If you're going to rebase every pull, you may as well just use SVN.

(unrelated to the topic of OP) Which is too bad. Doctors do, but technologists arguably have a larger effect on the lives of all people.

I think that because TCO is all but inevitable in future engines/standards, starting to use functional patterns now for the programming benefits is worthwhile.

I just gave up the domain name bashrx.com which I held on to for about 2 years. It was going to be a site where you could save a bunch of check-boxed modules of aliases, exports, and utility functions. So maybe I liked Josh's git aliases an

Pictures seems far-fetched, but what about a radio signal of an old broadcast?

This may be silly semantics, but the idiom "a bad apple" typically means one bad person in a group of people who are good.

I don't think the answer to solving concurrency and parallelism problems lies entirely in the approach of Go, Erlang, or some other language. Rather, different layers of approaches seems to be the best solution. Using an asynchronous, Erlan

I'd like to sign up using github, since that's a sensible authentication method for a developer-centric community. > Update your user profile. Why is this required? I very much like my profile the way it is. What do you plan on adding?

Well i guess it only takes one owner then?

Well, that is only enough money for a single programmer to work 9-5 for somewhere between 6-12 months.

Imagine a start-up where you rent a tiny radio receiver, a really tiny miniature scale radio receiver in a big warehouse in Virginia next to an even tinier transmitter that you control via a "fan request" API. So might that count as radio?

I think I heard about that. I think it's interesting to note that, in much of science fiction, the home planets of space-faring species are always terribly littered due to the bootstrapping process of reaching the stars, whereas the orbital

I think the extra $2 accounts for the laziness factor. By all means run your own - that's probably better for the overall ecosystem.

Worth mentioning that the major content of the Planetary Annihilation page was their simulation/rendering - completely concept-art.

This is an interesting comment because I usually think of "scale" as being able to handle high load. Angular itself is itself about 500K (unminified), but still only about twice as big as jQuery (roughly). Regardless, it makes sense that cl

Angularjs ;-) Seriously, push your templates, models, and controllers into static client code (html/js) and use any of the dead-simple Sinatra-like clones to quickly scaffold your REST resources. Go is a superb "plumbing" language, in my op

So let me retract that after reading some of the other posts - in the end what you guys did was still pretty slick and I'm sure you learned a lot. So sorry for being reactionary myself.

Wow. As somebody who has participated in PennApps in the past and actually visited this year for the Friday night kickoff, let me just say that it is a damn shame that this is getting so much of a negative reaction because there are so many

So Wikipedia states the following: "Quantum teleportation is unrelated to the common term teleportation – it does not transport the system itself, and does not concern rearranging particles to copy the form of an object." So, in a nutshell,

Well, for the sake of discussion, how does NASA assemble the team(s) that build their stuff? That's the highest profile, most ad-hoc programming gig I can think of. Fact is projects like that are pretty rare.

Ugh: "What it does not have, according to city officials, are things that would make it an office. It doesn’t have enough fire exits, sprinklers or wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, as required by city regulations."

In general, thinking about the different valid rewrites of the type signatures of the various higher order functions in Haskell tends to reveal quite a bit!

It's a bit more powerful than that - consider what would happen if, every time you sequence two statements together... doThingOne(); doThingTwo() ... you get to pick what happens during the semicolon depending on which Monad you ha

$GOPATH is like $PATH in that it is a list of colon delimited directories, so it more like ${ANYNUMBEROFPLACES}/src/packages
