Do not agree. Unless they cannot stay in place for more than a couple of months I don't really care. People put too much weight on having bodies fill their seats and not very much weight on the quality of the output.

While I agree I was influenced by confirmation bias to recall an anecdote that supports the blog’s argument, I don’t think it’s very meaningful to call out. It’s most important to consider confirmation bias if you are being overly supportive or dismissive of an argument, beyond what the evidence suggests. It would also be important to consider confirmation bias before making decisions.

Decency? Why the attack here?

it's not an attack. i just find it rude to post a paywalled article. why not take two seconds to post an archive link if you really need to?

because someone else will do it for you? is that really a decent attitude?

That is fine. Post the archive link (as you did) and gently let the poster know. You don't know who the poster is. It may be their first time trying to engage here. They may not know about archive. Many things can happen here.

Don't just assume the worse and start throwing words around. We are all trying to have fun, learn and have a conversation here.

Tesla in a nutshell.

Given a torus what initial configuration yields the maximum number of unique generations? :)

Yeah, this is like asking if energy has an infinite lifetime.

My suspicion that everything is made of pure abstract motion can be backed with a thought experiment. A spaceship with a light sail uses kinetic energy of photons that hit the sail. We know that anything can be dissolved into photons, we even know the exact amount of those photons from the e=mc2 formula, and when all those photons hit the light sail, they vanish from existence and become the kinetic energy of the spaceship. And what is kinetic energy? It's not even real. And as we know from the relativity theory, even as an abstraction, kinetic energy can't be measured with an absolute number, it has to be measured with respect to some imaginary reference frame.

The light also doesn't have an absolute energy though; like the ship's kinetic energy, the light’s frequency (hence energy) also depends on your relative speed.

None of this stuff is “real”, but boy does the bookkeeping seem to work out...

Rent a house in the new location + Rent out your curent house. Not ideal but you can do this for a few years to enjoy the increased tendies.

Simplicity. A real CPU is way more complicated than the toy cpus used.

Why not use something like cowboy?

I do intend to use cowboy. I guess I should have been more clear. There are definitely parts which I don't want to reinvent for obvious reasons.

But yeah. Product logic and security without using frameworks like Chicagoboos, Nova framework or Nitrogen is what I meant when I said no framework. Replacing any possible crypto parts or critical libraries like cowboy is not the intend.

yeah. you can get pretty far with it. i remember doing a similar experiment where I used just cowboy and plug without a framework (ie pheonix) when playing with elixir.

But they do negotiate all the time. For employees that are critical they do this all the time. For the regular employees? Nope
