So in essence this is an attempt to be a facetime competitor?

Or maybe one on the side of your phone, but forward facing?

I went to a class on startups once where the guy there said you should bounce your idea off like "100" people, (basically, to pivot early). Before you go "great guns" on your idea. FWIW, not sure how that ties into &qu

It would be interesting to see some benchmarks from each version... :)

Mail-ins are accepted "over time" as it were. Which apparently doesn't help LOL. However, it might be nice to have multiple days (or strictly mail-in, as my city now does) to be able to avoid those long lines, those can be

what's the penalty for not?

Isn't "setting up your environment" pretty much a one time cost, though? In my head at least, losing a couple days up front doesn't matter as much, it's the time after that the needs to be optimized. But maybe t

If it's like Cassandra, then you can kind of get around consistency problems by, for instance if you have a "replication" factor of 2, by instructing it to write to "2 instances before returning" (and then you turn

Honest question: do any readers here really order from walmart.com ? I am surprised they sell much at all, based on how much I personally have ordered from them (never).

It does have a reputation (for me, anyway) of possibly being cheaper. And tons of reviews online of people having poor experiences buying from it. That's the rep. it has for me so far :) It does have a cooler looking website than wal

Adobe did buy AEM "when i was little" (you know, for like 20M or something I have no idea) and it has grown to 10x as much. However that is purchasing a smaller company...kind of like venture capital investment I guess. there se

I figured out what is going on here. Walmart thinks to themselves "we want to be like amazon, we want to be huge online" and then jet comes along and is something of an almost competitor to amazon, so corporate thinks "oh we

Seemed like the founder worked hard to make it a nice place to work. Maybe they just like working there? :)

Never underestimate the dumbness of walmart corporate LOL

I don't think they're afraid of it, more like haven't gotten around to it would be my guess...

by rogerdpack 10y ago
what would you rename rails to at that point? :)
80.
by rogerdpack 10y ago
probably the ruby syntax (built-in regular expressions) and whatever else. I'm not sure on easy embeddability as well.

sounds more like the ecosystem for windows support is slow. Or were there some stdlib's useful for it in go on linux?

I don't think it aims to replace ruby (they don't even claim any kind of "compatibility" level with ruby, more like "inspired by ruby" I would think), but...I wish it would replace it :)

Apparently it entered the TIOBE list recently, so perhaps it will gain some momentum.

I think it's target is more along the space where "go" is, as little code as possible (like a scripting language), but still speedy. So in true scripting language form, you don't have to worry about collecting your obje

Are you saying the GC is as fast as C? I bet it's not. That being said, the programs I've built in crystal "feel" very fast, here are a few random performance tests, if you're asking about overall performance: http

Yeah while it passes you can't turn left. Assuming there's only two lanes in each direction. But only while it passes :) In terms of beating BRT, I guess it avoids the requirement of a busway?

Or maybe the drone could drop it off in the back yard instead, or what not?
