rlbaker··on What happened with ASUS routers this morning?
Did not experience any issues with my RT-AX86U running Asuswrt-Merlin either.
rlbaker··on Go 1.11 Beta 1 is released
I'm not fully versed in the what the transition to the `vgo` proposal will look like, so pardon my ignorance.

Will it be available behind an environmental variable like the vendor experiment was?

rlbaker··on Go 1.11 Beta 1 is released
Important to note about `vgo` for beta1 though:

> NOTE: This is not present in go1.11beta1 but will be available in future betas and subsequent releases.

rlbaker··on Phoenix 1.2
Does anyone know if Programming Phoenix will be receiving an update for 1.2? Are there any backwards incompatible changes in 1.2 or Ecto 2.0?
rlbaker··on Elixir vs. Erlang: a question of momentum
Given I had no knowledge of rebar3 before clicking the link, it took me a while to discover what it actually is.

There is no descriptive text on the landing page aside from "Build Better Erlang" which i guess narrows this down to some sort of erlang developer tool. The Getting Started page has no mention of what we are installing actually does aside from a snippet in their console output log "you can use rebar to build OTP-compliant apps". So its a build tool? Not until "Basic Usage" do I find out in writing what rebar potentially is:

"Rebar3 comes with templates for creating applications, library applications (with no start/2), releases and plugins"

So it's a project templating tool? Does "comes with" mean it has more functionality than just templating? On the sidebar I see some terms that lead me to believe it can do more than that but I would love something on the landing page that told me exactly what the tool's purpose or function is.

From my understanding it is a tool similar to Leiningen?

rlbaker··on Golang web frameworks benchmark
I believe that Negroni is considered a library rather than a framework. https://github.com/codegangsta/negroni#is-negroni-a-framewor...

But I don't know why that would preclude it from these benchmarks because httprouter is not a full fledged framework either.

Wow, thanks so much for this! I really appreciate it.
rlbaker··on Scala School
I've been interested in venturing into Scala but have not found a good resource for getting a development environment setup. Should I be using an IDE or will sbt/Sublime be sufficient?
