@MartinZikmund Bash on Ubuntu on Windows (that's actually its name) is actually kinda nice.

@chasb96 Which ones don't have ssh? Not counting the diy ones like Arch and Gentoo

Stop hanging out with him. He's not worth the time and if you stop feeding the troll and he'll leave.

@FitzSuperUser By my count there are only 5 Star Wars movies. And one of them is still only in theaters.

I've traditionally done Star Wars on New Year's

As always, there's an XKCD for that: https://www.xkcd.com/323/

@Godisalie The language let them do it, so it must be alright 😉

But my guess is that they wanted to use it as a lightweight data object and just kinda passed it around whenever they needed to return/operate on more than 1 thing.

12 loops deep?! I get that it's bad code, but still...

You mean "The Internet Button"?

Wait, do you mean writing a document in Docs, or do you mean cloning it?

@Batdroid I don't either. I never really got on the tablet train. Tried twice. Sold them the first time around after never using them and then got a 7" one about a year ago that I occasionally use as an e-reader, but only when I'm at home and don't feel like reading on my phone.

@jsdev @stalinkay I've definitely taken classes where the professors tried. I think they can kinda get good coding practices across, but debugging is so reliant on experience that until you get there it just seems like magic.

As for the original issue, most schools can't afford to pay anything resembling competitive prices. My friend is switching over to programming and took a webdev job at a university for experience. It seems like it's a miracle that the site was even running.

@Batdroid That's actually really funny, especially since as far as I can tell Fire tablets run on a heavily modified Android.

@solocoder That isn't going to work if you need low latency. I know the current trend is to not think of vertical scaling because horizontal is so cheap, but I can't help but feel that's sort sighted.

That said I again wasn't suggesting that an early stage startup not go with Node. I was saying that if after 5 years you want to switch from php you'll probably be switching because you can't scale your app any more and I don't think Node is going to give as much benefit in that case as a more traditional serverside language will. I admit I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

@phoomparin You must have missed the post I responded to. They were arguing not to go with php because in 5 years op will want to switch to Node. In the Silicon Valley style of get acquired early and often you would have ran out of valuation money after 5 years if you weren't a unicorn. I never said anything about when you're prototyping/trying to make a quick exit.

@aswinramakrish Can you link me to some recent blog posts about it? A quick Google search wasn't leading me to believe it (posts about Java easy answer posts about Node), but maybe I just missed it. I am actually willing to have my opinion changed ☺️

@aswinramakrish Sure, if you're only looking for early stage and want to tap into the frontend talent pool then feel free to go with Node. But once you're out of first round and are now having to scale you're probably going to run into headaches. I admit that Node is new enough we haven't really seen that stage yet, but 5-10 years ago everyone was making your arguments, but for rails. And any of the companies that were using it, but existed past 5 years and a very small userbase switched to a different language.

And to address your question, I wouldn't rebuild V8 because I would never run Javascript on the backend. 😉

Yeah, tell him to blow it out the ass and from now on if he wants your help he can pay your consulting rate.

@aswinramakrish Java or another JVM language, C++/#, Elixir/Erlang. Pretty much any language that was meant for large scale backend projects.

@aswinramakrish Yes... Node in 5 years and not an actually scalable language.

I've thought about trying to do something like that, but I'm not sure where I'd put it/what I'd actually use it for.

@mell0 Any well run software project is going to have style guidelines. Sometimes they're going to be in the C style, and sometimes in the Java. Doesn't matter which you prefer, you're going to have to follow the project's rules.

@filax Sounds like you found the biggest bug 😉

@lotd Honestly I think we need to convince them that PC isn't second class to consoles before we can get most AAA companies to even think about Linux. I agree though. I know Valve released some benchmarks (before Vulcan) where opengl was something like 1000 faster, even on Windows.

For, while, do-while, what's the 4th? Foreach?

I actively try not to be that guy. I work with a fairly diverse group of people and I'm already a bad speller, so I triple check. If it's wrong in Exchange, I'm sorry, but that's my reference.

You might be interested in this article series. I have only glanced over it, so I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but what I saw looks good: http://gafferongames.com/networking...

Be careful with built in power. They tend to be underspeced. That said, I've generally loved my CoolMaster caress. Haven't tried their power supplies.
