This is some great progress! But I should say that there is still too much overhead in using STM; you will still be able to very easily (and by a large margin) outperform STM-4 by running 4 instances of Tornado with HAProxy or some other l

The US has poured tens of billions into cancer research, and much more globally.. is money really the biggest limiting factor?

hm.. but why would anyone want to read how approachable Go is for beginners on HN? Do all negative experiences disqualify anyone from publishing a comparison? which negative experiences qualify?

I think Ian (who works on Go) summed it up nicely. To paraphrase: yes map/reduce is useful but it's another built-in generic so it adds a lot of complexity and it's not worth the trade-off. This rounds back into Go's g

The former. I'm not arguing that I have extensive experience or had multiple use cases (I had neither), but I am saying these very serious issues started to pop up just a couple of hours in. I'm surprised there is nothing here ab

I think to properly write a language comparison, you need to have extensively used both languages and with multiple use cases. For example: I've recently attempted writing a small service in Go and it only took a few hours for me to fi

I hate the whole credit processing fee bit -- Why are 2+% of all donations going towards VISA? There should be a direct deposit through your bank card or something!

How can 0 people know what's in Coke while still getitng it FDA approved? Surely this can't be true.. How does the company know how to make a can of coke if they don't know how it's put together?

It's not really a generic tool like Pants is, but it's something. Thanks for sharing!

Can't wait for someone to add C++ (llvm and g++) support!

Finally, a modern-day build tool! I thought Facebook would open source theirs first. (this looks a LOT like Google's and Facebook's and Amazon's internal build config as well, btw)

That's too technical of an argument and takes away from the idea that Tactic is trying to convey. Most people don't find that apple-picking from a forest is stealing. My take on Tactic's explanation of stealing is that the g

Man, Facebook has a lot of hookups with Wired. You always see articles on Wired about Facebook projects and tech. relevant: Co-creator of D works at Facebook.

It's not true. I'm pretty sure OP just overlooked the dialogue that pops up and asks you if you want to backup pictures when you add a new account.

This is an older revision of the style guide; they updated the style guide recently to allow lambdas. Other C++11 features were also under review for a while.

i think it's only recently that applications started moving away from using multiple windows towards using multiple tabs in a single window. I think the number-of-actions to get to a particular window (or even another app) is too high

I still don't understand why they insist on removing window-based task management when they continue to use window-based applications and workflows, so I will continue to complain about this

It's a pretty dry post, it sounds like the author wants to talk to Google to see if they can "work together"

Man doesn't explain what Google is doing wrong.. I think OP just wants to let Google know that he is a competitor and considers himself ahead of the game.

how much does canonical make in profits per year? i don't think enough to spend its capital to enter a new market, on a space they have little experience in. crowdfunding would atleast give them an idea on the demand for Edge, and hel

kickstarter takes a 5% cut, and indiegogo takes a 4% cut. the difference is $320,000, no small amount! i don't think kickstarter would've brought in anymore investors than putting it on indiegogo -- atleast not 320k worth. the e

As jmduke said, i feel it's pretty silly to compare Facebook to the NSA, when they operate in completely different contexts: the NSA doesn't ask for your permission for the data, while you and your friends are giving Facebook the

The way I see it, Facebook manages and displays all the content you and your friends provide, so it is nothing without the content providers. There is something really odd about paying for a service so you can look at what your friends&#x2

A good way to measure CPU performance in a CPU-agnositic way (not sure if thats the right phrase to use) is instruction-count. you would have to disregard things like cache when looking at instruction count, which is probably bad, but it s

This article is kind of BS. It refers to another article by the same author ( http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/five-reasons-why-windo... ) on why windows 8 sucks, which doesn't even make fair points. The problem is that too many people
