If the business wanted to track the rate of failures and create predictive models about when things fail, or detect anomalous behaviour, that's what they would have set out with as…

Why does having a different opinion to you mean someone has no idea what they’re talking about, or has never used a thing “seriously“? I used to love angular, then I got a job whic…

Thats a lovely bed time story, to go with this lovely opinion piece. However. Perhaps fly your proud American flag a little lower, and little bit more respectfully; none of the thi…

I spent 4 years as a professional python developer. We certainly shipped (using django) and it was certainly slow, and remains a painfully slow very successful enterprise app. I’m …

Lovely theory, but in practice it works more like this: 1) write everything in python because its easy and quick to do so. 2) its slow as. 3) abandon software and write it in somet…

Sure, but it sucks to be left with code you have to rewrite because you're donating your time to the cause to find problems and smooth the path for other people in the future. Mayb…

> sql to write etl in will drastically reduce the amount of work needed to write etl. :) My experience with writing an ETL in SQL is that it is almost never, quick, easy, correct o…

It sounds like you already have an idea of what you want to do, but I think you should pause and think more deeply about what you have, vs. what you want. What I would want in your…

That seems fair; but they have a whole methodology section. If you want to argue with it, surely the onus is on you to do it concretely? > Because of your methodology, we must assu…

Oh please, go read the source code for tensorflow and then come back and we can have a real conversation.

no, the trivial frontend is built in python; the real code is usually c++ or c. Ignore that reality if you want to, but it is a fact. Big complicated python projects are seldom pur…

> “one person sources the data, another models it, a third implements it, a fourth measures it” Call it whatever you like, it is what it is.

oh come on. 18000 responses. This is the js survey results all over again: no. Unless you can statistically prove the results are biased, you don’t get to ignore the results becaus…

I know, but I still struggle to get a handle on the state of it really. What is going on with futures 0.3? Why is everyone still using 0.1? How does that relate to these issues? It…

Is it just me, or is the fact that the most important part: https://rust-lang.github.io/async-book/getting_started/state... Is missing, somewhat ironic? Feels very much like the st…

This. JWT is a pain in the ass for a lot of reason people don’t appear to understand until they actually try to use it; and the majority of the proponents for it appear to have nev…

Obviously, but that's not the point I was making. ...but how does that (what you wrote) == "think of programming in Clojure like playing a difficult video game based on trial and e…

It's easy to laugh now, but in 2007 this was spot on. It was 10 years before Microsoft managed to drag itself up and do something useful with itself. It's really remarkable that Mi…

If we're just randomly quoting things, this one is probably more appropriate, from their FAQ: > Is this “Open Source”? > No.

Thats an interesting point that doesn’t answer any of the questions the parent asked. :) Perhaps you can answer this simpler one: Netflix has been using clojure for a long time now…

protip: jump to minute 31 for the interesting stuff. The first 30 minutes is about the new release cycle, which is... hm.. quite dry, boring and covered extensively elsewhere.

wasn’t the entire wasm ecosystem on beta until 3 days ago? /shrug The OPs point about some/many/[??? numbers of] people not using stable isn’t that unreasonable imo...
