This isn’t meaningfully true. The monkey holding the banana is an example of standard practice OO design. The standard practice for developing a suite of libraries in Go (or indeed in any non-OO language) is to decouple them. They can still

They are objects with a reference to the gun that fired it and everything it could possibly interact with in the game and indeed the game itself. How else is it going to have a “shoot()” method with no arguments?

They’re fast moving relative to network latency and the error margins are small (off by a little is the difference between a kill and a miss).

RAM is billed by the hour (or minute?) by cloud providers, and it’s 1GB per process, not 1GB total. If you’re running 20 virtual servers, that’s 20 GB. Moreover, if you’re shipping a desktop app, it’s 1GB * number of licenses. Finally, the

This is really odd. One of the biggest criticisms of Java is that it consumes so much memory, for which the rebuttal is the JVM can be tuned to use less! But no one does this in practice, so I assume there must be a reason that renders the

Good to know. Hopefully it works now.

Last I checked (maybe 6 months ago), it definitely _didn't_ support py3, although it was advertised. I thought I was doing something wrong, but there were half a dozen issues in the tracker that indicated it was critically broken. I un

It pretty much does solve the versioning issue. “Latest, always”. The downside is the abysmal state of monorepo build tools. With multirepos, who updates the downstream repos’ dependency files (e.g., requirements.txt) when an upstream proje

by weberc2 7y ago
There are tradeoffs both ways. With multirepos you likely have a dependency hell problem and you often have to submit and release several PRs for otherwise small updates. With monorepos, (if you want reasonable build times) you have to be a

Yeah, I imagine the test is “do you need those things badly enough to dedicate a large portion of a team’s capacity”?

Presumably there are text formats which are both machine parseable and which are static? Or why not simply use the static subset of HTML?

The fact is that people are being dragged around mentally and emotionally, and telling tens of millions of people to just stop doesn't seem particularly likely to reverse the trend. This is a systemic problem and it demands a systemi

When the Tweet expresses some abhorrent view (like "she deserves to be treated badly because she is $RACE", terrorism apologism, etc) and it garners hundreds of thousands of likes and retweets, it causes me quite a lot of stress,

> Ironically, one of Boehm's use cases is looking for memory leaks. You basically #ifdef Boehm into a test build, and if a GC finds garbage, you know that you didn't free something correctly. So a "garbage checker"? :

We tag each commit with the (JIRA) ticket ID. The ticket has the broader business context, and the commit message is generally shorter. There's still some gap between the one-line commit message and the ticket ID, but it hasn't re

If you account for engineering effort, Fargate is cheaper than EC2. No central logging or log exfiltration to configure, no bin packing apps onto AMIs, no SSH to set up or keys to manage, no configuration management, no process management t

What are you comparing? If you’re comparing a large, HA SaaS use case with a static website on a VPS, then of course the latter requires less DevOps work, but if you hold the use cases equivalent, AWS requires much less DevOps work than bar

I've always been confused by the English definition of "carpenter". I always thought it was originally something like "woodworker" or a furniture smith, but it appears that most native speakers understood "carp

I'm not taking a neutral stance. I don't understand the issue and I'm asking for clarification on one of the points. I'm not passing judgment on either position nor am I asking anyone to "justify themselves". W

I'm not being coy, I don't know what the specific concerns are. I've been quite explicit about this.

In idiomatic English, "or" can imply a dichotomy as you suggest or an incomplete list, which was my intention. I wasn't thinking about the ambiguity when I wrote it, so that's my fault.

That’s not a dichotomy. It’s not an exhaustive list.

I thought postwar America was known for investing in real estate to great wealth-building effect? I’m not sure how worthwhile other time periods are for comparison as our economy is so much different.
