While I do agree that monogamy is a simplistic view, the view you propose is equally simplistic. While polygamy is potentially more rewarding than monogamy, it is also much tricky to get right. Given how many people struggle with monogamy a

With all due respect, "the reasons he heard" are bogus. The only reasons there is no preemptive multithreading in Node is just that the V8 interpreter is under GIL.

Probably much much less. My municipality (in Belgium) is not considered small in any aspect, and yet it actually consists of three historical villages. My grandparents have a house in the southern of France, and that village/municipali

> Today, Go is the language of the cloud [...] Is that true? First time I hear of a dominance of Go in the cloud. (And what does it mean anyway -- any distributed app that runs on the cloud, or cloud infrastructure... such as?)

It's a clean state reinvention of the computing environment (it's software component at least). That by itself might be a good idea, but if you're going to sell people on your project, you need to give some rationale / o

"non-accredited investors". Compared to some so-called professional investors, they only lack "credits" if that word is taken to refer to currency.

Basically, in some views the sorting is by the first message in the thread, while in other views it is by the last message (that last one makes more sense to me). Even more surprisingly, Inbox (by Google) sorts everything by last message (l

It depends of how you define OS. But OS as in how it is meant for Fuschia is really something the user doesn't get to interact with.

The OP literally said he couldn't understand the words . Jargon is also not something that is necessarily language-specific (I doubt French or Spanish speaking EVE players use different EVE jargon).

"it was a proof of concept, not a commercial product" Within that distinction, lies dragons. The issues I have with existing systems are divided in two categories: bugs/issues/not being polished enough, and conceptual in

Google can't get Gmail to sort mail properly. Amongst a thousand of small grievances I have. That may seem quite irrelevant, but if I'd like someone to reinvent the OS, I'd like it to be people that have taken a stance in fav

For all the respect and admiration I have for Alan Kay, I think he's often showing a lot of bad faith. His ideal vision is always described in very abstract terms. If he took the care to write it down precisely, what it should look lik

At ease soldier. That was exactly my point: C++ has much more stuff than Java and C#. So saying that C++ has Java envy seems weird.

At this point (and I suspect for a long time), the only thing C++ hasn't that Java and C# have is garbage collection.

Predictably downvoted, given the wording, but my intent was not to slight anyone. I'm genuinely puzzled about what could be so impenetrable to a fluent English speaker. I'd love to hear about it for that matter. Probably should ha

If you couldn't make any sense of any words, you're not out of touch, just not very literate in English. There really is very little jargon and most of it could be used to describe historical situations. And as someone else mentio

How learnable is Sublime? - Is there a way to lookup documentation while using the editor (contextual help)? - Is there a way to access most features without key bindings and to learn the key bindings while doing so?

Why Sublime over other text editors or IDEs? What are the deep conceptual differences, the strongly held opinions?

I'm actually disappointed by how meta that is. And puzzled by the fact that I'm that reaction.

I think you're confused about the "heterogeneous tree" parts. All implementation of Node have different children, held in different fields with different names, and varying in numbers. This can't be simplified by inherit

I'm not seeing how I can use some generic tree class without adding code for each Node subclass, which is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. At the least, I'd have to populate the children list of that class (which is more or

Indeed, code generation was going to be my permanent solution, until this turned out fast enough not to bother! Seems like I'm doing fine by xkcd, at least if you remove the time to make a simpler version for the blog post =) And the l

The subtext is that many of these children died from lack of proper care. That's what I have heard, so don't quote me on that. Some simple searches should unearth a lot more information.

Are they? I have a deep seated feeling that this is a troll question: does the author himself really believe that coarse language hurts? Does anyone believe that when they stop and think about it? Not every statement should require extended
