GOTO 2019 • The Soul of Erlang and Elixir • Saša Jurić

This talk feels, as a coding analogy, a lot more like throwing ingredients into a recipe than architecting an abstract machine.

An example being hackers reporting vulnerabilities which were subsequently retaliated against

Apparently I'm not the only one.

So if your review is considered 'bad for business', it gets you blocked from reviewing. Ridiculous.

Do you know the origins of the word 'salary'?

If you compare wallet size, you're likely bound to find someone with a fatter wallet.

If you compare wealth over time, you may find you're richer than many just by opening your kitchen cabinets. [0]

As long as humanity moves forward for each other (and we don't * up [2]), wealth increases for everyone, on average. [1] In metrics that a dollar amount can't capture.

Warren Buffett: "Time is the only thing you can't buy."

So over the last thousand years salt has been a hyper-inflationary asset, and you're trying to tell me I'm rich for owning some?

Relatively. Should have said wealthy.

I don't really buy it. It's not just about having food and shelter, wealth inequality affects culture, social issues, the collective psyche, etc.

Also you're going back really far there with a salary..what's the logical conclusion? The minimum standard of living should be based on society hundreds of years ago?

what line of work?

luck.

So, gambling?

product manager at big tech company.

the definition of luck i like to use is "when hard work and opportunity meet". there has been a lot of both but i can't stress how much opportunity has presented itself.

i don't believe i deserve 10x the income that many people earn. i do believe i can create 10x the value...but it doesn't seem right that the correlation of rewards should be so drastic. i couldn't be a ceo of a large company but i don't think they deserve 10x my income either.

Studying. Improving human knowledge. Honest inquiry dispensed from the peacocking and fighting over breadcrumbs of academia.

Can failures in human morality be solved by technology?

Should they?

My interpretation of these concerns from OP is that human in general has lost his/her own control on him/herself. The existence of Internet/Online services overwhelms each individual's cognition and emotion from every possible angle. Almost no way to escape unless you quit SNS.

If symbols are your pain point, why not just put those on an external macro pad? From what I remember, switching to Dvorak et al isn't best for increased efficiency, and you lock yourself from standard devices. Qwerty is better than good: it's good enough. Ergonomic keyboards are a good consideration, not for efficiency, but to avoid wrist pain.

That looks amazing, but for 6x the time of Kindle, and roughly the same price as a good graphics card, it's a definite NO for me.

Depends on your needs. I am an academic and spend a large part of my day reading math heavy papers and taking notes as I read. A large screen eink tablet is more useful to me than a good graphics card :-)

Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 ( possibly raspberry pi zero ) is an easy start. Don't reinvent the wheel

Embedded guy here. Concur with above. I come from a "do it in C, asm, etc" land on what use to be minimally capable processors.

Google "Python light control with RPi (Raspberry Pi)". Drastically simplifies things that use to be quite complicated for the novice to dig in to.

If you're a book reader, look for "Raspberry Pi Cookbook" by Simon Monk. Has pretty much everything you'll need to know in once place, including how to approach what you're talking about.
