I didn't get that at all. I read two main criticisms, both of which aren't explicit in the Go implementors' claims but are strongly implied by the language and style: 1) they've solved for Go 2) this is comparatively bet

Do you really find Travis easy to use and configure? I've used TeamCity a lot and find the functionality to be decent to good but the UI horrible. Perhaps a bit biased because I had access to the server and agents in that case. A lot o

The parent comment is a valid criticism of the quality of reporting, especially in the context of the overall standard right now. Claiming a causal relationship is an incorrect summary if the study did not show this. This is a very serious

Neither snark nor downvoting is an appropriate response to your disagreement with the consensus of others. The original commenter doesn't need "punishing" because other people appreciate his contribution more than you.

Makes sense for the title to reflect the article content, but isn't it normal for the measurement to be updated several times after such incidents? I thought it was based on estimates from nearby locations, with full data only arriving

It might help to read a bit more closely. A lot of the optimisations being discussed were already added years ago; the point is that they are not as useful in real-world usage as they are in benchmarks (or, in fact, disadvantageous). JIT co

The author is writing the compiler (and modifying it to make these changes). What do you mean exactly?

The whole point is that there might be more effective alternatives. It's not rational to argue that the alternatives are bad because of things that can happen (in extremes) when the proposed alternatives are not used.

What is the connection between the parent and your reply? Is there something in that link regarding the appreciation given for work done that I'm missing? Do you deny that excessive quantities of work could be (partly) a response to th

This is an even bigger problem in a non-native language. Not just a social issue but hinders learning.

I find this attitude on code reviews to be extremely demotivating, especially on code bases where I am not the primary committer or lack overall responsibility for the system being changed. It completely distracts from the code under review

The video claims that the Python standard library doesn't check certificates by default. In fact, it has done for at least a couple of years ([0] quotes the documentation as saying that it changed two years ago - in 2.7.9 and 3.4.3). A

You normally do not have to disable security features to run programming/debugging tools, contrary to most of the advice you'll see in forums (and sometimes even Stack Exchange). I haven't used dtrace but non-bundled debugger

For sure it gets a lot worse if you have multiple different groups saying different things and you don't know which are the most important or profitable.

The signal to noise ratio tends to be poor though. So many will insist and swear and beg and threaten about what they think they need, or what they used to do, or what they won't pay for but would like to have if it's free and mai

> A startup is usually expected to start profiting after 5 years and Uber is just far from that There's obviously no hard-and-fast rule about 5 years. Other people value companies differently from you and have greater risk appetite.

I think we have quite a fundamentally different view on morality but thanks for providing a thoughtful response. I disagree with most of it so not sure it's worth going through each part ;) Only point I feel the need to address is the

I think the parent's point is that there's nothing hidden going on in addition to the known business model and standard company practices. You obviously disagree with that business model, and that's fine. For the millions of

I'm no fan of AV (I think they've totally failed to improve quality for decades, and now live off of fear-mongering) and not an expert but that seems too harsh. At the time this arrangement was designed, getting any kind of automa

Came here to say exactly this. It's rare for me to be so motivated by design to comment on it - I wanted to read more posts just because it was so beautiful to look at! Arguably missing a link the homepage/post overview at the top

The big thing is not so much the changes that you need to make for Python 3, but supporting both from the same code base. Combined with the fact that this is often very necessary and will continue to be necessary for quite a while (LTS dist

I've experienced power-down issues but only since 10.1. I no longer see a serial number list in the article (likely was between the dates mentioned). The strange thing is that my partner has seen the same issue on an iPhone 5 since 10.

I best way this was explained to me was to keep your unversioned dependencies in setup.py and keep developing and testing against latest. Then when you release, requirements.txt should be a result of the build (not an input) which says &quo

Right, sure. I'm absolutely not surprised that people want to talk about the role of Facebook in society, or fake news, or the algorithms used. And much of that has been covered recently in other front-page articles. Some of them have

Yes, I would imagine people don't generally account for the deaths due to a coal plant when they think about it casually. The grandparent already made some claims around that, but no references.

Last time I checked (maybe a year ago) there was not a single person who had died from Fukushima (the reactor problems - obviously the quake/tsunami had many fatalities). There was one worker who died but the last official stance was t

It's very clear from the context - which you've omitted - that they meant the selection part rather than the mutation part: "random mutation is an important element in evolution, but less important than the process of natural
