i switched from JS to Elixir. there are many benefits you can google yourself, but one thing i've realized for myself is that in regards to webapps LiveView is a real innovation. now PHP and others are copying what Elixir is doing, which is great, but it seems like Jose and others in the space are keeping Elixir on the frontline of innovation for a long time still. time and time again (like with the ML stuff) it amazes me how much Elixir is actually inventing new stuff and thinking outside of the "just a language" box. i almost quit programming honestly, because i just couldn't take the needless complexity of everyday life and Elixir saved my career. now i get shit done.

Nice, Posthog is just what i was looking for. Awesome!

Dev looking for marketing co-founder in edTech.

Devs don't teach programming in schools, because of small salary and loads of stress. Students don't seek programming, because it seems hard and boring.

Tinkr is bringing programming to schools. We offer any school teacher (physics for example) an opportunity to teach programming in their school. Training, materials, live coding environment, lessons and a professional coder helping in the background - everything a teacher needs to teach the class.

Tinkr also makes coding awesome by letting students write real-world webapps like websites, chat and multiplayer games that they can share to friends (they actually work, with database and everything).

I'm based in Estonia, looking for people that want to scale to the world, primarily missing a marketing person, but also designers, sales and wouldn't say no to dev help either.

First full-length course has been done and paid for. Students were thrilled.

Can't read, eyes hurt.

One of those ideas i never got to :) what's your plan with this?

https://bashboard.io

Spent 3 months making this metrics dashboard, where you can send any JSON or data and it'll pick out charts from it. Best part is - no 3rd party service is left out and the learning curve is super shallow (just make a request with any data).

The backend is very stable, but UX at the moment is poor, since I didn't manage to reach my target audience and am still thinking how to continue.

I think they are spotting a trend. Not one I'm a fan of, like the newsfeed to the left of my homescreen on my Pixel phone.

wow that was a wormhole. thanks for these. spent half of my day, but i have a much better understanding now what I'm dealing with.

And I built send plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/massfastmail/

This is what I come to HN for. Radically different viewpoint, well argumented, true to logic and heart.

best paragraph is the last one:

When will AI researchers learn? There is a saying in computer science: “Garbage in, garbage out”. The most remarkable thing about these stories is that the biggest companies, IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, all chose the worst corners of the internet as teaching material. Places that are widely known as the bridges of trolls. One can scarcely believe such naivety, and yet they keep doing it. Perhaps they are only “experimenting”, but that does not ring true for commercial products. More likely their goals are only feasible with current AI by prioritising quantity over quality. Or perhaps these stories are not entirely accurate. After all, I only learned them from the internet.

and I'm learning ML to try make some awesome new game mechanics. Still a noob, progress here: https://twitter.com/GamesWithML

CHANGELOG.md's last entry is

0.3.10 Beta - Popcorn Is Love - 31 October 2016

No info anywhere. Did it actually change?

I'm over here: https://krister.ee/. I like your grid though. Easy to scan.

tl;dr OP accidentally left a survey unfinished for the client, this a dispute was made. OP completed survey, client was okay to pay, but OP hadn't logged hours with always-on webcam thus money was refunded to client.

You have a "Your Price" option? Love it! https://commento.io/pricing

a much better link, thanks!

thanks :D

Yeah this is the worst in firefox. I'm desperately trying to stick to firefox out of principle, but Chrome is just sooo much more comfy beacuse of like 3 features.

Firefox actually has 2 domain specific search-shortcut features, but both take time to set up and then is not intuitive at all. Chrome just blows it out of the water.

Also wtf - if I type "hello" and press enter in the search bar in FF, it puts a "www." in front and ".com" at the end.. like holy hell, if I knew the domain I'll write .com myself, it really is no problem. I even went ahead and googled for 15 minutes and disabled this in some deep settings somewhere, but it still does it when I press enter too fast... damnit, it frustrates me every single day.

I hope they see this and fix this very-frustratingly-obvious anti-UX behaviour..

source please. So far I've only seen "experts" hack some old 20 US voting stations that are a joke in comparison.

I wonder what motivates creation of this as there are so many materials out there already?

Bad headline. Here's the important paragraph:

Taubes says the fundraising trip to Zurich went well, though he won’t share specifics. It could just be the jet lag, or it could be the mental burden of having to sing for his supper, but Taubes sounds tired. “I say this to my wife all the time: ‘Maybe I’m a quack.’ All quacks are sure they’re right. Isn’t that the defining characteristic of a quack? But the fact is that we funded four studies and the three randomized trials were highly successful operationally. One of these has been published in a top journal with interesting results and I remain hopeful that we will soon see if the last two studies will move some needles. Our convictions have gotten us this far, and despite some disappointments these questions still seem vitally important to test.”

The article basically says the team fell apart and the original donations got closed down because of this. Doesn't actually talk much about the studies themselves.

I (as an estonian) am amazed this topic is reaching the top of HN or any other outlet. Locally it's a dispute of whether what people need is free bus transport or actually a more frequent schedles (I would vote for the latter).

The E-residency thing is way more awesome however and (like the blockchain tech) will take even more time for it to live up to the hype :D

for me it wakes me the f up. It's strong like having drunk coffee or something. Results may vary of course, but works wonders for me and my focus during the day.

I know of an old woman who's beed ice-cold bucketing for years and looks great and hasn't been sick in a long time. Does this with -20C outside too. Yet I find I may get sick easier if it's too cold outside and I go all out freezing shower.

I searched for "porn". Got bad results like it's 2004. Neext :D

Cool idea to mash up though. Have you calculated how many people need to actively vote on stuff for the good results to actually get to the top?

Dude. Not a good response. Better to say "good point, thanks for the tip" since you're the one who suffers the bottom line - either you're understood or you aren't.

Cool site. If it'll go down anything like my own you'll get 30'000 views and like 3 buys, but no recurring revenue. You may be interested to read my experience: http://code.krister.ee/mybest-project-so-far-shutting-it-dow...

Don't think twice about contacting me :)

The instagram links are broken.

noone can access it, yet it's on the front page - must be good :D

For beginners https://antergos.com/ is a clean version of Arch just with a simple installer. So you get all the benefits of Arch with no bloat (like Manjaro) and don't have to learn installing the OS manually.
