Indeed, it's an issue when interviewers believe that the best candidates will feel a compulsion to test their code without being prompted. I worked at a company that was big into TDD without ever having done it before, it was no proble

Basically it solves the problem a different way than you think. Instead of allowing you to control order, it removes the possibility of order mattering at the system level. Nix and Guix use special file structures to make sure everything is

I'm definitely a lisp fan, but the Nix language isn't as bad as I used to think. The laziness allows for some really cool and clean patterns that work intuitively and simply while still enabling powerful features. Also the syntax

This is a good analysis. A potential option for his proposed build output format is http://nixos.org/nix/ expressions. Nix is already kind of a fusion of a package manager and a build system. It's rather mature, h

NixOS (the inspiration for Guix) has supported something like this for a while: http://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#ch-containers There's even support coming in Nix for building standard layered Docker c

mischanix has a good point. Why not whip up a local native version and use that for feature development and debugging? Then you can just do final QA on the emscripten version. And if it works well enough the native version might be a good o

Because it is based on LLVM and the main LLVM API is C++ based. And no other language has good C++ interoperation. Yes other languages have LLVM bindings, but they aren't as comprehensive as actually linking to the LLVM C++ API. Source

This. The economics and incentives make more sense for individuals to train themselves. Whether that be through university or through side projects. In fact I'm going to university and was taught this in "Comparative political eco

Nothing in this article addresses the skepticism in http://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/the-ubeam-faq/ . Read that document and you will see. The "uBeam FAQ" document admits that it is technically

Did you compile with debug info (-g I think)? It needs to read the DWARF info to get the line numbers.

This sounds like it might be similar to an open source http://www.datomic.com/ , which also stores temporal quads. I'd have to read more to know how they really compare.

One application this could work really well for is syntax highlighting. Textmate/Sublime syntax files are basically lists of hundreds of regexes that have to be matched very quickly over the same content. With this library it might be

Neat project. I can't help but wonder if you could beat the magnet by kicking the handle sideways, the strong impact multiplied by the lever force might be enough to beat it.

If you get really desperate you could try walking into the offices of some small companies and telling them about your situation and then offering to work for below market rates in exchange for a quick hiring. This would probably only work

Seems like a neat product, a mashup of an ereader and a http://www.myboogieboard.com/ with some added web. The initial hero image has terrible contrast and readability though, and the site does too much unnecessary fancines

Yah I found that a bit paranoid. Probably what happened though is that the system is controlled by a microcontroller and it took 3 minutes for some programmer to add that feature for fun, and then some marketer thought they would throw it i

Ooooh signed distance fields, if you ever get a good Rust implementation going make sure to publish it and add a readme that at least says what the code is so that it can be found. It could be great for other rust libraries, apps and games.

Do you have any good comparison numbers from Firefox or Chrome? The numbers sure seem impressive when compared to Servo but I know that Chrome has some pretty awesome rendering infrastructure and I'm wondering how this compares. There

Nix and its companion NixOS are fantastic. Cross-compiling toolchains are the kind of thing that you have always been able to do, it would just take you two days of fiddling to set up. With Nix, one person can do that work and it can work p

Oh man, this is the second best thing I could have hoped for after their earlier announcement today. The best thing would have been also open sourcing their cloud software, but I can see how they'd be reluctant to do that given that it

This is amazing news, if they get it done. I just hope it comes in a reasonable amount of time.

Truffle/Graal are both amazing technologies, I thought LLVM was amazing but Truffle blows my mind. You can write optimizing JIT compilers by actually just writing an interpreter in Java with some special tricks. And Truffle can do some
