Because F# was Microsoft's first open source language to even allow community involvement in its design processes and accept PRs directly from the community (C#, VB, and Typescript have all subsequently followed in F#'s trailblazed path here), there is a strong sense of not wanting to dictate the language direction and instead build the language as a community effort. It's been such a point of pride in the F# community that so much of F#'s development has been out in the open and a community effort, that are good reasons Microsoft would want to make sure its language was inclusive of that and respectful to that history.

Hiring: Front-end Developers, DevOps Engineers, SEO Analysts

RankScience automates split-testing for SEO to grow organic search traffic for businesses. 80% of clicks from Google go to organic results and yet most companies don't know how to improve their SEO, or can't effectively measure their efforts to do so. Because both Google and your competitors are always changing, the only way to succeed in the long-run is with software.

We've built a CDN that enables our software to modify HTML and run A/B testing experiments for SEO across groups of pages. Experiments typically take 14-21 days for Google to index and react to changes, and we use Bayesian Time Series models to determine the statistical significance of our experiments.

It is Clojure. It loads an additional runtime by itself. It is unfortunately not usable for CLI applications. Pure Java does the same thing in fraction of time. http://blog.ndk.io/jvm-slow-startup.html
I didn't think replication was one of the issues Uber noted, but then I looked back at the blog posts:

https://eng.uber.com/mysql-migration/

..and yep, it's listed.

In my own experience, I'd still take PostgreSQL over MySQL. MySQL doesn't allow for DDL modifications within a transaction, which makes database migration with tools like Flyway a little less resilient. On the other hand, you can use one connection for multiple databases with MySQL, MSSQL and others, which you can't with Postgres.

I mean really, they all have trade-offs. It really just depends on your specific use case.
FYI conda update openssl will give you the latest 1.0.2k. Continuum does a good job at getting OpenSSL updates out within hours of their upstream release.
Well, I'd agree that you probably can't go from correlation to causation without introducing assumptions - but there are situations where you can try to make assumptions.

For example, in the social sciences it's common to look for "instrument variables" which are random and can't be affected by anything else. If you can find these types of variables then you can pretend that you're looking at the results from an experiment.

There are also methods like discontinuity analysis, which argue that if your system is discontinuously effected by a variable, but the causes will effect the variable in a continuous way, then you can look at changes around that specific point as being causal.
> Also, always copying objects by value every time
> you call a function seems very expensive

This is a non-point. In Erlang/Elixir everything is immutable and 95% of the time data is passed by an immutable reference thus effectively eliminating data copying.

Also, if you use iolists for text processing (instead of appending strings), you absolutely will reuse all string chunks you use in the entire Erlang/Elixir OS process, even if you don't want to. It's mega-efficient.

EDIT: @josevalim (Elixir's creator) explains it much better than I can, right here in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13499328.

"on a server we could not turn off"

I think I've found your root issue. If you can't turn any server off with a few minutes' notice, you're one hardware failure away from dead.
I'm not really buying into that argument. I have seen Python code that is unreadable, actually a lot worse than 90s PHP/Perl. Take a look at modern Perl please.
If the original complaint is to be believed(1) - which Juror's found credible -the course of events, tldr was something like this:

- Zenimax bought ID software for >$100m(1) on June 24, 2009.

- Carmack signed up with Zenimax for an earn-out / golden-handcuffs agreement that ended in June of 2013.

- Carmack was enthralled with VR.

- Carmack found Palmer via an internet forum, reached out to get a rift to try.

- Carmack tinkered with the Rift, adding sensors, building calibration, etc. while on the clock / using hardware from zenimax.

- Carmack brought a prototype of the Rift working on Doom 3 to E3 with him providing Oculus with their early press.

- Zenimax realized the extent to which Carmack was enabling Oculus and worked to negotiate equity with Brendan Iribe.

- Oculus sent Zenimax a proposal to discuss a partnership Sept 21, 2012 but never followed up / followed through.

- Carmack quit Zenimax the day his contract was up in June 2013, joined Oculus as CTO a few months later and took his 5 best guys with him.

- FB bought Oculus March 2014, Zenmix got pissed and sued.

Clearly it's Carmack's genius that made this viable.

