Startup times are mostly important for scripting or running things in the browser. If you start applications once on the server or desktop and keep them running then steady-state performance is more important.

There also are projects underway to bring AOT compilation / caching of compiled code to the JVM. Right now they're only available to commercial customers due to their experimental nature and the needed support but if I remember the talk correctly they're supposed to be added to openjdk eventually
Search for "rest api standard" you will find a bunch.

While I like standard, and I am always an advocate of standard, I also don't agree with standard body's decision on the exact format. This is the challenge. HATEOS is an absolutely great idea, but also painful to implement, making payload larger. One question I ask is "how many kinds of resource links do I need to supply?"
The fundamental problem being, it's basically impossible to out-earn your ability to spend money.
There's actually a fairly long history of cross-language VMs, with various degrees of success. What usually happens is that they work fine for languages that look, semantically, basically like the native language on the VM. So LLVM works well as long as your language is mostly like C (C, C++, Objective-C, Rust, Swift). Parrot works if you language is mostly like Perl 6 (Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby). .NET works if your language is mostly like C# (C#, F#, Boo, IronPython). The JVM works if your language is mostly like Java (Java, Clojure, Scala, Kotlin). Even PyPy has frontends for Ruby, PHP, Smalltalk, and Prolog.

"Mostly" in this case means semantically, not syntactically. It's things like concurrency model; floating point behavior; memory layout; FFI; semantics of basic libraries; performance characteristics; and level of dynamism. You can write a Python frontend for both the JVM and CLR, and it will look like Python but act like Java and .NET, respectively, with no guarantee that native CPython libraries will work on it.

The problem is that this is where basically all the interesting language-design research is. I wouldn't use Rust for the syntax; I'd use it because I want properties like complete memory safety, manual control over memory allocation, easy (and fast!) access to C libraries, and short startup time. These are all things that Truffle explicitly does not deliver.

It's a great tool if you work in the JVM ecosystem and want to play around as a language designer. But most of the interesting languages lately have created their own ecosystems, and they succeed by solving problems so fundamental that people will put up with having to learn a new ecosystem to gain the benefits they offer.

That's by Roy T. Fielding himself (http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/rest-apis-must-be-hyperte...)

So if it is not HATEOAS it is not REST. Alas, I am not aware about any term which can be used for these Richardson maturity model Level 2 services.
Agreed, and specifically:

> APIs will continue to be a disparate system that requires custom code for every integration until we can embrace the full benefits of REST

Have an example of a client that DOESN'T require custom code to use an API?

I think this entire debate is summed up best by:

> There is no magical "smart client" that somehow knows that rel=comments means that the link leads to comments about the current resource and can figure out it should POST there to create a new comment. It has no idea what the hell a "comment" is. [1]

> But in New York City, you owe the city between 10.6% and 20.0% of your property’s assessed value, every year.

> Let’s put this in perspective. In the very residential and fairly affordable (for Manhattan) East Village, a pre war, 5-story, apartment building with 15 1-bedroom units and a storefront may have a market value of about $5M. “Assessed values” tend to be lower than actual market values (both in NYC and most other cities), so you might end up with an assessed value of half the actual value, or $2.5M.

The author of this article is highly misinformed. The assessed value of a property is often well under 50% of the market value.

I know someone who recently bought a place for just over $7.5m, but the assessed value is under $500k. This property does not have any abatements.

The exact tax rules are somewhat complicated and involve the interaction between rules on assessment ratios, caps on assessed value increases, fair market value models, transitional assessed values, tax rates, abatements, and probably a few other things that I missed.
This is because it just got published in Nature something, the earlier open arXiv version from April is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.02265
Figure 3 is absolutely spectacular, and deserves to be admired by the whole world.
A comment on the inevitable promises of revolutionized data storage: Yes the areal density is fantastically high (>500Tbit / square inch as opposed to 1Tbit/in^2 in bleeding edge HDDs / NAND flash, if I crunched the numbers correctly). But it requires ultrahigh vacuum, preparation of a clean copper crystal, dosing with copper chloride and then writing/reading with a scanning tunneling microscope, maintaining liquid nitrogen temperature.
Also a modern SSD will write about 500MB in a second, while this method would write 500MB in 240 years.
I don't mean to slag it off; we should all appreciate it for being an absolutely wonderful and awe inspiring technical feat. Just don't get carried away dreaming of the applications in your laptop/server/phone.
REST seems like an elephant in a room with some blind folks. Everybody who touches it thinks it's something different than the next guy, and they're all describing only one element of the thing.

