That's a fair criticism. I don't have data on common modes of transit to games, unfortunately. I can assume that it's high for big cities but there is no way for me to know for sure. If I run across that data, I'll for sure revisit this.
I have 3 Withings products and I must say all 3 have helped improve my life and health. I hope this helps create more great things rather than uncertainty.
People spending their free time writing open source software should write it in whatever they want. There is no way anyone should be forced to comply with any standard when they are freely sharing their code. This article perfectly reflects my thoughts when it comes to asking open source authors to do anything: http://hueniverse.com/2016/01/26/how-to-use-open-source-and-...
I interviewed, made it to the paid project stage and got cut loose. Since then I've contributed to a number of open source projects and built some great things in production. Would now be a good time to apply again?
I tried Elixir about 2 months ago for a project and found the standard library was lacking and the quality of community contributed modules wasn't up to par with other languages. I've worked with Python and Node my career and I prefer the Multi-paradigm approach of a Language like Go or Rust than the functional approach. I'll probably give it a try again in a year when it's more mature.
I got started because a friend introduced me to torch: http://torch.ch/. It's very quick and easy to work with. From there I started doing more with it for processing data. Now I'm considering using it in a web application.
In my experience LinkedIn produces 97% spam the 3% of value they produce is so valuable that it keeps me there. All of the jobs I've worked in my career have come from a LinkedIn hook up. Additionally I have helped friends network into jobs through it. I wish they would clean things up a bit, however.
