fibers are lightweight threads, employing a sort of non-preemptive multitasking paradigm. it basically spawns a 'thread' that will be resumed only when the callback has returned, which returns the data passed to the callback. the

stuff you need to pay for? There is surely a case for including some production logging in rails as default?

could you just change the number of questions to scale with the number of attempts? ie. if there are more than 3 attempts at answering a question, then ask 2 questions.

I think tesla motors releasing an affordable car would benefit the world a lot more than the hyperloop. But it's nice that he is presenting the idea so the world can do their own analysis and even implement it before he has the chance

The article is just wrong. > And it’s no wonder. Until Rails 4, the core framework didn’t even support concurrent request handling. And even in Rails 4, concurrent request handling is multiplexed on a single CPU core, leaving Rails unabl

> Chaos is the Android philosophy, and absolute order is the Apple one. Heard of entropy? So basically you're saying that android is tending towards dissipating any useful energy.

With products where you pay for them in advance, you are the customer. So the companies making money off you tend to try and please you. In apple's case, sometimes they make decisions for the good of the user base, and those can anno

Have you used windows 8? I love developing in ubuntu, but ubuntu and windows seem to have gone crazy with their user interfaces lately. Ubuntu switched to unity, an interface designed for netbooks. Who has a netbook these days? And wants

+1 I think sometimes people confuse interoperability with some sort of codebase merge. It makes sense for each release of osx and ios to be more interoperable, and even take lessons learned from one back to the other. It doesn't make

I use ubuntu at work and osx at home. Ubuntu used to be amazing, and I still think it's good open source development platform, but the amount of time I've spent fixing drivers or fighting with unity has meant that it has cost me a lot more

I totally agree, and if people think something is better because it's shorter, they are missing the point. But if all other things are equal (and they rarely are), I think shorter is better.

by anko 14y ago
Maybe. I think it's a difficult point to argue either way. It's a power vs discipline thing; with great power comes great responsibility. Some people prefer to be prevented from doing stupid things, and some people prefer the power. I nor

smart navigation is very different. Besides not being supported across browsers, it was more like automatic anchoring.

If you spend your day typing the same stuff for a simple program, or you need an IDE to be happy, that is a language failing in my opinion. The less bloated the core syntax is, the clearer your ideas are which makes your code easier to read
227.

I always put python and ruby on par, too. I think there are various language features that attract you to one or the other. I find ruby an incredible fit to the way I like to be creative. I find that the ruby community tends to be fairly

I kinda agree (about the free part), but I just wanted to say that if you are parsing sql strings you really should get an ORM. Plug in a well tested, optimised library and never think about parsing sql strings again. It also makes things

I am really interested in this argument, because I am currently converting a mysql based web search to use apache solr. I have been thinking about all the arguments about pagination a lot. The thing I don't know about, though, is the "data

It's like what MS Access did to databases years ago. People still need databases, it's just the low hanging fruit is covered (poorly) by Access, and then after the badly designer database has been in production for a few years and grown, s

I think you're right in that some people can do both. But how good the product is, well, depends a lot on the problem at hand. I spent 8 years at uni doing both visual arts and IT, majoring in programming. I've spent most of my profession

by anko 14y ago
I like to embrace people for what they bring. Sometimes the best art isn't easy to consume. The community is like a boiling pot. Sure, handle it the wrong way and you might get turned off, but there is a lot of energy there. Drama happens

That would slow innovation to a standstill.. After you invent something, you couldn't use it for 5 years. Everyone would be even more secretive and it would favour big companies who could afford to 1) sit on ideas for 5 years 2) register a

in closing, he said; "I close by asking this: If Apple products are so innovative, why doesn't Apple compete rather than litigate?" I believe (and I'm not a lawyer) that you need to actively enforce your design patents or they expire. That

The interactive REPL looks fantastic. It's one of the things I love about developing in ruby - you can try things without going through the compile or even save/execute process. There is a lot to be said for a short/instant feedback loop.

with the stderred LD_PRELOAD alias this works for me: stderred python -c 'import os; print "Yo!"; os.write(2, "Jola\n\r")' but this doesn't; stderred ruby -e 'puts "Yo!";STDERR.write "Jola\n\r"' if i do an strace the writes are going to the

I think this is a marvellous idea. I would love to see a meta stream, that allows you to mark up semantics of stdout/stderr. How would you go about creating a new standard stream?

this reminds me of superflyDOM: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/SuperFlyDOM/createAppend#elem... I saw it used in a project once and it was a disaster. The problem being, by using javascript to represent html you are making your templates
