robinson_k··on Biden just canceled $5.8B in student loans. More borrowers could see relief soon
He's been canceling student debt for a while now. So far, it has been situations involving for profit institutions (hard to call them colleges) that were defrauding their students.
robinson_k··on Show HN: Fast Deep Reinforcement Learning Course
Enrolled! Went through the detailed lesson plan and you have done a great job structuring the course. I am looking forward to doing it over the weekend.

One suggestion: Instead of naming all the Jupyter notebooks "coding_exercise.ipynb", maybe name them differently? That way, they won't overwrite the previous download.

robinson_k··on Create lean Node.js image with Docker multi-stage build
Great writeup. I know this post is just about Node but the implications for every language are pretty huge.
robinson_k··on Ask HN: Why is everything in JavaScript changing so fast?
> Java had its Sun, Python had BDFL Guido, JS has no such thing.

For JavaScript the TC39 is responsible for its improvement and standardisation. Thats were ES6 was developed. ES2016 aka ES6 took a fair amount of time, but the TC39 switched to "rolling releases". ES2017 aka ES 7 is already in the works and is going to be released 2017.

robinson_k··on CouchDB 2.0
CouchDB is eventually consistent and does not guarantee consistency. Would a Jepsen test make sense?

robinson_k··on High Performance Erlang – Finding Bottlenecks in a CouchDB Cluster #1
Some time ago I asked you if you would be interested in a book about Erlang performance. [1]

There were many people interested, but the publishers I talked to were not interested. So I wrote a book about designing Command Line Interfaces and writing Command Line Clients instead and published it on my own (http://theclibook.com)

As I still have material from the draft I sent out to the publishers I decided to publish the content on my blog. I hope you enjoy!

Robert :)

Cool thank you all for the great feedback, I'm Robert!

Right now I am writing a book on improving Erlang performance written in the same style like my blogpost!

I will also add a few more articles in the future. :)
