There are a variety of trends which could be happening and which might explain this particular cohabitation-with-one's-parents phenomenon without having to mean that the current young generation has less wealth than its predecessors.
As a neighbor (Dutch) I can totally understand it and I still laugh pretty much every time I hear flickr[1]. Still, if I finally found a cool name for my project after a long search (it often is), I'm not going to cancel it just because it "sounds like" penis in Arabic or something.

That is incredible. I think that with games in particular, it is very easy to feel like you will never bridge the gap between where you are and whatever current AAA game is doing. It's easy to forget that those games we compare to are made by huge teams. The smaller games that are created by individuals and small teams are the product of a lot of effort. One simply has to stay the course and understand that a game is not made overnight. Still, it can be discouraging.

What's stopping Swift from using the C# dynamic keyword scheme as a starting point?

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd264741.aspx

C# does an excellent job of bridging dynamism and hard types.

The use of the dynamic keyword ensures that you know you are bridging to an area where the "." is not type checked, and is strictly evaluated at runtime.

There may be too many hooks into the reflection area of C# / .NET, however that can be mitigated in other ways within the confines of Swift.

Could even have an 'if ... let' Swift scheme that attempts to conform an object to a specific dynamic protocol. Example: Define an expected interface as a protocol, then do a 'dynamic if..let cast' which will ensure that all members from the protocol are present on the Swift object.

Very interesting. I wonder how this compares to writing events to a Parquet (http://parquet.io/) or Avro (or both) file - this way all manners of distributed tools like Hive or Spark could already read it.
This shows incredible promise for being used as the basis for an Event Store type database system.

Doesn't sound like the Cray Graph Engine is available separate from the Urika-GX package. Not that it necessarily would be useful without the Cray programming environment, but the open source remarks are unclear and make one wonder if they're going to release it to the public.

Weird. I wouldn't ever do anything like that with Neocities. Downloading a site is a button click on the bottom of everyone's dashboard (it spits out a zipball of the files). Flash is anachronistic as all hell anyways.

It's weird to me that they're hosting web sites that need inline MySQL at all, but I suppose they probably do a lot of fancy backend stuff. Much better to async queue any data sending unless it needs to be inline. Much better than that is to static cache.

We're straight up static + nginx for all site serving, via an anycast geo CDN. Logging is passively provided by the nginx logfiles, which are parsed hourly asynchronously. It's a pretty good system, and about as fast as site delivery can get. I guess I don't know what Wix offers for site features, but for simple web sites, why bother with a database for web site display at all?

That said, I agree with the article's premis. I'm partisan to PostgreSQL but it's dumb to say it doesn't work and that some wacky new TrendDB that doesn't handle fsync or atomicity correctly (and therefore is TEH SCALE!) is somehow better for this job.
The article points out that college-educated millennials are less likely to live with their parents than millennials who have not been to college.
I don't think that's right. The percentage of living alone has also grown a lot recently, according to the graphs in the article.
Easier? Hmmm.

Yep, the test is considering all the calls to get() and getIn() as part of the React render overhead but these methods are much slower than accessing properties directly. Running a comparison after removing the ImmutableJS state and adding version tags to the players (the game object can use its "clock" as a version), the production React implementation seems about twice as fast (1518 ms for React, 3377 ms for Vue, not at all scientific though).

Here's the implementation without ImmutableJS:

https://github.com/guscost/VueReactPerf

Note: Using version tags with shouldComponentUpdate is a great way to optimize for speed, but then you're responsible for updating all your versions manually. If you forget one, the component will "freeze" and you may spend some time tracking down the problem. Just a friendly reminder that immutable data and unoptimized components are both better in this respect.
Same for voting. What's your point?
Yes, homes in the interior of the continent are more affordable. But in my experience, none of the inland cities have a tech-job market robust enough to warrant buying a house with a mortgage, except maybe Chicago. And I wouldn't want to live there again, because of the corruption.

So you can easily afford to buy a house, but when you have to move for a new job 3 years later, your equity may just be eaten up by closing costs and market fluctuations, and you might as well have been renting the whole time.

There's just nowhere in the US where I feel like I might still be in the same spot 10 years from now. And even if I did inherit a house from my parents, I'd just have to sell it, because their city--my hometown--is absolute crap for tech jobs.
It's actually in beta now. :)
At what point do I get to tout out the No True Scotsman paradox? Every NoSQL solution whether as its own DB or built into another one (like Postgres) I've worked with I've either hated (Couch, Mongo, Cassandra, Neo4j), or relegated to _very_ specific use-cases (Riak, Redis, Postgres).

