I had some legitimately scary things that may or may not be tracking but I cannot explain it without tracking. I watch some youtube video where the audio mentions a historic place of battle and then seconds later it shows up in my Google Ch

If they are a purely academic project then why compare yourself to a commercial alternative? Those are two different worlds. I seem to recall that they specifically mentioned somewhere that it's not just for academic interest, otherw

Please do a benchmark and feature comparison against aerospike and foundationdb, those are your main open source competitors as far as I can tell. Maybe I live in a different world but to me it really doesn't matter how good Anna is ve

2.8 is a massive improvement imo, tooltips and nicer icons for everything.

I think ultimately it will have to be social proof that proves which identity a website has. This sounds weird at first but think about it, any type of other identification is going to be text or image based - which is easily spoofed. Certi

Well I guess I learned something new today, open source is apparently a term that was defined by somebody and has a counter intuitive meaning. To me it has always meant that the code is available for viewing - nothing more. I assumed this w

That sounds great, this way you can have the machine count the votes for convenience but also let humans count again and if there is any mismatch then we know that there is a problem.

AMP has a pretty bad user experience that is unrelated to performance: It's super confusing for me when I am on a news site and the url bar shows a long unfamiliar string. It actually makes me feel like I need to check if I'm on a

I had a bad reaction to it too but I think golang has probably crossed a certain threshold of adoption where if they want to grow even further they will have to cut into the market of the general population and those people definitely like

I didn't mean to imply that C has enough features, it definitely should have a few more. But that should be it, don't keep adding stuff just because it's 'nice' to have. The added cost of maintaining big codebases o

I think the culprit are the programming languages, they offer all these features that allow complexity. If you allow it, people use it. It sounds like an oversimplification of the problem but I honestly think that's the entire problem

I'm the first guy to defend the need for multiple languages but how then make it safer? Maybe highlight which characters are unicode in the url string...

Browsers should not support Unicode in the address bar

What's with these random jabs at companies, you are just trying to create a culture of irrational dislike. I don't even care if you attack Google but everytime you do so, you have to cite exactly why you are doing it. Not some neb

It's not comparable whatsoever to how much faster Java is. In Eclipse it basically compiles in the background right after saving a file so you never feel the impact of compilation.

by Meai 9y ago
The only thing that is holding .NET back is the significantly slower compilation speed when compared to Eclipse's incremental java compiler.

yeah maybe, it was a little over the top I guess. I was thinking of a brutalist building with seemingly 2 meter thick walls and tiny slits for windows and it seemed to be barely useful for actual living, so that's why I exaggerated wit

That's a great point, I think a brutalist data entry website would be a giant table of input boxes without labels, only hover over text. Something like that, where it looks efficient... but in reality it's kinda ugly and a pain to

They had one job: Add type annotations. 99.99% of all issues I have with javascript would be solved with that, but I guess it just wasn't in the stars.

It sounds like it wont compile to C or use LLVM, you have some kind of custom VM?

The demo https://www.mapd.com/demos/tweetmap/ is pretty laggy, I think you should probably make it more performant so people don't think it's the DB that is causing the problem.

I don't think that I'm underestimating the passive awareness effect, I think it's very negligably useful. Not only that, it should obviously be solved by a great wiki-type solution that doesn't exist yet. It would be som

That is exactly how I see and have experienced it as well. It's part of why I called it a motivation killer but I didn't go into more detail. Not only because of the accusatory thing but also I actually like to surprise my collea

In my opinion standups are mood killers. If you need something, you ask for it anyway. Anything else would be ridiculous, you have a job to do and you need something from somebody so you ask. This is collaboration 101. Yeah sure, there is

They should really just add a rating system, I dont know anything about etsy but if customers say that they found it on alibaba with a given link then the seller would probably lose all future sales. Sounds like a very easy problem to solve

Seriously, your own homegrown garbage collection inside the js runtime? I looked at React the first time it came out and aside from the insanity of using xml mixed with javascript or some kind of pseudo js, it was waaaay too complex. I dont
