But it's easy to forget, just once. For example: x => () => {} x(); // undefined instead of empty object This can lead to immediate syntax bugs, eventual errors throws and silent semantic errors. Which rein

If one forgets the (parentheses) you may or may not immediate or later can an error _somewhere_. It isn't about the workaround -- it's about all the subtle bugs it will introduce in the edge-cases, for example: f => () =

But fetch() returns a promise, rather than a handler you can use to cancel the request. So some people wanted to add "cancel" as a third potential state of a promise. Which smells a bit like a hack to me. Why stop at cancel? The F

Yes both have query languages that are not native to your application (i.e. to your application it is data, such as a string or a json). But that is design flaw of SQL and MongoDB and does not apply to all databases.

by ralfn 10y ago
That is wildly inaccurate. RethinkDB provides client drivers that model the rethinkdb queries in Javascript, so data and query are not combined into some horrible JSON query language (MongoDB) or horrible string based language (SQL). Input

Don't assume malice. This would be considered completely normal in China, both legally and culturally. You would a have hard time explaining the concept of privacy to them. This is likely not some big conspiracy.

Its actually easier to believe this was by accident because in China there is no expectation of privacy.

Is it still badly documented and near impossible to setup a cluster? Single node performance is good. Jespen tests are there. But devops says no. After two days they simply couldn't get it to run it in a cluster. So for now we switched

The operators are converted to methods, however methods are 'looked-up' at run-time. Not in a hash-table though, think C++ style vtables. So int + float isn't compiled to int.addFloat( float ) but to int.add( float ) and then

In your logic you equate statically typed and object oriented vs dynamically typed and functional. Object oriented programming is by origin (Smalltalk) dynamically typed. Class based programming languages (which we really shouldnt consider

That's a common misconception about the JVM. Although the language features allow type-erasure, the JVM actually stores the types with the data and uses tracing for optimization. This keeps the compiler output smaller and allows classe
