I come from a javascript/python background, you might want to take a look at the Phoenix web framework[1], as it will give you a good introduction into the language, but also introduce some new concepts (OTP-wise) that will help you think more "elixir-y" (or "erlang-y").

One thing I constantly keep in mind when programming in Elixir is that, using it in the same way you would use Python is a waste. For example, when I use Python, I'm not typically thinking of concurrency (outside of, "how many gunicorn workers will I need?"), because of the situation with concurrency in Python. Using Elixir (or Erlang), you really aren't taking full advantage of the language/runtime/VM if you don't take concurrency into account. If all you want to do is a little string munging, you can do it in Elixir, but it is probably not the best tool for the job.

The Mix & OTP guides available on elixir-lang.org are great, but if you want more information on OTP, the OTP chapters in "Learn you some Erlang"[2] are wonderful. You will have to do some translation from Erlang syntax to Elixir, but it is a great way to learn how to think concurrency.

I like fn a lot more than fun. fns are serious business! (and personally I have a hard time dealing with abbreviations that are themselves actual words, fn stands out more)

fwiw, continue and return used to be cont and ret, match used to be alt, crate used to be not a keyword iirc.

There is a short window between sleeping & waking where recall is possible, you need to capture the thought immediately. There's a book on this topic, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/27/science/27dream.html

"Using dream incubation for problem solving, Dr. Barrett, the author of “The Committee of Sleep,” which expanded on her initial research, asks patients to write down a problem as a brief phrase or sentence and place the note next to the bed. Then she tells them to review the problem for a few minutes before going to bed, and once in bed, visualize the problem as a concrete image, if possible.

As they are drifting off to sleep, the patients should tell themselves they want to dream about the problem and ideally keep a pen and paper, and perhaps a flashlight or a pen with a lit tip, on the night table. No matter what time they wake up, they should lie quietly before getting out of bed, note whether there is “any trace of a recalled dream and invite more of the dream to return if possible.” They should write down everything they remember. "

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnopompic, "A hypnopompic state is the state of consciousness leading out of sleep ... When the awakening occurs out of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, in which most dreams occur, the hypnopompic state is sometimes accompanied by lingering vivid imagery. Some of the creative insights attributed to dreams actually happen in this moment of awakening from REM"

With segmented sleep, there are two daily instances of sleep-wake transition, so the chance of capturing notes is doubled, http://www.polyphasicsociety.com/polyphasic-sleep/overviews/...

It might be interesting to purchase a cheap, digital one with stopwatch functionality.

As discussed in detail elswhere abive: the problem is not with the ability to preserve hardlinks, but the resources, namely RAM, required to do so.

Two tar command would in fact be much worse, because they'd require twice as many resources.
I've read anecdotes about people who solve technical problems in their dreams and the concept of getting a few more mental hours out of the day is very appealing.

This is one that every russian kid knows from school days:

"I saw in a dream a table where all elements fell into place as required. Awakening, I immediately wrote it down on a piece of paper, only in one place did a correction later seem necessary."

From a small statistical sample of people I meet every day in public transport when going to and back from work, I can say that almost everyone looking at the phone is either texting or IM-ing (Facebook Messenger/Snapchat), and if not they're usually on Facebook (which I'd still classify as mostly communicating). Usually the only person I with a game on I can spot is myself playing Ingress, because the city centre is full of portals ;).

And in general, looking at my life and the life of my friends, cow-orkers and family, people are communicating hell and a lot more than they used to.

If anything is a problem, it's maybe not lack of but too much human interaction. People don't find time to think for even few minutes anymore, because there's always someone texting you, chatting to you or some interesting post to comment on.

Yes, the cerebellum is know as 'lillehjernen' in Danish and that word is the only word most people know for it. Nevertheless, doctors learn the word cerebellum so they can read what doctors in other countries write.

They also use the word amongst themselves. Googling for 'cerebellum ugeskrift for læger' gives plenty of hits. Likewise for 'cerebellar ugeskrift for læger'.

They might write 'agenese' instead of 'agenesis', though.

of course they all can do double, but at 1/24th of the speed of single. (1/32th in maxwell)

they use a GK104 based tesla, i.e a "dual GPU" GTX680, so it has no real double precision. unless you consider 2x 95GFlops noteworthy.

Yes, exactly, we can make translations of symbols so that it is actually easier for human readers to decode the meaning and message of the symbols. Perhaps we could even reuse previous symbols and meanings to convey what we want to convey instead of offering ambiguity.