I agree with the Wix team. I've used Mongo in a very high volume site and it was a constant source of headaches. We even had an engineer we called "MongoDB" because he was constantly having to deal with scaling it. It didn't even handle more than 10% of the application data, it was strictly for timelines; the rest of it was in trusty old MySQL. If we'd just done blobs as JSON in MySQL in the first place we would have been completely fine.

Even though I prefer Postgres, knowing nothing else, I would prefer 100% SQL in MySQL than a Postgres backed application that splits the storage between tables and KV store.
Our users produce tons of great viral content. And while it is short, it is much easier to consume and become viral. So it could be a perfect marketing tool for brands.

I don't think we have free trade (although I would certainly support it!). I think we probably are richer than we were pre-war. We're just not at the peak we were after the war when we had a monopoly on success.

We also profited greatly supplying the wars. We haven't had a "market" like that since then. The US was mostly its own customer during the cold war.

So much of the most comfortable housing stock in America is single-family "McMansion" type homes. The type of suburban detached house that likely the majority of middle-class American millennials grew up in.

For a young adult in the current economic climate, the only way you're living in one of these cushy homes is if you're living with your parents.

You can't rent one very easily, since they can't be divided up into multiple units or rented at all due to zoning and HOAs. Not to mention it's not typical to be a renter in these neighborhoods to begin with, so even finding a rental is nearly impossible in some areas.

Then of course, after the housing bubble crashed and the subsidies went away, a mortgage for one of these became a big challenge to achieve, and who has the savings sitting around for upkeep and emergency maintenance?

Boomer parents, and a handful of lucky gen-xers are pretty much the only people who could comfortably acquire and hold onto these houses, so it only makes sense that sticking to them like glue is the best strategy if you wanted one.

And there's also the fact that it's just not cool to live in the 'burbs, where you grew up, in the first place. The mental justification has to be "well I'm saving money at least". Saving money, means crashing with the parents. After all, it's "just temporary".

Those are at least my very subjective observations that might be overlooked in that study...
I don't agree. I work with static analysis daily and idiomatic code is the easiest to analyze.

If coverity isn't catching the bugs and they are undefined behavior bugs then coverity needs to be more aggressive.

But it probably doesn't support things like ownership annotations, and it probably gives up strict checking in order to avoid false positives.

The problem is developers. Developers are lazy. Most developers won't even turn on compiler warnings, never mind using the sanitizers.

So tool makers create sub-par tools to cater to them. Fewer false warnings means more customers, even if it also means fewer security holes.

It's why we use an in house tool and crank up the checks to 11.

Maybe you can, but realistically very few others can. I have the technical skill to do it, but certainly not the time.

For the great majority of end-users, many/most don't know they are being spied on, few grasp the scope of it, very few understand the technology or have the skills to do anything about it, and few understand the consequences.

One reason few understand what's going on is that companies (and government) take steps to hide it. If everyone is choosing to do it willingly and there's nothing wrong, then why hide it?

>>Consider that it is normal to live with parents in many other countries.

The normalness of living with parents correlates with the country's wealth per capita. Since most people in poorer countries cannot afford to own houses, they end up sharing houses their families own. Over time, the commonness of this occurrence becomes accepted as the norm.

It is NOT a good thing that the phenomenon is becoming common in America, because it indicates stagnating or declining wealth levels among the middle class.

I'm looking at the original research [1] and it looks as if the percentage of people living alone or as single parents has increased significantly (like 3-5x). Which doesn't invalidate your point.

Android uses dlmalloc, which is basically the parent of ptmalloc2 and rather similar. With using the NDK, I have doubts that you'd be able to mix and match mallocs. I'm not finding any benchmarks one way or another with OpenBSD's malloc, other than the caveat that in debug mode, it becomes a lot slower, so I imagine that performance is similar.
I think three-generation households have been somewhat common throughout most of history, even in the USA (although admittedly probably not in the sort of high-rise apartment buildings where many people live now).

AFAIK Druid is for time series and it's a columnar database. Their format has dimensions and then pre-aggregated fields on those dimensions. Afterwards you can run SQL queries on that data format to get full aggregations in return.

