the system by removing user agency so that even an idiot can use it safely, but to educate users so that an idiot doesn't need to use cryptocurrency in the first place.

This criticism of cryptocurrency would be analogous to criticizing the concept of fiat currency by pointing to the inflation of the deutsche mark as an example. The cryptocurrencies being discussed here are real cryptocurrencies, they are bloated and useless shitcoins. Any credible project would not have all the bloated crap that enables the "exploits" mentioned in the article in the first place.

Not surprising that a “lynguist” would think this. But it’s wrong. Animals can communicate with language (whales, chimps, etc etc).

He's smart but he doesn't sound like an engineer at this point in his life/career. He sounds like a wealthy person who reads a wide variety of books/tweets and has range of smart but shallow talking points combined with a good deal of practiced hand waving.

He's probably better versed in modern art and finance than he is in computer science or engineering these days.

>...What happens if Putin is not insane? What happens if there were better diplomatic outcome to this situation that the war?

There're no more what ifs. The madman was amassing the troops on the border for months, dismissing any possibilities of preparing an invasion. Then invaded, and openly blackmailed the rest of the world with a nuclear strike, all spreaded by his chief "diplomat".

Present day russia as state proved to be pathologically incapable of maintaining signed treaties.

If anything, the diplomacy needed to rely on the effective sanctions. However, that's were the failure was. Since the 2014 the sanction pressure proved to be insignificant to alter russia's course. Did we get a second chance at it now?

Crypto attracts a lot of statements like this and it's so ridiculous when you think about it because usually the statement applies so generally as to be virtually irrelevant. Almost every invention or new thing solves a problem that was solved already, and yet they often find success and may even become more popular than whichever way people were using to solve that problem before.

The tech community should be keenly aware of this because there are new apps, new languages, new libraries, new plugins, etc all the time, which solve a problem that was pretty much solved already.

You might counter that new things usually have to have some value proposition to gain a footing, like cheaper, faster, more reliable, etc. For one, that's not always true, but also crypto does have a value proposition like that. It's immutable, trustless, and can be anonymous. And it is even cheaper and faster than the regular banking system in some circumstances, depending on the sum being sent and where it goes.

Completely not though. Often the target isn't the audience for an insult, it's intended to undermine or belittle them in front of their peers.

What makes insults insulting is that they draw focus to a real or perceived difference in or loss of status. That's an external perception that you may have some influence over by your response, but to a large degree it's outside of your control in the moment.

By definition, fad is an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived; a craze.
I don't see OOP enthusiasm to be short lived.

Many are still living in the Kingdom of Nouns, are follow Uncle Bob's preaching with due diligence and judge you harshly if you don't make everything a class and don't use lots of design patterns even if they are not needed.
I first read the Silmarillion 20 years ago and then re-read it last year. What struck me is how short it actually is, compared to the sense of scale that I remembered. Of course the Silmarillion is cherrypicked from decades of manuscripts, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising that it conveys a sense of mythological world-building depth beyond its page count.
