I started on VB. The whole "it rots your brain" argument is complete bullshit - there's nothing to keep you motivated through the hours (years) of work it takes to become a good developer like a programming language that lets

What about creating a new library? It's been a giant PITA for me, especially figuring out which of the 4 major distribution tools to use.

by m0th87 13y ago
I was using OSS only briefly before github, so at that point at least tools existed: sourceforge, google code, etc. But it was hell. Seriously. The use:contribution ratio was totally skewed. Few people left commentary or filed bug reports w

OK, the concept of "abstract dependencies" makes sense, but boy is it a complicated way to fix an edge case. How many times have you had to swap out a concrete dependency vs how many times have you bashed your head against the wal

Any idea why it's failing here? The crawler is successfully fetching the content, but not associating it with the correct URL. Maybe google crawler isn't pushState aware?

US military interventionism spans from far before WW2. The Spanish-American war, the Mexican-American war, the war of 1812, and the brutalities conducted under the umbrella of manifest destiny come to mind.

A fringe party (Le Pen) demanded asylum for Snowden. Big difference between that and a parliamentary consensus.

I use dynamically typed languages maybe 90% of the time, and completely agree. But here's the thing: for most projects - including ones in production - it doesn't matter because the app won't be large enough to not completel

To be fair, you don't just apply and you're in. You have to be in an industry the city wants to grow, and even then it's a bit of a lottery, highly dependent on how long you've lived in the City. The absurdity of it thou

Yeah I think so. Or maybe a homebrew formula. I don't know how straight-forward that is with Cairo though. Thank you for graphite and thanks for being so receptive!

by m0th87 13y ago
The process of getting graphite web up and running on Mac seemed pretty involved since it's broken up into 3 packages and depends on Cairo which can be finicky. When I last checked there didn't seem to be solid documentation on ho

The point is that the probability of the servers getting overloaded is greatly diminished, because they're not blocked for extended periods of time. An external API request can take several seconds. In that time, a framework that isn&#

by m0th87 13y ago
Tornado certainly does. We convert our most I/O intensive bits to asynchronous code, and the server is no longer blocked. Random routing doesn't affect us because there's no long pauses in, e.g. making a third-party API reque

I don't get why this is getting so many points. It consists of a single graph and a bunch of hand-waving. Python doesn't have to be like the ruby community; it doesn't have to have a one-size-fits-all solution. We're hap

Interestingly, important parts of the Linux kernel are proven correct (e.g. the scheduler). But yeah...not the whole thing.

Interesting. I'm so deeply embedded in the web/mobile world that I forgot there are some very real RTOS requirements that drive QNX uptake to this day.

Hurd is one of those pieces of tech that just makes me sad. Performance implications aside, micro-kernels feel so much more "right". It feels like proper software engineering techniques applied to the kernel-level. How cool would

IIRC, unless you explicitly state otherwise, Celery forks for every task. A lot of task queues do this because it becomes a lot easier to recovery from errors. Multiprocessing makes it pretty straight-forward to manage inter-process communi

We're using RQ in production and are very happy with it. We chose it over Celery because the "protocol" is much more straight-forward than Celery - when something fails, I can peek at the state of redis or the RQ source code

If you're making a fairly standard webapp, what does it provide you that, e.g. softlayer or linode does not? How much of AWS' popularity come from it just being a safe choice, like a cloud version of "No One Ever Got Fired for Buying IBM"?

Nice, thanks for the reference. It's also worth pointing out that Go's GC can't do soft real-time because of GC on the global heap. IIRC, Rust has a global heap as well, although it's less frequently used thanks to richer ownership semantic
