There are basically zero Elixir jobs outside a few companies.

12% a year?

Even without the recent major price cuts to api gateway, isn't herokue drastically more expensive?

You have to have 50 or more employees for the business to be required to follow FMLA.

Couldn’t he just have replaced it with another glass jar?

Api gateway is very expensive once you get sustained load. EC2 much cheaper.

I don't have any experiments to share, but you can go father if you stop using socket.io, but I guess you need something to deal with long polling.

You should consider tweaking --max_old_space_size, we got a lot of mileage giving node more memory.

The problem is that damages can occur after the settlement, right?

If you avoid storing images, is there any other items you could be liable for?

At what hourly rate?

I don’t understand your point? I need to have a bunch of extra commercial relationships with companies that I previously didn’t for the same services I previously had. Just to watch maybe 5 more games that I care about.

I advise not being lazy and consuming emergency services if you can help it.

NBC owns the Premier League rights and they split the games across NBCSN (primary channel), Premier League Gold extra (3 games a weekend, this dumb online service that's just a cash grab), MSNBC (1? game week), and another channel I can't remember (1 game week?).

TNT has some of the champions league games, and the rest are on Bleacher Report Live -- some new paid online service.

FS1/FS2 has Bundesliga and some MLS games.

ESPN has Serie A, some MLS games. They also seem to have FA Cup, the Championship, and the Carabao Cup on ESPN+.

This is pretty terrible compared to a few years ago. You could see all PL matches via NBCSN or their extra NBCSN extra channels. Some big games would be on NBC proper. Fox/FS1/FS2 had the champions league. Now things are more splintered and you have to pay extra to see everything. In addition to getting the channels, to watch the Champions League + Premier League you have to buy TWO online only services that are both $9.99/mo or $65 and $80 a year.

For this season, the cheapest way to get NBCSN seems to be to use Sling Blue for $25/mo. FuboTV used to be really good, but it looks like they've basically been raising prices each year. Of course, SlingBlue doesn't come with ESPN/ESPN+ but it certainly covers most the PL games and part of the CL games.

No you can't, you can just try and keep your lambdas warm, but that isn't the same thing.

I’m not sure I have an issue, because I always use an external keyboard. Will Apple still fix my keyboard, or does it have to exhibit some issue?

That's kind of naive no? Everybody in this town buys Comcast, but that's not because it's a great product.

Are you arguing something can’t be poorly designed if it makes a lot of money?

Yes, AWS incentives are not aligned with their customers. Any sufficiently sized organization on AWS ends up building custom tooling to help manage cost. They may also hire consultants to help optimize cost.

This is all by design.

AWS doesn't recommend Aurora Serverless for production, yet.

I feel like serverless in a lot of cases is more expensive than just running a monolith, once you get past the toy example or past the MVP stage.

This is especially true once you factor in all the development overhead, which can ultimately be very expensive to do things correctly with serverless.

You're comments are getting quite circular. Your original post in this thread was implying that since the project is open source, corporate sponsorship was less important.

At least that is how it reads.

Sorry, but those languages don't really have adoption outside of small echo chambers.

Bugs exist in software that are not web services.

If I'm interested in building low latency and highly available web services it seems to me that both Go and Elixir are reasonable choices. How are they not the same primary domain?

But in any case, Elixir allows a lot more clever code. In my experience working on legacy software, clever code in a dynamic language is error prone and hard to refactor and maintain. Static typing can help, though, I've found this especially true in functional languages where you have a super smart developer do something clever that's hard to understand 5 years later.

I’m convinced that the people who just suggest forking an open source project with 100s or 1000s of man years behind it lack practical experience in building or maintaining large software systems.

Dismissing valid criticism with “just fork it if you don’t agree” has got to be some of the most useless advice parroted around open source.

What country is this? It’s certainly not that way in the USA at most universities.

It seems to me that you’re going to have a lot more trouble maintaining Elixir code than Go code over the long run.

Do you think language adoption in a company is anything other than "political / culture / habitual"?

But in any case, Go is a very straightforward language if you're already familiar with popular languages like C/C+, C#, Java, or JavaScript. You basically just need to learn the concurrency features (goroutines/csp/select keyword). Elixir is a much larger conceptual leap in that it is functional and the currency toolset is a lot more to grok. Deploying code with Go is also easier than Erlang/Elixir. Static typing is also pretty huge (dialyxir seems more like a bolt on).

I realize dialyxir exists, but I think a lack of static typing can lead to some maintainability issues over long term. At least this is my experience working on a 6 year old JavaScript codebase.

For non-stateful services, it seems very difficult to me to convince people to use Erlang/Elixir over Go. It also seems to me that Go is going to be more maintainable over time than Elixir. Also, Elixir has smaller corporate backing compared to Go.

fwiw, I work at a telecommunications company and I've had no success convincing anybody to use either Go or Erlang/Elixir over Java (& Clojure).
