I think this thread poses very interesting ethical questions. For a few reasons. Is it ok to go into other open source projects and tell them what to do? To quit their project? Is it ok to misrepresent your project to other people in this c

In python, you could type it fairly loosely. Which is more readable, and also helps you catch errors. There's not so much coupling. from typing import Callable, Iterable def filter(pred: Callable, xs: Iterable) -> Iterable

You can invest in renewable quite easily by purchasing your power from a company that supplies it. It doesn't even require capital or much risk. Often they also provide cheaper power than the big players. The one I use is cheaper, and

Yeah, I think you're right mostly. However, my main use for this so far has been for old python 1.5-2 programs (some 15 years old) with not much typing at all. Adding limited type information for methods seems useful for helping the st

Very interesting! I don't think the paper mentions type tracing combined with static analysis, property testing, or AOT compilers however. Do you have another link with more info? I can't seem to find it anywhere, and am keen to h

I think these slides describe it best. https://www.pgcon.org/2016/schedule/attachments/414_queues-p... Page 34. The key is SKIP LOCKED, so you do not try and grab an item off the queue which is already locked

Author here. Yeah, pretty much everything in the article is an anti-pattern. However, people are doing these things, and the implementations are correct, and perform well enough for us. There are downsides, and dragons... beware!

Used it for 10,000+ document and 1 million document projects. Was good enough for me (but I guess I wouldn't have written the article if it was bad). I've also used Elasticsearch, and I reckon that's pretty damn amazing. Anyo

It's always been an international community. People in pretty much every country are doing some pretty amazing stuff. A lot of it you won't hear about if you limit yourself to press releases from venture capitalists.

Yeah, mobile phone apps which care about data are what you need to use. eg. use the gmail app instead of the gmail website. The opera browser is the best for expensive data general web browsing. Then you set up traffic limits. The main way

Since both of you assume that, we'll assume it's true for the moment. In that case, in order to scale their sales, they have to do it by an industry benchmark unless proven otherwise. The industry benchmark is about linear scaling

Yes, good point. It will be interesting to see how popular they are this year. I also wonder if Office performance will be good enough for most people. I'm pretty sure MS know what they are doing with that, and the answer will be yes.

Performance per watt is pretty good on ARM. Most performance these days is about IO. How fast is the memory subsystem? There are intel chips with 400 gigs per second memory subsystems. But the cores run at around 1.4ghz. Even a single threa

I think python packaging has gotten LOTS better in the last few years. I find it quite pleasurable to use these days. From binary wheels (including on different linux architectures), to things like local caching of packages (taking LOTS of
