Almost all SPAs do have memory leaks in my experience. I was once involved in Eclipse Memory Analyzer project(for Java, short MAT), and I mentored a student who built a prototype to support JS in MAT. We easily found significant memory leak

Serious question, is it really more difficult fir server side JS? At least you don't have to fiddle around with DOM references. The potential impact on the server side is of course potentially bigger.

With regards to the language. Is turing completeness really needed? google decided for Bazel that it is not desired to use turing complete language (Starklark). I guess the Nix language is turing complete and therefore for backward compatib

Your Makefile is not a reproducible build. You would need to pin all the versions of the tools being used. Also as others have mentioned, Nix ensures that you do not rely on unspecified dependencies.

Nix will not overtake Docker because 1. The overlap is not that big 2. Nix has usability issues That being said Nix even with its usability issues works better for reproducible development environments than anything else (including Docker

Yeah the Latex thingy is a click bait, but otherwise he has some good points

Remote dev environments certainly have a future, especially for larger teams working on cloud software, which usually is deployed to Linux servers. If you deploy on Linux then you should also develop on Linux. With regards to what will run

One problem that NixOS solves is to be able to use different tools on the same host in different versions easily(1) and in a reproducible way(2). Docker containers can be used to solve 1), but they are in some sense overkill and quite a few

Do you have numbers for Nix? I would expect one can put together a fairly small system by specifying only what is needed
101.
by kohlerm 5y ago
Yes, but not sure that is enough value for non developers. For developers being able to easily use different versions of tools in different projects reliably is a game changer

What about number of packages available? Does guix have something comparable to Nix Flakes?

I worked on one of the larger Smalltalk project in the late 90s, an application of the HP OpenView Network management suite. Using Smalltalk was in principle very productive,non-Smalltalk people were always amazed seeing us changing code in

by kohlerm 5y ago
Not sure why you say Smalltalk is concept heavy. There are much less concepts in Smalltalk then in most other languages.

Air pods (started the trend) are IMHO also are mostly a status symbol. Early air pods would arguable sound worse than 30$ Chi-fi IEMs. Yes later sound got better, but even the old ones were selling like hell. It seems also that people don&

In summary asynchronous programming without a GC is a pain in the a*. That's somewhat expected isn't it?

Pumping the water uses energy, which changes the whole equation.

Yes, those assumptions are very optimistic. If at all it would take to long to develop all this technology before it is too late.

Does that mean cockroachdb or others could implement a Spanner like DB?

He mentions "containers". Anyone knows what he meant?

With regards to b. That seems to be true only partially see https://www.euronews.com/2021/01/22/meet-the-bike-loving-fin...

I ran recoll on a Linux Laptop for a while. It worked pretty well and was very fast because of the index it created.

It was settled by a jury of amateurs. The judge was replaced at last minute, by someone whose wife allegedly worked as a lobbyist for Google. Huh?

In practice they stole the opportunity to make money with what the ART and COM guys had done.
115.
by kohlerm 5y ago
Of course, because really no one except Pavel from Art and COM really knows.
116.
by kohlerm 5y ago
The US patent system is broken anyway, so who cares? It still seems likely that they stole stuff. Google used the same quadtree numbering as Art and Com, that being a coincidence is very unlikely

Yes

That's old news or? For complex projects moving to esbuild from say Webpack is not necessarily easy.

In big companies you will need some global coordination unless you have lots of disconnected products. Trying to build something integrated and ignoring thar global coordination is needed just does not work
