Several of my friends worked on the bid for south africa and the volume of data they they were talking about is astounding. Another friend of mine is working on the forked nix os that they are building to run all this, very very interesti

I know that one of the teams at my work has deployed a few tools on mono written in F#. I play with mono and f# (nix) and I was surprised with how mature mono develop was (I had very low expectations)- I have not used it in anger however, s

I have been playing with F# a fair bit and I am totally in love with the language. I wish it was a jvm language given that is what I ply my trade on (and no scala is not as elegant imo)

The difference is when I travel I don't take all my cards out with me, I would leave at least 2 backups in the hotel safe and another at home which can get sent to me in an emergency. Realistically imitating this behaviour on such a de

As someone who frequently travels all over Africa, I would want a secure password on this. If this card gets stolen without such a password it would mean the thieves can empty out several of my cc accounts.

on the jvm i would say groovy is probably one of the better languages for dsl's. Gradle is a dsl and groovy has inbuilt Builder classes to help you in the creation of dsl's Clojure being a lisp is extremely powerful in this regard

if lots of clients share data on the endpoint, then a delta invalidates a cdn.

we have been running an indoor aquaponic system as an expriment for a year now and you are right, it is a pipe dream mostly. Lots of fun to be had, but its not a cheap hobby.

Running an aquaponic system is not easy. We have been running one for a year now inside our house under growlights (as an experiment - no way it is economical). a lot is automated with the arduino, but if my wife was not a microbiologist we

Interesting article. DRS has revamped the motto "When in doubt not out" considerably. I also think it has helped reverse swing bowlers (Steyn, Harris) more than pure swing bowlers (Anderson) through the length of the innings. Tes

It depends on what your desired outcome is. Angular is not as solid, not as fast, nor is the whole product as able to be statically analyzed. Longer term maintenance is a pleasure with closure, adding new features a breeze, there are tons o

Flex (for better or worse) is still widely used in the financial space. We started using the full google closure stack a couple of years ago and I am happy about that decision everyday.

i fail to understand why you would want to rebuild everything when using scala, we use it successfully with spring. Or rather just use grails and at least have the jvm. Rails is slow, yes it scales well, but other things scale as well (or

The closure compiler is also pretty slow, a way around it is to keep a warm jvm and compile that way (70% performance increase over time). I assume a similar strategy is not possible for typescript, which is a pity. Typescript seems pretty

I read the statement as: If the dystopian future the gun wielding maniac above is waiting for comes then he must understand that said police officer could potentially have other priorities to protect.

Tree shaking is what you lack (yes I know Dart has tree shaking but its cross compilation has a big result)! I love the closure compiler in advanced mode for this reason.

A hello world in java however has next to zero depedencies. The jvm startup is notoriously slow keeping your jvm warm yields excellent results. Just try it please. Things like nailgun exist for this exact reason. I can't see them port

easy to flash and run own distro on the ev3 as well for example https://github.com/mindboards/ev3dev or lejos if you want the jvm. the ev3 is a fair bit of fun, not as flexible as arduino (obviously) but it ain't

it sounds to me that the jvm is not kept running and you are paying a startup cost each time. Transpiling a bucket load of any language in a warm jvm will be less than 2-3 seconds, and could easily be done on page refresh. to give you some

you are wrong.The closure compiler is written in java. it is a fact of life that you need the jvm.

by lennel 12y ago
this is what I was reffering too, the compilation step. It seems very daft for me to loose the closure compiler. I assume lein keeps the jvm hot, if not writing a script to do it should be pretty simple.

Given the era of its collapse it seems to me that professional bowling missed out on the ride which modern sport packaged television brought. A Kerry Packer/Bernie Eccelstone type could perhaps have had bowling on every screen now. As

It would be interesting to be able to measure burnout rate, employee turnover and just general psychological indicators over time in such a setup. I find creative thinking and critical analysis often comes from engaging in disparate actions
