Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years professional experience. Demonstrated history of shipping on a team. I have nearly 10 years of experience working on web technologies, most recently with Ruby, Elixir, and React, but I also have a significant systems background (SQL internals, Linux, Distributed Systems, Concurrency Fundamentals). Passionate about high performance, high efficiency software and can sling code with the best of them.
I think there’s also a variety factor, heirlooms are usually very unique and fun-looking. But yes I think taste is generally good too. I’m growing heirloom Zucchini and Tomatoes this year. The tomato flavor certainly isn’t bad, about on par with other good garden tomatoes. The zucchini on the other hand is out of this world good, and retains the flavor even when the fruits are large, unusual for most other Zuccs. (Variety is Costata Romanesco)
The Prius' efficiency comes from much much more than regenerative braking. Part is a focus on good aero and low weight, like many electric cars. But most is from leveraging the electric motors to allow the engine to run at max thermal efficiency (probably a touch above your 30% figure) at nearly all times.
ICEs are most efficient under medium-low RPMs and high load. The electric motors can sustain low speed cruising, letting the engine shut off entirely if it wouldn't be well utilized, and also fill in for high torque demand to keep engine power output lower.
The elixir world has Oban[0] which implements quite a lot of advanced job features on top of PG. Admittedly it doesn’t quite have the usage of Celery and Sidekiq but most queueing libraries don’t.
IMO one of the reasons that works for Elixir is that Elixir itself is built for all sorts of concurrent workloads.
In most other languages, you’re sending everything to the queue. With Elixir you only need a small subset of background work to go to a queue, which is usually work that would stress the database.
Postgres? ;) In all seriousness though, I wouldn't really expect database needs for Erlang & Friends to be that different from other languages. My current employer has a vertically scaled AWS RDS Postgres as companion for an Elixir app and it's worked great. (Ecto in particular is an excellent ORM.) If your app truly needs zero downtime or ultra-low latency then there are other options.
In my experience this results in a "Hey" from the woman 90% of the time. I've quipped to friends that it's "men message first, with extra steps". But I suppose the act of messaging counts more than the message.
This is just whataboutism. Gold isn't used as a currency. Seems a stretch to claim the armies exist solely for the USD. And until the Lightning Network is actually implemented it will remain theoretical.
Not sure where you get your news but LN is implemented and functional. There are wallets, services, software, etc, downloadable, functional, used every day. If what you mean to say "get all the marchants that support BTC to accept LN", then yes, there is still some progress needs to be done.
The LN is not functional. It does not have an implementation of routing that scales. Nobody knows how to make an implementation of routing that scales.
If LN ever sees anything more than toy usage, it will fall over instantly, and become unusable.
