It says you have to update the rust compiler on your own: "You can stay current by running `rustup update`."

by sayrer 10y ago
Great! Now use a build system that downloads the compiler too. For example, Bazel will download a copy of the Go compiler if you are using it to build Go programs.

In "Realizing quality improvement through test driven development: results and experiences of four industrial teams", an MSR researcher found that TDD did reduce defects in his study, but also came at a large cost in time-to-ship.

"The classic solution to every combinatorial explosion is modularity: separation of concerns." What is the basis for this comment? It sounds reasonable, but how would one test it?

Seems like a nice system, but would be improved by building with Bazel or Buck instead of Gradle.

that's a fair answer. It seems like there's overlap beyond lack of HTTP/2 support, where some of Finagle's features are handled by GRPC in different ways. I'd quite like to use the GRPC way, since Google is maintain

GRPC. It's really the only practical choice if you have Go, Node.js, and PHP apps that need to consume one central service. It also has a lot of the benefits that Mux brings.

Doesn't Ruby need to break compatibility with its C API to get a good result here? To get a copying, generational GC as in Java, it would need to stop handing out raw pointers.

QActiveResource is pretty cool. It looks like it might leak in the presence of Ruby exceptions, though. When I do this sort of thing, I wrap ruby.h function calls with rb_protect, check the return code, and then throw a C++ exception to unw

I wonder if it bothered pg that two consecutive paragraphs in the Tactics section started with "Empirically,". I wouldn't let that slide, because it triggers pattern matching not relevant to the subject at hand.

This library seems like a good idea. I hope it is or will be based on Joe Gregorio's httplib2, so it gets close to correct. Also, I can't believe it includes PATCH support. Surprising, but good, to see that out in the wild.

yeah, it really would be nice for it to go back toward that again.

I don't know about those Deitel books. I had to use a Java one in college and did not enjoy it. Maybe they've gotten better. Here's Peter Norvig's review of a Python title: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2C7L5KHUVHOR2/ref=cm_cr_rdp_pe...

It's trivial to fix, then? Can this issue be fixed by changing the server? Otherwise this trivial fix will take a long time to deploy.

I don't know why this post is surprising. Google doesn't do any individualized customer service, because that doesn't scale. So they apply the same rules to everyone, including this little video game, and probably legions of Internet huckst

We have a bunch of bugs filed on ABP leaks when other extensions are installed. The author of that extension is very responsive, and I gather we will see progress soon.

It's actually around 10% faster at a bunch of things. :) This includes some DOM APIs and just raw JS perf, depending on your platform. Responsiveness will be improved in a different manner. We are working on a bunch of improvements for late

Hey there. Which extensions do you have installed? We have some problems with a few popular ones and Firefox 4.0. We'll be pushing out a 4.0.1 to deal with this issue.

oh dude, I have one of those lifetime accounts. Last summer, I looked into how to migrate, but I got lost in outdated pages. Can you drop some links in this thread? Maybe you can shut down jervis.textdrive.com if I migrate my account :)
