Before doing so, I closed myself off from all manner of emotion, creativity, and honesty. I tried to be invisible. I closed myself off from people. I lived in my own mind. Being closeted led me to compensate by leading a double life that hurt a lot of people.
But now it's different. I am now doing my best work, I am exploring new things to try and learn, and I have many wonderful relationships that makes me happy to be alive. For the first time, I really feel like I'm living life.
I first discovered Borges in high school. We read "The Book of Sand" from a textbook. I've been wrapped up in the mysticism of the scenarios of his writing ever since. Years later, I visited his home city, Buenos Aires, and felt a bit of the magic he had written about.
Instagram's api has always been locked down pretty tightly, not having near the use of 3rd party Twitter apps. This may not have that big of an impact.
Props for the effort put into this! I came across rhine-ml a while ago and thought it would have been a nice, native alternative to Clojure. Both of these projects look very well thought out.
Curious, is this a learning project? It seems that way considering you go into detail about the inner workings.
It's really cool to see an old game engine released like this for historical purposes. Not to mention, it's nice to be able to experiment and see other games become derivatives.
Still, I can't help but feel that the game industry is always a bit behind in FOSS. They don't usually open source anything until a decade or two after the tech is irrelevant. Perhaps it's to prevent competition.
Another thing that bothers me with these releases is how little documentation there is. They put up a repository without much intention of helping/building a community around it, which is a shame.
All that said, they still have the right to approach in this manner. It is their property and they are still generous when making releases like this.
Thanks for the answer. That makes a lot of sense. I guess To some degree, I did know this. But the media has been portraying these moves as a complete move, hence the whole "exodus" hype. It bothers me still, because this rhetoric may lead to scenario I described above for smaller companies.
In a world that makes sense: probably. Keep in mind, Slack is not only raising money because it can but also because the public markets would throttle it like the companies had been in 2015.
That said, Butterfield's move to raise more money simply to be attract more recruits sounds completely crazy. But hey, it's only crazy if it doesn't work.
He seems to understand the awkward position his company is in. As covered in a TC article, Butterfield is prepping his company for the public markets even though there are no real plans to do so. This is evidenced by the near profitability Slack has now.
Can someone provide a little context towards this exodus from AWS to Google Cloud? I understand in DropBox's case that they (questionably) need their own infrastructure for cost saving. But then there's Apple and Spotify suddenly changing over. What's the advantage?
I have a fear that this trend among large companies is going to trickle down to smaller ones and independent devs. Considering these "Cloud Wars" I can see stories like continuing with different providers. Ultimately, a scenario could occur where one year, one provider is king. Then the next, everyone decides they need to migrate to the next big thing. That would be irritating for us contractors. We would have to learn new interfaces and apis at the same rate of JS frameworks.
It definitely would be better to just solve the problem. This is classic result of an OSS community responding to a problem with complaints or new, unrelated/irrelevant projects. Yet, being OSS, we have the means to fix it.
To be quite frank, I am not an expert in npm's underlying architecture. But this post has inspired me to actually do some research. The fact that there is an alternate package manager shows there is a huge problem.
You are right. It isn't best to start with LLVM, the top tier. I've made the mistake of letting it stop me in the past.
Writing a Brainfuck interpreter is a good idea! (I'm aware of the language.) Perhaps I could also try ArnoldC. :3
Recently, I began working with HHVM, I've been very interested in the subject of compilers and interpreters. I would certainly love to build such a thing for JS one day.
