Idiomatic means "using expressions that are natural to a native speaker." It's very possible, but not idiomatic, to write functional Java (pre-8). It's often more verbose and difficult to follow because there is no real

Just to be clear, the criticism is of Redis Cluster, which has been redesigned because the first design was so lax it was effectively unusable. The real issue, is that as of right now I have no idea what the exact semantics and failure cond

They handle automatic failover, which redis does not currently do out of the box. That part is pretty cool. Maybe not worth the price, but definitely useful.

The pre-internet version of this is Steve Albini's "The problem with music" which shows how major labels can end up costing bands quite a bit of money. Originally printed in Maximum Rock 'N Roll in 1993, but reproduced here on Negativland's

People who would work out perfectly in the R&D division of SAS Institute are not necessarily great first hires at consumer web start-ups (forgetting the potential skill impedance mismatches). There are lots of implicit ideas about "how

I can't agree with this. It's true that many languages work well as starters, but there are certainly some that don't. I think java is a classicly bad first language. There is a lot of ceremony which will take you a considerable amount of t

Some (potential) context to this is that at Clojure Conj there was a discussion of the potential for clojure expressions to become a standard data serialization format. The idea is that clojure data is significantly more rich than something

I'm at a loss as to how this is surprising anyone. How did people think that these apps found other users you know? This is built to support: A) finding existing people on the service and B) so they can (theoretically) send you notification

The author hints at, but doesn't push the issue that the cost is all really in the customization. If you were to build an app using only standard apple components, the cost would be significantly less (at least 2x). Those custom components

I like having things like list comprehensions. I like having a sane scoping system (as opposed to jsl and "best practices"). I'm also pretty fond of the syntactic sugar being offered (the existential operator in particular). Coffeescript ju

This doesn't make any sense. It's relatively easy to horizontally scale web servers. Perhaps at huge scale this would an issue, but I would imagine it's relatively easy for most developers to line up servers/instances behind a load balancer

Can you expand on this, as the resistance to this style has always confused me. The concern you are presenting is that a subclass could implement the setFoo method, and do so in a way that: 1) does not call [super setFoo:], and 2) does not

Battery doesn't last nearly as long (only about 3 hours of real work). It also runs hotter, but that hasn't been a problem.

When I travel or feel like hacking somewhere besides my desk, I work on an 11" air with an i7. The screen size is tight if you spend a lot of time in IDEs (for me, eclipse and xcode). When I'm able to work in emacs, I have more than enough
