It is a surprise that Audible is an Amazon company. Will the launch of this service create self-competition?

It is like a paid pass to amazon's selected digital library.

That is definitely true. On desktop, google is the ultimate gateway for everything, while on mobile I would be more willing to open individual apps for specific things.

My college programming intro class is C++, which IMO is a total nightmare. It is not that I don't agree with your point, actually I think It makes perfect sense. Eventually, anyone who considers him/herself as a serious CS student

Python is definitely more friendly than those you've mentioned. I think as introductory courses, the number one goal to achieve is to get students interested, rather than throw every possible details at them and intimidate them away.

AWS is a ecosystem. While I agree you point that on the lower end Amazon will lose some of its hold to the more cost-effective solution providers, IMHO, it is not facing that much pressure from GAE/GCE, for the reason that the latter i

IHMO, PyPy isn't a strong counter-argument for Python's slowness. Yes, PyPy is probably faster than CPython. But what then? In most cases, CPython is THE PYTHON. PyPy is still in its early age and has a lot to demonstrate itself a

So how about starting from introducing a reasonable JIT into Python? Does anyone know why BFDL opposes to the idea of having a JIT, like Psyco?

This looks interesting. Will it come to US?

What really makes a difference is that, in China, online gaming is really huge, possibly the biggest cash cow for most of internet companies. This makes language like Go and Erlang really popular in China, for their performance in concurren

In realworld, people barely use "MapReduce", they use a high-level wrapper, that provides a more friendly user interface similar to SQL, like Hive, and to a lesser extent, Pig.

Same confusion...I know there are bunch of open source projects built using FP became popular recently, like Storm. Still, as far as I know, the work horses in some of the biggest firms in the industry are those not-so-FP languages, like Ja

It kinda remind me of the old Google that before Larry Page takes over: offers that may be not profitable in its nature but interesting and really enlighten your imagination.

It actually "compiles" into bytecode, then consumed by the interpreter.

Small ones as Py3, doesn't deserve a major version boost. It simply doesn't have that much to offer.

It is not entirely true. The GFW did offer protect to the local companies from the western giants at the very beginning. But this is just a side-effect.I don't think that is because the CCP government prefers to sponsor the home-grown

I am curious about how this thing compares to something like Amazon Redshift. Briefly skimming, it looks pretty similar, except for the data compression part, which uses RCFile. It also supports more data types. If this being adapted by red
