We ported a client-deployed command line program from Python to Go two years ago and couldn't be happier. It's solved all our problems around shipping code to customers in different environments. It greatly reduced our support wor

Oh, all the questions accepted multiple answers? Ok makes sense now... then they can't add up to 100. Still the OS question is flawed because multiple answers means it's not their primary OS.

by welder 4y ago
Yes, you can add percents like that because they share the same base. Thanks, that makes sense... accepting multiple values for a "what's your primary OS" question is the problem. Edit: Sorry, I thought you meant only the OS

Sure, but "Of devs who answer StackOverflow surveys, most use Linux" is just wrong. To prove it, add up some top IDEs used that don't even run on Linux [0]: + Visual Studio (32.15%) + Notepad++ (27.71%) + Xcode (10.53%) = 70.

The data [0] shows different. Most devs use Windows as a primary operating system, then Mac, then Linux last. I'm sure devs use Linux servers, but they don't use Linux as their primary OS. StackOverflow should ask the question dif

Actually, you're right I use some exterior smart home things but not any interior cloud based connected devices... except for Google Nest.

I treat the 'if' statement and the '!ruby_dev' conditional as separate entities. That allows thinking of the conditional alone in boolean logic terms, instead of having to consider the outside prefix statement too. There

In bay area big tech, eng titles are tied to levels and if you don't move up then you're let go. Naturally people work hard to level up, which also comes with a new title.

Time for a new open source license specifically allowing fair use for machine learning?

This reminds me of pirating music. Lawyers tried futilely to stop it, but if something is technically possible people will find a way to keep doing it. Maybe you set some legal precedent on fair use with AI, but it won't prevent the re

I would assume most programmers have heard of queueing theory, and I thought most HN readers were programmers. The comments look interesting and it's not against the guidelines, I was just surprised to see it on the front page.

Yea, are we going to see a link to Wikipedia's page for Calculus next? HN is for new information, not wikipedia pages that happen to be interesting but are already common knowledge. Although I guess it does technically fit the guidel

Doctors also say to not co-sleep, but that's the norm in Japan and they have a lower SIDS rate than the US.

SIDS was recently found to be lack of some enzyme, not related to tummy down sleeping. [1] So you're probably right that babies should sleep however they do naturally which I've noticed with my kids was with legs tucked and belly
