What I find really interesting is that while it appears to me that Katz has very sparse knowledge of databases, he has still managed to create one or two of them, and successfully run a company that sells one. I don't like the thought

Perhaps Android in a VM will replace wine for running unported stuff on a Linux desktop.

I tend to read it as the steps taken in a thought process to try to use quantum entanglement to achieve FTL communication. Personally this is one of my favorite learning methods, since you go through the motions of a discoverer rather than

This is the best layman explanation of quantum entanglement and how it doesn't allow FTL communication I've ever seen!

If we can agree that SPAs are useful for some type of apps, it's definitely the browsers lack of APIs fault that the SPA has no way of telling the browser about these sort of things, yeah.

If browsers had hooks for "the page has now finished loading" (to display a loading indicator while the page loads with XHR etc) and "callback for stop button click" I'm sure lots of SPAs would put them to good use

I think this article is overly negative, some of the cases are not _always_ a disadvantage. Take "fast back" as an example. If your app is interactive and updates live, the "back" page can already be up and running with

You're right. And there's no way around that other than not actually rendering more items than what are visible on the screen. Which is darn difficult on the web due to lack of APIs..

My favorite is when they find an actual fragment of the reactor fuel in nature, and the way she handles it with her bare hands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejZyDvtX85Y And the recent video where she walks around inside

I hope you're right! I've wanted this for the last 5 years and it seems that more and more good solutions are popping up, sandstorm.io being the most prominent to my eyes.

IMO the biggest challenge here is cases that doesn't fit in. What if you want to create or update multiple records in a single operation, for example. There are ways, namely additional batch resources, but structuring that is your prob

Can confirm, anecdotally. I've used REST over ZeroMQ REQ/REP sockets, for example.

No, it's an attribute of time itself, not mechanical clock issues. I _highly_ recommend the book "About Time" http://www.amazon.com/About-Time-Einsteins-Unfinished-Revolu...

FWIW it won't be cross platform, it will be a separate implementation for Android. The goal is the model, not the write once pipe dream.

I don't think that's true. Under the mutable UI trees, 60 times a second the entire UI is rendered from scratch in the OpenGL (or similar) layer. It seems to me it would be possible to completely skip that part by making a new Rea

This is one of the reasons for why I call it a "bastardized radix tree" in the README :) The routes are stored as "nodes". There's a root node. It has a hash map of child nodes, by name. It also has a list of "

A surprising amount of path recognizers are O(n). Paths/routes are a great fit for radix trees, since there's typically repetitions, like /projects, /projects/1, and /projects/1/todos. The performance

In the context of data structures, persistent has a very specific meaning. So it's not really a Clojure-ism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistent_data_structure It's not a synonym for immutable or functio

I'd love to see an editor that let me see the code in the way I preferred (perhaps even as far as rendering Java as Lisp), but wrote the code to disk according to the EditorConfig.

I wouldn't worry. There's more to CS that any one person can know :) I can't play the violin, even though I have a degree in playing the piano.

I'm sure something said that about for loops vs goto some time ago :) Personally (which is important, readability is relative) I find for loops less readable than traditional FP functions like filter, any?, map, etc - I don't have

PGP uses the pubkey to encrypt a randomly generated symmetric key, because it's much faster to asymmetrically decrypt a small key and then symmetrically decrypt the entire message. For multiple recipients, this symmetric key is simply

Not op, but I just use the built-in one. On OS X, press CMD+shift+e and you'll get a overview of tab groups, you can create new groups, etc. I have a "main" group (the default one) and one group per pet project, subject, etc.

Out of curiosity, do you remember how long my blog was down? Linode reports 100% uptime and no monitoring show traces of congestion.
