Super creepy but also really cool to see (no pun intended).

There might be stored procedures etc, but not being an expert means I'd be concerned about performance and correctness. And the point is especially for perf because that's exactly when I want upsert: to save a lot of back and fort

Upsert is really exciting, as the author mentions, because it is a huge thing keeping people from choosing Postgres instead of MySQL.

You can download the command line tools package from apple instead to get the compiler which is only a couple hundred megs instead of the 5 gig bloat that is xcode. Definitely saves a lot of hassle.

Totally agree. Most Clojure code I read is far from easy to jump into for an amateur like myself. It is awesome to see some well-explained and simple code that you can learn from like this.

Who "uses this in production" and how is it better than MySQL and Postgresql? They need a little more show instead of tell.

Level0 was fun, Level1 threw me immediately into "This looks like it's gonna suck". I know Git fairly well, but I don't know it that well. I poked at the shell script a bit, but I just ain't seeing it. It's a

Some of those attacks are just awesome. Pretty scary as a web programmer

Nice pun.

This is awesome because it means backdoors could have been inserted many many versions ago in a compiler and as long as there was a chain of using the compiler to compile itself through each version (as most compilers like GCC are), the hac

Funny, I was literally just thinking it was incredibly snappy for all the large images, and fairly intricate styling.

So stoked, I love Intellij, Rubymine, and PyCharm but for some reason setting up Intellij to do Android dev is always so difficult (and the Jetbrains pro version is not cheap at around 600 bucks iirc). If Google has made any of the env setu

If you RTFA, it looks like it isn't even doing a GET, its doing a HEAD request.

This feels like why doing the whole Agile thing is really useful especially for startups: the only thing you know for sure is you're not going to do it right at first so you have to be good about being able to pivot.

The real unfortunate thing is that while you may make the personal decision to not take the risk, legislation makes that decision for everyone. I'd definitely err on the side not letting violent extremists censor me.

No, OCaml and Haskell can be faster than C at times. Look at some benchmarks.

Nice example. I like Scala, but its a huge leap from Java. Kotlin clearly tries to mitigate this while still having some nice terseness which Scala also fails at. Hopefully Kotlin will get some traction.

I don't think they've ever worked for Square.

This is a pretty useful tool for doing retros at Pivotal Labs. Makes figuring out what to talk about super easy and eliminates the whole dot voting awkwardness.

You missed the part where they said they were on a windows box trying to copy a file to their home directory. Instead of copying the file to the home directory, it made a file called ~.

I have every one of these things at my current company and I work at a 100 person company.
