For comparison, Finland to MIT: 157ms. I used 18.72.0.3.

The problems with that are easy to see though: you need lots of RAM if your database is non-trivial in size. You also need to write the state to the database continuously to prevent data loss from failures. Not saying the idea doesn't

In practise that dialog can be overlooked very easily. It's practically impossible to not overlook any dialogs like that.

Okay, so there will be conflicts, which brings us back to the original question. >I would consider that "proper" replication in the sense of a replicated state machine. When I think about proper replication, I'm thinking a

So it doesn't support "proper" replication, e.g. the kind where the databases are not connected 100% the time perfectly? And I wonder how they can prevent conflicts due to latency.. Even if there's a 50ms latency, is the

How does it handle replication and the resulting conflicts?

Even back in the 1980s everyone knew that "fifth-generation" programming languages will make programming obsolote. This article seems to take a bunch of press releases and use them to claim that programming is obsolete in a few ye

That maybe used to be true, but these days that's absolute incorrect. A lot of non-Web developers are becoming "web developers", because such a large percentage of new software is written for the Web.

Are you implying that the comment was supposed to be a rational argument?

Every 5 years the concept of the application port will be re-invented at the higher level of the stack.

AIXI-mc can also learn everything about anything. And you can download the source code online[1]. 1. http://jveness.info/software/default.html

Why do you place so much emphasis on what art other people value?

by nawitus 12y ago
Yes, obviously we do that, but after the feature is working. It's not practical to write it before implementing it at least with the stack I'm working on currently. We use Selenium+Protractor for integration tests, and these tests

A more interesting question is whether or not TDD leads to better design or not. Even if TDD doesn't change the difficult of good design, it can empirically affect the level of design. Here's a theoretical example of how that&#x27

>TDD doesn't lead to better or worse design, your testing strategy does. That's an empirical question. Do you know any studies that actually test this? It's certainly possible that TDD leads to worse designs or leads to be

I haven't heard about people writing some sort of scripts to run "against" the real code. Most people do manual integration testing by running the application, and doing some light debugging, and then when it starts to work,

You can't know how the world would look if Google didn't have a monopoly, but instead there would be more competition. For example, advertising would plausibly cost less, which would mean that a million companies would have less e

Oh, that's great :). That happened after I evaluated Jasmine the last time.

I would've built Jest on top of Mocha. It's a slightly better testing framework, especially when it comes to async tests.

But the goal is not to do everything that native applications do, but instead provide features to users. Here's an example: lets imagine it's 2005. You have a native application that stores 1 GiB of data to the disk for caching of

I interpreted the open-source wrapper to be something that receives the media to be displayed in the browser (but this is just a guess).

WeBGL works just fine here (Arch Linux, 64-bit, Nvidia drivers [though my browser uses the Intel card]).

So you're claiming that the quote should really be "The good thing about objective reality is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it"?

The requirement for the item to be unopened is void if the item is defective.
