Who says this is an attempt to drum up publicity? It's an announcement to the Gradle community, who presumably knows what it is and wouldn't be very interested in an explanation. Someone posted it to HN because they thought people

This. While this API is not RESTful at all, that's just a nomenclature problem; it's totally fine as an API [1]. RPC is perfectly appropriate for a wide range of problems and there's no need to shoehorn every application into

No, but I wouldn't raid a house either. I'm no police tactician, but it can't possibly be true that raiding a house is less dangerous than waiting for the suspect to leave his house and arresting him then. For anyone, includi

I'm genuinely curious what you're testing with that. Is the idea to see how their scale of fluency matches up with yours, or to see if--assuming they use a reasonably similar scale as you--their self-evaluation if is accurate? If

A bit off-topic, but I've always avoided language-familiarity questions. If a candidate has coded a lot of, say, Java, then I do expect them to know the details and their importance, mostly because I expect people to care about the too

My guess from here is that it's not some sort of deep crisis, just a buildup of pain points that's gotten up to your neck. If you can get a few things sorted out, the picture might turn nice and sunny, and your "but I just wa

I've thought about doing this as a general productivity tactic to force myself to do less shit I don't want to be doing.

In strict mode, it does give you an error. So maybe just use that?

Thanks!

That's my understanding of the term too, but it doesn't seem that subjective. IANAL, but in the absence of an explicit overriding definition, I suspect the court would interpret just like you said it; i.e. it's not up to Tesl

Some things that seem useless surprise you with their utility. But most things that seem useless are in fact useless.

I'm curious about this. To what degree is a CEO writing and publicly distributing the statement, "Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology." legally binding? &quot

I agree with your point but not the scare quotes. Yes, the field evolves, priorities change, and languages inevitably fall out of favor. However, that losing is inevitable doesn't make the losing less real, and I think it's still

I suppose sometimes it might be, but then the question is whether it was worth it. On GMOs particularly, there are a ton of malnutrition problems we could potentially solve with this technology, and sacrificing that for political expediency

The increased use of chemicals is the strongest argument against the increased use of those chemicals . If you want to regulate something, regulate that thing instead of killing off the technology that enabled it. GMOs in particular have t

Oops, my bad. Rewrote my response.

Edit: rewritten because I misunderstood your point. Funny, I actually just added an edit to my post above that discusses this. Comcast adds interconnect capacity as needed. So in at least one way, it's actually easier this way, right?

>If Netflix is 35% of global internet traffic at peak capacity (as per the Akamai CEO's comments at a number of events), is it really fair to treat them like every other company? I don't see why not. I think it might make more

Having a low unemployment rate actually suggests it would be harder to hire a team there. But on your bigger point, remember this guy was going to move to the US to do this work until he was told no by our government. I want him to work her

You may be right, and further he may have even been able to find far better people in the US, or maybe in, say, Ghana. But that's just us criticizing the degree to which he optimized his hiring, not a principled complaint about the c

But note that what happened was that the whole team ended up being built in Columbia, so that didn't work out so well as an incentive. And generally protectionism is a great way to strangle your competitiveness and watch jobs leave. An

Do you think that pre-HFT trading practices are transparent and easily understood, and that they're under a proper amount of scrutiny? Are large banks trading at lower frequencies less shadow governmenty? I posit they are not, and I do

No, that would work very similarly to the greedy version. The backtracking happens because the \d gets matched to the '1' and the whole thing has to be rolled back when the $ attempts match and instead finds '2' (this wo

I agree with your second sentence, but not your first. "I'm willing to die for my causes so you should be willing to die for yours." No thanks.

You're asking him to prioritize the glory of "standing up" over his life. That's an absurd expectation to put on a human being, and it's not clear that it would accomplish anything anyway.
