Yep, you are correct -- this is a form of subsidies. Other countries do this (or used to do this) with things like long distance and local telephone charges. Higher income regions (although this is not based on income but on region) would p

I am thinking that the 3 countries you had mentioned are the 'vanguard' of the 'isms' in the western world, not because the populous there initiated these ideas -- but because these places are chosen to be the 'tes

I feel good and bad about this. I invested several years at coming up to speed with Java 8+ (using templates, rx, streams, the new time APIs). It was not hard, but difficult to unlearn some C++ idioms around templates, consts, reference mod

Another alternative, I think is D-language bindings to QT (or betterC which is a subset of D allowes to use D with C runtime library, while retaining D-s class system, templates and memory safety). [1] https://github.com/MGW

what do you think about Org2Blog [1] (it supports math notation as well as integrated publishing from orgmode to wordpress) ? I would like to minimize my learning curves, so wanted to get a performant blogging service installed on a 2.50$ V

very interesting, and useful (including newbies like me who do not appreciate the complexities and dangers of having internet-accessible IP address). I wonder if security-oriented OSs like openBSD could offer something like this out of the

Wouldn't React-native-web ( https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web ) qualify into this list ? It offers APIs compatible with React-native (which is obviously a huge time saver for cross platform UI dev). Its

Very nice. They seem to be tracking React's API changes. The original Inferno developer, I think, moved to work at Facebook. So the new maintainer seems to be keeping the effort well and healthy. It is nice to see same well thought o

I do not have experience with clojurescript or Om. However, I very frequently switch between React-Native-Web, React-Native & Android SDKs. In my view, React team actually -- discovered a paradigm that's really good and workable.

@isakkeyten I would look at a 'crossing' between a functional programming language, and a multi-platform OS GUI toolkit. Because significant portion of your learning/cognitive effort you will be spending on understanding the

this experience could depend on the field of work you are in. Being fluent in statistics/linear algebra & discrete math/category theory -- makes you 'head and shoulders' above others, when it comes to assessing indus

I agree with you, that for the same 'business logic', having it JavaScript vs native, unless you do lots of sorting/copying of data -- will not have battery impact difference. However, React itself (not the javascript engine)

I strongly agree with the 'cognitive overhead' comment. I think, a number of challenges that Redux and MobX are intended to address, can potentially be resolved in more elegant and easy manner with the new (16.3.1 and above) Conte

I also feel that InfernoOS deserves better recognition and interest. From Inferno OS page [1] : >>>..As this is part of the underlying system, all applications gain these benefits automatically. 9P runs over various transport prot

in the video referenced by @aberoham , a the end there is a question to the presenter (Josh Berkus), about the 2 types of replication their deployment tool is supporting. this was on about 33rd minute of the presentation He suggested , that

WRT #2. Data isolation argument. it is not clear to me, why data isolation is your view, is exclusive to microservices. I have build non trival RBAC+ABAC authorization platforms, using PDP and embedeabble PEP, and did not find that it was

I think these are appealing for 2 reasons: 1. There is a believe, that component isolation (taken to extreme by microservices) enables better productivity of the development department. That is more features, more prototypes, more people

The succinctly noted "The tension in any of these systems is between performance and isolation. " Also caught my attention. In my mind it is a bit analogues to discussion about 'microservices'. Although micro services,

Thank you for the quick overview. I also got interested in Lojban. I am trying to incorporate the learning of the language in to some of my routines. For example, for software projects, where I can, I use Lojban named classes, functions, te

would somebody be able to compare this design with Microsoft's topological qubit design? which one has better unwanted interference/error correction potential, also are there any foundational operations that one design could do, b
