I don't see any text in there that warrants that claim. Is there a specific sentence or two that you could highlight that leads you to your conclusion?

We must have read it entirely differently. The second link, which is far briefer, highlights that Hempton has finally found an example of inventory loading by millennial members of the Mormon church. But he regards that as an edge case. So

It's unfortunate that you are being downvoted - especially since you are citing John Hempton's excellent work on the topic. It's really worth a read and an interesting counterpoint to Ackman's analysis.

Perhaps. It's like that old joke about perspective. The length of a minute depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on. :-) From my standpoint, I'm _still_ trying to get my head around all the ramifications of what h

While your comment is a bit snarky, there is some truth to it in that if rust successfully evangelizes a technique, I'd expect the C++ world to bring it on board if there is room and I'm sure room can be found. The one topic to co

Rather than specifically single it out as "trying to catch up to Rust", I'd say that C++ is doing what it has always been doing. Reaching for the future while maintaining backwards compatibility. It's been a great strate

I wouldn't call it a rebate because that implies the full sticker tax bill and expected payment was already belonging to the taxing authority. You can't be rebated something back to you when it was yours to begin with.

I think you are offering up a false alternative. It really is a choice between three outcomes. (1) No factory is built, no taxes collected. (2) Factory is built, company pays full sticker price on the taxes. (1) is unappealing because nothi

There is an essential difference between being bled less (which is what these tax breaks appear to be) versus receiving a blood transfusion.

If you keep more of your money through a change in tax policy, you are suggesting that the government gave you money? I'd argue that you are keeping what was yours all along. Being bled less isn't the same as receiving a blood don

I think it's a mistake to describe it as taxpayer financed. The text I see in the article is all about a reduced tax bill. "$1.5 billion in state income tax credits for jobs created, up to $1.35 billion in credits for capital inve

While such support might be helpful, the majority of systems in C++ that I've seen are significantly larger than the libraries they are consuming. In other words, such library wrappers are but a scratch on the surface of the system. I

That claim is simply not true.

by eej71 9y ago
That's an interpretation that I had not seen before. You would probably need to provide some more references to evidence for that claim in order to combat the down voting.

If your employer is who I think it is - you still have many years to go. :-)

While a factually correct description of what was made available, I don't think that's quite the intended meaning of "open source".

The link does not work...

The issue to think about is - if you don't know enough to "upgrade/replace in place" - then you probably won't know enough to rewrite from scratch.

I think there are a few reasons that keeps them at the top of the heap vs. their nearest competitors (S&P CapIQ, Factset, Thompson/Reuters). One if Mike Bloomberg himself. He is a rarity. He is a founder who is still very active in

Unfortunately it's not terse but Effective Modern C++ by Scott Meyers is a good resource. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920033707.do

You are thinking of VMS logicals. Of course they can be used for more than just environment variables! They can also be used to provide an extra level of indirection to filenames. Neat stuff!

I didn't think it was satire as I believe it to be a popular viewpoint both in the larger world as well as among many folks here on HN.

I think the popular counterpoint has been - microservices _forces_ consideration of a good API because you are now on the network even if its just localhost.

Care to elaborate? Did you think the fallacies were straw man arguments? Logic was flawed in some of them? Did any of the fallacies ring true for you?

I think the author criticizes that view point in the final paragraph of fallacy #4. No?

It's too bad the python 3.x fans can't see this as feedback about how difficult it for users of 2.x to upgrade to the latest and greatest. Many 2.x folks have sprawling code bases and complex operational needs. The 3.x advocates s

FWIW, I thought it was appropriate and I had the same xkcd cartoon in mind as I was reading the comments. Someone else beat me to it.

Agreed. First paragraph here captures her viewpoint. http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/charity.html
