Two observations. First, great how do we debug it? How can we see our signals between each step? How about beyond simple print/logging? And two, I like his contrast between async vs synchronous flows, and recognizing synchronous style pr

"Another reason why Android is losing on the developer front is that development environment setup and usage, even for Java, is worse than Apple's. It's usage of Eclipse is like duct tape and glue." I think this is mere perception vs realit

Well not exactly the same. While you may be able to determine some basic relative positioning information just from looking at the picture, it's not the same as having the actual GPS coordinates. While you could do some perspective math p

So I guess this works best because most of us can't understand the lyrics so if we did this with an english song or any song the native listener understands you might end up with nonsense lyrics. It doesn't sound like it's jump around maki

Well you made a great original comment, but unfortunately, some of the replies want to politicize your observation trying to assign a "side" to it. It's a very social sciences observation so it's hard to prove and for some probably even ac

I'm not saying these last 40 years haven't had merit. The recession of 1982 probably was probably the symbol that put the nail in the collective view to problem solving. When Reagan turned that recession around i think the country started

In many ways this article is just pining for other big hard made up problem for us to solve. Apollo was and is still a huge achievement, but it sure wasn't a practical solution to any real problem we faced. As much as you can say how amaz

I find this very insightful so we're talking about a modern day tower of babel. But, instead of a destruction of a common language it's a destruction of a common set of values. We stopped believing in government due to a difference in va

Hey it's very stylistic which means it's of limited use in general, but I could see it being used in certain situations. I think what makes it impractical is how tall the menus are in the demo. If the menus were smaller then the fold out,

Remember they all made their fortunes pre-1913 so those monies weren't subject to taxes when they earned them. They lived well past 1913, but by then they were giving most of it away. Post 1913 they paid income tax on the money they earne

I was going to retort to your statement about changing failure rates saying that's not side of the equation we're talking about. If we take this as the number of startups we create as: numberOfSuccessfulStartups = startupAttempts * su

Great Scott! It's just crazy enough it might just work! I've always felt that America's psyche is evolving us to a "Everybody's a CEO." mentality. With the introduction of 401K we upped the risk taking, driving white collar workers into c

For a hot minute this post was right above this post. http://doctrina.org/Javascript-Function-Invocation-Patterns.... Had to giggle a little over this silly discussion of FP and are there design patterns or not. A strategy is the same in

Does "You are only as strong as your weakest chain" mean anything here? It seems like the letter of the law here is not expressing the intent of the law. Sure, Part 3 didn't explicitly mention don't store it on a client machine because it

Or maybe you just don't frequent ATMs a lot. I've definitely seen OS/2 Warp reboot screens on ATMs in the US.

Well it might not be your government that institutes this idea. Given this is a bank in the UK you or I might not be allowed to vote on this type of thing, but if general populous begins to see the choice of technical decisions are more in

These hacks better be glad this industry isn't regulated like other professions where the individual professional is liable for his work. If these developers were doctors or engineers they personally would be liable for damages. Right now

It's an article about a socialist democrat from a liberal leaning publication and how a smear campaign of EPIC proportions was created to thwart his chances. Weird Right!? </puns> How did Fox news miss this one too?! </sarca

Yea I got over that. Shit happens. Don't sweat the small stuff, yada yada yada. Besides when you fix it everyone lights up. It's the closest thing I've seen to a performer doing some amazing stunt with me being the amazing person. Focu

Problem with that is technology typically can't be both cheaper and yield the same performance. It can be cheaper but yield less performance or more expensive with higher performance. The more expensive technology typically is a sustaining

As we move away from coal burning the price will fall, but coal producers within the US will simply export the cheaper fuel to countries like India and China. Unfortunately, the overall picture hasn't changed because the coal that was bein

But I felt like the authors of this game realized how predatory most IAP are and while they didn't specifically say its disgustingly exploitive to children they did say they were trying to design a game that wasn't exploitive. After readin

This is a little out of date information. Dictionary attacks and publicly accessible Rainbow tables have existed for quite some time (late 90s probably). Salting your passwords was an important way to break rainbow tables, but doesn't pre

I hope they are successful, but I think the work Robert Bussard's work sounds more promising. The reason Fusion hasn't work to produce net energy is inherent to the tokamak design. You spend too much energy charging up the magnets to keep

Dude it's just a pep talk we tell each other to focus us on executing over psyching ourselves out with over thinking, over strategizing, and noise of others telling us its stupid. Kinda like you're doing now. Apparently you'll need a new
