FYI many (possibly all) of the Whole Foods here in Seattle did in fact change overnight: they added higher shelves, rearranged the layouts & product placements etc. All of this happened within the final day of the switch from what I can tell.

Fishbowl VR, we offer playtesting for VR/AR app developers. We're early stage and funded.

Looking for a Senior Web Developer/early hires to help with our app. An excellent way for someone to get into VR/AR.

Our current stack is Rails on AWS. We do a lot of video transcoding/dealing with large files etc. Most of our tech choices going forward will be very flexible.

The Moonman devlog has been a great read so far. Good insight into how much work it takes to make a polished game. Looking forward to playing it.

The read-manifest command seems to output a JSON of your Cargo.toml if you have tools you'd like to use that require it:

    cargo read-manifest --manifest-path .

I agree, my phrasing is too vitriolic. I feel that links like this are part of the decline in quality around here but, I'm not helping any.

Apparently I can't delete the comment myself at this point.

It is "Top X of Y" style article that adds almost nothing to the content. Edit: Try googling "Top X TED Talks" or a variation. Almost all of these are SEO spam articles on this exact topic. I'm sure I'm just being too negative but, I find it really annoying.

This is linkbait garbage. Giving Shopify the benefit of the doubt, I clicked on it expecting it to maybe be a parody of these types of articles. Disappointing.

For the people who don't like Erlang's syntax, there are alternatives. I've used Elixer (http://elixir-lang.org/) with some success. It has a Rubyish syntax and gets rid of a lot of the warts newcomers seem to dislike.

The language is actually the easiest part, the biggest hurdle seems to be organizing a complicated application to take advantage of OTP. Erlang is really about OTP; not the language.

The call out is "what I want to be" and of the 3 choices I'm given, all 3 are white male 25-30 something techies.

I can't understand why you'd want to advertise that so blatantly. I'd recommend something less abstract, like a useful explanation of what your site does etc.

That's a pretty striking lack of diversity in the call to action on the main page. ^C^P^P.
