This guys is being pretty hyperbolic when it comes to the requirements for design-related skills. Perhaps that is the bar they set at Cloudera, but here are a lot of people out there that do 'front-end development' who don't

yeah it's an example of how you could implement higher-level language features much easier if def returns a symbol rather than nil

I agree wholeheartedly. The internet has a way of repeating things over and over again until they're almost meaningless.

C compilers catch plenty of type errors. As soon as you start casting things into different types you have the possibility of re-introducing type errors, but presumably you're casting things for a good reason in the first place, and th

It's called soft-realtime. The difference is well known, and you getting offended about it isn't going to do anything for anyone.

there should be a small tax per order put out, even if cancelled and a small percentage-based tax on each trade. If that behavior has been determined to exacerbate price declines that externality should be captured in a tax and de-incentivi

It sounds like a case of different regions having different job markets, perhaps?

I love when Node.js advocates try to convince you that promises are as good a concept as anyone would need to handle asynchronous programming

It sound like YOU might need to talk to a lawyer before making any decisions. Hacker news is probably not an appropriate place to get information regarding this situation.

tech-oriented channels? Care to name any?

GOTO is often involved in error handling. If there are a bunch of different ways that code inside a function can fail, and the cleanup after failure involves tearing down the same objects, etc... then it's usually considered acceptable to u

Pretty much, yeah. Closures can actually be a problem for memory deallocation in garbage collected languages. Someone I know was working on a common lisp app and eventually found some of their performance problems to be related to the amoun

Can you go into more detail about why you are glad there isn't a blob + VM approach? I know the long history of Java vulnerabilities, etc... but I'd be curious to hear what someone knowledgeable about the subject would say.

Do you think a code of contact like that is only required in professional settings? I would imagine Star Trek conventions probably have codes of conduct that read pretty similar, if you remove the explicit references to professional conduct

do you really think these two projects are comparable, or for that matter, that their code-licensing models are comparable?

it's definitely an electro-chemical gradient of sorts. at the cellular junction i believe the messages being transmitted are mostly receptor based (neurotransmitters) but there possibly some external ionic messages as well. I believe what y
