I think most "noisy neighbor" complaints actually come from the noisy neighbors. EC2 lets you use CPU resources of your neighbors if they aren't using them. So people hammer the machine and expect that level of performance,

I have no problem with the word cloud. I have a problem with it being used to mean "anything I call cloud". If we are going to use the term and assign it a meaning, then lets assign it a meaning instead of using it for everythin

I just realized one of the reasons I like OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD, but not FreeBSD and NetBSD from that graph. Those nice straight lines with no branching.

ADTs are algebraic data types. They are quite simple, and have nothing to do with the IO type which haskell uses to constrain side effects. An ADT is just a type made up of ORs and ANDs: data Bool = False | True data Tree a = Le

No, you interpreted it as condescending. Just because I enjoy unbridled optimism does not mean I am condescending. You are suggesting that you are infallible, as the "dead simple errors" you refer to get out into production syste

>You can't say that Erik Meijer doesn't know Haskell That's true. But I can say that he is quite happy to tailor his message to his audience, If you listen to what he is saying, he is making the argument for haskell.

>OCAML is cool but too academic to be approachable. Can you give an example of what you mean? I used ocaml for a few years, and never encountered anything I would consider academic at all, much less unapproachable.

I had the opposite experience. I went into scala very optimistic, and initially would have rated it 4 star to stick with your rating approach. But after a month it was down to 3, then another month it was down to 2 and we were investigati

People think I am pining for go too, for similar reasons. Yet I tried very hard to like go, and was unable to put up with such a primitive language just for the nice tooling. Not everything is a "you just need to use go" in disg

What an odd response. I haven't done any OO programming in nearly a decade, and I would not consider doing it ever again. I don't know where you got the idea that OO has anything to do with this. I do catch these sorts of err

I'm not them, but I have no scripting language in my list either. There is simply no need for one. For small sysadmin scripting, sh is nicer than a scripting language. For anything bigger than ~50 lines, I use haskell.

Can you get them to make that explicit in their documentation? I can't get the higher ups to approve it without something official.

Why is this an either/or question? Do you prefer native or html for PC apps? It depends on the app, I prefer whichever is appropriate for the application in question. This is just as true with a pocket sized computer as it is with a

Does anyone know if gandi uses ECC in their servers? This is possibly my biggest problem with the VPS fad, nobody will give you a straight answer about whether or not you can actually rely on them to not silently corrupt data.

And also a way for me to have wasted money left over when I stop using the service and can't use up all my credits.

Yes, it is the only reason I don't use them for hosting, even though I've had my domains with them for over a decade. For a company with a motto of "no bullshit", it is really disappointing. Sketchy credit nonsense is

That is a perfect example, I think focusing so heavily on trying to target C++ users has limited D's success. That also gets me thinking about how the other big problem with D is actually a similar issue. Keeping the compiler closed