That said, I don't actually know what this elephant looks like, either, because everybody I've read on the subject seems to have only a partial understanding of it...thus, I have a partial understanding of it.

If you know what the whole elephant looks like, and have good resources for what makes something actually REST, I'd be interested.

I think we should start to see post-Java9 a less resource intensive JVM, even more so with Java10. The problem boils down to if there exists an alternative ecosystem that is going to be as featureful and as powerful in the meantime. I am bullish on Oracle here, as much as I hate to say it
I still don't see why Yahoo didn't stick to their original purpose of human powered search instead of buying up random companies to try anything.

All they had to do was work out how to outsource the work to users. Why did they not buy StumbleUpon or PearlTrees, which few have heard of?

That and email would have given them a lot of data on their user base.
"In the very residential and fairly affordable (for Manhattan) East Village, a pre-war, 5-story, apartment building with 15 1-bedroom units and a storefront may have a market value of about $5M. [...] You might end up with an assessed value of half the actual value, or $2.5M. That building would likely be subject to the Class 2 tax rate of 12.9%, meaning $322,500 in taxes every year. A typical apartment in these buildings may be $2,500 monthly, and a typical storefront may be $10,000 monthly, making annual rent revenue $570,000. In this scenario, 56.6% of your rent money goes to the city in taxes, and that’s in addition to the NYC income tax of up to 3.876%, NYS income tax of up to 8.82%, sales tax on everything you buy of 8.875%, and other hidden taxes like the MTA tax on every taxi ride you take."

Holy shit. That's insane. That should be criminal.

Job hunting ;)

In all honesty, I find that when people working full-time jobs look for side projects, either their not happy with the job they have or their job underpays them. (That's not to say that working on fun side projects that happen to lead to revenue is a bad thing, but seeking side project revenue is not a great indicator).

Although I am a fan of the LISP school of program design (minimal global state, build small functions and macros, make sure they work, and than build more functions and macros on top of that, until you have an abstraction that you can build your app on), Carmack raises some interesting points: If you're handling a lot of global, mutable state, you may want to abstract minimally, so that you can see where that state is mutating, which makes bugs easier to spot.

Not a bad idea.

I formulated the attack myself with your numbers seeming similar. It's one of reasons I didn't trust Tor. The success rate described in Snowden docs indicate NSA might be doing this experimentally. I don't think they're fully committed to point where they're running most nodes or anything. Being careful.

The difficulties wouldn't be as much as it seems. They probably wouldn't even be shut down that often. Just a small number of high-bandwidth nodes from front companies would net them a lot of intel. They could also partner with Five Eyes and Euro agencies as they all seem to want to de-anonymize Tor users. Each could have fronts doing it with their own operational techniques to muddy the situation up. Again, probably already do in a small way.

We haven't even discussed QUANTUM-ing the Tor servers. They really, really need memory-safe machines & implementations from CPU up if they're expecting to withstand high-strength attackers. Haven't looked at code or supported OS's in a while but I'm guessing default implementation doesn't fit that bill. ;)
Hypothetically an intelligence agency could "persuade" hosting companies not to shut down their boxes. One could speculate that they might do so by staging an investigation of their own box, thus getting two boxes in place.

Chris is also reasonably active here.

I've had the pleasure of discussing some of his jRuby work with him in the past (I occasionally plod along with own Ruby compiler in Ruby - it's nowhere near complete) and they've done a lot of impressive work to demonstrate how compiling Ruby into fast code is largely about assuming people will behave sanely (e.g. people won't usually give Fixnum#+ side-effects, or make it return weird stuff), but add fallbacks for when they do.

This is the big challenge with Ruby: The subset of Ruby that people actually tend to work in is largely very predictable and possible to compile efficiently, but there's a lot of stuff around the fringes that people expect to work on the very rare occasions that we use it.

I've met a lot of Turkish students in New York over the last 10 years who have absolutely no plans to go back to their country ever.

