At least in my application, views are always bound to either an `m.prop` or an immutable value. What if you tracked when an `m.prop` was updated and queued up a redraw automatically? Redraws would be rate-limited via requestAnimationFrames&

Thanks for Mithril - we're experimenting with it vs react.js for production use. There's a lot of very smart design decisions there expressed in very terse code. One thing that threw me off was startComputation() / endComputa

Also it arguably opens the doors for corruption. Bloomberg ran on a campaign of "I'm so rich, no one can bribe me." If a non-billionaire politician receives the minimum wage, they could be more susceptible to financial incent

The other side of the world is quickly catching up to developed nations. Granted there's still a while to go, but there's good reason to think that at some point countries everywhere will be more or less on an even keel.

Apologies, polymorphism is a loaded term that could mean different things depending on your background. I mean parametric polymorphism , i.e. generics. What makes you unexcited about them?

I thought the debate was about polymorphism. It's apparently not worth including because...? It's not already in the language spec? Because the people who advocate it are using the wrong tool? Surely there's a better argument

I'm not sure how you can create a pragmatic language while ignoring the most common complaints about it. There's this common attitude of "if you want feature X and Go does not have it, Go is not for you." To some extent

You're right, Golang is all about pragmatism, and a very pragmatic thing for language designers to do is to listen to the marketplace on how the language should evolve. Lack of polymorphism must be the most common critique of Golang. I

This is an ongoing debate in science and philosophy, so it's certainly not a meaningless juxtaposition of words. The counter-arguments against Searle's Chinese room argument alone should be enough to put the handwaving to bed.

This article made zero sense. An example: > Look at Fastly, a new August Capital-backed Edge Computing CDN built just for Mobile architectures. A new CDN? Not something we look to AWS and Google for. Yet. I'm not sure how Fastly is

It's not worth relying on IMO. We had some pretty straight-forward backbone views populated by AJAX content in production, and it was never crawled. In general it's very unclear what capabilities the crawler is capable of.

Try prerender [1]. We use it in production with backbone. This combined with keeping the most content not-client-rendered has alleviated most of our issues. In the long-term I'd love to see a web framework that uses react on the server

As far as I can tell, Sphinx has a more involved setup process. Also our search runs against JSON documents, which seems to suit Elasticsearch better than Sphinx. I might be wrong on both counts though, we really didn't look into Sphin

FWIW, Elasticsearch builds on Lucene. It's just working at a much higher level of abstraction.

It was two weeks ago, and our startup was on the precipice of a major launch. We had completely rewritten our online publication site, which drives the bulk of our traffic. The product had to be shipped on-time - we had press releases, eage

For an alternative, check out RQ: http://python-rq.org/ We use it in production and it's been rock-solid. The documentation is sparse but the source is easy to follow.

Isn't memory only shuffled around during compaction? Why not mark/sweep in parallel, then stop-the-world at compaction time?

That link errors out for me. That said, I've never seen time constraints actually enforced in any real way at a hackathon, and I suspect there's a good amount of cheating at events with decent-sized rewards. Multiply that a thousa

I don't even see how the article brings up a good point. A very small percentage of Stanford undergrads are dropping out and starting up, so what? Maybe it's part of their pursuit to work at whatever inspires them.

Then it's a good thing computer science isn't driven by feelings.
