There is more to BH than how they acquire companies. They also have a track recored of out performing S&P for decades. I doubt if BH alpha is because of their streamlined acquisition process.
I am fluent in 3 languages. I grew up in India where just about everyone ends up learning at least 3 languages. A month is too short to really pick up a language.
Sailing or outdoorsy stuff like hiking is not my cup of tea. I work out (cardio and weights) to keep myself fit. Not planning on making any changes to my daily routines during the month
Are there specific Graph databases you would recommend? I have played with Neo4j about 5 years ago. Has there been anything revolutionary in this field since then?
Was Cinder influenced by hhvm (Facebook's vm for php/hack)?
A project that maintains a list of different JIT implementations for programming languages and compares them would be a great way to see what are the different approaches to implementing JITs and which language features make it hard to implement performant JITs.
As an aside it is great that the Cinder team is specifically calling out that Cinder is not intended to be used outside of FB. Many people have been burned by lack of community around hhvm.
Growing up in India, I had quite a few of these Soviet gems on my bookstand. The only thing I had that originated from the West were a pair of Levi jeans. I was shocked to find out that a system that could make those jeans would win against one that made those books. In the early 2000s I was working in SV and repeated this remark to a Russian colleague. He told me of course the system that made the jeans is superior - he did not get his first pair of jeans till he got to the US and the trousers that he wore in Russia were absolutely horrible when compared to the jeans. Jeans to him were a marvel of engineering. The fact that a system could produce affordable jeans that would last for years, which people could buy whenever they wanted by strolling into their neighborhood shop was a much bigger achievement than state sponsored STEM books
I know if I go the route of cdk pipelines I will need to implement my CI/CD pipeline on my own using cdk. I want to know what are the other advantages of seed.
I would tweak the definition of rich provided by Sivers
Having more money than you spend for a year is not enough is not enough to be 'rich'. You want assets where you will always be able to generate more money than you need spend for every year that you live.
I think people read Siver's blog because he got to this tweaked definition of rich. This article does not seem to acknowledge that reality.
The biggest difference between Emacs and any other editor is that instead of thinking about Emacs as an editor you need to think of Emacs as a programable workflow enabler. Using Emacs without learning Elisp is like carrying a bike on your shoulders instead of riding it.
Once you get to the place where you can confidently write Elisp to solve your problems, you will miss Emacs deeply when you have to use any other application. You don't need to write extensions and open source them for other people. All you need is the ability to create Elisp code that does what you want exactly how you want it.
The best way of learning Elisp is reading the source code that is distributed with Emacs. Do a git checkout of Emacs and read Elisp code written by Stefan Monnier. Stay away from org-mode elisp - the quality of that code base is highly suspect.
The most important thing that needs to be changed about the H1B program is how the green card is linked to your particular employer. The H1B program is almost like indentured servitude for the vast majority of workers of Indian or Chinese origin because of the delay in getting a green card. It would be impossible for any employer to exploit H1B workers if the visa was not linked to an employer but to the tax paid by the worker. As long as the worker stays in a particular (federal) tax bracket the worker should be allowed to engage in any work that they desired.
How closely coupled is treesitter to Atom? How difficult would it be to generate binding to treesitter for languages other than Javascript? I dream of a future where elisp bindings for treesitter power syntax highlighting in Emacs.
From the presentation by Benjamin Gruenbaum - `Why Async Iterators Matter` there is slide where he shows how some Rxjs code can be rewritten using async iterators.
are being considered traps or gotchas. They are in fact very sensible design decisions for a compiled language. Having a compile-time error because of mistyping a variable is far better than having to debug a runtime failure.
