If you want a different browser scripting language, start hacking on Firefox and Chromium and start a campaign to get it adopted. Otherwise, you are adding unnecessary complexity to apps that are already unnecessarily complex in the first p

It's missing the whole point of interpreted languages. I hate JS as much as the next person, but in the end, if you don't know JS well, these languages will only hinder your progress.

That is why debugging JS that was written in some ridiculous language that compiles to JS becomes quite difficult. The other problem is trying to figure out the fix in the original language which may not be obvious. But this is not a popula

To clarify, such titles as "ninja," "samurai," "rockstar," etc. that are completely ridiculous are quite disrespectful to those who practice the arts that they make reference to. Not to mention idiotic.

So I don't have to be a Ninja or a Samurai to get anything out of this book? ;-) Awesome. The title still sucks. I don't get this idea of (ninja|rockstar|etc) and it's extremely disrespectful to those that practice those disciplines.

This isn't because OSX is inherently more secure but because of the fact that virus/malware makers target Windows more than any other OS because it's the most widely deployed desktop OS. And yes, occasionally having AV software on a Mac wil

Is that why it exists on non-win platforms also?

Awesome post but instead of writing a program to move all the tickets over, a better suggestion would be to follow Joel's advice ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2012/07/09.html ) and get rid of that clutter. I can almost guarantee you

Seriously. Especially after all the Chaos monkey articles. Their Chaos monkey doesn't have enough Chaos apparently or is too stupid to hit load balancers? Shit, that's the first thing I'd knock out!

Yeah, I tried that but it didn't work for me.

CPU is a limiting factor for a lot of applications. And EC2's offerings are paltry until you get into the really expensive VMs. But it's not just CPU, it's the overall performance. Engineers want to run on hardware for many more reasons tha

Yes, I agree. You must build not only for "the cloud" (whatever that means) but for your specific "cloud" provider like AWS. Then you're stuck with them. You can (and should) of course build a bridge to such services but there are some mana

True, but false claims in a post-mortem from Netflix make me wonder if I should retain the service. What they should be offering is credit to those affected. Their excuse that people don't watch too many streams on XMas eve is lame even by

People don't like to face the truth. No worries, downvoting, upvoting, I couldn't give a shit one way or the other. It's just a silly number.

Another language that compiles to JS. Really? Just learn Javascript already.

Those who don't learn history ...

No shit. This isn't news, it's a well known fact.

"Being a non-programmer, I don't have the tools to easily tell the difference." Then you shouldn't. Period. EDIT: It is unfortunate that the types of people (quick learner, genius at a subject) are not considered for engineering jobs usuall

Lots of people are bored. This is the kind of garbage that should stay off HN. A contentless POST. I believe that's a HEAD.

Correct. Probabilistically, I'd say it's the same as long as that earthquake is under the ocean. Yeah you'll get 30M tsunami with a 9.0mag earthquake (most likely, I'm no geologist). So yeah, AWS going down should be something _every_ compa

Or you could wake up at the same time and not answer emails in the morning to achieve the same effect (since it's context switching that you're trying to avoid). Also, I fail to see how this makes it a 26-Hour Day.

Can you explain what you mean? I hardly think C is a benchmark for irrelevance.
85.
by lucian303 14y ago
And what are the exact problems with the current interpreter?
86.
by lucian303 14y ago
Nowadays? C was never a high level language except and wasn't designed to be. Mid-level yes. As in just above asm.

by lucian303 14y ago
Yes, I forgot about B. :) "Ritchie wrote a compiler using TMG which produced machine code." vs Ken Thompson's B compiler that produced threaded code.

Agreed. Too bad we're stuck with Javascript. EDIT: I meant that as a pronoun.

So I have to be a Ninja to benefit from this? What about people in other martial arts disciplines. It seems quite prejudiced. That said, despite the retarded title, I have no doubt that Resig has some good secrets to share. Mad respect for

Unfortunate? Would you prefer to bind that yourself?
