Gift Ideas For Young Engineers
  • Leatherman for young'ins ($54) Comes with the knife blade detached which can be added when 'earned:' http://gearjunkie.com/leatherman-leap-kids-multi-tool
  • Weather Lab ($15) This is more science oriented. Science can be boring at times, but carefully noting numbers and charting phenomenon to find correlation is a concept all should understand. www.smartlabtoys.com/you-track-it-weather-lab.html
  • Robo Link A ($25) Kit that builds five robot variations. It's not an intelligent (interactive) robot. It's mean to learn bout gears (mechanical engineering). www.makershed.com/products/robo-link-a
  • Lego Mindstorms EV3 ($350) shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-MINDSTORMS-EV3-31313 Ultimate lego kit, comes with motors, sensors and programmable controller which allows you to write programs and built ultimately anything (robots, machines, etc.). You can use their graphical programming language or venture out into RobotC, which is C-based. Make serious robots without electronics to get in the way.

Introducing Phoenix: Concurrent

An excerpt from Programming Phoenix by Chris McCord, Bruce Tate, and José Valim

You won’t find a "PhoenixDelayedJob" or "ElixirResque", those complex packages that exist only to spin off reliable processes as a separate web task.

You don’t need one. Don’t get us wrong. In Ruby, those packages are well-conceived and a critical part of any well-crafted solution. In Elixir, those frameworks turn into primitives. The Elixir programming model makes reasoning about concurrent systems almost as easy as reasoning about single threaded ones. When you have two database fetches, you won’t have to artificially batch them together with a stored procedure or a complex query. You can just let them work at the same time, like this:

company_task  = Task.async(fn -> find_company(cid) end)

Use .test domain locally with pow

You'll need to reinstall pow after updating the POW_DOMAINS env var (see http://pow.cx/manual#section_3.1 for more details).

echo "export POW_DOMAINS=test,local" > ~/.powconfig
curl get.pow.cx | sh

Now you should be able to access your local apps (that are being server by pow) at the .test domain.
