I agree. I much prefer the more general “All models are wrong, but some are useful" to the “Law”.

As you said It’s great to buy at the bottom, but who knows if that’s it. , so I’m going to continue investing whatever I can each fortnight. I’d rather risk paying more now before a big crash and continuing to invest through the big crash

NodaTime is great, as is the project it's based on JodaTime, which has since been deprecated in favor of the standard library java.time. https://www.joda.org/joda-time/ Hopefully other languages and platforms, inc

Awesome to hear you’re open to this in the future. I hope WASM gets some real traction in those sort of use cases.

Not a perpetual motion machine, but a motion machine, sure. The GP was correct, Matt clearly says it can create some upward momentum, albeit not an unlimited amount.

I don’t see how this post can be seen to be nitpicking. Many of the points are that there is zero evidence to back up the authors claims, while using his scientific credentials as authority on the topic. If the claims in this post are true,

The Fuchsia project has the opportunity to influence the evolution of the language. I think this is a big one, even though they listed this for Go I'm curious if they actually believe it. I certainly don't. For Dart they're

I got a job at a FAANG and still think the interviewing is absurd, and Im forced to work with worse people because of it. No need to imply the OP doesn’t get it just because they’re on the outside of it.

The state of async await tooling is shocking IMO. For anyone curious how bad it was, here’s a StackOverflow post from 2013 asking about intelligible async stack traces in C# with a proper solution not delivered until 2018 https:/&#x2F

Thanks for the reminder, reads much easier on mobile Safari reader mode.

Given the rampant misuse of Microservices, this was a really nice read about a seemingly well designed system. They were able to rewrite their hot spot in a new language without having to rewrite all their business logic in a new language.

“ A downside to this is that the V8 heap can not be any greater than 4 GB as that is the maximum limit of a 32-bit address space. This is fine for browsers, as the heap doesn’t need to be greater than 4 GB anyway. It becomes a problem with

One of the few features I miss when going back to other languages. e.g C# 7's destructuring is good, but it's no where near as powerful and ubiquitous as JavaScripts.

Yes, he’s fantastically accomplished and capable, and I think he could do amazing things in a new area. I’d love to see him take lessons learned from C# for a language designed for WASM from the get go.

This is a great talk, I was struck by how similar some of the high level design goals are to LLVM https://www.aosabook.org/en/llvm.html I kind of hope Anders moves on from TypeScript soon, he’s done a fantastic job the

Do you happen to know why the standard doesn’t use that trick? It always impressed me how clever it was, but once you know it it seems fairly clean and maintainable with no obvious downsides.

These are good points, I agree, while I generally don’t think the microservices I’ve worked on have been designed well, they’ve still offered advantages over the monoliths that I’ve worked on(and yep you guessed it, I also didn’t think the

As soon as Azure became critical to Microsoft’s success they should of seen this coming, it would be unacceptable for any large cloud vendor to not offer a first party deployment service. Having said that when I last used Octopus a few year

I think to be fair even Microsoft doesn’t get this right consistently. For example EF, particularly EF Core has been a nightmare IME. Whereas Dapper has consistently delivered over time (props to StackOverflow for their awesome and consiste

I see functional languages with primitive type systems a pro not a con. We need simple languages like ReasonML more than something like Scala or Haskell if they are to be embraced more widely.

Australia is dominated by Uber unfortunately, I’d hazard a guess they’ve done similarly well for other countries where the competition is weak. The only competition they faced on entry was Taxis, which is to say, no competition.

Many companies are facing winner takes all, so if your failures result in getting a significant stake in your competitions businesses, you’re doing pretty well IMO. As much as I’d like that not to be the case for Uber.

This looks a lot more like an apprenticeship to me than a degree. Which I think is fantastic, Universities are generally terrible at teaching practical skills and fantastic at teaching theory.

As others have said, this is like ECS Fargate but scales like Lambda. Very nice offering and I hope it’s lit a fire under Fargate.

One more factor I think should be taken into account is how much learning people get out of their work. 40 hours of meaningful work pays off tremendously IME, unfortunately it’s quite easy to be doing closer to 0 hours of meaningful work th

When we ran into a similar use case we went with writing to S3 and using S3 SNS notifications and consumers could subscribe their SQS queues to that. Having said that, assuming Pulsar has a similar feature to Kafkas log compaction I can def

Yeah I agree with yourself and the the writer that cancellation is necessary. I’m not sure I agree with the writer that async should handle back pressure. To me that should be handled more explicitly by something purpose built, e.g .NETs Ch

I agree. I wonder whether they end up being language agnostic or not.

The authors point was that it’s hard to separate discussion of modern CPU design from the constraints of C. Not from a technical perspective but from a pragmatic/commercial one. The take away for me was that while C is obviously a high
