Ah but you can't. The GC will still pause and trace no matter what.

As far as I know, you can only control allocation at the level of "retainment": you can keep something from being GC'ed by keeping a reference to it. Potentially you can also reuse memory. So basically, object pools. This is much less efficient than arenas, where there is one malloc and one free (or one per memory page).

Also reusing memory is a bit ugly: you can't specify that things are final anymore, which you can in C -- sure this is no hard guarantee (it isn't in Java either) but it's a useful indication that during the lifetime of a "logical object" (not its memory) it will not change.

I've tried using object pools a couple time in Java, whenever allocations dominated the running time, it never helped any.

I wrote a viewer to better understand the HCL color space. By seeing it in 3D and then looking at different slices you can start to build an intuition about how the colors relate to each other and which colors are available at different parameters.

This is a fun topic. Here's a Lab and Lch colour picker I once made: http://davidjohnstone.net/pages/lch-lab-colour-gradient-pick...

A keyword not mentioned in this article is "perceptual uniformity". It's the idea that the difference between two colours as measured by the Euclidean difference (of the L, a and b components) will be equal to the perceived difference between colours. That said, it turns out that this isn't quite as true as it was hoped for this colour space, and now there are much more complicated formula for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_difference
Is there any incentive you know that tries to standardise how desktop apps should behave?

Just my observations & opinions:
I don't think we will reach a point anytime soon where desktop apps have standardised UIs much more than now. The most effort in this space is done on iOS. Apple pushed UX Guidelines quite hard, most of the apps are mainstream consumer oriented and are not even that complex so Tab bar on the bottom + screens above works well. Desktop apps are generally much more complex and therefore harder to standardise I guess.

My professional advice to people who make these unmeasurable changes is: Then don't do them. The worst part about unmeasurable changes is you can't verify if it has a negative effect either and you're essentially saying "I'm focusing on making this change when it will have negligible impact on the business."

You have better things to do.

This certainly doesn't apply to me. I'm one of those nuts who gets annoyed by people taking out their shitty camera phones to record video during fireworks displays. It's so irritating to have everyone with their bright screens whiting out the night vision required to properly enjoy the show. Nobody even watches the fireworks anymore, as they're too busy staring at tiny blobs of color on their phone screen or preview window on the back of their camera.

I've stopped going to fireworks shows. I also no longer go to the cinema, lest I murder a fellow moviegoer for using their fucking cell phone during the movie. If the cinema wants my dollar, they're going to have to install Faraday cages / jammers. Which will never happen, because "Think of the children - what if the babysitter has an emergency!" and "What if I need to call 911!". I can't imagine how people managed to watch a movie back before cell phones were the norm. How in the world did people disconnect from the digital network for 90-120 minutes?! It's unfathomable!
There's another angle to consider here as well. How much do EPS and tax profits mean to investors? Very little so long as underlying cash flow is strong.

The new game for corporations has been to minimize their taxable profits while maximizing free cash flow and returning that cash somehow to shareholders. John Malone's cable companies have reported losses or minimal profits for decades, while at the same time beating the S&P500.

Part of that was due to favorable tax breaks on cable companies which purchased and sold cable system assets between one another. This was originally designed to support cable in rural communities, but was quickly co-opted. Competitors would frequently sell assets to each other every couple of years when the tax benefits ran out to re-roll them. One big shell game.

The code is broken and until we fix it the opportunities to game the system are going to multiply. Something about a finger in the dike...
The flexibility of JS is not how the language is designed, it is the hole that the language is filling.

The fact that using JS you can write a browser based app, a mobile app, backend software, configuration files and flat data files (JSON) without switching gears is the flexibility.

I would also argue that if you really don't like JS, you are using the wrong tool for whatever job you are trying to do.

> The traditional moral reason for taxing profit is that it's excess money for which the company couldn't find a use; they've already paid the staff, invested in R&D and maintained the corporate jet fleet and they still have money left over. The Government can quite easily find a use for that excess cash in providing infrastructure which the company needs in order to operate.

This is complete absurdity. There should be no "moral" reason behind taxes; only logical. Taxes on profit are punitive against small businesses and encourage tax optimization strategies that are not remotely related to any sort of sound business. Assuming any government is going to better spend money than private enterprise is one of the funniest things I've read today.

Well, the author seems to feel like he wanted to make a difference on the product side, and in that way the roads are not at all the same.

If your goal is to build software products, how do you make the biggest impact?

This feels like the question the author is answering with his observation that, as a programmer, you rarely have the clout to make the decisions necessary to drive the best product (or any at all) to market, outside of intentionally writing back code.
That's stupid. I am not willing to suffer for 20 years to then enjoy the remaining 30-40 whatever there will be. You don't know how long you will live, and what is your old days worth if you broken in your youth trying to be safe when you are 50?

That is what socialism->communism was about in my country. We have to suffer just a little more and then we'll get there. Guess what. We never got there.

I've been in many situations where people thought that the solution lay in something technical, whereas the actual issue was social/cultural. In the worst case, time and energy is spent on the technical thing, which then simply fails when it hits the 'market' (so to speak). In the best case, the technical solution papers over a few cracks and merely kicks the can down the road.

