Are customers going to receive any kind of future credit because of this? Would be a nice band-aid after such a hard smack on the head.

Vue.js reminds me of Knockout.js. Is there any significant difference between the two?

Seemed like a little bit of a puff piece. Would have liked to hear questions like "Is Quora a competitor?" or about the recent claims that Stack Overflow was going downhill.

I recently started using Timetrap ( https://github.com/samg/timetrap ) and find fantastic. Covers a lot of corner cases while still being incredibly simple to use.

I don't have any experience with Azure. Are prices competitive with AWS?

From a practical point of view, I'd agree with others: you're only missing a checked box on your resume. From a non-practical point of view, you're missing out on the pure joy of writing Ruby. Everyone should try it at least

If I'm an experienced Python developer who develops a lot of websites and APIs using Django or Flask and SQLAlchemy, is there any reason to try this stuff? C# is a great language, but what about the libraries? What replaces Flask? What

Sounds like inet.d, or CGI behind a webserver.

Crystal looks interesting, but is it usable in production? Any examples of people using it?

Yes, that would be nice, but as lazy programmers we skip some error checks for a reason: sometimes the error is highly unlikely. As such, it might not be worth the cost of writing a bunch of error checking code which costs keystrokes and li

This is my biggest gripe with Go as well. Though initially the diligent programmer will check each and every call with if err != nil {}, there comes a time when laziness kicks in. When that time comes, you'll get hit with unexpected be

And here I was hoping to see links to published papers or God forbid the release of datasets for fellow researchers... Heck, even a trained model would be nice. Seems like a PR stunt to attract talent.

It was just a cheap jab at Windows, cuz everybody likes to slam Windows! Agreed, Windows dominates gaming market. My interest is in machine learning, so I would like to see decent Linux drivers and more work on the OpenCL environment.

by atrudeau 10y ago
If AMD released decent Linux drivers I might consider it over an Nvidia card, but as things stand now they're useless in a Linux box, and useless in a Windows box (but that's just because it's windows)

I would be interested if I could 1) host this myself. Something like apt-get install hyperdev. 2) have an integrated SQL database in the runtime. Concept of migrations should be known by the runtime. 3) have a one click deploy option that

Here's an academic paper that investigates this approach (screenshots towards the end), along with end-user experiments: https://www.lume.ufrgs.br/bitstream/handle/10183/101186/0009...

That's exactly why I made the comment. I like what I'm seeing, not just here, but on a lot of fronts by MS. But I'm always a little reluctant to trust.

IE has the cheating husband problem. He says he'll never do it again, buys you nice things, hell, is even nice to your mother, but in the back of your mind there's always that latent fear that he'll cheat on you again.

Is there any way to port Atom to run in the browser through a webserver? My work flow is autossh + tmux + Vim so that I can work from any computer on my server. If Atom had something similar I'd be interested.

Correct. Google seems to agree: "AlphaGo has the ability to look “globally” across a board—and find solutions that humans either have been trained not to play or would not consider." [1] [1] https://googleblog.blogspot.
