Depends on your timeframe. At the moment anything that runs on the JVM has a decent chance. There are certainly pure Ruby and Python shops that exist now. Hell, there's even a Common Lisp shop in Boston (ITA). However, you'll find it di

As a general rule, if you're trying to build a career in industry, no. If you're trying to start your own company, use whatever blows your hair back.

Ah, then I understand where you were coming from. Definitely did not know that when I made my original comment. :)

by tsally 17y ago
Yeah, I can understand that. I wasn't trying to challenge your journalist integrity. As you noted, it wasn't a controversial piece. I was simply saying that trying for a comment in such a small time frame by email is pointless since a re

In one sense, this is why old print media is far superior to the mainstream online media today. You had to wait at least until the press started rolling the next morning before finalizing anything. A turn around time of days instead of mi

Gotta love tech company culture. :) On an unrelated note, why request a comment from a company at all if you're only going to wait 24 minutes for a response?

It's not the cost of the certificate that's the issue. It's the SSL bandwidth overhead.

Ah yes, a silly mistake on my part. I am hoping that eventually Clojure will help the programmer write parallel algorithms, but you are correct in that such constructs don't exist in the language at this moment.

Companies would rather not spend the money. It's as simple as that. Also, you might be interested in: http://bench.cr.yp.to/index.html

By that reasoning, my complaint was actually useful because in decreased the value of the aggregate. ;)

Witty, but untrue. Seth has some very good articles; I have several bookmarked. However, sometimes Seth just can't resist stating the obvious. He can get away with it because of his reputation.

I wasn't referring to security researchers. I'd be more interested in someone sitting on it as a zero day.

Right, but I expected them to slowly phase Sparc and Solaris out, and offer their existing Sparc customers discounts to upgrade.

Whenever I see a bug this serious I always wonder if it's been floating around in the wild all this time.

I really want to know what Orcale's real plan is. Before the acquisition they have to have figured out some way to reconcile Oracle Linux and Solaris, I just wish I knew what it was. No matter how you slice it, they are competing products

Seth writes something and it get's up-voted because it's Seth. Pretty standard.

Clojure tries to address this problem. First and rest are still fundamental concepts in its data structures, but underneath the hood is properly written concurrent Java code. Hickey wrote it once, and now you don't have to. I highly reco

I really want to sign up for Mobile Me, but there's no SSL support for most of the web apps. I'd rather not have all my data transferred in the clear.

What does one have to do with the other? If I'm going to spend the necessary 20 minutes to compile a new kernel using CK's patch, I want some evidence that I'm going to be gaining something. Ok, I can accept that. For me personally thoug

Very nice. It'd be very cool to have a slider at the bottom that you could use to go back to previous days.

Then how about CK showing up the right ones? Why? It's not as if CK is trying to get it into the mainline. I think the only reason why CK got angry is that Ingo's benchmarks appear to be deliberately chosen to make BFS look bad. Anyone

by tsally 17y ago
The right benchmarks for the stated goals of BFS do exist. BFS is hardly "unbemchmarkable"; the only thing being misunderstood here is the goal of BFS.

by tsally 17y ago
So, to paraphrase: BFS is vastly superior, but not in any way that you can actually measure. From my understanding, your interpretation is not correct. BFS is about latency, not throughput. Ingo chose all the wrong benchmarks. Also, it'

Whatever the actual number is, I'm pretty sure we still suck. A component of this is that we have so much land, but that's not the whole story.

The world is different now. Things rarely work that way anymore. Also, if he were as good of a programmer as jwz he certainly wouldn't be asking for advice.

Just have two external hard drives. I have one at home I use daily, and then one I keep in my desk drawer at work I use weekly [1]. The chances of both failing at once are pretty unlikely. You could do the cloud, but I'm not comfortabl

Well first, don't apologize for a long but thought-out response. :) Virgil is a great choice for examples of metaphors that are well done. Your example is a good one, no argument there. Is the metaphor in the parable as tight as one writt
