Ahh, I wish they could do concise text updates like this article, videos are so time consuming.

This AoS -> SoA feature is really cool

The big question is how automatic and streamlined can you make this governance, because I know for sure most devs doing open source today want nothing to do with it. However, if it meant a path to being actually paid to do open source, maybe they would.

Oh this is very nice, thanks for linking.

This was the most disappointing things about the new xcom games. They got great reviews but to me the world seemed so much like a theme park without it.

I didn't write about this because it wasn't toward my exact point about FP, but you're totally right. This will be equally as chilling for new web frameworks.

It's funny, I've never seen a dev team that really deeply internalized security without someone embedded who was an expert. It's just too hard, too easy to make a mistake.

I don't think these tools are the answer though, they make it easy for CISOs to look good, driving down the number, but is it real security?

You really need experts thinking about the security of your app. Ideally someone who thinks like a hacker.

Hi Author here, I'm just as worried about "established FP but globally niche" tech like Haskell or F# as I am about new tech. I've surveyed options and there's nothing available.

The term we like to use is "the pit of success". It shouldn't be hard to do it the right way.

Is this something we will be able to buy and run on our servers? I don't think we're the only ones wary of working hard to develop IP for a different company.

Also predictions/month pricing is just really challenging and incompatible with many downstream business models. The value has to be really huge to justify that.

It wasn't always so bad, they really screwed over their customer base by jacking up the price on those who already had bought in. I worked at a place where we had picked Octo and we ended up regretting it.

As someone in a CTO position now but being a serious IC ~5 years ago, I'm curious. How was the transition back for you? I love my job, but I also miss it.

I'm not ready for a fifteen million merits type world.

It depends on your market. If you're in b2b with big companies you can partner on solutions if you have some core that is special. For consumer you'll need to solve at least one problem well enough to get cashflow.

If I were them I might try to integrate with some existing open source plugin system (Atom or VSCode?) to get more supported languages for free.

Do you think the JET Purchase and systems integration will help?

Does it have generics yet?

Bag of words is the death of comprehensible NLP

This idea inspired the 2011 ICFP programming contest, lambda the gathering: http://icfpc2011.blogspot.jp/2011/06/task-description-contes...

Can you control all of these things with permissioning via an auth server of some kind?

"NP-complete Problems and Physical Reality" by Scott Aaronson. It relates NP-complete problems to examples in nature. Excellent paper and a fun read.

We run our tests on databases and it's on the order of one minute. Maybe it's a hardware issue? We all have beefy computers with fast SSDs.

Also since we strive to make our databases upgradable, it's important that the actual schema update scripts themselves are tested and used directly.

but now with containers you can have a snapshot that's already set up in the right state. A separate build.

But do you really need to mock the database when you can just deploy a containerized one for testing?

I remember standing there and wondering why people kept coming up and pressing their faces against the wall.

Is this related to the Brave Sentry spyware?

I wish this was the top comment. So true.

PG's articles sure have gone down hill :(

We're working on Type Classes. It seems like HKTs (or anything like them) are going to be hard without diverging in a huge way from the rest of the .NET ecosystem.

Gross mutable OO null-defensive nonsense.
