This is true but keep in mind that you have to set up a pipeline for collecting the data into HDFS (Storm? batch loading?) & you have to pay for the machines. So while your analysis is valid, there are more "costs" at…
yeah i do Scala now but same deal. Where I think the OP comment really goes wrong is when he says something like "you're gonna need all that stuff and you're gonna end up re-implementing it yourself". I really don't…
There is a huge legal difference between getting caught doing drugs vs facilitating the trafficking of mass quantities of controlled substances. I don't think casual marijuana smokers should get all up in arms like "hey…
I feel like this is already indirectly possible with cache systems... yes there is an initial load from DB or whatever, but with Ehcache for example I think(?) all those objects just sit in the JVM, and therefore should…
I'd like to at least offer some support to this -- I'm not sure I agree with all of your conclusions but since switching to Scrum mentality I definitely notice that the goals of our team have become much less…
my company is "totally agile" (they wish) and it gives the management layer something to do cuz they are analyzing JIRA all day coming up with horse-shit charts, so of course they keep pushing all of it like its solving…
A doctor would probably classify this as some level of abuse, since medically accepted drinking levels are low (few drinks a week, I think?). Even if its just "1 per day", chemical dependency in order to function is…
Do the repo owners get a cut? :) I tried it on Clojure then imagined how guilty I'd feel buying it knowing Rich Hickey wouldn't get any money but the printers would get lots, hah.
heh thanks for the words of encouragement. i'm going to try now, yes. but basically.... to be fair i'm getting paid a pretty good wage so i really just need some experience to avoid looking like a dabbler. I'm looking…
yep there are also a lot of situations in enterprise where you don't exactly know how your code will be used in near future (in <5 years it could grow to exponentially more customers using it compared to soft releases…
Honestly, I'd rather they make it a paid service than a dystopian clusterfuck of advertising espionage. I'm more likely to quit the wonnnnderful "free" service you describe and defend because it "costs millions of…
This cost-center point is key. I work for one of the big international electronics corps as an enterprise web dev, but they have no interest in the quality of our work. They don't understand it, they have no belief in…
o man i would love to try "brothers" :) does the offer still stand? i am one of those "controller" pc gamers... (i am "fat0wl" on steam too!)
hah i am jealous of you both... i don't get the kickbacks, i just get one more team of consultants that i have to work with on every project who relish the tiny bit of authority they have now been granted (Message…
this may be true. I use a lot of IBM server/development techs & pretty much all of them are missing the magic they claim, boiling down to "confusing forced development paradigm that bleeds millions from your company in…
I think a big issue is that a lot of these rules need to be revised as language features evolve. A lot of productive paradigms are no longer "pure" code. I see a lot of comments kindof poo-pooing annotations, but one of…
i did this with an AWS system because we never configured security keys properly -- basically got tired of whitelisting 1 IP at a time for development tasks, especially since I had issues accessing from behind corp…
amen. there are downsides to the chaos of consulting that i don't particularly enjoy but the only time i ever spoke to HR was when they handed me my badge, and there is no such thing as a "performance review",…
i kindof believe all languages should have some ability to run with a browser-based GUI... why bother with all the hair-brained implementations (Swing, Qt, etc.) when we could just have a "desktop mode" (altered…
amen... i struggle with this a lot & though its cute to think "oh but i get to write code at work & be creative!!" all of the monstrous bureaucracy is very stifling, & my creativity is definitely in spite of my job. is…
i understand your point about history but disagree with your conclusion... at this point its not like Adobe would have to re-architect the system cuz im sure when you click & use a tool it is not going "uhhh photoshop…
thanks -- i didnt realize #1 was the case, & good point about the pipeline loop... I guess since I just use the CLI utils in different ecosystems it doesn't really occur to me how they are written, nor do I really care.…
are there a lot of applications where this matters? maybe for CLI utils or something? i mostly make web-apps or data-mining apps, never really understood this criticism of long (1 second type of long, maybe 10 for EE…
heh i am always nervous to use this macro... while i agree it often makes things much simpler & more linear i feel like working without it would probably lead to quicker learning of how to mentally organize/dissect the…
In enterprise Java there are quite a bit of tools/frameworks designed to do this. While I don't particularly like the one they use at my company (bloated quirky IBM code-gen tool), it makes me see the merits of this…
