The kernel is only one piece of a *NIX system. The userland tools are (mostly) a good example of small focused applications that can be combined in interesting ways.

Thanks for the response. > Out of curiosity, would you say the same thing about Clojure? ... Fair enough. :) What is the largest thing you've written in Eve? I've found that Clojure strikes an amazing balance between semantics
124.
by mej10 10y ago
Hmm, I don't think the situations are even remotely comparable when you look at the actual projects. With Eve, you still have to learn their home-grown programming language. That is non-trivial. If you didn't have to learn a compl

You can do the same style of programming using the ClojureScript libraries reagent/posh/re-frame/datascript. Why not just use those? It isn't clear to me what Eve offers that those don't.

I don't know anything about IPOs, but isn't that bad for Twilio? They could've potentially made double or triple what they did originally, right?

No. Complicated means there are many strongly coupled parts that you have to understand before you can understand the whole. Computer programs tend to be complicated (one sign of a good computer program is that you can understand and work o

> most complicated concepts ever developed I disagree. Much of Category Theory isn't complicated -- it is just really abstract. So you need to have some concrete knowledge that you are going to apply it to before you start learning

That pricing calculator isn't correct. From the AWS Lambda pricing page: Duration is calculated from the time your code begins executing until it returns or otherwise terminates, rounded up to the nearest 100ms So it

There are more and more applications based on it -- negativity increases along with popularity.

I haven't even looked at "Black Screen", but what makes it a monstrosity? It is just a piece of open source software, after all.

Thats an interesting competitive advantage for USPS.

So it is a useless distinction then. If god is omnipotent and anything it does is good... then there isn't any evil. So making the distinction between good and evil seems to not have any value.

This is great! I love seeing how experienced programmers write small programs like this, especially "from scratch".

Yeah, I am sure a for-profit company really wants to maintain a compiler for a minimally used language.

The paper linked says that the most common use of Disruptor only has one producer.

In math ( * ) is a binary operation. ( * 2) returning 2 is confusing to everyone that hasn't gotten used to a non-standard way of thinking about * .

Why not have a service watch for filesystem changes and then upload to S3?

The people using Haskell should write more blog posts about using it in production.

I played around with Squeak many years ago, but might appreciate it more now. What recently spurred more confusion on this topic was Alan Kay's discussion with Rich Hickey during the AMA the other day. https://news.ycombinat

Are there any examples of Kay's ideal other than The Internet? Especially systems that I could actually inspect and learn about in detail, rather than read short stories about.

by mej10 10y ago
Yes, it can be. And if it is a major factor in this case, then there are methods of legal recourse. But instead he says that the judge treated him unfairly due to his race. Literally racist.

If every mistake is going to potentially cost $120 million then you might want to rethink your strategy. I want decentralized blockchain based organizations to work, but haphazard attempts like this are only setting the technology back. Hon
