The language also has a pretty good manual: https://hobbes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ that also give a bit more background on why this was developed in the first place. Imagine bein…

I think it is more about urban vs rural voters. Latter group is more likely to vote with CG, even after emigrating. It takes more time for them to pick up western values simply bec…

While some areas of the firm may indeed have what you call old and crumbling tech, this is far from the rule. I expect the electronic trading arm of JPM to be far and beyond what y…

I'm putting things into perspective. Hungary has 136 km shared border with Ukraine, it also represents only 0.25% of the global GDP, and it is a small country of less than 10 milli…

Orban is the prime minister not the president. As for being chummy no Hungarian prime minister or president current or former has ever served as board member for Gazprom, nor serve…

You have to build solar panels and wind turbines. Then have connecting service roads able to carry heavy equipment. Wash the panels frequently or watch their performance plummet. G…

Both Go and JS are async and callback driven. The difference is that with JS those nasty callbacks are painfully explicit, whereas it is all hidden in Go. Node's callstack is a gor…

The Linux version was benchmarked with gettimeofday() while the Windows one with QueryPerformanceCounter. The first has a lower resolution of 10 micros and as such the benchmark is…

For something to double in 10 years it only has to grow by 6.9% per year. This is from a somewhat unusual application of The Rule of 69. Latter is way of determining doubling time …

The rate of economic growth has little relation to the stock market yield. For one you have forgotten about the dividends, currently around 2%. Now lets assume the company grows by…

Seems a bit patronizing to assume that farmers will buy a product that does not work, then continue to do so after it had proven that it yields no advantage. If it were the case th…

On the other hand this is exactly the kind of people you wish for when something like the 1918 flu pandemic will happen again.

Someone from the top 5% is more likely to hold their a wealth in equities, then the Average Joe from of the 50%. The top percentiles may be paid more, but they are likely to make f…

I would be surprised when a study comes out proving the opposite, given that there are strong proofs why beating the market average is difficult: http://www.norstad.org/finance/tsm…

A great tool to create a healthy debate about nothing, while the world changes unnoticed beneath you.

In 2015 clang & gcc have a more or less working devirtualization feature that eliminates the virtual overhead in a simple benchmark such as this. The compiler sees all classes and …

Oh yeah having six or more horizontal navigation bars was pure pain. Considering how difficult is to effect changes with an established user base, plus the complexity of the domain…

Have created something similar enabling cross referenced search both from code and diffs as well at https://tixef.com . Indeed the ability to slice into the details of an implement…

OTH there was no Heartbleed bug in the SSL implementation of Go's net/http. So much for hardened implementation. Secondly you can use go behind a http proxy, or even in an FCGI etc…

In a 30 KLOC rails project I find those numbers acceptable. Also you are unlikely to run the full suite after every editor save. Even Jim Weirich runs a single test file and not th…

I am quite sure that the Basecamp cluster contains tens of machines. It also features a rather clever caching design. Please don't try to justify a push towards simplicity as lack …

The sole advantage Paymill has is that you can make use of it from any EU country. That said my experience with them was horrific. If Stripe continues to expand, I doubt that Paymi…

If it has an effect on overfishing then we should welcome it. Sometimes paranoia can be useful. Or there will be no more tuna left for our grandchildren. Nature does not care so mu…
