I'm saying I doubt they will ever offer it precisely because it will conflict with their paid offerings. The fact that it takes its hardware is a great excuse to not give your customers the option. I know GPS time sources have been ava

Nevermind, I misremembered the story I read about them. They moved the main site to AWS with the huge omission of their movie streaming system. Their own Open Connect servers are far cheaper to use for this becuase of massive AWS outbound d

Erlang and common lisp have been around for a long time, and functional programming is nothing new. The reality is that most business problems map conceptually to communication between objects, and that IDE's which greatly help develo

I agree about union types. They can quickly result in insane variable declaration statements that are hard to understand. I dislike nulls though, I always wish people would just use a flag or error handling when objects are undefined, inste

Haha de-turding is a great way to put it. I just don't think a new language is a reasonable option. There's what maybe... 50,000 different versions of the ~500 web browsers from different eras still running out there somewhere? If

I didn't know of the developer compiler, when that reaches production I won't have any real citicism of Dart. For now Js fallback is the only realistic option for running code on the web. Even if we get native typescript or dart s

Hahaha psychotic ish ramblings are fun to write sometimes though :). I'm about to retire this throwaway so IDGAF about what I'm writing as much as usual. Omega Man is an interesting term, never heard of that before. You're to

I'll save somebody but only if it's worth the cost of losing a friend. The better the friend the more I let them learn from their mistakes. The truth is that losing a good friend would hurt us both more than helping them mend the

Typescript and dart are completely different animals. I can leave typescript for good by compiling to js once and it's designed to output human readable code. The js it produces will be immediately usable as javascript, and I'm to

I've used a ton of languages over the years and vastly prefer Java type syntax when working on larger projects. The forced organization tends to lead towards some level of mandatory code clarity. Something greatly lacking in Js land. O

Last I checked some devices were running mainline kernels many years old, like 2011, with zero code back to mainline. One of the other posters mentioned rampant hacks to the kernel to get things to work in stupid ways which I've heard

I agree with you that JavaScript sucks balls in far more ways than is reasonable for such a widely used language. The design is seriously shit when compared directly to really any popular language, even PHP. I disagree with transpilers not

Interesting info about CM, didn't know there was more to it. I still disagree with play services because it wouldn't be that hard to force manufacturers to support updates when you command such a large part of the market

Thanks so much. I get a lot of downvotes and use throwaways because of comments like this, so it's nice to hear some praise every once in a while. Google's projects all seem very inviting from a distance. Usually it's not unt

Really? Google's once rosy history with open source project isn't looking too friendly these days. And yeah ECMA is a totally open standard with committee members from all sorts of companies and backgrounds. Dart is not. I don&#x2

People are used to working with others far away constantly in daily life. I don't think it's much effort to say "yeah the guy that sits across from you, from now on youll have to call him" . Especially if most of the emp

Yeah, you can fork. Take AMP or Android for example. With AMP, the instant you fork and change a single character of code it becomes incompatible because part of AMP is a verifier that makes sure only the official version is used with Googl

I don't see how working remotely can ever replace the human interaction of working in one place. People forget, humans are not machines. They are biologically wired to work better in groups than alone, and our biology includes the abil

I would say that Google is trying to replace JavaScript with dart in any way they possibly can. The reason is simple, JavaScript is an open standard, dart is owned by google. Their reasons that "dart is better" is the typical goog

Spanner is unique in a lot of ways, but it still trades off consistency for speed. The most unique thing about spanner is the use of globally synchronized clock timestamps to guarantee "comes before" consistency without the need

Cassandra also does that without requiring the "magic" of a system you can only get from a single vendor and never buy. At the same time these walled gardens have come up free software has grown to fill the gaps

Have you run your own servers in a colo? I've done it myself. One person, with maybe 3 hours a week of time investment after a few weeks of setup and hardware purchase. Using containers I can move between the cloud and my own servers s

I think you're grossly underestimating the amount of money rich people have socked away in physical property. Besides the stock markets it's the largest investment market by far. This includes commercial property as well. The boom

Yeah I'm sure if that was possible we would be doing it. The same NIMBY folks preventing more housing from being built also control the construction of new highways, public transport, and zoning regulations

Sorry, maybe not a NAS but my point stands. Almost any chip that has a server equivalent either has ECC disabled in the chip or the motherboard chipset. This was never the case until some years ago, and the only example I've ever found

The movement from ownership to renting on the web is absolutely terrifying to me. Within the span of a few years we've gone from owning our technology to renting it out from a big players for monthly fees that we cannot completely pred
