The amount of ressource can't be compared. Hundred of millions have been poured at chrome, ie and firefox. The best specialists in the world in the field of interpretters and JIT worked on them. For years. The Python projects were most

Dumb was not used in a derrogative way in this article. As a long time Pythonista, I find the article quite balanced actually.

The heat we produce in oil motors is what makes them work, but it's also what destroys many components. I don't pretend life has been designed or not, but it doesn't look stupid to me: in a relative world, everything is a com

Don't downvote OP, it's a very legitimate question. Medias tend to represent everything as black and white, and so it's easy to get confused, espacially since people will tell you everything then the contrary depending of the

Moderation may not suffice. I'd say Dihydrogen Monoxide is very dangerous given it's a colorless and odorless chemical compound so not always easy to identify for the layman. Yet we can spot it in great quantity in most food despi

You can't at first, but you don't need to. You just write normal code, with regular unit tests. Once you are satisfy, you can start playing with optimization and see if things break or get faster. Things like monkey patching and s

You could support markers stating "I swear this part is never going to use those dynamic features", disabling them for you and others. E.G: I have no problem putting a few annotation telling Python I'm not going to and allow

Other systems address that by providing a <template>, # include or {% block %} element that allow you to state where/what things should be inserted. I dislike the attribute way because: - attributes are used for everything. It se

If you dislike JS in the first place, having it also into your presentation layer isn't seen as an advantage. Plus, many people consider the presentation like something that should be limited and stay that way. Having a turing complete

Not internet related protocols. Human related protocols.

Nothing does, 5 millions __concurrent__ user creating and sending new data in real time is huge. Not to mention video and sound.

For once I feel like the military could help: they probably had similar issues in unrelated fields, and may already have a organisational protocol to deal with those. Maybe we should ask them.

Usually people in harsh environnements. If you have to play monopoly, and somebody cheats, you have 4 choices: - loose. It's not a game you can win by skill - stop playing. It may very well be a terrible option for you. - call for auth

Actually I tried the other way around: never being a jerk, never lie or cheat. But I couldn't manage: people take advantage of you and you get frustrated. Now, building strengh, characters, and participating to alternatives to the stat

While 5M concurrent chat users is definitly a massive feat, it seems to me that it's kinda this tech (Erlang) very sweet spot and not being able to do so would have been disapointing. Or am I missing something ?

When I was in my twenties, I realized it was easier to get laid by being an asshole, so I did just that. After a while, it hit me: this strategy made me deeply unhappy. With time I observed a lot my mental process, mood and behavior, and I

What's the point of doing this instead of just a regular directory with a metadatafile and zipping the whole thing ? That's how most modern document softwares do it, including MS office and libre office.

Start ups will give a chance to junior with a weak resume if he/she can demonstrate skills. You may very well end up with a mission above your skill set as well, and grow because of the challenge and responsability. Less bureaucracy an

Yep. I forgot NH is mostly american, and they don't use the metric system. 1m in Europe would obviously be one metter, but 1M one million, and 1min one minute. I'll avoid saving a few keystrokes next time, it's not worth it.

Some DSL are success stories (SQL, HTML, CSS, etc). But most DSL I encountered in the wild were terrible: no community, weak tooling and documentation, plenty of design mistakes and limitations. And there are so many in the shadows of the c
