C# is Microsoft's Java. How many Python, Go, Ruby or Haskell projects have you audited at "big companies"?

Prolog is really interesting. There's also https://github.com/mcsoto/cosmos which transpiles to Prolog, I believe. It looks like the latter isn't actively worked on, unfortunately.

Las Vegas as a city wasn't really feasible until after the completion of the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead in 1936 about 30 miles away. You can't have a city without water.

One of the hats I wear is "DevOps"/"SRE" (among other things). To me the JVM is another big layer of complexity between the code and the hardware it runs on that makes debugging and performance analysis that much mo

That phenomenon is not limited to women. Corporate software engineering is a pretty dead-end occupation. You hit an income and title plateau quickly, and--especially in the startup world--ageism starts to kick in after that.

Presumably the shebang at the start of your script would cause it to be executed by bash directly.

This is great. When dealing with bash stupid-isms I've always thought it would be awesome to have a shell with Python syntax. The tough part is figuring out how to combine Python with "normal" shell commands in a clean, intui

Go on the JVM completely defeats one of the biggest Go selling points for me: compilation to native code. Debuggers are definitely a weak spot, though, I agree. Luckily it's being worked on ( https://github.com/derekpar

Only if you make a habit of using reflection (you shouldn't). Otherwise it's designated driver all the way.

I believe MS wants you to use remote Powershell instead of SSH.

This is great. I've always thought that the reaction to Fukushima should not have been "get rid of nuclear power generation because it's too dangerous", but rather: "using a handful of giant reactors is too dangerou

I don't know if it was intentional, but this comes off as an incredibly arrogant comment.

If your technically astute hire spent too much time on HN or Reddit, it sounds to me like you failed to engage her with interesting work.

Great idea and looks like a good implementation. Are there native hashmaps and arrays? Those are things I like from Powershell.

The life of relative comfort of the average HNer (engineer, likely six figure income, little fear of unemployment) is basically what the middle class was 40-50 years ago (adjusted for inflation, etc). This level of material security used to

That's hardly worth the cost of drawing up the investment paperwork. You'd need to pool with nine friends to even make a meaningful seed round.

The language is pretty polarizing--you either "get" and appreciate the design decisions or you find them limiting and archaic.

In theory it's also true of ASP.NET. You have a magic folder of CLR-compiled binaries you drop into the IIS site root folder and it "just works" (or doesn't, as the case may be).

I agree with the extreme risk-taking part 100%. VCs (and that's a bit of a misnomer, since real Venture Capital funds typically don't get involved until the $100MM level or so) don't care about your business in particular,

It's likely that you already know how Hello World works in at least one other language. By showing you it in the new language, Hello World allows you to start mapping concepts across those domains (ie, how to print characters to the co

One of the problems is the constant mantra: "crypto is hard--leave it to the experts", discouraging new tools from being written. Crypto is hard but there's a big community out there to help with auditing the codebase and fix

You really don't want anything like Windows services. The nice thing about Unix "services" is that they are just regular processes that happen to be started at boot (and know enough to daemonize themselves, typically). Wind

NYC has a strong history of rent regulations. It's part of the reason it's so absurdly difficult to find housing.

"If rent reflected current building sale trends in my neighborhood, my rent would be increasing >60% year over year." OK, sure that would suck for you, but it's what the market is doing. Artificial price ceilings restrict

If there was no rent control/stabilization artificially limiting housing supply, AirBNB would not be an issue. A big part of the "problem" is simple arbitrage between very cheap subsidized rents and prices the tourist market

I don't know anything about this project, but Redis is not a message queueing system. It kind of baffles me why people insist on using it as such when there are plenty of systems out there designed with real pub/sub delivery seman
