He's been canceling student debt for a while now. So far, it has been situations involving for profit institutions (hard to call them colleges) that were defrauding their students.

Enrolled! Went through the detailed lesson plan and you have done a great job structuring the course. I am looking forward to doing it over the weekend.

One suggestion: Instead of naming all the Jupyter notebooks "coding_exercise.ipynb", maybe name them differently? That way, they won't overwrite the previous download.

Great writeup. I know this post is just about Node but the implications for every language are pretty huge.

For JavaScript the TC39 is responsible for its improvement and standardisation. Thats were ES6 was developed. ES2016 aka ES6 took a fair amount of time, but the TC39 switched to "rolling releases". ES2017 aka ES 7 is already in the works and is going to be released 2017.

have you thought about your hiring process in general?

you don't you have something to talk about with people applying, coming from the same industry?

Some time ago I asked you if you would be interested in a book about Erlang performance. [1]

There were many people interested, but the publishers I talked to were not interested. So I wrote a book about designing Command Line Interfaces and writing Command Line Clients instead and published it on my own (http://theclibook.com)

As I still have material from the draft I sent out to the publishers I decided to publish the content on my blog. I hope you enjoy!

Ask HN: Who is interested in a book about high performance Erlang?

I wrote an article how to learn Erlang by example [1] which got a lot of good feedback recently when it was posted on HN. Thanks for the good feedback! :)The past weeks I am working on finding bottlenecks and try to improve the performance of Erlang Open Source projects.Based on my findings and insights I was asking myself if you would be interested in a book about way to measure and improve...

Cool thank you all for the great feedback, I'm Robert!

Right now I am writing a book on improving Erlang performance written in the same style like my blogpost!

I will also add a few more articles in the future. :)
