we know. but they are vastly different.

I can't remember the last time I depended on Google Maps for directions.

Anyone still use Maps in the car? I use Waze.

Talent isn't the problem, capital is.

Exciting!

I wish I could upvote this many times. Great reply. Agree 100% and thanks for speaking for us that work behind the scenes to make things happen.

Indeed! Their expertise and quality are something I truly value. Percona Server is killer.

It was a geek joke, I'm not serious. I've written plenty of both languages, even in .gov.

Why so serious?!

In a similar manner as Alpha Zero, Leela is growing by playing games with people and with itself (mostly). It is already a strong expert or low rated master at this point.

Youtube chess (masters) like ChessNetwork and Kingcrusher have videos of them playing it.

You can help make it stronger by donating your CPU/GPU cycles!

It isn't a LISP :P

Pretty much all of this is fiction.

Is there data with that, or do paid customers generally not have a problem with it?

Open sourcing their work is a courtesy and not a right.

Really cool technology, but I wish the Linux was a first-class citizen for this, too.

I know Microsoft is making progress support Linux more and more, and they have made Core .NET available for Linux https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/linux

I get they're supporting what they know best. A geek can dream.

thank you!

Love the shrug emoji

A lot of Africans are white, especially ones settled and controlled by Brits at some point.

Not only is it like a totally different language than Perl 5, the most critical problem is that it simply wasn't popular.

All it would take is buzz... and millennials. Lots of millennials.

Generally, products that are the most popular aren't always the best. Better to just accept that now, especially before you invest much time in the space :)

millennials ;)

...and it is where a lot of excitement is now. Excitement drives development (of tools themselves and general usage). Much of the time, it is for the best.

People tend to get lost in tooling, which I can understand.

A great resource for systems engineering. I love this.

Source: am systems engineer for complex systems that can't go down and are heavily used by millions... but not as cool as NASA.

You build a career doing a job and solving problems, using specific skill sets.

Sometimes you're lucky enough to get paid to work on opensource projects or projects you've worked on become opensource.

I've built a career on open source technologies, mainly as a hobby that I turned into a job :)

Game on.

Bashing on NT kernel without knowing what VMS is, and what improvements were made that we all can learn from is terribly ignorant at best.

Sure, Microsoft has had terrible problems, but the true innovations and improvement on kernel design and implementation are truly amazing.

Kernel programmers are underappreciated.

Awesome! Glad someone is actually talking sense here :)

The idea that windows=bad across the board is terrible.

Most don't even know what VMS is/was.

Exactly.

Someone told me something 20 years ago, "adapt or get left behind" and I think that applies here.

You need to adapt to the changing technologies, even if they aren't as awesome to you personally. Why pigeon-hole yourself? I'd rather hire someone that is adaptable without stubbornness for technology (and usually an ego).

PHP used to be royal crap, but it has a ton of good stuff in it now-a-days, at least feature and performance-wise.

Being adaptable and open to learning more about programming languages will be much better for a career. Are you a programmer or not? Do you love programming or do you love a specific language only? Overcoming challenges and implementing business needs is one of the best things ever!

I have so much in Evernote and depend on it for work and personal stuff, so the price is very reasonable for me. It is great software.

I wish the Work Chat feature was actually good. it only syncs chats when the app syncs every 5 minutes or whatever you have it set to... Instant sync for Work Chat is needed.

Just takes a bit of practice! Anyone can do it.

I, personally, love this book and have it on my nightstand https://www.amazon.com/Speedsolving-Easy---Follow-Step---Ste...

Exactly.

Long term stability, even if programmers/admins complain, is still the best option for a business.

Hobbyists can do whatever they want, a company isn't depending on what they do.

Languages that are cool/hip/popular here will win.

Odd that Golang was left out with it fitting that criteria... but I still stand by the assertion :)

Thank you! People all caught up in the buzz.

Granted, I'll participate in the Kickstarter, but this isn't truly news once you realize Core will be running Android. I don't think that is common knowledge.
