Yeah, and what happens when it introduces a weird bug?

Knowing how to host a repo considered basic http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2675464 (I can riff off of Dijkstra too!)

Gitolite/Gitosis/Gitweb and/or ssh access. I could do it in ~5 minutes. I could hack up an MVP of the features that Github has that I care about in maybe a weekend. That said, I do use and love Github, but I use it for the network effects

You have to be a hacker to know how to host a repo now?

Cassandra is highly tuneable in terms of consistency and propagation, the vagaries of Facebook's particular(ly huge) deployment I can't speak to, but generally speaking you can make it have almost any properties you like. MongoDB lacks that

Poorly, unless you really like facebook apps.

This. Also I appreciate you picking up where I left off, I've been making a major lifestyle change and am almost completely sapped of energy. This has improved my concision considerably wrt code and conversation. Cheers, let me know if you

That's not their backend, it's just servicing a front-end feature.

>Using the same language at both the client and server end has some serious benefits. The functionality implemented is mutually exclusive. This canard needs to die.

I've been saying this about Erlang and Node for awhile, and I don't know anybody who knows both Erlang and JS that takes Node seriously.

Care to elaborate on your dislike of Cassandra?

Substantive exchange of knowledge especially that which is based on experience is the most favored kind of post here. Satire, at least of the internet variety, rarely has anything to contribute except in the form of noise. I'm not a pedant,

Space leaks. Also, unpredictable program behavior (which nearly destroys its usefulness in embedded beyond what perhaps Galois has been doing).

Too bad they made lazy the default.

It doesn't compare to rails migrations. The lack of integration is crippling as well.

I do Python and used to do a fair bit of Django work. Melvin's reasons are pretty on the dot. Migrations are one advantage Rails has over Django. They're otherwise pretty similar. (South doesn't count.) I wouldn't say that any language dumb

Westerners who've never lived there and wouldn't be in any danger of suffering any of this "harsh" treatment love to complain about Singapore. Visit sometime with an open mind.

I agree.

Communicate in way that will convey the meaning you desire to others. Everything else is self-indulgence and solipsism. It's your responsibility to make yourself understood, not ours.

by alnayyir 15y ago
Just make your point and stand by it, don't say it unless you mean it.

For who? I don't think anybody who actually writes code is going to be confused by += No need to race to the bottom any faster guys.

That would be why it went that well. Try the Bronx where they never came to help me after 4 hours of waiting. Oakland is more similar to the Bronx in policing than it is the rest of the bay area.

Visually appealing is relative, if you like the way TextMate et al looks and value that sort of thing, Emacs isn't for you anyway.
