Strange that you dismiss Java due to its JVM dependency, yet pause at C# disregarding its CLR dependency. C# does not strictly require you to write your code with OOP principles in mind. Yes there are classes, properties, inheritance, etc.

It opens up the language to embedded use cases like with PICs or other esoteric targets which don't fit the flat memory models assumed by modern languages including LLVM backends. When your memory model requires banking or any other fo

I personally enjoy Go but your comment gave me a chuckle since it's very true. Have your upvote, friend, for whatever they're worth on HN.

Typescript is not its own language in terms of having a distinct runtime from Javascript so it has no performance difference and does not make sense to appear in this comparison. I can see comparing different target versions of Javascript a

100% coverage is meaningless with respect to correctness and the ability to prove facts about your code. 100% coverage only means that you've been able to exercise all relevant lines of code at least once, not that you've tested

No. JSX is a small domain-specific language for expressing a hierarchy of virtual DOM nodes. Angular is a template language in that it eschews JavaScript compatibility in favor of its own directives that try to emulate basic iteration and c

Yeah, it's just my opinion tempered with experience. Is the pluralization rule literally as simple as stated in the article, namely appending an 's' and calling it done? English is rarely so simple and there are tons of corne

Given the previous experience of authoring a popular ORM, why repeat the mistake of pluralization of table names from model names? I've always found this convention to be problematic at best and I've learned to avoid it. Maintaini

This site isn't resolving for me and neither is www.tinyeyes.com. I don't get any error, just Chrome spinning and saying "Waiting for www.tinyeyes.com", same with vischeck.com.

Interesting assertion. Can you show me a shell invocation without using dd that cuts off the first 16 bytes of a binary file, for example? This is a common reason I use dd.

Perhaps the new-user process requires authentication initially via email to confirm that you are in control of that address.

I saw nothing about requiring email address usernames to be backed by an email provider in the documentation. The email address is literally just a username format and is authenticated by public key. Anyone concerned with the privacy of the

To your first point, LINQ-to-SQL can bind database functions for use directly in LINQ queries. I've used this first hand for parsing comma delimited string parameters into table values and joining from there in LINQ. I haven't use

No, we're not surprised by microbenchmarks. We're surprised by the amount of investment in trying to improve the foundations of toppling-over buildings when that investment could be better spent elsewhere.

I only meant trustworthiness in terms of predictability of performance. The point was that Go's http stack and standard library and runtime being written all in Go gives me confidence that any Go code I write on top will enjoy the same

It matters because all the heavy lifting is done by C and has little if anything to do with Python itself. You could give the same treatment to virtually any other host scripting language (Ruby, Lua, PHP) and then make outlandish claims tha

True, but that's not directly relevant to the observable problems with pipelining. Any client implementing the http/1.1 pipelining semantics will run into the same issues because of the limitations built into the design.

I'd rather stick with Golang here because it's not hiding anything. Everything in the Go stack is written in Go, and all your http handler (business) logic is written in Go. With this mix of C and Python it's impossible to te

A single worker process sounds like what it says it is. A single process containing possibly many OS threads. Just because it's a single process doesn't mean it won't use all cores. Where's the implication that process =

> 99% of the time, yes. But not always. Hmmm, no, sorry. `NULL` is #defined as `((void )0)`. There is no 99% or other probability involved. Sorry to be so pedantic as it's kind of an aside to the discussion at hand. I thought perha

It is sensitive data so I can't share the payload for a (possibly unfounded) fear of brute-forcing the correct key used. I can tell you that the key is not an ASCII string (it is a random sequence of bits). The jwt.io debugger verified

This doesn't seem to work. Compiled from source on macOS Sierra 10.12.2. I tried a valid JWT and it reports back instantly that the key is 'e'. Also does the same with invalid JWT.

I would say that when you get asked about the project in interviews or casual conversation, don't sum it up as a failure of any sorts. Speak about it as a success in research because that's what it really is. Basically, don't
