There are about 150 good computer schools in the US producing 400 employable graduates on average in the tech industry, total of 60000 engineers. 60000+ H1Bs come every year. H1B is a necessity because the need is too high. H1B is not repla

The concept is definitely nice.

I read a little more, you are right. There is definitely niceness but time will tell if all package maintainers will move to nix. IF they do, it will be great that dev mode and deploy mode can be all nix. Until then, not sure why I would us

The easy way to understand nix is : "A package manager that can compile all packages from source", this functional mumbo-jumbo is just confusing. If apt could compile all its packages from source with an option to do so and a cach

well in that case, the easy way to understand nix is : "A new linux variant and package manager that can compile all packages from source". Why confuse users it has anything to do with dev environments. If your initial product is

My point was that for every update, nixpkgs will have to be fixed if the build steps were changed. Currently, it is done by the actual software maintainers. Unless they all start building nixpkgs, it will be too much work to maintain.

but new versions may need new steps to build?

So it does plan to replace all up streams eventually including apt, npm, pypi, gem etc by providing the ability to build and configure all software? I am not understanding this, currently the original maintainers release on their own stores

Would nix guarantee that all upstreams are available forever? Is nix planning to replace all upstreams? (PyPI, Conda, npm etc?) OR does it plan to keep a cache forever?

Sure, but if you develop C++ code on mac, you cannot debug locally using the same compiler that you will deploy upon. Maybe JVM , node etc for purely UI programming may work on Mac because they have support for it, but why depend on the too

‘Node’ on dev may run differently than node on production depending on version of dependencies , for eg a shared object file it loads.

I would totally want to deploy on the prod environment. If the tools have their symbols resolved properly, they should run on any reasonable environment. The other way around that we build a dev environment that is different from prod just

by airocker 4y ago
I think it is an overkill to have your dev environment different from your deploy environments. This would mean you maintain dev environments separately than deploy environments. It would mean you are debugging something other than you are

As much as I love this idea, Most systems I have seen don’t even have incremental compile setup properly. Any change triggers so many changes to compile that link and restart are the small part of it. Plus you may want to rerun the tests an

Also, how so ever it is calculated by the market, is not that the value of the company right now and back then? I mean if Microsoft were some commodity, that’s what you would need to buy it outright.

True , Microsoft p by e is 25 so twenty years should be a good approximate? Or how much would be appropriate?

Would love to know how it is different

i tried it a few months ago. I found it hard to use the generated libraries. But maybe I overlooked something. I will retry.

Swagger has the ability to turn api definition to libraries in any language. It is too verbose

Hi , I tried to build cli from swagger, it was a disaster: very verbose and did not really work. I am wondering what’s the verbosity of your tool. How do you deal with imperfect specs?

Do you ever see a case when there are so many services with so many dependencies that personal deployments are too costly or unweildy?

by airocker 4y ago
Or minikube. But would it work for large products with possibly 1000 services? I have never worked on those but would like to know if there are products where one cluster per developer is too costly and unweildy. OR Is there a case for prod
