   Can you give an example of those elaborate incantations? Parse errors are not the greatest, but they removed the most common error I have seen among people learning to program which is forgetting the semicolons.

   It felt like I was playing Half Life 2 while watching a zombie movie. I guess it's hard to make a recommendation without knowing what this dude likes in games.

   Spiritually it seems to be a replacement for C++. If you're using C++ for something, Rust seems like a well-thought-out C++. If you're using C for something, then probably not, for the same reasons you are not using C++.

   Why does decreased demand indicate that something is wrong? Maybe people don't want those particular goods anymore.

   Yeah I totally trust Comcast to not do that too.

   It sure would be clever if Google realized they don't have to build out the fiber, just threaten to.

   Isn't App Engine no server by the same metric? You could make an autoscaling app engine module with some HTTP handlers and it seems like you have the same thing.

    The new Go 1.5 GC has much shorter pause times. The smell hasn't improved much though.

    TextEdit would be an upgrade. Try inserting lines on a blackboard.

    If it replaces the "coding on a whiteboard" part then it was definitely worth it to me.

    This is pretty much how I view Docker as well. Except it's not really the entire operating system. A VM image is the ultimate static linking.

    I think the real solution might be to reduce the number of classifications, but I doubt it would be particularly popular.

    You'd think so, but if you try the tunnel burritos you can really taste the difference.

    I use makeheaders: http://www.hwaci.com/sw/mkhdr/ It's pretty amazing. If you can't use makeheaders, I prefer the Plan 9 include style where header files are not allowed to include header files: http:&#

    I've heard that the prices are egregious only in bandwidth charges and that other things were not as bad. Does anyone have concrete numbers to compare?

    It seems like renting computers by the minute is pretty cheap these days. I'm surprised more people don't just have one machine per test, run them all in parallel. Testing seems to be embarrassingly parallel in that usually your

    So I'm a little confused about "points". Those are owned by the employee, not the employer, right? Even though the employer pays for the expenses?

    Yeah, looking at the graph in the article is really weird. Wait, you can query 10k phone numbers per second with a single crappy linode machine, why does it need to be faster than that?
