I still think Whisper has the biggest Phoenix deployment in terms of traffic. It's a huge part of what makes our web development easy because our backend is all Erlang. Thanks Chris and José (and everyone else) for such a great set of tools.

We just bought a SAAS business via FE International last month (http://talentdesk.com). Process was incredibly smooth. I'm happy to answer questions privately if anyone has any on what it's like on the buyer side.

"If you’re in a car, you see watches outside the car go slower. They only go a little slower, so you wouldn’t notice it in your normal life; it takes the best watches in the world to even tell that it’s happening. But it really does happen."

I have been asked that by a police officer and I find the best way to answer is "that's a good question!"

I've built dozens of Erlang apps and used ETS in every one. I've used Mnesia once, and it was not a pleasant experience. Most Erlang dev teams use ETS directly. It's possible to use Mnesia successfully but I see it far less often than ETS these days.

This type of use of H1-Bs is really frustrating for people that legitimately have developers who have a true need for the visa.

I've hosted FWD.us events, and I've applied for a number of H1-Bs (among other visas). It's hard to advocate for immigration reform when you see abuse like this.

I didn't say it wasn't complicated. What I said was most lift is due to angle of attack.

The fact is that the percentage of lift that is attributable to angle of attack is far greater than that due to reduction in air pressure across the curved part of the wing.

most lift is not generated above the wing but due to angle of attack which is the angle of the wing relative to the flight path.

If you don't want to build your own, the green egg is a really solid ceramic smoker/oven. expensive but the results are consistently good.
