I did a chunk of the work on the AWS side, and it's not not due to Chrome/Firefox—Google is using Rust for Fuschia, after all. At least on AWS' side, it was some individuals—me included—who sent emails to the right people int

Ah, thanks. Just so happened that I don't have the required admin permissions to enable Actions on the organization I was interested in.

Can GitHub Actions be used on open-source repositories maintained by organizations?

There's some internal builds tools that I can vouch for. If you're still at Amazon, feel free to ping me at dbarsky@ and we can chat.

Speaking as the co-author AWS's Rust Lambda Runtime: there's no fundamental impediment for us supporting Rocket (or any other web framework), but I suspect there'd need to be changes made in Rocket to support how Lambda expec

It's a solid comparison, but I find it interesting that the author refers to Rust/Java/C++ as coming from the “IT World”. I guess the bit about human subcultures being fractal rings true here.

(Amazon employee here, but I have no idea what the SQS/SNS groups are doing.) I always wished that SQS/SNS/Kinesis/et. al. could all be grouped under an "AWS Pub/Sub" brand that encompasses those features.

There were public presentations where Fargate would have an EKS deployment option. (Disclaimer: I work for Amazon, but don't have inside knowledge of the AWS Containers Organization's plans.)

It's a side effect of labeled arguments. The caller would use the function greet as `greet(greeting: "Hello", personName: "Alice")`.

Customer data is sacrosanct within Amazon. Cannot touch it without the customer’s consent. source: I work for Amazon Web Services.

Me too, but I’d I realized that I’d rather the Swift team not half-ass such a big feature, especially when they’re working on ABI stability and translation of Foundation API’s. Plus, I bet one of the things that’s holding proper concurren

I completely agree with you regarding the simplicity of Scheme! But that’s exactly why I don’t think Scheme should be people’s first introduction to programming. You need to give them friendly abstractions [1] that make them realize what i

I love Scheme as much as anybody else, but I’m not convinced that it should be the first introduction to computer science that people have. I think that the goals for an intro class is to get people to enjoy programming, not expose them to

That’s true, but the risks are significantly diminished. As they say, your business model is your destiny, and if have a good business model...

> And lord help you if you have to programmatically add or remove views from a layout at runtime. I disagree with the rest, but yeah... that's a sore point.
52.
by thramp 12y ago
Yeah, it is preference. I found that buying entirely into Autolayout + Storyboards makes for a really nice development experience. And their reasoning makes sense. I totally get why they would avoid constraint-based layout.
53.
by thramp 12y ago
I saw that, but using polyfills for layout give me pause.

by thramp 12y ago
I'd much rather be writing apps using constraint-based layout, much like AutoLayout. It took me a while to grok it, but it's much simpler once you get it.

The thing you’ve gotten wrong with wrong the “design lovers” you mentioned is that Apple’s customer base are entirely those quote-unquote design lovers who happen to be just normal consumers. The entire point of the article is that competin

"Equal opportunity jerk" seems alright at first thought, but when you consider that people of different races/genders have different social standing, it's clear that some people will be disproportionately affected by oth
