There are probably very few parts of the code of a pacemaker that requires knowledge about medical devices or pacemakers specifically - probably the drivers that connect to the sensors and the algorithms that determine what the pacemaker sh

I've read about half the article so far, but isnt this basically prolog? Is there reference to efficency in the document? Constraint solvers like prolog are pretty slow.

Thats not really what peole refer to in C when they talk about undefined behaviour.
755.
by Illniyar 10y ago
Is undefined behavior a thing outside of C? Is that really something you should question rather then just assume that modern language have no undefined behavior?

Like I said, benchmarks are a terrible way to gauge performance, most of my rankings come from people's experience in various situations, Rust is too young for people to have any experience with it.

Well, for that matter, as I understood it, they also have no transactions nor atomicity and are basically eventually consistant , though these I'm simply inferring from their posts, it was not stated as far as I can remember. So MVCC a

Well, the relational model does not describe or contain a notion of table really, so I guess you could model it in any way you want, even within a single table. But I think that's a mute point, I doubt they kept any part of the relatio

It's a low level language without a GC and compiles to LLVM, it should in theory rival C/C++ in performance, but it's still young and only recently begun making headways for performance. So just a hunch, also some barely usab

v8 is just a javascript engine, node.js is a platform built on v8. Node.js adds various standard native modules - mostly various IO (file, tcp etc...), a way to load other modules, access to the underlying OS (environment variables etc...).

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that React Native is a replacement for the web. I meant that React Native can become a replacement for the parts of the web (or just html, the web is bigger) that try to be an application inside what is esse

Sorry, I meant all the new shiny languages are too young to make good estimation about and from those Go and Rust appear to be somewhere in the Java level. Didn't mean to imply that other shiny languages are in the Java level, just bad

It is. Just in a different way. Its cross platform development of logic, with per platform development of ui.

"Also, what is the scale of Uber that you think is unsuitable for RDBMS" Never said it's unsuitable, I have no idea. Just said the move from relational to NoSQL is what most billion dollar companies with mass-market apps or w

Every language has it's pros and cons in terms of performance and benchmarks are notoriously inadequate to compare but my general probing of people in the industry result in the following regarding language speed: 1. c/c++ is the

I'm of the opposite opinion, finally someone is getting a replacement for html and the web api that will actually fit with the design and implementation of applications. I'm tired of websites trying to be apps just so they'll

javascript engine provided by the OS, in iOS it's JavascriptCore, in UWP it's the chakra engine. Not sure what it is in Ubuntu, probably v8 packaged with the executable. In either case, it's not using node or v8/chromium

the secondary indexes are saved in a different table and (I can only assume) the application layer (or one layer above mySql) is responsible for keeping that table up to date. If you use only 1 table, then it's by no means "relati

Isn't react native using one thread for uiand another for running js? Can you use service workers with react native?

Other then using the same package manager there is very little overlap between the node ecosystem and react's, so I'm not sure what you are referring to

I think its worth mentioning again that what Uber ended up using has no resemblence to an RDBMS (single table, manual indexes). So regardless of whether their complaints are justified or not, it should not be taken as an endorsment of mySQL

Your comment implictly assumes that the programming langauge has a major impact on browser performance. My expierence with other product development tells me otherwise, and I trust that the people behind mozilla who are specifically buildin

Well, I think Servo is their leapfrog but in a very different way. Both IE/Edge and Chrome (and the current Firefox) are based on really old tech stacks with years of legacy code and design decisions. Servo, if it pans out, will be the

Well there new database is basically a key value store built on MySQL, so I think there isn't much to be gained by using MariaDB and it will add needless additional complexity.

So the major issue detailed here is that postgres basically uses immutables rows which creates performance issues with writes. Just read about their new schemaless db in their blog an the first paragraph contains this: "The basic entit
