Have you ever tried to integrate to N different 3rd party ID providers? It's a jungle, and I'd happily see a competent national replacement.

Well, at least it's intellectually honest then.

Spreading writes to all servers: yes. Conflicting updates: no; this problem happens when doing simple inserts. See http://www.toofishes.net/blog/mysql-deadlocking-simple-inser... -- that's an old blog post but thi

Does Galera still suffer from the "gap locks" and related deadlocks? I was quite horrified to find this out. I would hope that that's not a problem with Bucardo or in fact any serious database system.

I'm saddened to know that this genius will go to his grave thinking that he failed somehow.

Branding and marketing are a minor detail, and almost completely decoupled from technical issues. They could figure out something clever... or something simple like calling it Android 5.

Note that the other two hip languages of the moment, Rust and Swift, also do not rely on exceptions for error management.

From a practical standpoint, Go is -- at least for the time being. And this is not primarily a site for academic PL theorists, is it?

Plenty of killer bugs are smashed in compile time by the most simple compiler checks.

Programming in dynamic types is not easier because you can jump around the type system more dextrously. Programming in dynamic types is easier because you (mostly) can forget that types even exist. That leads to lesser cognitive load, and t

I've used Martini a bit and also tried some of the other frameworks (beego and revel) and I really don't see what makes people call Martini especially non-Gooey in comparison. The reality is, when your language is as weak as Go (i

When in actuality the most polished Linux desktop is the ones that give you a simplicity experience unmatched by the competition. I would look for awesome and i3. If only somebody made one of these things easier to configure, that'd be

If this is the argument, also computer usage should be regulated. While it sounds like a tempting choice, I believe the better way is more freedom (also for drugs & alcohol) coupled with more serious punitive measures whenever others ge

Given that this program is mainly several regexp matches against the input string, perhaps perl or awk would be a perfect match here?
