yelnatzon Why am I interested in Elixir?

I've used it sparingly, I think deploying is pretty bad with it.

I like the convenience of deploying a golang app, just one executable.

Not always a great indicator but you can tell who's behind.

yelnatzon Unexpected challenges of making money on the internet

I'm a sucker for PayPal.

Most of the time it's 2-3 clicks when I want to buy something off of a random website, worst case is I have to login again.

Compare that to reaching out for your credit card and putting in your info. Plus you'd have to trust them now with your CC data.

yelnatzon IPv6 Adoption

I see your point, the title was a little bit ambiguous when I first read it.

I thought 20% of IPv6 went down or something.

yelnatzon How Elixir Helped Us Scale Our Video User Profile Service for the Olympics

It's especially impressive since the POST route represents 80% of the work load and Elixir only needs 3 servers.

yelnatzon Technical debt as an opportunity to accumulate technical wealth

I agree with this. Tech debt really is very similar to how selling call options work.

Unfortunately, not a lot of people know how options work, so now you have another problem of explaining how that works.

yelnatzon FastText – Library for fast text representation and classification

Yes, it can be used for sentiment analysis.

This library basically means you don't have to write the code for sentiment analysis anymore (just one example).

Just feed it a model:

    $ ./fasttext supervised -input train.txt -output model

And then you can predict what the most likely label for a text is:

    $ ./fasttext predict model.bin test.txt

Nope, it's not a joke.

This guy just got elected. He was mayor before this, and that's how he ran his city.

He had secret death squads that cleaned the streets and "transformed" his city to the 5th safest city in the world. [0]

yelnatzon Sun's galactic journey linked to mass extinctions (2013)

http://i.imgur.com/u69Qd6Y.png

Yellow dot is where we are right now, as you can see we are entering one of the black lines.

6 blue dots represent the known mass extinctions, they all lie on black lines.

5 orange dots represent proposed new mass extinction events proposed in the paper.

yelnatzon Sun's galactic journey linked to mass extinctions (2013)

My prediction is based on their newly weighted symmetrical model given at figure 2.

All previous extinction events are when the sun is in the galaxy arms, and we are currently entering one of them.

Welp, we're about to enter one of the arms.

It's been nice knowing you guys.

yelnatzon Elixir v1.3 released

I use elixir (and phoenix) as well, and this is my biggest gripe with the language.

When reading (and reviewing) code, sometimes you can't logically follow what's going on since most of the code is hidden behind macros.

It's ok if I'm on my IDE that helps expand macros to quickly check the flow, but when it's on a webpage or in a gist somewhere, you're on your own.

yelnatzon Machine Learning 101: What Is Regularization?

This is the kind of reasoning I was looking for. Thanks!

yelnatzon Machine Learning 101: What Is Regularization?

Do you have any sources that expands on how that LASSO optimization problem was graphed?

My thoughts when I looked at it: Where did beta come from? Whats the beta hat supposed to represent? Where'd the contours come from? How come they stopped there? Oh they're supposed to represent the weights? How do they represent the weights? Why is LASSO diamond, the other circular?

I remember seeing that graph a while ago, didn't understand it then, still don't understand it now.
