I must say I don't completely understand his point. What comes in the place of messaging middleware such as RabbitMQ? Even web "2.0" applications still need to send each other messages, both synchronously and asynchronously. For example, to

Yes it depends. There might be legitimate complaints that arise when you "have to stare at it all day long". I'd take syntax complaints from people that have used a language for a long time far more serious than syntax complaints from peopl

I seem to remember Qt Creator does add const and & symbols, not sure though, and cannot check at the moment.

No matter how you try to dress it up, it's simply a matter of (dis)taste. You may not like certain comments, and other people may not like some of your comments. And "that keeps the women away" ahum, so women are now suddenly a group that n

I'm all for freedom of self expression. Yes it means there could be a bad joke (damn you!) here and there, or a comment that is edgier than it should be, but hey we're all human... I do not believe creativity can thrive if you need to sanit

The feature that people confuse with anonymity is that everyone can create a wallet and join the network. No need to sign up or provide personal information. Hence the myth. When careful enough, bitcoin can be used anonymously. But the d

I've yet to see any other form of western activism that is as disruptive as leaking/hacking I think that nails it. These days, the internet is the backbone of our world. There is no form of activism more effective than taking control of o

That's why it would be nice (as the grandfather post says) to streamline business and labour laws so that would be easier. It could happen as more people move to that kind of existence. I don't think he denies that the red tape is currently

Not having to keep a seat occupied in the office 5 days a week 8 hours a day also makes me happy. Also, I suppose people that work from home are satisfied with their job exactly because the job allows working from home. It's not that common

Yes, but in practice it frequently happens that you refer to records in various different places. Either client-side in API-using software, or in a completely separate database, etc. In such cases, "Update all references in the world" will

I just wanted to say you might be hellbanned, it seems all your recent posts (after this one) are dead.

I also found that particular sentence really strange. "How to get C-like performance in java? Buy more servers!". Yeah, sure, but that approach will work for any language. With async you could handle even more connections with that larger a

I believe they solved this by forcing users to identify if they want to login through tor, isn't it? The account needs to have been created through non-tor means (ie, normal SSL). So they can still ban the creator if someone abuses the netw

"should be", yes, let's move our problems to the hardware guys. I'm all for it. But hardware takes long to develop (if practical at all; a hw implementation might become to slow and expensive), and even longer to be mainstream, so I don't

But even in dataflow architectures (for example, the float4+float4 example) there are places where you want the different paths to meet. That's where synchronization (a barrier) is needed, as both results need to be available before the ope

What other side is there to "parallel programming"? How many cases of parallel programming are there, in which you need no concurrency and synchronization at all?

It's future shock, pure and simple. They get frustrated by what they don't understand, and express it in terms of violence.

I was not specifically talking about the case of the article. And I did mention your case in my post; you might not care about the back end (algorithms, bit/byte pushing, compilers, etc) but it is important anyway. Your pretty UIs for helpi

I don't care so much about the hardware as long as it does its job and there are no crazy wait times. Having good and recent software on the other hand is very important to me. I simply hate having to put up every day with bugs that have be

I think he misunderstands the command line. If you have tasks you need to do a lot, such as compilation, committing a change, and so on, it's easier to use a GUI or key shortcut. There is no "badge" in typing "git commit" or "make" as you k

Right, I've also seen this and wonder where it comes from. I think it's part of them acknowledging that knowing about computers in this age is very important, and feel that they should learn more about them, but are reluctant due to time co

Well maybe the 2008 recession pushed companies to automate the jobs to cut cost, and made that people that were barely holding on to their jobs now are jobless. The underlying structural issue didn't show up all of a sudden - it was there a

I'm seeing this a lot, lately. People that are hell-banned for no apparent reason. I think this is very unfair... When you get a message "you are banned, go away" by accident you can at least contact the admin and argue against it. Now you

Indeed, they'd cache the [A,B,C] case as well as the [B] one separately, which does reduce the effectivity of caching if there are many common assets and combinations. However in their case the set of images is (supposedly) wildly different

He's conflating two things; yes, there are a lot of good and cheap engineers in India. And yes, doing what the customer needs is important. Conclusion: the end of the engineer! It's more like "the engineer is dead, long live the new enginee

It's exactly this that turns me off from functional programming. Instead of wondering about different kinds of recursion I'd rather just write a loop and go on to the next thing.

I agree that a lot has changed since the 80's and most of it is commonplace and 'invisible'. The world has changed a lot, and is about to change even more. But indeed, the TV format can't really show that effectively. And hey, helicopters a
