And a JIT-compiler + VM so it can be used on all environments.

This is not a coincidence. I'm a worker node in a distributed international corp, and we have a lot of communication errors and timeouts, protocol errors and interpreter bugs, as well as byzantine generals called managers. Our kafka is

Why does the following strategy not counter this approach? If you are the bad guy you sort all candidates according to their current trust, as defined by being part of the trusted group in previous voting rounds. And then you put your marke

I agree with what James Mickens has to say about this area of expertise. Usually the thinking is to expect that things mostly work (which is wrong) and that in case of an inconsistency sending another message could fix it (which more often

The female logic I can follow here: Once you play hardcore, i.e. more intense, just having a story will get boring soon. So they add other competencies. It's a little confusing for me, why just playing skill competition shouldn't

I love how happy they are to work around blocking open(). This is a very common way of thinking. But in fact there are only two ways to handle I/O. And no matter what you do, you always end up with one of them: Path 1, blocking I/

Well, creating confidence usually creates power. So probably the receiver will gain power, while the advise giver will lose power. It's probably more complicated due to good advise yielding respect on the receiver side and sometimes

Does it also hold my chat history hostage? I can totally understand the business model behind it, but for me it's also really the most valuable component. I want full monopoly over my chat history (meaning also the the chat app develop

Huh? Why does this suggest that? After you create a bank account for instance a unique account number is generated for you. But usually they don't create these for each citizens on birth in each bank.

Also contract work in the market you want to approach might bring you the connections for seed funding.

Also interesting would be the secret history of silicon valley AFTER 2009. I think it's the biggest boom area all over the world since the 2008 crisis. Would be really interesting to see how NY banking started interacting with west coa

> freedom and equality will at some point exclude themselves depends strongly on the POV I'd argue. I think I know what you mean: If you don't enforce equality by taking away freedoms naturally an inequality will emerge. One co

From an American point of view the word "liberal" and "public healthcare" work together? From a German perspective that's the opposite area. In the traditional German system we would call that "left". But

True about 60% I'd said. You will be surprised though how two different people, one white-male the other asian-female will get offered for the very same job with the very same skills.

Actually I'm going to check them out. Thanks. Last I checked for that was Wordpress and they paid like $1500/month if I remember correctly.

Still you are probably male, white, born in Western Europe or US, etc. I found even some little things like how people style their hair, if they use face masks to keep their face clean, if they paid for teeth whitening/straightening in

This is not negative, this is called objective. The bear eats fish. That is nice and relaxing for the bear, but really painful for the fish. And there is not much the fish can do about it. Will the positive thinking fish get better results?

That is a nice fantasy. I don't see it applying for most people tho. I know exactly zero people who do contract/remote work and don't struggle to make a living, even in a cheaper area. The hardest part is to get any decent pa

It's arguably the same. For Linux also people need to write the driver code and mainline it. It's just that someone does it for most desktop parts we would consider buying, but nobody does it for semi shady Taiwan hardware which i

So there is one obscure metric "service is available, i.e. can do its job", and this metric has different attributes: there are actual metric values (SLIs), there are internal goals (SLOs) and there are legally binding promises (S

This sounds like a brilliant idea that will either bring humanity to a new positive level or kill us all. Great times.

What is the point of this post? This is all well known and that is what development projects are for. If you would at least argue that this will always be the same then there would be a discussion to have. But right now this post is just sa

In Germany we have Saturn and Mediamarkt, and these shops seem to work the same way they worked 15-20 years ago. In some regards the products available even went down, at least in the areas I care about. So really, every time I go into one

This pretty much applies to _all_ software development as well, especially in a standard environment like ERP. There is not much need for new stuff, just learn the ropes for what already worked the last ten years, then handle the complexity

Everybody tries this. In the beginning contributions are easy. After almost 30 years of everybody developing on the same code base nothing is easy any more. That is normal and can't be avoided. I agree though, that it might be good mar

These are not goals. Every OS in the world has contributions and releases. Linux has the goal to be pragmatic, BSDs have the goal to be technically perfect in a certain area, Windows had the goal to be on every desktop computer in the world

I believe a big part of Python's success is owed to Guido. However I don't think this is a good move. It's not very likely, but not impossible that this will even kill Python. Doesn't he have any people he trusts in the

Jut FYI: Lot's of downvotes but not a single person until now could argue what their problem is. Are you downvoters one of the parasites? Or do you like to get exploited?
