Agree ... Over the years there have been numerous articles about how these miles have gotten away from better business focus. A side comment somewhat in humor is the killer app that's used to explain rete rules engines which is frequen

Well, almost. A good pedantic definition would show how to see i/o rates as a percentage of maximum possible. And if those numbers were quite high and the CPU part was in the i/o loop (r/w, then compute, repeat) then indeed i

The empowering, belief, culture slant was too much for me personally --- not aware I was going to Sunday mass (sarcasm) here --- but glad to hear people like their stuff. Here's a question they don't get into: do they store transa

Totally agree. I never understood as a demerit that go is boring ... like it's some slight to programmer swagger. Most engineers prefer simple. Beginner programmers may screw up go but in my experience it's more a limited gestalt

This is one of better critiques I've read. I still think as a matter of market and solutions for same rust will continue to be a player. But I'm not game for rust to learn at the same time while I make, say, a distributed system.

Software ... the part that software developers write ... is created to run on a strong foundation of CPU, GPU, NICs, RAM, PCI buses, SSD and so on (which the EE, ChemE, Chem, math, physics people make). That makes our stuff better than if i

Thanks's for pointing out the stunningly obvious ... Captain obvious! Nobody thinks CCP means well let's try: Catholic Christian Party? Clear Catholic Principles? I've wasted enough time here. The point is that strongly ideol

So do it! China will lose that way. In the US Catholic universities often cannot run their hospitals at break even ... Much less the economy!

Agree. Plus plenty of labor has gone into customer facing bugs that autos, hw, consumer electronics etc prob wouldn't stand for. And we build on hw which is formally verified.

GO v. Rust is a tough compare and kind of a bad question. I work in a very large C/C++ organization and the build concern over our 1000s of libraries is a giant chore to do well in a DEVOPS context. GO is so much better. RUST is routin

>Hardly any projects use strict semver in the real world Part of the appeal of GO is simplicity: get some things down in a minimal yet complete way then consistently do it on the strength that it's a net-win: less complexity to lear

I really wanted Bazel to work for GO (not even C++). I gave up. It's got fine goals --- really nice ones --- but the doc sucks. We get stuck in crummy alley ways between corners of Bazel that does work well.

Agree. In the face of institutional inertia - here crossing industry and academic fields - your starting point is when I see a fly I use a canon. It is extremely difficult to budge. As so the usual reminder: the first 51% of communication i
