Interesting. How does it compare to other CI software like Jenkins? I'm always a bit skeptic about tools that look nice but turn out to be limited when put to real work.
Their client should definitely sue now. Especially if he had an NDA with them.
The purpose of their article is to get new clients from HN and any other sources that they might impress. I wouldn't be surprised if they bought upvotes for this post as well. What they don't mention is that Reddit will eventually probably ban all the accounts that they've used, because the sellers from Fiverr use bots.
Maybe the immutability is not 100% now, but it will be when the technology is finalized, which will take a few more years. The fork to save DAO funds was a good thing, because otherwise too much ETH would have been in the hands of an attacker. The ETH distribution would have been skewed. That's all.
It's out of stock. Anyway... they'd have to be really big. Think about it: with the money for LB you could buy instead 4 ETH and a Ledger Nano to keep them on it.
Pillars of Eternity is really fantastic. I dropped more hours than I'm willing to admit on that game and I might pick it up again when I have some more free time. I'm also really looking forward to playing Tyranny.
As much as I would love to be able to cook homemade meals everyday, I simply don't have the time. That being said, I think that learning how to cook is important. There are so many things in life that people are unwilling to do for themselves because they've never learned how initially and now the bar seems too high. I'm not saying that we need to forgo innovation but I think that learning how to cook, or generally understanding how your car operates should be at least low level priorities even if you don't plan on using that knowledge on a daily basis. Drink Soylent if you want, but try baking a loaf of bread some time as well.
The election was close. Several states had margins of victory of right around 1%. I didn't look too closely but less than 500,000 votes is enough to flip the winner in a couple of states and swing the whole election. Considering you've got ~ 120 million votes that seems pretty close to me.
Edit: Looks like 147,029 votes is enough to flip Wisconsin and Florida and give Clinton the Electoral College.
My company nearly had #2 pushed on us. We've been using Postgres and there is no solid reason for us to switch but a consultant came in an suggested Oracle just because all the big boys use it. That argument has a measurable amount of sway for some reason.
We've pushed a couple of Elixir apps in the past six months. There was definitely a bit of worry that no one would be able to maintain it, but I have to say that the code is very readable. So many languages integrate some functional aspects that the code doesn't look foreign in most cases.
Also, the Phoenix Framework (if you're building a web app) is really, really nice.
