C++ developers don't make their own event loop. They use epoll which is provided by the kernel. That is still the area the C/C++ ( and Rust ) have over Go, they can use syscalls without requiring the goodwill of one of the languag

Having never used this specific product I can't makes claims about any of its functionality, but what I have found is the gap between what one _can_ do, and what people _do_ is very very large. Yeah you can implement all this yourself

That I can agree with. I don't often ride long distance rail because even on the Northeast line which is I think the line with the highest ridership you often have to stop for freight trains and other trains.

If you look at Washington DC's metro its pretty much the same QoS as you get off the Berlin metro. So I am not quite sure how its considered "primitive" Berlin - 4 - 5 minute trains DC - 6 minute trains Berlin - 9 lines, 170

What a waste. I am amazed that you can take the attitude of "All new things are broken" and be involved in the creation of anything new at all. To me you need to have one of two outlooks on life to hold that viewpoint. Either you

I am curious as to why. The underlying systems have only gotten more reliable and faster then they were 10-15 years ago. 10-15 years ago writing to disk was actually _more_ of a challenge then it is now with SSD's that have zero seek t

Except it wasn't mongodb that did that. People had the same knock against MySQL with MyISAM.

Awesome news. I have used Rethink for a few internal projects and while I don't think it has that one "killer feature" that other DB's don't it is such a painless experience in development and deployment that makes

efficiency is such a tricky subject. What is an efficient system, take for instance engines, some might say a very complex engine that gets the best output per unit input is very "efficient" however others would claim a simple two

So I haven't looked into all the metrics that they are getting off of PCP but from an initial glance it doesn't look like they are getting a lot more information then you get off net-snmp. In this one case the windows platform isn

Finally. I had been holding off on implementing things in rust because of the time spent getting libraries up to date with the nightlies. This is huge for the rust ecosystem

I think the arduino brand will die out and I am kinda happy. Those chips are way underpowered for their price and with the rest of the embedded space really moving towards tiny arm cores and general purpose computers I think the market for

Yes. When implemented correctly Mongo can scale very well.

This article is incorrect from beginning to end. As a simple counterpoint to this idea that "I have never once heard a firm talk about the idiots lurking in their own offices" Here is the well documented _policy_ held by major (no

I would be more impressed by this if I thought academic success was any indicator of aptitude. As a hiring manager I have completely stopped looking at things like GPA and in some cases even if you have a degree, they are such poor indicato

This may come as a surprise to some, but there are lots of people who don't think Indian food is delicious. I would be really interested if scientists have distilled something as subjective as your pallet and refined it to a formula.

So is that the total list ? Is it possible that there is a company valued over 1b that they could have missed. I am seeing lots tech companies, but not much non tech companies.

I am going to be happy when I can program in rust and not spend the first hour making all my code work with the latest compiler changes. I really do like what rust is offering, but tracking head has been difficult

I think it turned out fairly well for them. MySQL is pretty much the go to DBMS for many successful companies, and it and its little sister Maria command something like 75% of the OpenSource Database market. When Google, Facebook, Twitter,

Thats a seriously loaded question. The problem is the US is a really big place so in city's and their metro areas you get world class speeds ( 150Mbs is pretty common ) however in rural areas your stuck with maybe DSL and if not that t

I understand the desire to regulate the internet as a utility, but are they going to actually regulate it like a utility or are they going to call it a common carrier and then just make up a few BS rules that need to be followed. I have a s

I am not saying don't educate yourself. I am saying don't self medicate, which is what this site is encouraging ( wither it means to or not ). For every story you have about a bad experience with a doctor or vet, any medical profe

I don't want to be a downer, but I don't like this concept. I understand the desire to educate yourself about the medicine you need for your pet, but the best thing you can do is find a good vet that you trust to give you this adv

I know how you feel, there are many great engineers out there in the same situation. I think you might be turning the corner to be a founder. You know what needs to be done to scale a company to success the question is can you do it for you

You raise a good point in my defense. When Toyota introduce 6-Sigma the benefits were so great that companies began moving to that methodology en masse. Private offices and offices with more privacy exist and people are moving _away_ from t

I think googles own Eric Schmidt had the best response to this. If open office's were bad for buisness or destroying the workspace the free market would bear that out. There are tangable benefits which is why companies move towards it.
