I get your point; GO is a low hanging fruit from the marketing point of view: it is a smart business move; because as we all know markets as well as societies have a strong inertia in regard of consumed products. But that doesn't chang

You are mixing pears with rocks. I never bought a NES or these ROMs and I can still play them in this webpage. Also that just because you bought the original product it doesn't give you a livetime access to other future products or a l

The more I read these things the more I believe that contract systems like clojure.spec and strong type systems/contracts like ADA were too much advanced for its time... golang is just above the stone age of programming languages... be

That's just piracy in the name of a technically interesting project. And just because everyone has ripped of nintendo it doesn't make this one a legit use of it. That could be a perfect additional business for nintendo using their

As someone else just mentioned it seems to be not true, I heard that long, long ago, and I never questioned that again. Perhaps I really heard that when I was in grade school because I cannot even remember the moment I learnt that “fact”

I am not sure whether the name "Nile" was picked because of the "Amazon" river or because Nile is a symbol of being the only major river flowing from south to north. The former would be mundane, the later a great metapho

it is very interesting to see an actual implementation of such kind of compiler in a set of logical rules. I see in the reddit link that there are implementations in other languages but everyone seems to be an expert in the languages they a

It is actually quite hard to keep up to date to many open source projects: issues, new features, and the whole are of knowledge it works on... if they really need to take another direction and still want to keep the framework that would b

Elixir does not market itself just as a functional langauge but as a niche language for distributed systems which happens to be functional for very good reasons. As opposite clojure markets itself as functional in spite of having many eleme

I would say those ones are not marketed as functional, but they do support functional constructs; same as JavaScript. Elixir for example does not market itself as functional but as a niche language for distributed systems which happens to b

I didn’t write that with an agenda, I wanted to point out this data analysis which is a common topic for the HN community; unfortunately I could only link to the top the page and not just to the section. Actually I use FP languages in my fr

Unfortunately I could not link to the section which actually shows this data. I though the topic of FP and market share is relevant for the HN community where FP is often a big topic... the rest of the article is programming languages witho

TL;DR read the title and the last paragraph.

Even if I get your point, I think your comment is still an unfair comparison:the kind of processing activity is different in both processes, also the system and platform requirements etc also the requirements on the data, if some Facebook p

Software engineering is a whole discipline with several stages, it is mostly technology agnostic for most of the process. There are even people who say that all technology choices are just implementation details, and I do believe the same i

Please add 2012 in the title. Also this was previously submitted without comments. The topic was old... but I am glad someone commented on the downsides of implementing your own language/tooling and what happens next to the team; for e

And is via Ads the way you distribute workload across devices? Do not call that distributed computing. Actually I prefer to ignore your practices. > Then don’t be wrong. Whatever, the pound for you if that makes you happy.

Engineers usually have more fun rewriting everything in “that new shiny tool that people is speaking about”. Managers enjoy avoiding conflicts. Very rarely someone in a position of power will point out to this kind of solution, which anyway

by nudpiedo 8y ago
Still do not get how you leverage these billions of devices as workers for a distributed workload; it is by all metrics suboptimal or mediocre compared with any other programming platform to distribute workloads. As customer end-point we wo

None of the things you mention are exclusive or innovated by JavaScript by any means, actually everything you say exists since computer networks exist; are you maybe mistaking internet with web? JavaScript only excels in one aspect: the siz

if you push your design to the limits of scalability, then you gonna hit a wall at some point (IO, memory or CPU) and as long as your application is not based on CPU intensive calculations (simulations, calculus, ...) most of the time IO is

I cannot distinguish this story from a made up one. If someone wanted to make it up it could have not been worse. EDIT: unless personal boundaries would be trespassed.

Since I've lived, almost to the letter, a few times many of the scenarios detailed here, I cannot upvote more this post. My question now is: is there any company mid-big size not guilty of those sins? Does it even exist or it is an uto

I wonder how this kind of project can be tested in order to ensure the correctness of the use cases and error cases. does anyone know a resource to learn more about testing in this kind of situation? I hope there is an alternative to just t

Everything has a baseline cost, also in matter of time... no matter in what area we are speaking, side businesses or side hobbies. Even when delegating we have at least to manage part of the work.

you mean bringing code which has not been cleared as secure & authorized by corporation's legal experts? BigCorp makes all those easy things hard (usually after lessons learnt).

I am totally with you... I think we are going backwards in technical choices just because some people had pain-points learning pre-existing technology or did not know how to deal with infrastructure. But if people pays for it, it is a marke
