Yeah but it will have to be done eventually. A lot of the pain in modern programming is trickle down from bad systems abstractions we're stuck with from Unix and its contemporaries.
There are plenty of situations where "good enough" is a better choice, and "not adding yet another tool set or system for our 2 person dev team" has a quality all its own.

There are absolutely situations where it must be both RIGHT and as fast as possible under all loads, and there are situations where it needs to be right and not do WRONG things under abnormal loads. For a startup worrying about handling thousands of transactions can wait until triple digit customers.

Linking to google wasn't meant to be dickish. Wikipedia's article on the topic is sorely lacking and rather than pick some random law firm's blog I thought it was best to just link to google so people could easily read several different people's perspective on the topic.

There's just something "off". Swing components don't behave like native components, even if they try to imitate the look. They also tend not to be as responsive and there are sometimes rendering issues (e.g. Swing buttons sometimes appear blurrier than native buttons depending on the system).
Yes, you are right about there being a choice. This is the core of the problem here. Many I feel look at it and wonder why pass a good opportunity to meet someone, we could both have a chance at something great (unending source of unwanted advances)... The advice about not trying it in professional settings is seen as taking away their freedom to date people, as being rejected without even ability to ask and by it being fundamentally unjust. What they fail to consider is how it look from the other side and how the very same innocent question from their point of view can be seen as some sort of "deal" and part of nightmarish recruitment process.

No - and this is the advantage of JIT compilers which can do that and why they can sometimes outperform static compilers.

Ask HN: What kind of monthly online magazine would you like to see?
I'm preparing an online magazine, similar to the one compellingsciencefiction has (which, as its name implies, is based around hard science fiction)

There are already a couple writers interested in participating, however I'm wondering which theme should the magazine tackle.

Would you read stories where the "topic" is different each month (plague, outworldly invasion, dystopy, etc)? Or maybe the genre changes monthly (fantasy,science fiction, western)? Or would you prefer a magazine that focuses specifically on one genre only, say, fantasy?

Really? Here in Switzerland I get unlimited 4G for $30/month...
Hi everyone, I am an indie iOS/Mac developer (4 years!), I made this Mac app originally to help myself keep track of all my projects. The aim is to keep tasks organised as well as files and emails (you can link messages from Mail.app as well as gmail links). I know there are various web based solutions, but I travel a lot so don’t always have a good connection.

Feedback greatly appreciated, thank you! :-D
A bigger dataset of MIDI with velocity information and performance timing would be really, really great.

High temperature versus low is tough to compare - I find that sometimes low temperature seems better, then I change the random seed and my opinion flips.

Same for stochastic versus deterministic beam search, length/diversity scoring, and so on. I have been meaning to blog on this, will send it your way when I get it posted.

For character text, stochastic seems nicer broadly (maybe due to limited size of markov space, see [0] deterministic vs. [1] stochastic) but for music it depends on the representation I use. However at least in this cherrypicked example, I find the repetition of the deterministic beamsearch hilarious even though it is "worse".

Interesting, I will have to ask him what it was. With that render, at least my bad samples will sound prettier.

Great job on the model again!

The real problem is that OP wasn't even given the details of the accusation. Because even assuming that the accusations are correct, there is likely no malice involved here (not by OP, taking his word on this, and probably also not by the other person, given that he's in an internship). Without the details, OP has no opportunity to correct his behavior and might make the same mistake in the future, whatever it was. That way, everybody loses.

Good question -- the article talks about the case, but doesn't say much about the company.

Well, you'd have those things in any language. A route definition, some kind of namespace, a controller object implementing a method for the route, the last bit being what I posted code for. My point is: Java doesn't need to be worse than other languages in any of those things anymore.
What the (Canadian) Supreme Court’s Google V. Equustek Decision Does Not Do
The only way the CEOs or VCs would get in professional trouble for that behavior is if the women who they were slobbering on were women who they have power over in their business relationships. Rich men can (and do) slobber on as many women they want to who they have no professional relationship with, and nobody has a problem with that. It's fine, as long as you don't bring that behavior into the workplace.

It's not rocket science. You can fool around with as many women as you want, as long as those women aren't subordinate to you in their professional roles. It's when you insist on mixing your business with your pleasure that you get yourself into trouble.

I legitimately cannot understand why so many men have so much trouble understanding this.
Seems hugely overpriced (but then I think the same about most US cell phone services - Fi is a total ripoff IMO, almost £8 per GB is ridiculous).

The string building approach is the fastest, and it's the benchmark to beat. Any other abstraction is just piling more work on top and is generally just a more inefficient way to output HTML. The most lightweight pseudo-DOM implementations are still going to be significantly slower than string concatenation, and I have benchmarks to back up that claim [0].

Realistically, a server-side rendered JS app is also going to run most of the code that runs in the client per page load, so you would also have to consider initialization costs as well. I've had to work on one that took 100+ ms to render a static page (without accounting for network latency), which a static file server could render the same page orders of magnitude faster.

