If you can write more concise, elegant and bug-free code, but all your colleagues can't deal with it and want to stick with their stuff, you're probably in the wrong place.<p>On the other hand: Python doesn't exactly impress me as a particularly "functional" language. The examples are not as straightforward as the Haskell examples. Python uses a weird mix of OOP, imperative and functional programming, and this creates mental strain for everybody who has to read it. When I switch from Ruby to Python, I usually enjoy the simple imperative-pseudo-code like way of how the most idiomatic code there works. Then when I go back to Ruby I'm happy to use idiomatic metaprogramming, chained blocks of code etc.<p>The same is true for Go and probably part of the current fascination of the dev community with the language (because it's proud of constraining complexity of expression). | null | 11,503,144 | null | [

Thus removed, they become more like window dressing, green ornaments rather than social activators." If you're seeing the trees, you're enjoying them. Trees are "social activators"? Whaaaat?

We thought about it for the inbound but while we believe we can get the registration down to a simple 2-3 step process the bill itself is not enough so we would still need supporting information (force the use of the site anyway).<p>Regarding form factor our plan is a responsive site that down scales to touch devices. That will cover both desktop and mobile well. | null | 11,502,130 | null | [

I would not want to work with someone who deliberately makes the code harder to read in order to mimic his/her own favorite language.
Every language has its idioms, just learn them and quit bitching.<p>As a side note, the example chosen was particularly poor because, if the collection contains a huge number of items, concatenating them without a StringBuilder in .NET land is a terribile idea. | null | 11,503,186 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

This has nothing to do with application programmers not understanding "distributed programming" as you put it.<p>From the article:<p>> As a central part of resource management, the OS thread scheduler must maintain the following, simple, invariant: make sure that ready threads are scheduled on available cores.<p>> As simple as it may seem, we found that this invariant is often broken in Linux. Cores may stay idle for seconds while ready threads are waiting in runqueues.<p>> In our experiments, these performance bugs caused many-fold performance
degradation for synchronization-heavy scientific applications, 13% higher latency for kernel make, and a 14-23% decrease in TPC-H throughput for a widely used commercial database. | null | 11,502,905 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

It's false to compare ISIS with the rise of nazism (just look at the fact that half the population of syria has run away from them).

11,503,241 | null | comment | trhway | 1,460,715,277 | in case of one single node the INSERT would result in a 2 (logical, real implementations do various optimizations to avoid having 2 full copies) versions of table data: 1. empty table for everybody else and 2. the same table containing 1 record for consumption inside the current transaction. Thus the SELECT inside the same tx will see that 1 record.<p>Submitting INSERT into Paxos log immediately would allow the rest of the cluster to see those 2 logical states of the table. Thus one can imagine [ have no idea whether Citus implemented it or not] that if failover happens after INSERT before SELECT, the cluster would still be able to continue the transaction and executing the transaction's SELECT on another node would still produce 1 record while any other session would still see empty table.<p>Upon COMMIT or ROLLBACK, the same as in one node situation, one of those table states will become permanent and another will disappear. Through Paxos log whole cluster would be aware (and in consensus :) about it. If there were other transactions in progress, the relations between them would be subject to isolation levels configured as usual. For example if there were another transaction running with READ_COMMITTED isolation level on some another node and that transaction were wanting to do SELECT on that table, it would see the COMMIT and thus would be able to read that one record.<p>Paxos serialisability of the state of the cluster has nothing to do with transaction isolation levels. Paxos just provides that all nodes are in consensus about the state, for example the state of relationship between transactions in progress. | null | 11,500,362 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

(I do the latter for a living.)<p>However, "performance of Node, PHP and Python" is a sensible goal in its own right, and I disagree with the implication of your comment, and that of sister comments, that it is not a sensible goal. There's a lot of useful code written in Node, PHP and Python, and moreover, this might remain true for a long while because "something more performance oriented" is likely to be less <i>programmer productivity oriented</i> in that a correct, easy to use program or library will take more time to get done. Also, Node and Python specifically can be damn fast (numpy for instance is unbeatable for large linear algebra programs, because it uses optimized libraries under the hood, etc. etc.)<p>And some things simply can't be done in a satisfactory fashion in anything but a dynamic language, any more than you can get Apache to run on a GPU. "Dynamic" is a feature, not just a source of overhead.<p>So "a performance-obsessed scripting language developer" is a perfectly fine way to describe oneself IMO. | null | 11,502,520 | null | [

filter(), and reduce() in Python like the plague, but I find list
comprehensions appropriate. You need to learn to switch between paradigms and
