If you are using Play or Grails then dependency management is handled almost identically to bundler. If not then Ivy is what is used mostly albeit far less elegantly.

Play and Grails are two on the Java side.

For small, single apps sure. But if you have large apps with multiple Ruby versions then dealing with rvmrc, bundler and gem incompatibilities is a nightmare. Java's forward compatibility is a lot more robust.

"... Java, have you learned to easy yet?" Try Play, Grails, Vert.X. And you know what it isn't easy. Having to deal with Ruby's dependency nightmares.

Right. And those products already exist e.g. GoPro.

She's been in the job 6 months and a lot of changes have been made already. Maybe a little patience is in order ? It took years before Apple could be turned around.

Seriously ? I mean exactly how dull and boring do you want this to be. Given how many people worked on it, are impacted by it and what is represents surely a bit of excitement isn't asking too much.

Those are the use cases ? Are they serious ? Not a single one of those occurs routinely enough to warrant you wearing glasses all the time. I don't understand why they aren't positioning this for more serious markets e.g. education, trainin

>So it's not really appropriate to call Google an advertising company. They are a market maker for the world's information. Sure. If you completely ignore the breakdowns in Google's revenue. It's akin to saying Apple is a music label be

You clearly don't understand Google. They earn over 95% of their revenue from SELLING advertising. The other parts of their business e.g. search, mail, maps consume advertising like other web businesses. You are trying to equate the selling

by taligent 14y ago
So what you are saying is that Google is a talented and large advertising company.

You have no facts to back anything of what you said up. And that "driving around in circles" bit is debatable when you actually see the chargers in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3fO_OHpyYw Oh and that giant, lit up structure i

People have been apparently storing 3TB of data in MongoDB. So I guess it does matter.

It was significantly faster because as was mentioned above the graph ignores the the 17 HOURS it took for RedShift to import the data. The comparison is complete and utter joke.

Kinect was acquired and SharePoint is popular but it really did so on the back of existing infrastructure i.e. it was like an upsell. And I am not saying that stack ranking is responsible for all its failures but I fail to see how it encour

It seems pretty clear that Microsoft's problem isn't with their ability to innovate. It's in their complete inability to get to market quickly, take risks and work together. And that is directly related to their HR policies in particular th

Well it's pretty clear that some exploited the situation because of all the attention around it. But long term I would be very curious to see why anyone would review it knowing that any inaccuracies could result in a PR storm.

I don't even need to think about it. That would be HUGE. The biggest problem with consoles right now is what I call TTP (time to play) which is the time between switching the device on and playing a game. For the old consoles e.g. SNES it w

Problem is that the battle scars from this little fight lie almost exclusively with Musk and are going to persist for years to come. Tesla now has a reputation as being unusually aggressive in defending its position. Which has to be making

So which is it ? Does the editor have an opinion or not have an opinion. Also Musk gave his interpretation of the facts. One person's deliberate deceit is another's innocent mistake.
