You are right. But to @spyromus's point, it can be done. I've implemented a solution at my workplace that does exactly this using AWS. This assumes you've setup your server to authenticate with a JWT cookie. Phoenix itself does a pretty good job at being stateless and makes everything else easier. In the end, it all comes dow to draining connections from the old container and redirecting new traffic to the new container.

Hey man. First of all, great blog! Really like your writing. Now I wanted to know if this strategy worked out how you expected. How else do you motivate yourself?

Congrats! I think its brave to be doing this, but you've taken the right steps (paying off the mortgage). All the best for the future!

Thanks for the insightful article Arvind. I wanted to know if there was a reason why you didn't use the Http module: https://github.com/angular/...

Re: MIT Wristband Tricks You Into Feeling Cool, Without A/C

You may be right, but the way this article is written suggests otherwise. Dare I say, it's even misleading.

Re: MIT Wristband Tricks You Into Feeling Cool, Without A/C

Yep. I worded it poorly. My point is, say I'm out in the cold and the temperature outside is 0 C / 32 F. With this device, my body will think the temperature outside is warm. But given the fact that these conditions are perfect for hypothermia, how can this device prevent that? It cannot produce heat to make up for the temperature deficit and help my body maintain its stable temperature.

This is akin to putting a frog in gradually heated water. Eventually, the water will start boiling and the frog will be none the wiser. It's a play on our senses. Without additional monitoring, using it would be really unsafe.

This is a wonderful idea that advocates accessibility and elegance in the same breath.

The article didn't explain one thing. How does tricking the body into thinking the temperature is higher or lower change the body temperature? To me, that's the key.

Re: Facebook HHVM saga

Jagtesh Chadha — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:23:29 -0000

Nobody is ruling out MS tools. FB is a close ally of MS, and MS has a minor stake in FB. Note this, MS has introduced PHP on top of its CLR. It says something for the language and its popularity.

No language is the best in absolute terms, and can never be. But this development is very significant for those who like to code in PHP.

Jagtesh Chadha — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:17:25 -0000

For the uninitiated, the speed boost is achieved through Just In Time compilation and running the bytecode on this super fast PHP VM. Something similar already exists (op-code caching, Zend VM) but nothing comes close to this in terms of speed. Get this straight, this VM makes HipHop (PHP to C++) compiler/transcoder insignificant, and that's saying something. You don't have to take that extra step anymore, and your code just runs fast. Without any modifications.

Re: Facebook HHVM saga

Jagtesh Chadha — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:12:01 -0000

I'm very clear about the development and it's very clear now that you're not. Facebook may have sponsored this project, but its open source ( https://github.com/facebook... ) and makes PHP run 5 times faster than with the standard run time.

Do you even know what's a VM and in what context is the term used here?

Re: Facebook HHVM saga

Jagtesh Chadha — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:08:47 -0000

> 5 times as fast as Zend VM (the standard php runtime). The kind of performance one would get after converting to C++ with HipHop and compiling it.

STFU mate. If you had done what they've done, you'd be talking the same way.

Why should one use this app over Instagram or Pinterest? Is it intended only for those on the Evernote universe?

Every since I was a child, I've been going back and forth between these two paths.

Even when it came to my jobs(s), its been the same pattern. I always felt it but could never articulate it until I read this. Thank you Paul for making it all clear now! Unfortunately, it leaves me with more questions than answers!
