I would never claim it was a good program, but this is actually much more common at your big companies then people would like to think. I know the Government does this in both the military and civilian workforce. Most government contracts I

I think a better title would be make working with XML feel like native dictionaries, There are many ways for interacting with JSON dictionaries are only one of them. For example you can do XPath style interaction with JSON in python which f

Actually Ian, Scala has all the things you mention ( It isn't as nice for direct memory manipulation as C, but you can do it ). Not that everything in that list is important or necessary, It kind of like saying you can't get a car

Of all the upcoming languages out there. I think rust is best positioned. The fact that it is really the only contender that can preform the same role as C, but it folds in lots of the language design theory of the past three decades puts i

When you consider the lambdas are really just sugar around chaining together some of the method primitives you don't _really_ have a second class citizen. I mean different languages give you different features so you _choose_ to work i

You have something wrong there. I just ranthe test suite I ship with my java driver against and I am able to do 2048 documents in about a second. Most of that time is spend in serializing the data to go over the wire and each insert is bein

So no new verbs going into the Query Language ? I have been waiting to do much more work around my Java driver until the pace of change slows down a bit.

Great Job and this is cool to see such progress. Now the long process of implementing all the new verbs in the drivers begins. I am really looking forwards to when RQL is marked as stable.

I thought it was F-16 as the high fighter and the F-18 as the low fighter ?

by dkhenry 13y ago
I don't think this is to replace the F16. The F22 replaces them. How do you think the F35 compares to the F18 ?

I understand the point the article is trying to make, but its not realistic. Having worked with the Navy for a few years I know that the biggest use of airplanes is not air to air combat ( which is what this article is complaining about ) I

Really big formatting fail. There should be a close parenthesis after the exist. I know the JVM in hardware implementations "exist", but they aren't real implementations since they lack many of the OS like features (Threads ,

We can imagine something that runs the CLR in hardware, and we can imagine something that runs the JVM in hardware ( actually those things exist , but they don't and both the CLR and JVM are incapable of creating programs that _can_ ru

I am no language designer, but I wonder why use libuv and have to worry about implementing a scheduler and all the other components of a run time loop in your language when the kernel will do this for you. I think it would make more sense t

I think its much less common in language design then we might give it credit for. Many languages run on a VM that is written in C including the likes of Java, Javascript, C#, Ruby and Python ( even PyPy compiles down to C ). I am sure there

I am going to preface this comment by saying the following. Its very important that we do everything we can to improve the quality of education our children receive. Nothing I am about to say should be taken to mean that we have no room for

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if your intent is to get around NSA snooping this doesn't do that. All you have really done is made sure that your communications are target for closer scrutiny. Remember I don't care _what

I think the problem with BitBucket and GitHub is that i never need to go to the website for most things. All the interfacing I do is thought the Git or mercurial Interface.

I really need to start monitoring GitHub vrs Bitbucket for uptime. I can't think of the last time Bitbucket was down.

The state department _officially_ stated they will not look into if it was a coup or not. They are not looking into it because if it turns out it was ( which it was ) then they theoretically have to obey the law on whom they can give money

Sysadmins use as much or more bash then perl. So according to this index there are still a ton of people who use lots of perl and little bash, implying not just sysadmins.

I would claim the opposite. People who live in a vaccume can't very well be said to be part of a community.

When will we stop pretending TIOBE is even remotely relevant. Do we still honestly think that there are four times as many python developers then Javascript developers or twice as many Perl developers as Ruby developers ? This is absolute r

Right now you should have complete functionality, but Its not fully tested and there are some "convience" methods that need to be added to some of the ReQL classes to make it mimic the official API ( for example row is not a membe
