   Reporting benchmark results on a single OS, on a single CPU type isn't really benchmarking. It's an isolated case of results. I'd recommend to perform an accurate suite of performance tests, use different OS (CoreOS, Ubuntu)

   The server doesn't need to use a JVM. You can use whatever language you want and expose it via a REST API with some JSON. Typically folks go to JVM when scalability is a problem.

   I wouldn't assume so. FB has a reputation for being more forward with users data as being public and privacy not being so hot.

   Here are my thoughts with limited knowledge of your situation. As employee #2, you are a technical co-founder, period. The problems you have outlined will not be solved be staying at the current company. It's apparent that the owner h

   Thank you to both Wikipedia and Facebook for being transparent and sharing this back to the open source community. It's these type of joint efforts that really move the web forward. Hats off.

   Get rid of the end vertical and make it launch you into a foam pit. I can see some "midnight" modifications for a 1.1 release.

    Could someone clarify why you'd want to have a JavaScript engine in your C/C++ Project? Is the idea if you have a desktop app executable wrapper and you could include this engine to start building desktop apps in JavaScript? I don

    A singular OS that acts on well defined abstractions and interfaces making the number of resources the massive machine uses transparent. Software won't be the only thing changing to support this shift in large scale computing but hardw

    I wonder what this feat ended up costing in comparison to Felix or those who scale Everest? I have a feeling it was far far less. I wonder when he'll start working on his first space capsule/micro ship next :)

    Why is it that first world countries have the most unaccountable political systems ever seen? Even here in Canada, Rob Ford anyone? Here too in Canada we've banned Zenn, a Canadian electric car company - http://en.wikipedia.

    Meh, we need AI to understand API interfaces automatically and can communicate together seamlessly, without any hard coding. That's when device to device integration gets REALLY interesting. Wait, isn't this just bluetooth + web?

    Consider Hack Lang http://hacklang.org/ . Perhaps it’s PHP’s brightest light. FB has put considerable effort to fork PHP and developer their own language + interpreter for good reason. Change is likely too slow or wouldn’t b

    1. How does Watson know to share only public data and not confidential data if it comes across it? How does it gather data? 2. Does it cache answers or does it try to "learn" and modify/improve the response each time?

    Python is also the most failure prone. " By contrast, the scripting languages tend to be the most failure prone of the lot; Python,in particular, is significantly more failure prone than every other language"

    I feel that the point the author is making is that this is hurting Django's growth. I'm afraid I agree with that notion. Personally I've looked at Django compared to other frameworks and ,for me at least, spending time skinni

    This seems interesting because it feels like I can gain more control over the desktop which previously I felt limited to by Bash or Python. Being a web dev I never wanted to get into Obj. C or Swift so this seems like it's opening some

    Can rust be used to power http endpoints like a REST API? Or is it more designed to be system type daemon stuff? I guess I don't fully understand the marketing of it, however I haven't ever written anything in C or C++ either.
