erlang + rebar + cowboy Hello World

This is the process of setting up erlang, rebar3, and cowboy for a Hello World, starting with a clean Debian 8 install.

Update apt and install deps:

root@046edcaea45a:~# apt-get update
root@046edcaea45a:~# apt-get install erlang erlang-dev gcc
root@046edcaea45a:~# wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/rebar3/rebar3
root@046edcaea45a:~# mkdir ~/bin/
root@046edcaea45a:~# mv rebar3 ~/bin/
root@046edcaea45a:~# chmod +x ~/bin/rebar3

talk given by John Ousterhout about sustaining relationships

"Scar Tissues Make Relationships Wear Out"

04/26/2103. From a lecture by Professor John Ousterhout at Stanford, class CS142.

This is my most touchy-feely thought for the weekend. Here’s the basic idea: It’s really hard to build relationships that last for a long time. If you haven’t discovered this, you will discover this sooner or later. And it's hard both for personal relationships and for business relationships. And to me, it's pretty amazing that two people can stay married for 25 years without killing each other.

[Laughter]

> But honestly, most professional relationships don't last anywhere near that long. The best bands always seem to break up after 2 or 3 years. And business partnerships fall apart, and there's all these problems in these relationships that just don't last. So, why is that? Well, in my view, it’s relationships don't fail because there some single catastrophic event to destroy them, although often there is a single catastrophic event around the the end of the relation

This is a little challenge to find out which tools programmers use to get their everyday tasks done quickly.

You got your hands on some data that was leaked from a social network and you want to help the poor people.

Luckily you know a government service to automatically block a list of credit cards.

The service is a little old school though and you have to upload a CSV file in the exact format. The upload fails if the CSV file contains invalid data.

The CSV files should have two columns, Name and Credit Card. Also, it must be named after the following pattern:

YYYYMMDD.csv.
