The C++ vs Javascript example was, wait for it, an _example_. It was a general statement aimed at a general framework. I said in some other place here that C++ is relevant but when it is, it's usually done via in-house library that are

Well, I might have over-emphasize on what is "right". Blame this on the language barrier :)

I'll reply at all the above here. When you have load/concurrency that needs you to move to C++ there's no doubt C++ is right. When you reach that level though, you will usually have the resource to build infrastructure specif

While I still stand by what I said, I want to add a clarification. Some languages are good at some things while others are good at some other. C/C++/etc are good for job intensive stuff that doesn't need fast maintenance cycl

I agree with you: It's a bug and it's bad.

I understand this is not good. I do. But I'm surprised people think entity like Facebook, Google and any other web businesses delete records permanently. It's not worth it on so many level: - People that actually want to retrieve

Well, I write some Go and I agree with OP. As soon as you aren't too sure of where to looks, Google doesn't either and return garbage results.

Didn't see your question. opensprinkler.com seems like a verygood solution. I found it after starting working on my project so I bought a sainsmart 5v relay controller. Doing it again, I would probably buy opensprinkler for Pi

Cool! Go is getting some attention. Project looks very neat. I just released an alpha project for the Raspberry pi using Go for controlling your sprinklers. Shameless plug: https://github.com/pothibo/irrigation

I've used Airbnb to stay in Manhattan last winter and it's a shame that it comes to this since I was planning to use it again. The thing that made us use airbnb was two folds: Having a kitchen was important to us (quick breakfast eating wha

I think thoughtful, detailed guides on how to browse/use code is better than code documentation. Too often (mostly in interpreted language), I see a method that takes a hash as an option and I see that option being passed down to 3, 4 or mo

Agreed! And he also conveniently forgets to mention that computers increasing in power comes from research & technological advancement. Both these things are possible because of investments. Why would someone build a 2b$ factory to prod

Second french example is not a double negation. As for the other french examples, I'm ambivalent.

That's exactly what's moronic with investors, they invest in the company, not in the founders. Unless you made them money, they will ignore you. Until next time you succeed then, they will start following you back and talk about old days ho

You are assuming that spending money is always a better solution than not spending it. I think you are misled. The fact they have 100 billions in cash and not willing to jeopardize their culture and focus is a proof of their dedication to d

That news should make $AAPL drop by 5%. </sarcasm> There's only positive things that can come out of this. A business leader taking it's leading position to put pressure on business that violates human rights.

Facebook completely changed their database infrastructure a few times since its beginning. So has Twitter, Google, Foursquare and many others. While you may disagree with this, there are many living examples.

Well structure evolves over time. Probably the structure would move and you would use redis as a memcache layer (to update counts, notifications, etc). What I'm saying is that databases needs evolves over time. Comparing in-memory storage w
