More than likely they store references to images in kafka, with the actual image bytes being in a different store.

Kafka doesn't have a schema per message, messages are just bytes that you can serialize / deserialize however you want to. The article refers to using protobuf for messages, which does support adding fields. If you're equati

The first edition is one of the few books that actually teaches how to solve problems well using programming. Absolutely worth it.

The point is with lisp you can automatically and unambiguously parse and format code regardless of whitespace. Giving that up in favor of whitespace sensitive languages has real world drawbacks, no matter how many "no true python prog

It is less likely to cause problems, because a removed curly brace won't parse correctly, and won't be hidden when someone excludes whitesoace from a diff.

Unless your language is somehow changing the behavior of existing tools like diff -w or github ?w=1, you're just making semantic distinctions.

Yeah, whitespace sensitive languages are a great idea... Until you permanently lose user data because of a pull request that contained whitespace changes. Yes, I've seen this happen in production, yes it could have been prevented in ot

Plain old java servlets are the #1 result on the json benchmark, at over half a million requests per second. The implementation is less than 40 lines, most of which is imports / comments / curly braces. I have no idea what point

The java apache commons example uses methods named escapeHtml and unescapeHtml Seems pretty sensible. How is that not support for the claim that php's method naming sucks by comparison?

I think you misunderestimate the spam cannon that is Packt Publishing. They'll publish pretty much anything, and seek out authors that don't necessarily know anything about the topic. They've currently got enough titles to

I have both. It's worth mentioning that, unlike a lot of technical ebooks from other publishers, the No Starch ePub version seems to be well-formatted and totally usable on a e-ink reading device (Kobo Aura One in my case).

The Linux Programming Interface by Kerrisk is probably the best book of its kind. Even better than Stevens' Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment, although obviously linux specific. https://www.nostarch.com/tlpi

No, we understand that use case. It's just usually indicative of code that can only be understood by running it. Good statically typed code can be understood by reading it.

Those numbers are accurate for the U.S. Possibly even a little low for the Facebook / Netflix / etc tier.

Probably not, at least until people stop conflating "has first class functions" with "avoids or tracks mutation".

Telling someone they lead a sheltered life isn't the same as actually answering the question. What actual systems have you worked on that were connected to a database, but couldn't send UDP?

Serious question - what platforms are you working on that you can't send a udp packet that looks like "somecounter:1|c"

That's not really accurate either. val foo: Object will always return the same reference, but the state of the referenced object may have been mutated, which isn't what I'd expect when you say "always immutable, really&q
