It definitely doesn't work that way, of course... That was meant to provide a reasonable upper bound for discussion. We know from the provided data that their architecture can compile and serve a page in about 33ms. This includes every

On the other hand, the StackExchange workflow allows for very aggressive content caching - they probably wouldn't be able to maintain the same performances if they needed to generate content on a finer level. edit: a few additional det

Well, the system is kind of over-dimensioned, but this is just good engineering, isn't it? If they are capable of rendering any question page in 33ms, it stands to reason they could use just 3 web servers and still serve content in rou

In my experience, it's very easy to shoot yourself in the foot with Angular, performance-wise. But this is most often due to poor understanding of how the underlying update model works (people abusing deep watches would be a prime exam

Does anybody know what would the performance gain be in this case?

Actually that kind of feedback can be extremely useful to a creator... There might be a demographic worth targeting with "it looks cool, just install it!", but that's surely not HN... Having a page detailing what the product

An Italian accent is not so easy to conceal, though :) I think I've been lucky myself - in 6 years living abroad I was questioned a lot only at the apex of the whole Berlusconi debacle... And even then I think it was more out of curios

Sadly, h-farm does not really play in the same league of even third rate incubators in sv, both from cash and expertise perspective... And it doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon

Since NIPS is a very prestigious conference, I'd expect a lot of submitted papers (perhaps a vast majority of them) would fall in a grey area between "clearly unsuitable" and "clearly suitable". I personally think t

Wait, what? What decent programmer will ever find herself with N slightly different copies of their classes instead of planning ahead or doing some basic refactoring?

Isn't WU a not-so-relevant service that's mostly used by scammers? I'm not from the US, and I've always heard of it in such terms...

The infographics are really nice, but what's with the looming globe? This has to be the most invasive and annoying piece of useless UX I've ever seen... (note that two links in the fixed menu on the left send you to the same targe

Aren't we done yet with the rhetoric of "making the world a better place"/"improving people's lives"? I can't help but think about HBO's Silicon Valley every time I read this kind of thing...

Not sure about the minute, the video is prohibitively long... It's on the 9th slide: https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=http%3a%2f...

Ah, that's the catch, it makes sense now.

Are you saying that it's going to be equivalent to a non-private getter, private setter automatic property as it is now?
87.
by andrea_s 12y ago
That's clear - but that's not the case presented in the slides... "Automatic" is clear, "getter-only" is clear, but "automatic getter-only" leaves me scratching my head.

by andrea_s 12y ago
What's the use case for a getter-only auto property? I can't imagine how that would work, does someone have any insight? edit: is it "same as a public readonly field, but it's a property"?

I'm not sure there's a point in using anything but Google Flights, to be honest... But in my experience hipmunk is among the best in the rest of a very crowded pack.