It's Carmack's video that lent credibility to the campaign.

And it's Carmack's original IP (Doom) that made the demos compelling.

It may be a weird system that Zenimax is entitled to $500m but since Carmack was an employee, under contract with Zenimax - who had paid >$100m to buy him / his IP - it sounds like this was a fair verdict.

You gave one example of each. That's a pretty painful definition of the word 'every'.

On performance: Every database will have some areas where it performs better than others - Uber just happened to hit a case that MySQL is well optimised for.

On data loss: MySQL's binlog replication is hardly a 'just works' solution. It's definitely got a lot better over time (particularly in 5.7), but it's not like a replica falling behind is some incredibly unusual event. Go back a fair while and it was really broken - much more so than Postgres' solution has ever been. It's fair to say it's more mature right now, and one reason to prefer MySQL for replication is that there's certainly more help out there for it.
Causality has never been of much interest to me. I never understood why others make such a big deal out of it. Maybe it is a real thing, maybe illusion, definitely some kind of heuristic... but shouldn't we be searching for useful "laws" (eg F ~ m1*m2/r^2) rather than "cause"? I know some have denied causality a place in science:

"In the following paper I wish, first, to maintain that the word "cause" is so inextricably bound up with misleading associations as to make its complete extrusion from the philosophical vocabulary desirable; secondly, to inquire what principle, if any, is employed in science in place of the supposed "law of causality" which philosophers imagine to be employed; thirdly, to exhibit certain confusions, especially in regard to teleology and determinism, which appear to me to be connected with erroneous notions as to causality."

Probably because it often feels like that's the intent of people name-calling others "fascists."

The best quote about fascism is and remains: "In Italy, fascists divide themselves into two categories: fascists and antifascists."
While this is true in practice it can be hard. You don't always have control of what libs you are using and often finding lightweight alternatives to many libraries is hard to impossible. It is better once you get outside Java proper, but nearly all the alternative languages on the JVM tout access to the Java ecosystem as a plus which then brings back in all that pain.
Detailing the citizenship gymnastics of an individual who is for policies restricting citizenship for a certain class of people is most certainly news. It points to the hypocrisy of a world where refugees are not allowed entry while billionaires roam the world like its their private property and the same billionaires work to enact those restrictive policies.

It doesn't work in those, because the vowel marked does form a dipthong with the preceding vowel in two of them, and wouldn't ordinarily in the sequence of vowels in the other two.

People I know who've had to escape tyrannical regimes would say this isn't incoherent rambling.

If Glen Beck and Newt Gingrich are raising concerns this is not a "liberal" problem. Get a grip.
I never considered Breitbart as part of mainstream media, so I ignored that. CNN is in a completely different position than Breitbart.

"Mainstream" used to be NBC, CBS, and ABC, plus AP and UPI. Of those, UPI's gone; NBC, CBS, and ABC have more-or-less abandoned their role. Fox and CNN are new-ish (at least to a person of my age). So to claim that "the mainstream media" all abandoned the center means "almost all the original ones did" - not counting Fox (or even CNN) in the reckoning. Never the less, CNN and Fox are far more mainstream than Breitbart, which is a marginal fringe player.

> (deer) hunting is a particularly unefficient way to feed a lot of people.

That's an empirical claim. What's your evidence?

I suspect hunted venison has lower animal cruelty impact than the equivalent amount of this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?field-keywords=vegan... I wouldn't advocate serving pounds of it to a person every week, but in small doses I would be surprised if "no venison" is the level of venison which creates the lowest level of animal cruelty.

That's just a suspicion though. I would love to see the studies done. Vegans will never do them because they don't want to consider the possibility that their "plant-based" food has non-negligible animal cruelty costs.

> please do not say that people do it for altruism. Or because this is "what ill ecosystems need". Is not true. People hunt for the money.

We sort of agree. People hunt for the food, at a certain price, the same reason vegans buy Field Roast patties. My assertion is: we must kill to survive. Vegan food is the result of killing animals. Vegans refuse to count those animals.

> Now the main goal has changed to "how we can have more deers in this place and make hunters happy?"

