The problem is that a static easily tooled language is not going to be as good as the dynamic un-toolable one without massive tooling support specifically for that language's features. Creating those tools is not the job of a lone deve

Honestly if you're going to take a step back and consider those things, why not also consider that we already have so many programming languages that it's almost impossible to get to a deep level of understanding of all of them. O

I can't work out why you're being downvoted. Kneejerk reaction for anything that is critical of Haskell maybe? Unfortunately that does seem to be very common on HN. Ben Lippmeier makes a very good point and is being quoted in full

Technically if it was about shifting asset values and hot-spots, then it would have the equivalent decrease in asset values of assets not in those hot spots. Eg, increase in Manhattan apartments and a decrease in mid-western farms. That wou

Hey HN! Just a friendly reminder that there a lot of people who agree with you. Don't take the downvotes when you post anti-Microsoft stuff as any kind of fact and keep posting your true opinions! Microsoft really does continue to abus

Shouldn't this be 'Javascript UUIDs generally do not meet security requirements' ? As he mentions in his story, the server was actually using Java UUIDs which are cryptographically secure. So 'UUIDs generally do not meet

Isn't this whole article completely specific to the Google App Engine use case? Google App Engine loads all of your static files onto shared servers in use by many other users and builds up some kind of lookup table to access requests.

I don't think the author is saying 'Microsoft is bad - everyone swap to Google and Apple!'. This is from GNU. The author is saying Microsoft is bad, and since most of these points probably apply to Apple and Google too, the a

It's all true and yet not true at the same time. Each item on the list has valid business requirements and is needed. For example, the backdoors are required by government, and Microsoft is not above the government and cannot really re

They can read and write memory (to access textures), do math (to calculate output colors), and can jump (necessary for bounds checks, etc). That's pretty much the definition of a Von Neumann program: program variables ↔ computer st

Not exactly - three years ago the shipping demand hit an all time high. Large container companies began building new never-before-seen super cargo ships which can carry an enormous amount of cargo. These ships rolled out of the production l

Is there really much demand for that? If you want an EV cert you're going to be a big business with a lot of employees just to handle that kind of stuff. 2 days really isn't that long - getting internal signoff on the idea of usin

You'd probably be wrong about that. Even today in most of these places, a captive animal that dies is just 'sick' and disposed of. Or often sold off as food if the death symptoms aren't obviously apparent, as would be th

Not sure what your point is. That there's some argument about performance? There is no way that Golang can keep compete with performance of straight C code.

Agreed, but: Animal customer = new Cat(); It makes it clear how the new object will be used. It does come up quite frequently, especially with Collection and List. Nobody was saying it is not verbose and can lead to boilerplate. The

I think jbooth is talking more about forced verbosity such as Map<String, Customer> customerMap = createCustomerMap(); where in other less verbose languages you find val customerMap = createCustomerMap(); Always seeing t

In the same way some people pick C++ over Lisp, some would choose Java over Clojure for similar reasons. It's not some kind of war or personal affront to you - some people simply prefer the Algol style to the Lisp one. This even includ

That's kind of an interesting one: consider two configuration languages. The first is not turing complete and can be considered a good language. The second is an identical copy of the first, but includes the ability to have recursive d

Vert.x ( http://vertx.io/ ) is an interesting point in this discussion that was released after the paper was written. It uses the async reactor pattern, but allows multiple reactors to run - 1 per CPU core. It also handles

Websockets can be RESTful too. I've seen the following: GET /orders - fetch all orders GET /orders Upgrade: websocket - streaming view of all new orders The problem with this type of RESTful integration though is the
