I use that in Intellij all the time, but it's very limited to something like pry in ruby.

I've worked on a lot of big projects with both dynamic and static languages. I think what a lot of people that are used to static languages don't realize is that dynamic langauge users typically live inside of some kind of repl. T

I just want to point out there is very little emporical data on this front which makes almost every statement along the lines of "static is better because ..." or "dynamic is better because ..." to be pure opinion.

We're still having this debate because there is very little empirical data on the subject.

Who puts a search box at the absolute bottom of the page? I had no idea that was there, and it took me a few seconds to see it when I was explicitly looking for it.

A hierarchy of bosses is not the same thing as Dilbertesque management culture. An organization above a certain size requires managers of managers and meetings. There certainly are bad managers and bad meetings, but it is bad logic to jump

I think it's fine to decide you don't want their jobs, but it's a mistake to frame it as "bullshit" which he does after the section you quote. Human nature isn't bullshit, and any endeavor which requires a larg

From the article/link: As noted in past emails to golang-dev and on golang.org/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle, the constraints above are stricter than in past cycles. An explicit goal is to ship the first beta on time, by May 31, inst

I'm constantly amazed at how people find a justification to fly a rocket just to get to the McDonalds a block from their house.

This isn't technically accurate. Most PHP setups these days load php, keep it loaded, and listen to requests. What you describe is a process by which something like apache listens, and on EACH request, loads your php script, interprets

I can host a python, go, or Java site for free on app engine. Cheap hosting isn't exclusive to php.

Gotcha, that makes sense. I'm not sure it is possible to have it and know that your info is private, which I'm assuming you feel as well given you don't have it. I have it for the benefits and accept that my info probably isn

Do you not have GPS on your phone or do you have it but know that it never saves your location history? If the latter, how do you know?

But Twitter created the value -- and that is the twitter contradiction.

This highlights my biggest complaint about twitter. I use it largely as your quote describes, to get publish events from people/organizations I'm interested in. In short, I use it like a modern RSS feed. The problem is that a whol

you would think a non VC - compared to a seasoned professional with a great track record - would, you know, kinda sorta pay attention to what the seasoned professional says, maybe? But it seems they just throw out unthoughtful comments and

"This announcement just underscores the importance of having full control over your backend" I disagree. If using something like this let's you get to market much faster, much cheaper, and find market fit faster/cheaper,

What is the claim exactly? Ruby/Rails is bad because ... too much magic. I think this is a false claim because. 1. Rails is easier to learn than most of the things mentioned above, so not magic 2. It's perfectly reasonable, and go

I think this is wrong. Nearly all of us build on top of things we don't understand. I don't understand the physics of a harddisk, or the pipelining of a CPU, or some of the low level OS functionality. The issue is when do each of

I'm not some kind of libertarian free-market solves all problems person. I think markets have many short comings. However, this is a case where I think people genuinely prefer the closed platforms for all kinds of reasons. They are bet

If consumers cared enough, they would switch from the closed platforms. Not enough people value it, and that's the hard fact.
