This is the wrong soution to this problem. The _right_ solution is to quadrouple the number of senators and house members. This effort shows that yes via technology we can have more people voting on the important business of the country , b

It was a combination of reasons. Firstly I wrote it better the second time. I think almost any time you rewrite something even in the same language you can do it in less lines. Secondly even with boost and the STL its really hard to do some

While I don't think _this_ article presents any compelling reasons to learn scala, you still should. If I had to list my reasons they would be 0. Of all the "new" languages Scala has the best selection of libraries and I think is the easies

I am right there with you. At one time I spent hours and hours playing "Hardcore" games, tweaking settings for better frame rates. Studying forums and websites for multilayer strategies and tip. Now I really would like something I can sit d

This is by far the most overlooked feature of being a part of the Google ecosystem. I don't think Microsoft or Apply can match the ability for me to give out a number to someone, not a special username and not something that requires you to

I _really_ want to do something productive in Ada. Its just that every time I sit down and look at it the pragmatist in me balks and I end up doing it in C or Scala. It reminds of ALGO 60. A Language that on paper should have been the goto

I think once rust stabilizes a little more, its going to be a excellent language. The real big thing is going to be stand alone rust programs. I know they have two tickets open ,but I would love to be able to write rust programs that don't

That's the same kind of argument that people use to say you should only buy "American" cars, or read the labels of where your clothes or smartphones were made. It doesn't work.

This is a really weak argument. It glosses over the nuances of what was originally offered from a business , and what they then tried to pivot to. Its one thing If I as an individual let you upload photos to my server, and make you a little

Bit bucket is making real progress, but I still don't think I can drop GitHub all together for them. I actually like them better, but almost every open source project I use is on GitHub and only one is one BitBucket. Its almost at the point

Its not just the press. We have systematically abandoned almost every clause of the first amendment.

When we as a nation are willfully abandoning the 1st why should we care that congress is abandoning the 5th ?

No claiming that complexity is _subjective_ is dismissive. there is complexity and there is simplicity. There is also perceived complexity and perceived simplicity. As far as languages go Scala is pretty darn simple. There is very little go

I don't think Filing for Chapter 11 is something you decide to do one weekend so I wonder how much THQ knew what was going to happen in a few weeks and what they gained by putting out the Humble Bundle. Maybe it was a move to get something

Right its a problem that exists in every language, there is nothing novel about scala that lends it to being any more cryptic then c++, other then there is a different set of rules as to what can be used where. Operator overloading in C++ i

I don't think its dismissive, The truth is Scala is _not_ complicated. People can do complicated things with it, but in general the language poses no real barrier to entry. Now the second point you bring up is more of an issue that I run in

The article this article quotes was on HN yesterday [1]. It was Baloney then its baloney now. CNNMoney came to faulty conclusions , and pcmag appears to have extrapolated those faulty conclusions, CNN Money stated that most of the _top_ pro

I have looked at Haskell, but the problem is getting the team migrated over. Its a lot easier to migrate a team to Scala then to Haskell. Also the library selection for the JVM is unparallelled.

So shipping the initial product and being a month late with the final product is considered "Where the ?!$#!" is it ? Especially with a team that has been in _constant_ contact with their backers about status updates and progress reports. L

This article is factually inaccurate. At least two projects they list as Where the ^%$# is it!? (Castle Story, Light Table) have delivered on time. I have played castle Story, and have used Light Table. This is nothing more then link bait.

Its nice to see another shop switching to Scala. I have been advocating the same change where I work ( currently PHP and really feeling the pinch of what it can do ). Looks like I now have another data point to use as a success story for tr

One situation where you might see immediate results is in High volume routing. I think this project [1]. They were using the GPU to saturate multiple 10GbE interfaces with a commodity processor. 1. http://shader.kaist.edu/packetshader/

I love this idea. It reminds of the one thing that I think Java did better then anyone else, JMX. If only there was a standard cross language way for programs to expose metrics. kinda like collectd, but have it pull based instead of push ba

This is a misleading title. The limits of this attack make it so that your better off fork bombing the system then trying to "hack" it with this kind of attack. The two attacks specified are making it impossible to create a specifically nam

This comes across as a very biased piece. In the "Matchups" that they do. Distributions are scored are arbitrary metrics with no real meaning or valuation behind them. I skimmed down to the Fedora section to see it lost because PackageKit i

If I am not mistaken we already use HVDC on high power runs due to its much lower loss ? How does this beaker change that ?

So I see. I think I didn't take the time to define my terms, or give the full sales pitch around them. I am not going to give the sales pitch, but TopN is a style of report that can query in real time every metric across every performance m

The biggest advantage I think they would get is a central configuration through all their routers. No need to have a complex interdependent configuration on a dozen routers. One controller can forward the changes to everyone when their made

I am curious as to why that would be ? I think that the product that I helped develop would provide immediate value for someone in this situation, and I think it would be unethical to suggest it without at least a cursory acknowledgement of
