Right, but, if given a choice of what to use, between XML and JSON, I'll pick JSON every time. XML is a complete mess. Have you SEEN it's spec? You can put JSONs spec in a single page. XMLs spec, not so much. Hell, most of the XML

If you read the original, it is aggregated on an hourly based by cell tower, at the Telco level, before it hits the stats department. Also New Zealand did it first, using exactly the same model. The stats department don't get unit reco

Depends on the language. As a Julia dev, 32 cores would be great.

of course picking to use a superoptimizer itself may not be optimal, and so it goes :) I think Don’t you, too, sometimes? As a response to that has a lot more going for it than it first looks like. I mean, I look at it, and the choices I ma

Pretty much. pick something stupid, but good enough. What IS interesting, is that the problems all end up in the same place after a few levels of recursion.

It is great for geospacial. You want centroids and bounding boxes precalced for all the geom you are pushing? Now you can. Otherwise these can be pretty expensive operations.

Only if you are attacking where the defence drones are. An attacker only needs to pick one area and overwhelm it, the defender needs to pick ALL targets and produce enough to defend all of them. Defence vs drones is a LOT more expensive tha

Except it isn't, it's a compiler rather than just a view library. The point is it ain't just a view library, and once you have your own compiler you can get more done.

How the hell did Kotlin end up on the non functional list, and Scala did? Kotlin code tends to be at least as functional as Scala is. If Kotlin isn't functional, then Scala isn't, and if Scala is functional, then Kotlin most certa

We tried to go down the serverless path, but it took WAY more dev resources than using ec2. It is not at all obvious what it just can't be used for. In our case, Julia.

Man, you are killing it with these tweets. This is genius.

Horrendous is the answer :) It is still crazy big, because it still has to include the LLVM compiler in it.

It is, closed loop system are about to be legal in New Zealand, and the pumps the govt supplies will support it. It has just taken time.

I think the issue is premise 2. Real things implies it is possible for it to exist. The moment you can concieve of a thing which can't be real, 2 is invalid.

ok, I'll pop back in an hour and see what happens.

when? We don't know the TO we don't even know the date, may it be more useful to show it after it has happened?

All of the questions raised about generic drugs can be applied to the non generic drugs. Most pharmacists trust the FDA to assure generic drug quality - yes, but also the non generics. Understaffing means there’s not enough time for thought

I haven't been in a company which has done that, but, I could see it happening, and yeah, that would be pretty bad. I think that is a company culture thing, and not a hackathon thing though. I don't even expect to see much of a co

I think they are a great way to have a break from regular development. I love 'em I worked for a company which runs one a year, and I honestly look forward to it. Having a chance to cut loose and show what you can do is a welcome chang

Meteor for me, was really good, and then kinda got worse over time. They started to remove the simplicity of the design, but, that was what it really had going for it.

It would be a good way to vote the direction YOU wanted, and try to avoid the repercussions of it. Who can tell why they pressed that button?

For type I diabetics, that option is off the table. It isn't that they are resistant, it is they don't produce any at all. It is insulin or death for them.

Pretty much this, technically good and not too heavy-handed is a lot better than we are used to from anyone else.

They did that back during the Halloween papers, and their embrace, extend, extinguish phase, and funding the SCO court case. Operating by "us paying them" doesn't stop them doing a lot worse than google has ever done.

I hold high hopes for servo. So much so, I was surprised that Microsoft didn't use it as the base.
