If you aim for slightly larger projects and efficiency, you'd need at least a DAG (because that's the fundamental nature of a dependency graph). You can find a nice explanation in the "tup" build tool, although there are

I applaud the effort, but is "pure /bin/sh" really a good feature in today's systems? To my knowledge, today every Unix system has Python, usually at least 2.7, if not Python 3. Some even replaced most of their syst

While he says a lot of interesting things, it is too bad he is really just sitting and talking. No slides, gestures or any other facilities. Those would have brought more structure into the talk, making it easier to follow - especially for

If the audience isn't even technical, isn't that even more a sign that more effort should be put into the presentation, especially for a keynote?

This is mostly a US issue, though. In many European countries, for example, you can get a decent education without being left in large debt. I prefer to live in a society where, when in doubt, people are usually more educated than they actu

The title is pure link bait. Why not use the original title "Tech Jobs Without Degree"?

EDIT: Why all those downvotes? Are famous developers not supposed to criticized on HN? While John has a lot of interesting things to say, the presentation is awful, almost an imposition to the audience. There's not a single slide, or a

Not sure if you've ever actually been in academia, but on any type of publication (paper, thesis, etc.) it is very well understood that title, abstract, introduction and conclusion are "for the masses" while the rest is for

One possible solution is to the same what XMPP did on XML, or JSON did on JavaScript: Define a "safe subset" of SVG, and stick to that. Perhaps use the "safe subset of XML" as a base (as defined e.g. in XMPP.) Use a libr

Pardon my ignorance, but aren't these patterns just composed of certain tiles in rows and columns? This is something you can do equally well with raster graphics, so what's the gain of using SVG here?

Thanks to a3n and dllthomas for your attempts to explain this. I realized that my question is better suited for SE than for HN: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/q/355203/69228

Moreover, "moving data around in memory can be very time-consuming" means that in the end, it is still about time, not about memory. So the correct way would be to translate memory access to time, but that means modelling the memo

I just wanted to also add a JVM-based language to the list, and Kotlin is the only one I'm aware of that plays remotely in the league (in terms of language design/quality) of the ML languages.

I never understood why they chose such a hacky language (an a VM model that encourages these kinds of languages), and expect people to write supposedly secure (in the sense of: obviously correct!) code with it. Any remotely popular function

Not sure what this nitpicking is good for. For the moral argument, I don't think it makes a difference which part of a human's mind is the product. This is like saying: "He didn't run him over - only his legs!" Or,

This can't be said often enough: Scaling is a luxury problem! It is far more likely that a company gets a "small", stable user base that provides enough income, than it is to become the next Google. It doesn't make sense

This is true in principle, but only if the resulting function is still differentiable. Each loop or conditional can make your function non-differentiable, perhaps in subtle ways. Of course, this can also happen in "pure formulas"
