That’s a different issue than the one we’re talking about here.

A lot of ruby is based on C extensions too.

Node does it better as well. So does java with maven which has been the dominant way to do it in java for over a decade.

This is worse than how it’s done on most modern languages.

How do other people replicate your venv? How does production replicate your venv?
666.
by jshen 7y ago
This is BS. most other languages, with the same constraints, have done far better. Take Ruby as one example.

That's not the issue. I would have expected them to migrate their libraries to python3 (like every other major python library in the world). Instead they wrote entirely new libraries that aren't remotely the same, requiring a more

One example, the python2 libraries for google app engine were abandoned, and google forced you to rewrite to totally different libraries for python 3. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python&#x

You aren’t talking about dcom are you?

It does matter. Witness the recent hacks because maintainers are overwhelmed.

by jshen 8y ago
Not really. I run large enterprise apps on it and it’s cheaper than anything else I’ve used.
672.
by jshen 8y ago
Look into google app engine. It’s very similar and much cheaper. For hobby projects the free tier is usually sufficient.

efficiency and humanity are sometimes at odds. Slavery was very efficient.

riparian rights is what led to the CA water wars where the wealthy from LA bought land up stream of the farmers in the owen's valley. It didn't solve the problem we're talking about regarding rich people buying up the water.

by jshen 8y ago
It’s not a straw man, that’s exactly what a whole lot of people on here believe is the one true way. So your idea is that the government will decide and enforce that roughly half the water is not allowed for agriculture?
676.
by jshen 8y ago
the idea that "leave it to the market" will solve all problems is ridiculous as is shown by the historical example I gave.
677.
by jshen 8y ago
In the late 19th century rich people in LA bought many properties upstream of Owens valley, on the Owen’s river, and diverted the water to LA leaving farmers in Owens valley without the water they historically had and needed for their farms

I didn’t say that. I said they would IF we had an open “market” for water.
679.
by jshen 8y ago
I never said they had markets in water.
680.
by jshen 8y ago
This is what happened in CA to a lesser degree.
681.
by jshen 8y ago
I think you might have replied to the wrong person. I agree with you.
682.
by jshen 8y ago
How do you get a first owner for water?
683.
by jshen 8y ago
The very wealthy buying all the water and selling it at a huge markup with poor people dying of thirst.
684.
by jshen 8y ago
Who sets the price and what stops the very wealthy from buying it all and selling it for a giant profit. The further we go down this train of thought the less market-like it becomes very quickly.
685.
by jshen 8y ago
How do you determine who owns water in the first place.
686.
by jshen 8y ago
I love market based economies, but not the idea that markets solve all problems. You said something about “their water”, and that’s the problem. Going back to the history of CA water rights, there is no clear concept to determine who owns w
687.
by jshen 8y ago
I always cringe when I hear markers and water in the same sentence. I’m not sure what exactly you mean by “markets” but the history of water rights in CA is a great lesson highlighting how spectacularly “markets” can fail to handle water.

Yes, and thanks. This bit is really important, I see too many people who don’t understand the difference between a graph database and a knowledge graph. “So how did we build this thing with the smart folks at NASA as partners and customers?

by jshen 8y ago
I wonder if something like HTTP’s content negotiation is a good model for this.

by jshen 8y ago
I’m all for the principles here, but one worry I have is the loss of efficiencies afforded by economies of scale which could dramatically increase the carbon footprint compared to the centralized versions.
