   Thanks for writing that. How do you spend your time? Do you find it fulfilling?

   Introducing Elixir by Simon St Laurent is coming out soon. I read a pre-release version and it is exactly what you want.

   Joe's points are really good. This drives me crazy in Elixir: iex(1)> f = fn x -> x + 1 end #Function<erl_eval.6.82930912> iex(2)> f() (UndefinedFunctionError) undefined function(stack trace trimmed...) iex(2)> f.

   I'm not sure that the demographic or the site is money losing over the long term, like youtube.

   This is not a good analysis. Tumblr has a demographic access that yahoo doesn't. Yahoo can generate ad revenues due to scale that Tumblr couldn't. Karp adds a perspective that Yahoo needs. It's unclear whether the acquisition will be a succ

   Tf you live outside of the US or just travel a lot, and have a US account, the Chase Sapphire Preferred is THE card to have. it saves me a lot of money. i like it slightly better than the Starwood Amex just because i can use it more places.

   wow please tell more. "for a while" means people's anger passed? or you guys switched back?

    This is written by someone who actually writes a popular web framework for Erlang - the exact opposite of throwing a static site on S3. That gives this piece more credibility - he knows how to build active server-side software as well.

    Erlang (or Elixir) runs really well on the Pi - and cross-node communication is brain-dead simple.

    I'm going to assume you're not just trolling here. There are whole companies who make elaborate servers that speak simple protocols. Membase is essentially a much more elaborate, multi-server replicated database that speaks the Memcache pro

    It's really a much longer story. We use Redis and Couch together. Redis for caching, Couch for long-term storage. Whether Couch has or doesn't have Map/Reduce is irrelevant, really. Couch Map/Reduce is a toy (just like Riak) and is not to b

    At my consulting company, Inaka, we built this originally as a side project when we were using Redis and thought we needed multi-master larger-than-RAM datasets, but then we ended up moving to CouchDB for that project. It's currently a rese

    for 4) - ruby style DSLs. It's something that Erlang doesn't lack in principle due to parse transformations, but in practice, the difficulty of writing parse transformations and the sense in which prolog syntax doesn't lend itself to simpl

    i've started using Elixir for all my side projects. It's very satisfying to use and as it sits on Erlang/OTP, you get all the power of Erlang, all the libraries, etc. It still means it's not great for math; it's too slow just like Erlang. B

    This is interesting, but the problem is this is all a certain type of startup. Whisper, for instance, is "hot" both in funding and user growth, but it's a demographic that wouldn't trigger these indicators - kids at 19 don't have linked in,

    Thanks for clarifying! It's like i had all the concepts there - out of band and SS7 - but didn't really get the details. This is why I love HN.

    SMS does use the out of band but it was more of an accident of the SS7 protocol. you should read up on SS7 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_System_No._7

    That's the best one sentence summary of why it's deflationary, actually.
