  • Between Elixir and Erlang. Erlang is what’s used in telecom right? Is Elixir as well? Is Elixir like a new improved Erlang? I’ve heard so much about Elixir recently.

    You have piqued my interest, I’ve recently gotten back into programming (I do “devops” for work) and don’t really consider myself a programmer, but I find languages fascinating. I was lucky enough to join a study group on compiler design with an Apache project leader and while it was over my head, I learned a lot and enjoyed it.

    (I know I could look this up, but enjoying the conversation :)








  • I think this is where “compartmentalization” comes in. Similar in concept to how you are forced to wall off sadness when a loved one dies so that you can continue to live your life, I think there are mentally competent right wingers, but they wall off the logic and reasoning so that it applies only to machines. They do this because if those ideas of logic and reason get beyond the wall/outside of the compartment, the meaning of their lives falls apart.
