This is a truly well written and explained article. I love the fact that they can help positively impact public transportation.

Careful with that assumption. Sometimes your Manager has enough Fortran knowledge to know what programming is, and has very sharp ideas about how it used to be done and how it should be done ... God forbid he also micro manages and has an o

I'm impressed how fast someone was able to turn this into a Unicorn :-) VCs will be stepping all over each other over this! Seriously, some languages have broken package systems and it looks like it's not the case for JS ... in fa

Standard for you means that we live under rocks? Obviously if it's standard we must be clueless. Nice way of phrasing it.

I read Atlas Shrugged cover to cover (and suffered). How did they deal with that speech in the movie that came out for it? I sure hope they cut it short ...

Yeah, the VM is the same but allows low-level JS instructions to run. So next step, is to build a <your favorite language> to webasm transpiler and not have to use JS again ... :) I believe emscriptem is already doing this for C/

Never underestimate the dark powers of an incompetent HR department. Not saying this is the case here, but sure has the looks of it ... The person that interviewed was a programmer. The follow up to an interview is usually done by HR. As st

I don't think this type of information shouldn't be disseminated. I wanted more context as to the use of the structure, or what brings the author to demonstrate it. Not having such context, I then express some concerns with the sh

It would have been nice to have some context with regards to the algorithm being explored. Although some ideas seem pretty clever, I've too often seen code implementing this in a haphazard way (buggy, no comments). This leaves the next

The really cool stuff can't be showed or discussed here unfortunately (so called 'black projects'). But I admit many of the projects posted here do seem quite interesting.

Unfortunately this happens to create lots of frustration on the part on newcomers to HN. Karma is King, so you can be downvoted by the Elite, you should check the HN guidelines.

Yeah, for technology from 1966 its barely acceptable. F-35 is '21st' century technology, or so I thought. Can we really compare the two?

I just hope the new and 'improved' X files show, won't try to take this subject as an opportunity to make yet another dubious episode ... Seriously though, could simply be a deformed human hand.

by kelvin0 11y ago
I have many time mused at having visual elements integrated into your code, to better explain or schematize some concepts (which many times cannot be easily explained by mere comments). The future is not visual programming, it's augmen

If you ever become a comedian (unless you're already one) I will gladly shovel money at you to tell me jokes ... I was thinking the same thing, but could not express it as viscerally.

Coroutines != Multithreading. Also as I understand it, GIL places limitations on Python multithreading. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

As you mentioned the problem is IoT 'gone wild', not necessarily with home automation specifically. It's great to see companies in that space doing interesting research and coming out with useful products ... but this whole t

In theory, feature flags seem like a good idea. Until you reach a point where too many flags become difficult to test in an exponential tree of combinations. Also, it demands tight discipline to make sure each new flag properly isolates som
