rehemiau··on Elixir v1.6 released: code formatter, dynamic supervisors, and more
But that would apply ecto's style across whole codebase and for some function names this wouldn't be handy (see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/elixir-lang-core/xTduV3KZvfY... )
rehemiau··on SPAs are harder and always will be (2013)
You can have similar, equivalent or even better user experience with server-side rendering and "javascript sprinkles" as in Turbolinks or Unpoly
rehemiau··on Luna 1.0 Beta is out
What benefits would it give?
rehemiau··on Luna 1.0 Beta is out
Probably the editor will have domain-specific add-ons and libraries developed and supported by the company. They can also provide workshops and certifications if the language gets more popular.

Testing on firefox on android would be appreciated too, because right now the website is unusable :(
rehemiau··on Facebook's Adam Mosseri on Why You'll See Less Video, More from Friends
Don't they? I don't "like" almost any pages, and I don't "observe" most of my "friends". In my feed I see only actions of people that are important to me.

rehemiau··on Turbolinks: SPA-like Experience without the SPA-framework Hassle
See, you don't always need a SPA, you know.
rehemiau··on Qualcomm Centriq 2400: The first 10nm server processor
Also, many compilers are already heavily optimized for x86_64 but not so much for ARM64
rehemiau··on Google collects cell tower info even if location services are disabled
At the moment yes, but some phones let you disable Google apps through settings and I had this setup before. Another option is getting root access and uninstalling Google apps this way.
rehemiau··on Google collects cell tower info even if location services are disabled
You can buy a regular phone that has an active community on XDA forums and flash a ROM without installing google services afterwards.

If you can't do that, some phones just let you disable google services. On others you can try getting root access and then disabling them.

As an alternative (or addition for closed-source apps) to F-Droid I can recommend APKUpdater. It is highly configurable, has multiple apk sources, has search and can install apps from Google Play Store.

rehemiau··on Google collects cell tower info even if location services are disabled
I am using Android without Google Play Services. Some apps don't give me notifications, but most of them work without an issue. Also, I'm using Firefox with uBlock on this phone. Couldn't be happier with that setup and my phone's battery life.
rehemiau··on How Firefox Got Fast Again
This all mozilla's bragging about speed is premature. They should've published this article after firefox 57 reaches stable.
rehemiau··on Ask HN: What phone should I buy?
The mid-range processors to look at are Qualcomm 625 and 630

1. Nokia 7. The new Android-based HMD Global's Nokia is providing the fastest updates on the market. And the phones look really nice. Just came out so I think you'll have to wait for it or get a slightly less powerful (but also cheaper) Nokia 6. Or a Nokia 5. Or even a Nokia 3, if it's powerful enough. All of them should receive Android Oreo ([source](https://twitter.com/sarvikas/status/903867368052490240)]

2. Xiaomi Mi A1. Thanks to Android One project the phone should deliver both great stock system experience and fast updates. Unfortunately not available in every country.

3. Moto G5 plus. Stock Android and prettty good updates. But not as good as Nokia's.

4. Buy a cheap Xiaomi and install Lineage / other OS. The model I suggest is Redmi Note 4. I personally have a Redmi 4 Prime because it's smaller, but Note 4 has better ROM support.

rehemiau··on A straight talk about btrfs
I was wondering, how does Illumos fit into all this? Is their ZFS the Oracle-controlled one?
rehemiau··on Ask HN: What language/framework do you plan to use in your next project?
Whatever on backend + rendering all views there, plus unpolyjs for animations https://unpoly.com/ . This way the website should work without javascript!
rehemiau··on Elixir 1.5 released
You should keep checking out the forum[1] for remote work opportunities. And I don't think it's that hard, I just got a job in Europe in elixir ;)

rehemiau··on Qt 5.9 LTS released
They could make money on qt creator. It is a very good c++ IDE and people use it not only for creating Qt apps. Make a basic version free but allow installing extensions and other advanced features after paying for the license.
rehemiau··on Building a Reddit-like site after 3-4 months learning Elixir
There are (optional) type annotations. https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/typespecs.html
rehemiau··on Phoenix 1.3 is pure love for API development
It is not an imperative language. You can't hit a nail with a screwdriver. Well, you can, but... ;)

rehemiau··on Apple proposes new web 3D graphics API
> I understand your desire to have Vulkan on Apple platforms, but

There are no 'but's. Just support it and we can have simpler APIs on top of it.

rehemiau··on Proof You Can Become a Better Programmer
Here is a recipe for a successful shitpost on hacker news:

1. Write a blog post about your experience with X. Your description shall not be complete nor correct.

2. Wrap it around with a thesis on a random topic, which is semi-related to your experience, and which is by no means proven by your description.

3. ??

4. profit!

rehemiau··on Show HN: A next gen front-end framework with lots of editable examples
this routing example doesn't tell me anything. I want to be able to use its links as usual. When I go to http://nx-framework.com/home I get the frontpage instead of example.
rehemiau··on A Programming Language with Deterministic Multithreading
You should not be embarrassed. You did a thing and learned a bunch. Not knowing everything often leads to innovation, as knowledge can be a burden. I admire you!

That said, there's always more to know. I'm happy hackernews people are so critical and insightful with their comments. Good job and carry on!
