Aren't they agreeing with your single bit approach? If so, why does it sound wrong to you?

One would hope.

GopherJS compiles to "readable" JavaScript, so yes. You have to do something like js.Global.Call("functionname", arg1)

Right, so 40 years later we have 100% autonomous cars and use the entire road capacity of 20% more than we currently use. Also more people are driving so we are back where we started with traffic jams or waiting in line to get on the road.

What is the capacity of a road with 100% self-driving cars, and how does that compare to the capacity we are utilizing today? And how could traffic jams not happen? What happens when you exceed the capacity of a road? If you just wait in

In what way do they not scale as well as trains do? I think self driving cars will probably introduce a huge pile of problems, but that particular claim seems odd to me.

I have ridden SF public transit of all kinds. MUNI buses are the worst, and it's not because of things that could be solved with policing. The worst part is the super high variance in door-to-door times, even if you try to plan your

Regular CSV also has that "problem". Being able to cut the file into pieces is actually really useful when you want to, for instance, process each piece on a different computer. Line-delimited JSON preserves that advantage.

On one hand I want it to succeed because it seems kinda cool, on the other hand it could be another Google Glass. At least you tend not to wear these in public, so it's got that advantage.

If you avoid calling c code, you don't have to use cgo, which may be a better reason than "being difficult".

Just download the deltas instead?

In relation to this, user interfaces seem to be designed to have some response time less than some value. For games maybe it's 100ms, for the game console's dashboard, maybe 500ms, for an ATM, it's like 4000ms. I suspect the

Of course we can, but could we manufacture pure solid hubris?

I'm not sure I buy the contrast between old computers and macbooks. The smallest replaceable part on a MacBook is the entire MacBook (excluding any wired or wireless peripherals), but the smallest in a normal computer might be the CPU

Last time I talked with a credit card company, they wouldn't even let me file a chargeback until 30 days after the transaction. How would this stop chargebacks?

How is FastSpring different from using Stripe.js or Checkout? Both claim "automatic fraud detection".

OSv seems like the much more practical alternative. That being said I suspect we will just be using more and more stripped down linuxes and containers for quite some time.

It was a really good comment, I assume there are just a lot of haters around these days.

For anyone interested in just programming, he has a great talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjDsP5n2kSM about "how to program independent games". Much of the advice seems to apply to other programming pr

Could you elaborate how the single repo model causes that thing you said in the last sentence?
175.
by nulltype 11y ago
It seems bad but the alternative (wait forever for groups that don't understand the change and may not even exist anymore to update their code) seems worse.

This is a pretty informative post about optimizing custom python code to do some image manipulations, but if you just want to make images like in the post, a service like Imgix could do a pretty good job and would work with App Engine, no m

The App Engine sandbox is not a good feature of app engine and is removed in the new Managed VM version (naturally in perpetual beta). I've seen people spend a lot of time trying to avoid "using the cloud" and end up wasting

It also doesn't really make much sense. The Go Language Memory Model page is about memory synchronization, not memory management. This article is about memory management, not low-level details of when writes and reads are visible acr

If you think that's bad you should have seen the resistive ones.

Ah thanks, that confirms my theory of why the location is required to parse time zone names like PST. Offsets are probably going to be fine for recorded timestamps, if all you need is the absolute time that the timestamp represents. But ye
