Twitter has an agnostic tool called Pants [1]. I run a JVM shop and we are just now using some NodeJS so we are have been trying to figure out that as well. [1]: https://pantsbuild.github.io/dev.html

I don't think they should just throw out homework. I have to imagine there is a huge difference between homework done with a parent helping vs independent study. I bet homework where the parent is involved is successful (at least it wa

I wonder what Linus' favorite editor microemacs/uEmacs uses for data structures. Its actually fairly hard to find the source code (all I could find is some ftp and I admit I was too lazy to fire up ftp and download the code). EDIT

I'm particularly biased as I went to school at GaTech but Atlanta has greatly improved over the last decade or so. It obviously has a completely different social, ethnic and economic diversity than SF does as well as being far far more

Improvement in this case being slower and less movements :) I sometimes can go two days with IF with out visiting the throne. If I eat old body builder style wih lots of fiber (was considered healthy) I end up going a lot and wiping a lot.

No on the weekends I sort of do a refeed to regain leptin and what not so I eat 2 calorie dense meals and follow the 8 hour regimen. During the week I just find I need to start shutting it down earlier or tapering down.. or else. So I do a

My anecdotal experience is that my wife and various other females seem to loose more weight with additional meals earlier in the day. My next observation is that perhaps post fast my wife and others seem binge more often (again just an obse

I have being doing IF now for a 4 months and out of all the various dieting methods I have tried over the years I'm very impressed so far. I only do one meal a day (big lunch around 2pm) and then a protein shake and maybe a beer at 8is

I'm 35 and for the most part like many software engineers relatively well off so I'm probably myopic of the full situation but here is what I have noticed differently among peers 5 to 10 years younger than me (that are often devel

While the amount of seed and early investors nearby I'm sure has a major role in startup culture building I still think Austin is a great city for startups. Not all startups need to raise money... but most startups need smart people an

I tried that before but its still faster in Eclipse by 3/4 of a second (I was wrong about being just the compiler). Its as though Eclipse doesn't fork a new Java process.

I hate to say this but it takes 3 seconds to google this and find it on Stackoverflow. If your on Mac its Ctrl-Alt-H and if your looking for Eclipse find references for intellij its Alt-F7. If your looking for mini outline mode (aka command

The only thing I don't like about IntelliJ vs Eclipse is unit testing. Because Eclipse eagerly compiles everything with its special compiler it seems to have a much faster startup time for unit tests. In fact with Eclipse I use JUnit a

Oh I like tabs as well but many battles have been been fought and tabs is loosing ground in the overall war. Plus there are some fairly good arguments for languages that support variable indentation to not use tabs. So I concede that loss a

There are myriad of reasons (I can't find a comprehensive link) but I will try to list one or two. Some even have mixed feelings since Request/Reply is so ubiquitous and very easy to understand/implement that it makes up for

Yes this is a fundamental problem with queues, message passing, streams or any pseudo push system. You must respect backpressure because if you don't queues blow up and the only way to respect backpressure is to have the consumer reque

The custom part isn't really custom. The custom part is just using RMQ consistently.. clients follow some guideines. Its basically saying we support Cap'n Proto, JSON, and Protobuff for the message body (one day we will pick one b

Message Bus != SOA. What the prior poster is alluding too is the Actor pattern and/or Message passing pattern. My problem with microservices is that your often picking subpar solutions/technologies particularly if low latency is a

I find this pretty hilarious coming from the guy who wrote Hystrix of which was extremely tightly coupled to another library called Archaius of which pulls a gazillion other dependencies (that being said I still highly respect Ben). I had t

Yes I was sort of exaggerating because it is the main complaint that people have of intellij. We too use intellij as well jrebel and these tools pay for themselves fairly quickly.

I have always wanted some editor plugins to help with 2-space code indentation. I just can't understand how some developers think that 2-space indentation is readable. I don't have that many strong feelings on code style with one

Speaking from someone who uses Java everyday and has built a company that mainly uses Java I can tell you the Java tooling is fairly irritating (and I like Java). Java doesn't have really good canonical tools that ship with the JDK nor

That must have been a pain in the butt :) . And for sure your right there are always exceptions. I guess I haven't ran into those issues probably because I run JVMs but I suppose if you have native code or an interpreter using native c

The issue I have with that is the tooling you mention while stable and mature is actively being replaced by cloud tools because you really can't just debug a single machine in production when you have a cluster.. not to mention it is p

I'm curious what you mean by debug. If you mean monitor all of our apps send metrics, health checks, and logs over the wire I'm sure that is independent. What would docker allow you over the unikernel especially given the best pra

I really hope unikernels take off because I really hate dealing with both (particularly docker more so than systemd).
