are you talking about the typing of data received from outside sources?

She probably didn't get another job because she's in the field of 'developer evangelism' and publicly skewered a developer without giving appropriate thought to the consequences of her actions. I think that might be an i

It does come off as elitist, and I think he could have communicated a great deal better. I agree that your identity shouldn't be wrapped up in some particular technology you use, but you also shouldn't have to prop up your identit

I echo your sentiments about disillusionment with weakly typed/dynamically typed languages and I still haven't really reached a situation where I was glad I didn't have a type system backing me.

The reason why it's interesting is it is basically a grammer for editing text. It's simple enough that you can easily create new strings of grammar which do what you want but powerful enough that the skill ceiling is practically i

Neither is more 'right' than the other, only that it's pointless to criticize people who are long-dead. It's important for people to realize that European immigrants did (and do) largely the same thing as other immigrant

I think that's an enlightening way of looking at things, but doesn't quite bring the same shame as referring to ourselves as an uncivilized country. Perhaps if the national debate was about being a civilized country instead of fra

Pretty disgusting all around. I guess I'll never understand the mindset of people who would perpetrate things like this on innocents in the sake of short-term profits. Long-term profits are probably harder to make the case for when the

Does it reinitiate VM execution by waiting for the hypervisor to be scheduled again which schedules out to its constituent vms?

I think you're right on some counts, but there is a part that I think most people overlook when they dismiss rapid input as being a useful feature. A lot of modern languages/platforms are able to be used as a REPL console. Same wi

I would imagine that there are a number of different ways a particular brain could be more successful than another at performing a particular cognitive task. I do believe you are right in thinking that some of them are better thought of as

my sentiments exactly. HN comment of the month.

I agree with you to some degree. It's incredibly easy to write insecure software if it ever touches a shell.

by hderms 12y ago
I so agree with you. The only thing I hate about the *nix userland is that all tools follow their own set of arbitrary concerns regarding the things you mentioned. Really limits the intuitiveness and discoverability of the system.
286.
by hderms 12y ago
It's not that the commandline is necessarily underpowered, imo, it's that the discoverability and intuitiveness of the *nix userland is pretty low. Man pages are a great way to document every flag a program accepts, but are a terr

I would imagine having union types and such would make something like this a bit more powerful. Not entirely sure, but having a hierarchy of http contentencoding types, and http error/success types could make it easier to write code th

I think it absolutely is relevant. Our society is obsessed with the concept of self-actualization, and self-expression in the midst of an electronically connected populace. The average person has more of a 'voice' than they ever h

Wow this looks awesome. Always wanted to give F# a try, now I have no excuse!

Ah, I see. I guess I've never forgotten to use new. That does sound incredibly annoying to debug.

Therefore we need to heavily incentivize researchers in the public sphere (who don't necessarily have the same type of perpetual treatment motive), along with allowing the free market researchers to operate according to their own goals

I think that's true most of the time, but in this particular case, it probably isn't doing anyone much good (aside from the beneficiaries of that clickbait admoney)

sudo requires a password to be entered by default, right? I would guess that for most setups this wouldn't be possible without some kind of privilege escalation as well (or if the webserver was running with root privileges).

why do people want to avoid using new?

Elixir is the #1 language I want to succeed. I can't imagine how amazing it would be if web development counted Elixir among its top 5 languages.
296.
by hderms 12y ago
I agree. The tooling that is released WITH the language is an amazing bonus. Of course, no one is forcing you to use ExTest, but it's amazing that they decided to just give it to you with the platform itself.

At the very least, he's my favorite. Discovered him when I was about 16 and immediately decided to read everything he ever wrote. Truly an imaginative and amazing man. Also his poetry is really incredible and offers an interesting look

Elixir is an amazing language on top of a time-tested VM and incredible concurrency model. It's been a while since I've been so excited about a language. It's an incredibly cohesive language that doesn't appear to have a

I had some limited experience with Go, and some limited experience with elixir, but I walked away feeling like Elixir is better for making distributed systems. I guess the learning curve for Elixir is way higher if someone has no experience

I think it's mostly to avoid the whole mess of having Javascript arbitrarily selecting DOM elements that are declared elsewhere and then manipulating them/cloning them to create some new DOM. If you were creating some DOM/cod