I just wonder, who would have thought of such an idea. That is genious. And something that has completely evaded Rust designers.
well, yes, technically correct, but a CPU has much better double precision performance than that.

1/24th (or 1/32th in maxwell) of single precision performance doesn't really sell the usefulness of CUDA.

You can't see how a company with a bottomless pocket and the most computing resources can help them achieve their goals?
I recently followed "Learning how to learn" on Coursera, and they mentioned two main mode of operation of the brain: focused and diffuse mode. In the first mode, you are obviously focused, but it does not allow you to use part of your brain not related to the task at hand. On the other hand, the diffuse mode is activated when you are more relaxed, and allows you to create connections with remote parts of your brain.

So they advise when you are stuck to sleep on it, to allow the diffuse mode to kick in.

If you are interested, I would recommend you to follow the course. Most of the advice are not earth shattering, but I found the explanation on how our brains work when learning quite interesting.

Yes but couldn't you have a casing that holds a dozen cells instead of a casing on each individual cell?

If a cell burns it is going to take out its neighbors anyway.

Or they could start to do something similar to LiFePo4 which will not burn.
I doubt it, since you're using a pipe. It's not like you're actually storing the whole archive anywhere.

Also, and just to be clear, I did not invent this idea of using tar for this. I remember having read it in a Unix manual when I was learning about this OS.

And even if using tar is not a good idea, it should certainly be considered and as such I don't understand why OP doesn't even mention it in his post.
I wouldn't. Many cron tasks are used for diagnostics, and must continue to work even when your web stack doesn't. Other cron tasks run a long time and NGINX will kill processes that seem unresponsive. Other cron jobs must not be started twice (so they require locking). Cron isn't perfect, but it's very simple and completely reliable.

I think you should focus on SaaS products that you can charge at least a few hundred a month for. If people aren't even willing to pay that much you're probably not solving a big enough problem.

I believe ericd is talking about the ascent, not the descent.

If you want to jump over a building, you need to depart the ground at the same speed as you'll hit it on the way down (more, because of air resistance). The forces applied to your body are just as lethal in both directions.

(This specifically applies to jumping, where all your acceleration comes at the beginning of the journey. Jetpacks, planes, etc. get around the problem by letting you accelerate while in midair.)

> The entire GPU programming landscape is so fragmented and unapproachable now.

it's fragmented, true, but it's not that bad.

> If they'd only exposed the processors directly and worked to unify behind a common compiler frontend...

they don't need to, LLVM-SPIR is supposed to enable this - compile kernels to IR and let the runtime JIT it into the GPUs required binary.

> And what Intel's Larrabee would have enabled.

intel did release the larrabee, sort of. it's called the Xeon Phi (and it isn't exactly great..)

> The comically bad software from AMD

AMD have a well deserved reputation, but things aren't that bad now.

> OpenCL is better than nothing, but even if the implementations were of usable quality

i don't know what problems you run into specifically, but most of the runtimes are definitely of usable quality. ironically, it's apple have the worst runtime (but even that isn't so bad).. think of that what you will!

things have improved in the OpenCL space, and they will continue to improve for the foreseeable future. AMD and intel are doing good here, and nvidia actually do support OpenCL. questions of performance portability aside, CL is a pretty good option for people wanting to run on GPUs.
I would count img as entertainment. Just read over some peoples shoulders.

I think you shared my point, that too much communication starts to be superficial. Subway is a undisturbed time, where reading news or books can be done. Indeed, if you want to communicate in a meaningful way, it makes sense to reload information from time to time.

It seems everyone here is afraid to say anything too.

This is one of the few NYT articles where the comments actually add to the discussion rather than become a partisan shouting match.
I don't think he means that Israel is pulling the strings -- but that is debatable (see AIPAC).

I think what he is saying is that the fascist governments and capabilities of Israel and the U.S. would have been envied by Nazi germany.

Maybe he has a point. Just consider the recent round of violence (to put it lightly, some might call it ethnic cleansing) in gaza. Now consider the success of dehumanizing the palestinians to the point where nobody in the world -- not even the arab nations took significant diplomatic action against Israeli aggression. Consider that in context of the scale of destruction of civilian infrastructure and the rate of civilian casualties. Huge propaganda success. All in this day and age of twitter/fb despite near total destruction of Gaza and overwhelming deaths of civilians.