This is a library to read and write a data format that is optimized to give access to granular events and actors within an event stream. For example this could be used to trail all of the events generated by one entity (credit card, cookie, email, account and so on) over a dataset. At that point you can choose what you want to do with it: extract features for ML, train ML directly on raw data, run arbitrary queries for outliers and anomaly detection and what have you.
It's caused by corruption in local governments. Not enough housing is being built; this means that prices rise until enough people are living with their parents or with enough roommates to cover the shortfall. The reason not enough housing is being built is because local governments are preventing it, using zoning. If the restrictions were loosened, rents would fall. If the restrictions were eliminated entirely, they'd fall precipitously.
When the drugs don’t work
It happens with all big companies. I don't think Cook is a bad CEO, he's just not a -great- CEO. He also had the unlucky chance to step into Steve Jobs' shoes, and also came in so late in the cycle that much of the market is already saturated.

Similar happened to Balmer, he came in after the boom was over. But tried to push into new markets (and failed.) I don't honestly think Balmer was a bad CEO, he was just very bad at pushing into new markets...and they already had the FTC on their backs, so their strangle hold on the existing market was diminished. Doing walled gardens like Apple and Google did would draw FTC ire, so they couldn't really do it.

In the end, Apple doesn't have the FTC on its back, basically controls the supply chain. They'll be fine, but they are in a saturated market and their explosive growth is over. Investors are much more interested in explosive growth in tech than slow steady cash flow.

I'm more concerned about the Google model than the Apple model. Apple's margins will probably fall, but I think the Google PPC cashcow is soon going to hit a wall as millennials become the majority and their adblockers and immunity to online advertising drives down conversions.
> I'm not sure that the folks who trade their privacy for a discount coffee count as "desperate" in any sense of the word.

I think you have a point, but consider that there are many people who are counting every penny. But more importantly, consider the larger point that privacy shouldn't be only for those who can afford it.

The number one elephant in the room is that the cost of living is increasing while most salaries are not.

It was supposed to be the other way around but urbanization seems to be a major factor for why that doesn't happen mostly because of the increasing value of real-estate that comes with urbanization.
Java is interesting because it's always prioritized backwards compatibility, but the changes that have shown up recently or are in progress are pretty big: lambdas, value objects and type inference can all be argued to go against some important aspect of how the language was originally conceived.

You might argue it's changed the least, but only because all languages change a great deal.

I don't drink coffee. But when I make tea at home, I can almost immediately take a sip from a spoonful. I can't actually drink it from the mug because it is much too hot. If I poured it all over my lap and then sat in it until it cooled, I would be seriously injured, yes.

> How do you know it's true? Many, many people routinely prepare coffee for themselves that is hotter than McDonald's provided.

Ok, I'm not exactly sure what we're really disputing here. To clarify, I was just agreeing with the sentiment of GP's claim that "every cup of coffee you've ever had in your life was at a lower temperature than what McDonald's was serving up". You're right that as a literal statement it is probably not true.

The real point is whether McDonald's coffee was being served at an unreasonably hot temperature. Based on what I saw in the movie, and read on the Consumer Attorney's of California website, and based on my experience with current/post-lawsuit McDonald's coffee temperatures (which I still find exceedingly hot), I find it entirely believable that the coffee was served at an unreasonably hot temperature.

More context:

> Mrs. Liebeck’s injuries were far from frivolous. She was wearing sweatpants that absorbed the coffee and kept it against her skin. She suffered third-degree burns (the most serious kind) and required skin grafts on her inner thighs and elsewhere.

Liebeck’s case was far from an isolated event. McDonald’s had received more than 700 previous reports of injury from its coffee, including reports of third-degree burns, and had paid settlements in some cases.

Mrs. Liebeck offered to settle the case for $20,000 to cover her medical expenses and lost income. But McDonald’s never offered more than $800, so the case went to trial. The jury found Mrs. Liebeck to be partially at fault for her injuries, reducing the compensation for her injuries accordingly. But the jury’s punitive damages award made headlines — upset by McDonald’s unwillingness to correct a policy despite hundreds of people suffering injuries, they awarded Liebeck the equivalent of two days’ worth of revenue from coffee sales for the restaurant chain.

This is always interesting to think about. In the US, living with parents after adult age seems to equate to enmeshment and codependency between parent and child. I think codependency is particularly definable in cultures like America's where individualism is valued. An Asian family doing the same thing may be seen as not-codependent due to a culture of not going against your family and collectivism rather than individualism. I would go insane living with my family or at least have a reduced sense of freedom, but I'm American so I've got the freedom and individualism values deeply embedded.

I didn't just mean refcounting, but simply managed ones (i.e. "smart" pointers), in contrast to raw pointers which require manual management.

Shared pointers (as in ref counting) is just an example of that, so I understood the above comment as implying that game development somehow encourages manual pointers management. May be I just understood the intention wrong, and it didn't mean to exclude other types.
