I've been looking for a way to replace functools.partial and pool.map with something that could cause me to make bad architectural decisions. This could be the ticket.

I'm bored out of my mind reading HN lately and I'd hope they are, too. (That ad today for the all-girl we-got-board-games thing was just... painful.) So why not keep busy while they wait for the next wave to form? It's a grea

Love the changes. Love the technology. Hate the process, and that's the focus of my remarks.

Look at the way they're approaching Bash on Windows (which was also defended by shanselman in that thread). This is a brain dead, check-off-the-boxes compatibility exercise. Instead they threw some half-baked crap on Github and said &q

It was labelled Release Candidate 1. They really did make a mess of this one.

It's okay. When .NET core RC 2 ships in the next few days, "good." After Azure and AWS ship compliant SDKs and the rest of the ecosystem wakes up, "great."

What is the nature of your data? Is it highly structured, do you want to enforce a robust schema, is it financial? What language are you developing the client in? What other services (if any) are you talking to on the backend? From the clie

They were my introduction to open source -- and, well, let's just say I wish every project were so well-run. One of the best for sure.

Make it a user option -- sites really shouldn't be in the business of globally blocking domains. And then let me add sites to the .ignore file too, please. Anyone got the list of sites HN currently blocks/penalizes/rewards? I

If you up the warnings, you'll even get "signed/unsigned" mismatch if you fail to use size_t with STL containers with gcc.

I did a "make dist" and then tried to untar. It hung two builds ago. This build it hangs -- or worse, the files are corrupted. It's sort of ridiculous. EDIT: Maybe it's bug #313? Anyway the Microsoft I used to know would

That really isn't the way it works. Hollywood spends millions developing a look. If they want to see a mockup, they spend the bucks, because the magic really does come from the human element. If anything, seeing a robot do it poorly tu

This isn't animation, it's painting. And animation is composited in layers so it wouldn't need any of this (poorly done!) scene segmentation. You really think Hollywood hasn't done these sorts of obvious shader experimen

Like the "morph" fad of the early 90s and the Photoshop/Kai filter fads -- I feel like I'm just waiting for a Geico commercial or OK Go video to use this so we can call it done and move on. This stuff kinda looks like cr

If a preliminary test shows something they're happy to run more tests. It's how they make money. ER is triage. If it's not something they can fix with a needle and a bag (or a needle and thread) rolling you in for expensive t

It's not hard to identify the paragraphs in this piece that an experienced, real news organization wouldn't publish. From the headline to the structure, I'm very uncomfortable with this type of material. When the comments t

First of all: software development 101. Is WSL even remotely feature-complete? So let's not call it a beta. I'm not sure why you guys have such a hard-on for Redis, but... whatever. It is clean code that compiles on old toolsets.

Yeah yeah. But does anyone here with a history of building something more complicated than a Rails app want to bet real money that Musk will put a Dragon on Mars AND ship 500,000 Teslas in 2018? He's not exactly known for hitting his s

Something hip like one of the neural toolkits? I guess that would be hard to do since you can't install CUDA, R packages or the JDK at the moment. Maybe run Docker? Nope. Heck, I'd settle for being able to run tar or rar. Those do

I'll give a polite tip of the hat but warn that cutesy redis demos are starting to wear thin. The C++ support in the tools you get after installing build-essentials on Trusty smells like Visual Studio 2010. As for .NET core, you'l

You've been working with .NET core for a couple of years? And found it solid? It was announced 17 months ago and it's been a frustrating clusterfuck to follow, with the product and the core tools themselves renamed at least twice.

App Engine screwed so many people over. First they couldn't get it working. Then they tripled the price. Fuck App Engine. I can't imagine anyone reading HN who'd think this is the right solution in 2016. Even if you want to j