How many countries outside of south america recalled ambassadors? How much divestment? How many canceled contracts gas/weapons/settlement-products? Nothing significant enough to reverse Israeli actions. In the end, Israel only stopped because there was nothing left to destroy.

I attempted by using enforced time limits. I did not succeed.

My child became addicted. I discovered him sprawled out unconscious like a junkie, with dead batteries littering the floor like so many used syringes, and knew he'd managed to obtain a hand held unit from somewhere.

Other comments made light of addiction, yet it's very real for some people. The slingshot response to control, overindulgence, seems to be common. Success stories about alcohol, drugs, pornography, and other adult subjects usually involve teaching self discipline early on with things such as sweets.

Try not to get too frustrated. The challenges of parenting don't last much more than three, maybe four decades.

Show HN: Winbrew: A Homebrew-inspired package installer for Windows development
This was a particular problem on the Amiga system, among others. There were attempts to retro-fit resource tracking to the OS, but this was made all-but-impossible by the fact that a process can malloc() a chunk of memory, write a message in it, and then hand a pointer to that message to another process, expecting the other process to dealloc() it. This made for wonderfully cheap inter-process communication (for instance, the filesystem would load blocks from disc and pass them as messages to the process wanting them).
Think about how your website different from other social media website? Is your user-friendly and providing more advance features then other? If yes, then draft detail document, create videos, and plan for marketing strategy.

Initial basis, you will need to active your website and connect yourself, employees, family and friends for test purpose. Receive feedback and suggestion from their and implement if applicable. Once they are connected, they will promote your business and will discuss with his/her friends. When your website is live then start email marketing, content marketing, video sharing, etc.
You're absolutely right but this is a strange situation. It would take a pretty good NLP to figure out that this is the case and all things otherwise being equal I don't know how the archive would be told not to archive certain data if not through robots.txt, which is the non-human readable form. Otherwise you could always use the absence of either to do an end-run around the other.

So for practical reasons it is probably best to claim both copyright on the page and to set up robots.txt to specifically forbid those pieces that you don't want spread around from being indexed/archived.

In the eyes of the law probably only the copyright bit matters.
Agreed it normally would be more expensive. Although I'm on a plan that gives me a few hundred minutes of talk time per month that I don't come anywhere near to using.

> that too much communication starts to be superficial

Yes, I agree with that. I actually start thinking about clustering communication types in different ways that it is usually done. I'd say that writing paper letters, writing e-mails and even commenting on discussion boards or places like HackerNews are one type of communication, while face-to-face talk, phone call, texting and IM-ing is the other type (and of course IRC would be grouped with going to a bar).

One type of communication gives you time to articulate your thoughts and reflect on what you have to say. The other is about tight feedback loop, back-and-forthing little bites of thought and emotion. Both types are of course useful and important, but I'm starting to feel that the perceived "superficiality" of communication is people talking too much with each other, and not writing enough letters. Too much human warmth, not enough time to think.

Sure, our technology is a facilitator of this problem. But the nature of the problem is different than usually portrayed.
I'm really intrigued by Elixir/Erlang and would love to learn more about it. The problem (and this isn't a criticism of the language at all) is that I just can't figure out what I would use it for. Currently I'm mostly working on webapps, and although I have control over the technology I use I'm not sure I can justify using Elixir in my projects.

I'm working mostly with rapidly-changing MVPs, and the ability Rails gives me to iterate quickly is valuable to me. If I understand the Erlang value proposition, it's really meant for sending and dealing with millions or billions of messages in a distributed, fault-tolerant way. But since I'm nowhere near that scale (if my MVP can handle 5 concurrent users that's typically good enough to start with), I feel like switching to a language with less of an ecosystem would be almost all downside, even if the resulting code would be more scaleable. I'd love it if someone tells me that I'm wrong.

The list was initially a text document on my computer as a reference on useful modules when learning Node, as the discovery on npm was really bad. 2 years later and the discovery on npm has gotten even worse. This is my try at making something a bit more coherent. It's obviously biased and I've included some of my own packages I find useful, but as stated earlier, happy to change things around.
I ran across a similar thing a few months ago named docker-gen[1]. It listens to the docker event stream in the same way Registrator does, but instead of talking to an external service it regenerates a config file from a template and then optionally runs a command. The canonical example is regenerating a host-wide nginx proxy config when containers start and die, and then restarting nginx.

Just goes to show how versatile docker can be by exposing that event stream to arbitrary processes.
