That's my point, even if you run at a steady pace the instant pace reported by your device tends to jump around quite a bit, even if they smooth it out over 10s. On my Garmin watch, the instant pace typically jumps around by +-20s&#x2F

WebAssembly is a compilation target (like JVM Bytecode). You need an IDE for the source language, not the target.

Or maybe web apps are going to be good enough and cheap enough to develop that app stores will end up full of stale apps. If everything is on the web, that's where users will get their stuff. For instance, how often do you try to get a

The premise of the story is that you want to deliver an MVP. Your premise is that side-projects are a nice way to geek out on tech. Both are valid, but you have to make sure what you're trying to accomplish before spending quality time

I see, thanks for the extra context. By the way, the notion of "marketing attacks" is a powerful one, it's going to stick with me.

Interesting choice to have people sign up for free stickers. I expect a follow-up article on "The Marketing Behind the Marketing Behind MongoDB" :)

Regular BASE jumpers perform worse on all these metrics but don't die as much. All these metrics apply the same to skydiving wingsuit jumpers but they don't die as much. The real problem is that flying closer to things leads to mo

The context for things like Linkerd or Hystrix is server infrastructures that are made of multiple services. For instance you may be working on a public facing service that exposes a search functionality, and your downstream services could

You can't turn it off because their service just went down? Sounds like you're dealing with a situation here.

Pattern matching allows far more than just branching by type comparisons. And I disagree that this is bad code style, this is actually a very common pattern in compilers (e.g. when you iterate a list of instructions, which may be of differe

I don't think it's fair to associate "tediousness" with the computational complexity of the underlying problem. Some games are Turing complete (Factorio, Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft, Braid...)

If you load untrusted code dynamically, it strikes me as wrong to assume anything about its capabilities. Even more so "at the language level". Untrusted code can do anything unless you sandbox it.

Presumably said countries wouldn't buy said sophisticated weapon systems if there were any indications that backdoors were added. It sounds technically feasible, but the cost of getting caught would be huge. Besides, who needs backdoor