Long story short, most of the newer, non-string based JS server-side rendering does not consider performance a factor and consequently, perform pretty terribly. There are band-aid fixes such as putting a reverse proxy in front or running on super fast hardware, but it's like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound.

I have two legacy unlimited Verizon lines (no throttling but they kick you off permanently if you go over 200GB/month/line). It's more like $100 for the plan (I think this can be slightly cheaper) + another $65 each for the two lines.

That's a good point, and I agree that depending on the gender ratios present, it could be a very uncomfortable situation for minority female attendees. Also, the money shot and guy cuddling with two girls are pretty iffy.

At the same time, however, you are only addressing my first sentence, and my question remains about how to best deal with this: even granting the above, I'm still left with the impression that this guy is largely socially tone deaf and non-malicious, and a product of his culture: so is it possible to make corrections without 'treating the symptom' (i.e. punishing individuals who happen to display symptoms of a systemic issue)—or maybe that's the only way we can get at it?

> If the success of RISC architectures taught us anything, it's that replacing simple primitive operations with special-purpose combinations is rarely worth the transistors.

That's not actually the lesson of RISC. The points of RISC (going back to the Radin paper) were: 1> compilers are "now" (i.e. very late 70s/early 80s) better than humans in many cases 2> there were many tradeoffs in implementing CISC instructions that aren't used by lots of programmers and 3> those tradeoffs blocked you from other optimizations (register/cache files, speculative execution etc).

So if you look at the x86, it's a RISC machine with an x86 instruction set implemented in software (microcode)...only it's more than that: the ID and pipeline scheduling reflect an understanding of the high level opcodes typically used by contemporary compilers.

In addition there is plenty of useful stuff to be done that reflects an object level model: pointer boxing/unboxing (look at the RISC-V pointer cache), kernel/ user mode protection, FPUs and GPUs which treat specific kinds of bit representations specially....

As with all engineering it's all about the tradeoffs.

I wasn't talking about those people, was that not clear? I wrote because you were being either sarcastic or snarky or chronically compassionate.

There are scam artists that stitch the rich tapestry of welfare programs together to make a living. You might choose to look the other way, out of compassion, whereas I choose to look straight at it and call it theft, out of compassion. I am being compassionate (tough love). You are being compassionate (empathy). Both of our voices are important in this discussion.

I actually don't believe you have to sacrifice your belief system to acknowledge there are fraudsters in the system who are a drain on society. Everything I have read about SSD says the fraudulent claims are anywhere between 1% and 25% of the total. I'm willing to accept that as few as 1% of claims are fraudulent, but even 1% would be 106000 out of 10.6 million (2011 numbers), and that's still a ton of fraud just in that one benefit.

Your examples, compliance and audit, can be powerful in helping distill risk management issues and communicate them; however, also consider that, in high risk environments that doesn't make it incompatible with other forms of collaboration on risk.

Both top-down and bottom-up management can be effective, and a combination can be even more so.

Accounting system, Timesheets, payroll system, backup service, cell phone/internet plans, City Centre meeting rooms that can be booked online, HR services (measure employee satisfaction etc.), fruit delivery to the office, flower delivery to the office, excellent quality VOIP with screen sharing.

There are many more, but above are just a few that I'd consider worth it.
I think this [1] is one of the better references I've seen on this question. It's an analysis of bug-counts across Github projects. There's a correlation between number of lines of code and bugs. And there's a correlation between languages that favor simplicity and bugs. But there's not a a correlation between static typing and bugs.

So, I think we can say that you don't choose static typing in order to write fewer bugs.

I've worked in lots of code-bases, both static and non. Indeed, the bug rates are fairly consistent across them. The worst code bases I've seen (from a maintainability perspective) were actually old C++ and Visual Basic ones.

Refactoring is easier in statically typed code-bases. But, in my experience, it's not significantly better. What makes a bigger difference is immutability, functional purity (within reason) and a preference for obviousness (as opposed to, say Ruby-like magic which makes me pull my hair out on a semi-daily basis).

> other developers have their own language and tooling preferences

Of course if you prefer a language, use it, but don't argue that your preference has any bearing on how well your language helps you avoid issues like runtime type errors that other languages don't experience. You either have to write more unit tests, or pray, or be infallible.

> there is no shortage of talented developers preferring dynamic languages

There is also no shortage of talented developers preferring static languages. And given the two, I know which developer I prefer. Especially since I've never worked with an infallible developer, even in the upper echelons.

> Developer iteration times are much faster in dynamic languages

I disagree, I find I'm about as productive in either, but in a dynamic language I have to write more unit tests or pray, and I don't like wasting my time on either.

> tools that enable live programming, Hot reloading, faster run/build cycles have a direct impact on developer productivity

Those features are orthogonal to the type system.