He could of gone into management/leadership, and failed miserably. The cherry-picked success stories don't mean success is more likely.

I guess you have to balance risk and reward. If you focus on the best examples of an option, you have to also compare it to the risk (how many fail).

It's worse to use an encrypted but potentially compromised channel than a plain text one only when you assume the encryption is not in fact compromised, which you shouldn't do.

The last time I was at a crowded museum I spent roughly 20% of the time just trying to avoid getting in the way of people taking pictures. Everyone was taking pictures everywhere of all the installations. I considered doing so too, but realized 20 years too late that there are far better photographs of a work of art (or at least enough) by professional photographers with different takes/interpretations than I could do without decades of training (on average). If you like a piece, there's nothing to stop you from buying a print or downloading a picture. I get it that some people do it more for remembering "that time I saw it in person" instead of trying to capture the essence of a piece, and that's fine (that's why I used to take the pictures), but multiply the amount of time it takes to do that by every piece you come across, plus how much posting it on instagram/whatever/facebook removes you from "the zone", and I think it's just a different way of massively disrupting your attention when the MAIN reason you're there in a museum, for a limited amount of time, is to suck it all up. I'm sure many people don't get distracted by trying to take photos of all the art, but once I stopped and just focused on concentrating and nothing else, a trip became much, much more enjoyable, and even memorable.

As I started reading, I was curious about the business model that would allow the clubs to spend this much money, on the basis that they had to recoup it and more within a single night.

They kind of answer that near the end, but I'm still left a bit befuddled. Apparently there's multiple(!) groups of people who will pay $25,000 dollars minimum to sit at a table near Nikki Minaj for an hour?

I can understand (if not condone) the birthday party thing, where you spend millions to get someone famous at your party, as by doing so you are saying "I have so many millions, I can do this ridiculous thing, or buy a famous painting, and still be richer than you". But it seems weird that it's a booming and widespread business model.

> A messenger that really did "all possible tradeoffs in favor of security" would force you to verify the recipient, either in person or via a web of trust. I think not doing that is a perfectly acceptable tradeoff to protect 1 billion users from passive mass surveillance.

I would prefer to use a system like SDSI/SPKI's friend-of-a-friend naming, with a contact-sharing mechanism so that I could, say, know that I was talking to 'Sheila's Dad' or 'My Boss's Jim's Phone' (presented in a somewhat more user-friendly way, maybe 'My Boss → Jim → Phone' or something).
Trying to achieve Qubes OS concepts with containers is a very hard task. Wondering how this can be achieved. Do they provide any paper or detailed view of the implementation?

Some questions:

- Do they provide their own implementation of containers or
rely on some already existing (docker, rkt, etc)?
- How containers communicate? what protocol?
- How filesystem is handled? Containers have volumes for file system sharing?
- What's the plan for devices management? How my USB
pendrive, speaker or webcam is available inside a
container?
I hope I'm alive when it's not socially acceptable to take/post pictures, and post them online.

I have taken photographs for years. I love getting the right shot. I love photography. I have tons on pictures of loved ones, and all my pets. Hate to call them pets--they are family members.

That said, I don't post every one online.

Maybe it me, but I don't like people who post every aspect of their life. I understand posting if your genuinely excited about something, or have the need to share something new.

Thor Heyerdahl had this theory, Columbus did not go to Norway but his family is of the Norwegian Nobel Bonde family. They lost a power struggle, and had to go abroad, to Genova . This as I recall is based on a book written by a family member of Columbus, think the brother(if he had one). Stating that the name of the family is not from Italy, but it a Latinifaction of the original language from where the family is from. Bonde means farmer (In Norwegian), Columbus apparently means something of the same. He should then know about Vinland (name of America given by Norse explorer) from his family roots in Norway. I also think part of the theory also was him being a period (some years)aboard a Danish or Norwegian ship, this would have given him hint of a land on the other side of the ocean. Also there are Danish tax records stating that the fishing banks outside New Foundland was taxed by the Danish crown, from before Columbus. There are also tails of Norse-Indian settlements encountered by early settlers.. And I think some one found a Indian skeleton in Denmark or Norway some years back.

> finite is quite rigidly defined

It's a bit more subtle. Wikipedia puts it well:

Even for those mathematicians who embrace infinite sets, in certain important contexts, the formal distinction between the finite and the infinite can remain a delicate matter. The difficulty stems from Gödel's incompleteness theorems. One can interpret the theory of hereditarily finite sets within Peano arithmetic (and certainly also vice versa), so the incompleteness of the theory of Peano arithmetic implies that of the theory of hereditarily finite sets. In particular, there exists a plethora of so-called non-standard models of both theories. A seeming paradox, non-standard models of the theory of hereditarily finite sets contain infinite sets - but these infinite sets look finite from within the model. (This can happen when the model lacks the sets or functions necessary to witness the infinitude of these sets.) On account of the incompleteness theorems, no first-order predicate, nor even any recursive scheme of first-order predicates, can characterize the standard part of all such models. So, at least from the point of view of first-order logic, one can only hope to characterize finiteness approximately.
