Wait, where do memory leaks come in and what the hell fo they have to do with the subject at hand? I was talking about it’s fit for web servers, not embedded development. I’m disputing very specific comments you have…
> Take 10 jobs over 10 years. […] I'm sure you'll make some money eventually Wasn’t it 1/250? Sorry but you’re pulling numbers out of thin air, all you have here is wishful thinking. Fact is most people who work for…
> It is NOT good as a high-volume web server, for example You couldn’t have picked a worse example - your CS major seems to be needing a refresh. NodeJS came to be precisely because V8, single threaded and using an…
Nice way to turn this into a personal attack. I have nothing against this opinion, and said as much above (I might even share it). His attitude and wording is entitled and disrespectful, like this is an inconvenience to…
Haha. You failed. I can feel the judgement from here. Sounds like the classic preconception of the socially-challenged developer. I thought that meme had died years ago. I promise you I am nothing like that, and not…
Definitely - personally I feel the opposite. The more indirect, the more offensive it reads. “Is everything ok?” tells me there is a problem I need to expose myself (am I underperforming? Do I look unwell? Did I say…
This is a brilliant take, explains how to be clear and direct as I mentioned, and all you can think of is “that’s exactly what I said”? It’s not. If you can’t tell the difference, we’ll, there’s nothing else to add…
The only reason you need that in the first place is because of how expensive updates in react are. It’s lack of true reactivity and user-controlled memoization lead to a ton of trashing. Svelte on the other hand is as…
> If 1 out of 250 ends up being a $100B company, 0.25% of equity you earn per year is $1M in cash. Sound like the kind of math a startup would use to lure you in. More like 99.75% of the equity you gain will be worth…
Why not ask direct & clear then? I also think it sounds disingenuous. This kind of passive-aggression is what “cracking the whip” feels like for employees.
> why do you feel like the conditions in place are acceptable? “Acceptable”? To whom? This is why you sound entitled. The alternative is not dining out. You make it sound like restaurants are letting you down or should…
Your comment reeks of entitlement. Restaurant owners have been struggling to survive by serving customers any way they can. Sorry your high dining-out standards can’t be met while a few million people die from the…
QR code’s are awesome. No greasy menu to hold, up to date availability, can see more details and better pictures for each item, and order without waiting for someone to show up at the table.
Anything is a “good language for that” if it meets your needs. If you can run the js VM in 128KB of RAM and have decent performance, why not? I guess you would be ok with a Lisp in a microcontroller even though it would…
> That directly affected Node.js as an implementation. It didn’t “affect” node, it was the whole reason it came to exist: its cooperative multitasking was a good way to tackle concurrency (remember c10k), and V8 was…
> these companies simply can’t afford to pay the higher wages of more established businesses. HAHAHA. Right after news of a $400M funding round. What exactly is the problem - the letter doesn’t mention it?
It’s expensive to fire people, it can be done. Money doesn’t seem to be an issue for startups these days. Every company I’ve worked for has given equity as compensation here. Opening a company is insanely easier than…
Crazy times when a company with zero revenue and no products launched is “not a startup” because of their funding…
Did they just hand out cash freely? 2000 companies is A LOT to do due diligence on.
By the definition of formally correct, yes, you’re right. But dynamic programming still allows programs to be functionally correct, and verified by testing, which is more often than not good enough.
That’s a load of gibberish. JS as a language has nothing to do with browser APIs, why would you judge it based on that? Also, ES6 was ratified six years ago. Seems like you had a bad experience with espruino /…
So he didn’t actually try browning in butter.
Exactly, the critique is that you need multiple layers, and if one fails, the R values you thought you had go out of the window. Whereas a concrete, wattle and daub etc wall will tolerate less-than-perfect fitting and…
Looks like you did not understand that comment. Concrete will not let a draft through no matter where the wind hits. For fiberglass and others, one bad fitting means a current can form through the material. This is why…
Oh, the OP said “crypto speculators” which in my mind is a bit more involved than random dudes buying Doge on RH.
