The coldest city in Europe is Helsinki. According to Wikipedia, the average high is 9 C and the average low is 2.9 C. For Whittier, the average high is 7.3 C and the low is 1.7 C. Can you give some examples of these many European cities tha

I'm saying that's it's not harder. Thus his statement is false.

Sorry if I was unclear. I was just using Linux as an example. The product I work on has plenty of users. I don't agree that it's orders of magnitude more difficult but that's beside the point.

In my eight years' remote working experience, your statement is false.

Harder problems than the Linux kernel? I've been remote for eight years now and I work on a codebase so huge that no one person understands it all beneath the 10,000 foot level. Nearly all of us are remote (only the managers are "

You're comparing an operating system to a language specification. Not sure I see what you're getting at here.

As much as I like Rust, it is in its infancy and it will be years before it gains similar traction, if it ever does. The other languages you mentioned are not in the same category (garbage collection alone excludes them).

I too worked with C++ for years but I haven't for some time. I plan to learn the C++11 stuff and get back up to speed because I hate the feeling of falling behind in a language that really has no competition in the niche it fills. Here

Ecstacy is not considered to be a classic psychedelic and does not fall under the category discussed in the article. Too bad for your cousin's friend but it's not a valid counterargument.

If it's any consolation (probably not), per capita fewer people are dying due to warfare than at any time in human history. To further reduce conflict and death, consider the fact that no democratic nation has ever attacked another.

Does Plan 9 meet your requirements for a "true multi-tenant OS"? If not, I'd be interested in hearing your ideas about how such a system might be implemented and how it would look to end users.

I'm in a 70,000+ person company ("enterprise") and we use most of the things in your list. My direct experience does not match your assumptions. And this is a company that is not considered leading-edge in softwawre developme

I worked on a large Java application at LinkedIn so in my experience, LinkedIn is certainly not Scala-only.

Agreed. And don't be afraid to hire people in their 40s who might not fit in visually but nevertheless have vast experience building stuff that actually ships. And don't be afraid to hire remotely. You don't even have to go o

Have a look at the Jackson library. There are many others.

It has the syntax of a dynamic language, type inference, interfaces with C easily and compiles to native code. Is there a long list of languages with those features that I'm unaware of? Nimrod springs to mind.

"Canadian bacon", as you call it, is back bacon, same as the UK. In the US, it's often salted and cured kind of like a packaged deli meat or something and it's pretty awful and bears little resemblance to the genuine art

There is a big difference between persecuted Jewish intellectuals and corrupt Chinese officials. I'm generalising obviously but hopefully you see my point. I understand that unless you live in an area that is undergoing this demographi

Reminds me of the classic David Beazley course on coroutines: http://www.dabeaz.com/coroutines/ It highlights a similar pipeline-oriented architecture and eventually ends up being sort of mindblowing.

No, Cisco's NX-OS, which runs on Nexus-series ethernet switches and MDS-series SANs, is based on MontaVista Linux. These are not niche products.

Agreed. The Spring support helps a lot though. But there's no question that OSGi is one of the final big xml holdouts in Java-land.

In Java-land, OSGi was invented to solve this very problem. Every module has its own classloader so module A can load C 1.0 and module B can load C 1.1. Modules are registered and other modules can look them up in the registry and call them