I think this is where I realize we're having slightly different conversations. I think maybe you're saying that not all hunting is good. Agreed. And perhaps you are saying any hunting allowed is a slippery slope that leads to overhunting. That's an interesting argument, I would be happy to follow.

My argument is just that some hunting is virtuous. You say:

> There are lots, and lots, and lots of places saved for cattle and agriculture.

"Saved" in this sentence is a euphemism for "cleared by killing or destroying the habitat of all the animals who might interfere." Regardless of whether it's cattle or corn, animals die to make your food. Vegan food often involves less killing, but it's not no killing, and sometimes venison or an egg involves less than plant-based equivalents. Especially "typical" equivalents in your average Whole Foods basket. Although of course there is an ultimate level of low-impact eating which is vegan, seen practices by buddhist monks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_temple_cuisine

Most vegans don't eat that way. Yet they'll disparage conscientious hunters who are closer to that ideal than they are.

1.5 is huge, except it is completely wrong. JVM startup time is within fraction of the second.

The belief that political opponents are mean, greedy, stupid, and/or foolish is the first thing we need to debug. No one is going to make much progress in such a hostile environment. Conservatives need to work to understand liberals well enough that they no longer feel a desire to belittle them and vice versa. Understanding each other better is a fight we can win IMHO.
Or a copy of GCC from September 2016. (That's not going to get you Java 9 support, I realize...)

I wrote my first non-toy lines of code in VB6, with a (pirate) copy of the IDE that I had to ask for as a request to a dude that sold cds in a public park.

At that time, I only had a C/C++ compiler that I didn't know how to use (because I had no internet and no standard library / STL docs). The MSDN library that was preloaded in the cd was an eye opener, and the visual components made it easy to experiment.

I would probably work in a restaurant today, if it wasn't for that cd.
This is really awesome, good work and congratulations to those that worked on this.
It is clearly. That is kinda the point of the article.
Doesn't that complicate the mainboard design vastly? Memory & caching, clocks & time, concurrency, etc.

Seriously, most of what you say is flat out wrong. But there's nothing I can say that will change your mind. If you have any interest in finding out more I would encourage you to out the experts on meditation, singing, woodwind-playing, etc. They'll confirm what I've said. If at that point you still want to dispute what the experts say, what the most experienced people tell you, that's something that, for me, would make me start turn inward and question my own instincts/thoughts/motivation.
NeXT had an Intel version as a hedge as well. Seems those two projects were destined to merge together.
> But the idea that they have the Mac OS running on their own ARM chips -- Apple shareholders should be annoyed if the company weren't doing this.

And if the company wasn't floating the idea of switching. Should at least give them leverage in negotiations with Intel.
I wonder if he really thinks holding the world hostage with proprietary software is ethical? You would think the guy would be 100% aware of the barriers Microsoft creates for people struggling in third world countries, yet MS has no problem handing out free copies of Windows in third world countries to to get people hooked into the closed system so that they can eventually create profit which Bill Gates claims to be using to fight malaria, yet he just keeps making more and more money.

I just wonder if he's aware that his OS is the least accessible to the poor, and that proprietary software is generally bad for developing societies.

I wish the circle jerk around this guy would come to an end.

Proprietary software was a mistake.
They sued in 2014 so the clock stops there.
Remember the time when software X on wintel ran circles around software X on macos/ppc and people pretended it was not the case?

I think VB6 and VB.NET are totally different beasts. VB6 is maybe a good language for beginners but VB.NET is just a weird language in my view. C# is a much more natural fit for the .NET runtime.
Regarding packages, sometimes I wonder whether package names could have been symbols: that would allow for gensymed packages, as well as hierarchical packages.
Yeah, well, if Trump thinks anybody should tilt coverage toward him because of a long relationship, that's kind of a problem. Trump wanted the office, now he's got it - all of it, including having to face the music from the press.
Hey, I didn't write anything between the lines! :-)

Don't worry: We're not "handing F# over to the community"! It always had a strong community participation, and continues to. It's a fabulous collaboration. This post is not an attempt to signal a change to our strategy for F#, and if anything should be read as a commitment to F#.

We're currently integrating F# more deeply with Roslyn, which should lead to an awesome bump in tooling quality.
