Do you think small models will arrive? I mean if I need to write a web application in typescript why should I use a model that knows all the programming languages and it is able to reply to any questions about almost everything? I just a need a small performant model that knows how to write web applications in typescript. That could be very helpful and easy to run on my laptop.

I had the same exact story. My dad chose the TI instead of the C64 and the lack of games forced me to learn programming.

I participate almost every year but I don't care about the leaderboard. The timezone play a crucial role in being able to be ready at the right time, so actually who cares? I prefer to build private leaderboards with my friends and colleagues.

AFAIK Erlang and Elixir have a way to save the state just before the process is stopped. It should be the `trap_exit` flag on a gen_server that guarantees that the exit message will be managed. In that handler you can save all your state and resume it when the process restarts.

The TIOBE Index [1] ranks Fortran at 12th place! Consider that Ruby is at 18th. In my opinion, this says a lot about the value of the index.

The big TDD misunderstanding is that most people consider TDD a testing practice. The article doesn’t talk about TDD, it gives the reader some tips on how to write tests. That’s not TDD.

New comment by emadb in "Elixir Is Erlang, not Ruby"

emadb — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 11:10:59 +0000

Actually Elixir and Erlang are at the same level: they both run on the BEAM. So you need to know the BEAM that it is like a virtual machine that act differently from what we are used to (JVM, .NET). Once you learn the BEAM everything become clear and easy to use. IMHO Process state isolation and message passing are the core, that's not so difficult to learn and apply.

Question: how many of you uses a crypted VPN Tunnel daily? We all know that privacy is important and it will became more and more important in the next few years. Does tools like WireGuard help in these cases? Or I miss the main focus? Should we all used a private VPN tunnel?

Why did you choose Hyper? IMVHO iTerm2 is still far way better as a terminal.

I totally agree with you. Sometimes you love a song from the first listen, it bites you even if came from an artist that you don't know. My dream is a suggestion engine that "examine" the melody, the harmony, the frequencies that make the song and finds songs that are similar based on that parameters. Probably a signal analysis could help in finding why you like that songs.
