I'm pretty good with Spring and have even given trainings on it and I'd argue that Spring's main problem is that it needs to be seen in the right context: a poor man's DSL for declarative system configuration (it is la

They don't yet . I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same as with 'not provided' where they slowly make the data less reliable until they finally just turn it off altogether.

They'll probably retrieve and cache every image as soon as the email is received which would effectively render open statistics meaningless for GMail addresses.

Or they could retrieve every image sent to a gmail address immediately, regardless of whether you viewed it or not. That would essentially render open statistics meaningless and would let Google cripple another industry after the promotions

Feminism is a big field with a lot of different theories; many of which plainly contradict eachother. I'm not really an expert on this but it sounds like you're describing a strict interpretation of first-wave feminism. Second wav

If I'm correct it refers to the preference for men's cognitive style (I perform an action on object X) whereas women's cognitive style tends to focus more on group dynamics (I relate to X and Y through Z.)

The differences in cognitive styles between men and women, both when it comes to sex and gender, are actually quite interesting as an area of research. Just because they're being addressed from the angle of feminism and their focus on

There's nothing wrong with doing a research project to figure out what a gendered/feminist programming language would be like if it were to exist. Perhaps a little nugget of wisdom might fall out like how men and women tend to nav

It's indeed not mandatory. Biking in general is still much safer than in the US though since we have a strong biking culture, good infrastructure (separate bike lanes and traffic lights) and laws that (nearly) always hold the car respo

Anecdotes don't make data but I dislike Mongodb but love Redis. Mongodb seems like a solution that was optimized for a certain performance sweet spot that, post-SSD and huge RAM, hardly anybody ever really encounters and 99% of the tim

Core async is also an example of a very powerful macro that rewrites execution flow; but they do decidedly different things. While Core Async is about powerful non-threaded coordination of processes, Javelin is about creating self-updating

Tooling-wise F# is also a difficult beast to tame. I think I even remember watching a Simon Peyton Jones video about those exact challenges...

Assuming F# is included I actually agree with that to a large degree except for the fact that the division between C# vs. OSS languages is more ideological than anything else.

I haven't watched that part of the video yet, but I've always believed that Rich's biggest blind-spot seems to be about not realizing how Clojure's macro system can be used to rewrite regular code into FRP. Just have a l

It's impressive to see how many runtimes Clojure has already been ported to. I'm starting to get my hopes up for a world where a Clojure FRP core drives apps in a host of target languages.
