Does anyone have experience making tests against real databases fast? I resonate with the sentiment of this article, but have struggled to find an alternative that’s fast enough as…

You could “yield” the record instead of constructing the list. This makes “read_portfolio” into an iterator instead of returning a list. Use a list comprehension or list constructo…

would old be something like: implementation is no longer relevant (the software itself is obsoleted), but the idea is seminal -- a basic conceptual building block upon which curren…

This is really interesting. What kind of metrics is the culture focused on? How were they established. Can you think of examples when critical/deliberate decisions were made to pur…

I work for a global / English-speaking company in Japan. We don't have futsal and basketball instead of vball, but it's pretty easy to get started. PM me if you're interested.

A related market for some of this tech: remote interviews. I've seen lots of solutions for this: collaborative code editors, hangouts, Skype etc. There are frequently problems with…

I really like: daemontools + static binary + setuidgid and maybe chroot. Or mesos where everything needs to be in a tarball, which is extracted and sole program run. If stuff is st…

Yep, you're absolutely right. I guess that maybe if you care about inventing new kinds of loops (e.g. a DSL that wants to loop as a specialized kind of `fold` construct), there's m…

Another thing to mention: having guarantee of TCO supports higher-level control-flow abstractions (capturing continuations), which is also an interesting outcome...

Yep, and the same can be implemented in any language that supports functions-as-objects (for example, javascript). It's a practical solution/workaround, but isn't quite composable/…

When TCO is "lexically scoped" like loop/recur, the compiler can handle it. When HoF are involved, you may have a case where a procedure calls a procedure-parameter, which calls an…

An interesting thing about general tail recursion is that it's composable. Closure's loop/recur is a special case implementation of a common pattern. That's Ok, but it can't extend…

I've been tracking the beta for a while. I'm confused about this announcement. These issues still seem unresolved? (1) docker can peg the CPU until it's restarted https://forums.do…

I use Duo Mobile for some accounts; it supports push. Definitely nicer than rushing to type a number in before the timer expires :)

Besides karma, I wonder if users will be motivated by career opportunities? Contributing to documentation could be a good signal to recruiters that are looking for experts in a par…

There are frameworks that run on Mesos capable of running Docker containers. Check out Singularity, for example.

Does anybody know how they'll be funded over the next few years?

Congrats on this release, Sam. Pow just keeps getting better!

I bought a burger from a mobile restaurant (large truck) the other day. They swiped my card through a Square reader. I appreciated not having to find an ATM. I'll eat there again n…

Thanks, we'll take a look!

Thanks for the feedback! We'll tweak the payment form to make it more usable.
