DC/OS is a distribution of Mesos similar to how Red Hat is a distribution of Linux. It includes additional open-source and closed-source components that make running/managing a Mesos cluster and Mesos frameworks (such as Marathon,

It is going to be really interesting to see what happens to cryptocurrencies during the next economic downturn. If their "market caps" aren't decimated then I will be a true believer. I say this as someone who has owns some o

I am sure they've thought of that, but I am not familiar enough with their product to know how they deal with it.

Brave is getting around that with built-in support for their "Basic Attention Token" which will be rewarded to users just for using their browser. It will be interesting to see how it works out. Personally I am just sad that it ta

There are other ad server as API companies that provide raw logs of event data. Even DFP has that.

There are plenty of ad servers that offer APIs for doing that.

I don't find my job to be a tedious grind at all. I enjoy working as part of a team (specifically my current one) and helping to make everyone around me and the business successful. I have had to shift around the day-to-day tasks I wor

That's a shame, since once you understand it it really is beautiful.

I understand the source of your question -- not all languages provide arrays in the included-by-default namespace. Python for example requires you to import an array module. These are part of the standard library in both cases. This makes

arr // [(idx,newvalue)] (//) is a function that takes an array and a list of pairs of indexes and values and returns an array with those indexes set to those values.

Did you see how much Snap was/is paying on infrastructure? It is _insane_. $2 billion over 5 years. The amount of waste that is obviously happening there is maddening.

Hash Array Mapped Tries are what underly the default maps in Clojure: http://lampwww.epfl.ch/papers/idealhashtrees.pdf They are pretty amazing. Of course there are implementations in Haskell now, but the reason they ar

Red Hat, IBM, Fidelity Investments, Cisco, NetApp, SAS, Citrix/Sharefile, Quintiles. They all employ thousands or close to it in RTP/Raleigh. These are just the ones I thought of off the top of my head, I am sure there are others.

Whats up with the name calling and body shaming?

As far as I know that's really not even a "fair" rate in the US at least. I.e. full time employees with benefits can pretty easily make more.

It is weird to me that so many people are getting caught up on the fact that type safe printf has been around forever. If someone has looked into Idris they almost certainly know that it isn't a new concept. I linked it because its imp

Sure, and I know about those. I wasn't claiming that this was only possible in Idris -- and I don't think their implementations are nearly as clean or straightforward as the one in Idris. In Idris, the pattern used to implement th

You seem to just be thinking about low level network protocols. The idea of a protocol in this sense encompasses pretty much any communication between things. This includes web service calls, user input via a UI, transactions between multip

Idris points the way to the future of programming. A few examples that I find very intriguing: 1. type safe printf: https://github.com/mukeshtiwari/Idris/blob/master/Printf.idr 2. compile-time evidence t

Yeah, I feel like they have done an incredible job with that aspect of Rust. Like, they _are_ making a lot of progress, but because of the amount of time spent on developing/informing the community and other non-implementation pieces i

Brains can work that way. It is a skill, and this skill even has a name: mathematical maturity. Basically, after you've been exposed to a lot of mathematics you develop a skill where you can just accept abstract definitions and go with