The friends I had growing up whose parents were Turkish diplomats all have no plans to go back (their parents/family included) and from what I heard most of their colleagues found ways to stay as well.

I think many who would react are finding ways to leave instead.
Honestly, when I wrote the post, I thought I recalled that Windows had strdup (Windows does include some limited POSIX functionality, IIRC; e.g., "select" definitely exists, and is also a POSIX function, so I figured surely strdup was there.) MSDN seems to indicate that Windows does in fact have strdup — and that it's "deprecated" in favor of "_strdup", which appears to do exactly the same thing as strdup… what on earth is going on here?

تور مشهد در هتل های ۲ ستاره ورود ۲ مرداد ۹۵ – تور مشهد نیمه اول مرداد
Interesting angle. Funding for prop F in SF (which would have placed tighter restrictions on airbnb) largely came from the hotel unions and affordable housing advocates, not the hoteliers themselves.

http://www.businessinsider.com/airbnb-spends-8-million-again...

I wonder if these are somehow connected, interesting to think about. It might also explain the huge gap in funding on the measure.

It'd be interesting to see if this were the case for a similar measure in NYC.
Your theory is shockingly convincing.

However, it would require Erdogan to be quite an intelligent, long-term thinking person. Which, in my eyes, has to be questioned considering how he is so emotional and short-tempered that he picks any tiny, meaningless war he can get, even if it means suing teenagers who "offend" him.

That's what, based on my limited understanding, is what distinguishes him from Putin. Putin is in many ways similar to Erdogan, but he actually knows that many minor fights are not worth pursuing. Which is why we the Internet can create cartoons and collages ridiculing Putin without being sued by him :)

Seeing Erdogan lacking essential personality traits of a good leader, I somehow have a hard time seeing that he is capable of that type of long-term planning. But who knows. He nevertheless managed to get quite far.
Uhh. I wish you could atleast understand this lingua franca you constantly speak of (see disclaimer above). If not please don't bring this moralizing non-sense. Narratives don't make for either logic or reason.

I'm not even sure you understand philosophy or the epistemological meanings of the words you are so desperate to bolster these stupid narratives.

See, the thing is, you don't invalidate any of what I said.

- 90% of India's population does not speak English. This is not "mere opinion".

- EU uses 24 official languages; companies work in the language of the state. East-Asian companies work and do engineering in their respective languages. Unless you claim Indian languages are somehow intrinsically "useless", your narrative is full of BS.

- It's not about "speaking" as was mentioned earlier. It was obvious I was talking about technical/commercial usage. I'm glad it's required in the Govt; it appears this is only the case for low-level jobs. It looks like the country's laws etc. (apparently even the courts ?) function in English. Countries in East-Asia do engineering/business etc. in their own respective languages, some borrowing terms from English, and others (like CN) going out of their way to avoid them.

I don't mean language usage in the Kitchen; I'm not even sure how this can be "economically useful".

- You invalidate nothing written in the NyT article.

Your "argument" is essentially one saying, "ah it's too much work to keep our own identities, so let's just adopt one of the old colonizer". What a pathetic country, and what a fall.

Noam Chomsky notes somewhere the corruption these idiots in post-modernism have on the third world, where intellectuals are desperately needed. I can see what he meant.
If you write and document your DSL well, the cognitive load is minimal, unless you need to plunge into the implementation. And it's not hard to write a DSL: I wrote what looks a heck of a lot like a DSL for a very simplistic piece of IF I wrote with maybe 5 exposed functions, and no macros.
If your working from an existing code base then it's not green field development. It literally means development that lacks constraints imposed by prior work. For example sticking with an exiting language, OS, compiler, etc. is a constraint.

So, clearly we are talking about something different.

A trade agreement is not required for trade, at least as far as I understand it. The absence of one just means you have more flexibility (subject to WTO restrictions) in applying tariffs, but with a weaker pound tariffs become less relevant.

Can you provide some numbers that do match reality? I'm really curious how this works out because the tax rates are an order of magnitude higher than elsewhere.

This is right on money.

The test engineers as well as the implementation engineers also have a lot of experience within their specialized areas. This provides a lot of insight into expected results when running these different types of tests and scenarios.

Also, these tests are long duration. Multiple iterations of simulations can take years to complete.
