Re:Show HN: I wrote a new BitTorrent tracker in Elixir

Building a BitTorrent tracker out of GenServers makes zero sense. ETS is the correct choice to make here 100% (for a single server configuration). Obviously it doesn't scale horizontally but it will scale vertically to the moon and chances are, yagni anyway

What does "per bag" even mean? There's no weight (or mass) listed. If you're thinking that "bag" means "regular 1lb (or insert metric equiv. here) bag" and the first thing you see is $110/bag, it's quite the shock.

Maybe he's planning for a big star-spangled blowout and is getting us ready for it? Kind of like if MJ had jumped out of his coffin at the Staples Center to start singing Thriller?
Re:Ask HN: Why is concurrent programming so hard ?

Yes. I hear many a person bitch about concurrent programming. Concurrency is hard ONLY when you have mutable state. Otherwise, you just (call/cc ...) your continuations.
I thank my lucky stars every day that I go to a school where the first thing you learn is Scheme. Thanks, Matthias!

That would be fantastic, you know, if the banks didn't already rule the world. Do you think that banks are going to let software replace them? I have a hard time believing that this would come to fruition with anything less thank a full on revolution.
That said, I would wholeheartedly support such a revolution.
