If you were planning on writing modern Java and targeting JDK 1.3 you'd have just as many libraries.
I definitely agree with this stance, and would say that languages like C# and golang have a weaker runtime but try to make up for it in other ways, often surpassing Java in certain areas. For instance, both languages have stack-allocated types to help stress the GC less. C# also has a much better native interop story than Java, as well as the unsafe keyword.

At the end of the day, if you want amazing performance in Java, you have to write C-like code in Java, and that often involves things like managing your own offheap memory, sticking with arrays of numbers, etc. Java's biggest areas for improvement in the performance arena are going to come allowing for stack-allocated types, fully-continugous arrays, less overhead when calling native code, and providing official APIs for the other things you can currently do with sun.misc.Unsafe.

I got super lucky. Between the design/BOM stage and the actual first manufacturing run, the price of 4Gig micro SD cards dropped below the price of 2Gig ones - so I ended up (at the last minute...) with enough space to do a complete system install on a separate partition. Reduced my fears of remote bricking everybody's devices enormously...

Circle CI 2.0 and their triggered deploys work pretty well, actually. We've been using 1.0 in production for over 2 years and we're about 3 months into using 2.0 and it's working out great.

Our builds are pretty complex and we have tear down scripts that we always want to run even if a build fails and CircleCI does that (on 2.0, finally).

The only thing I wouldn't advise CircleCI for is if you want to distribute your tests across many machines -- and only because it's very expensive!
Nonsense. Nickel-iron asteroids are called "metallic," because they're largely made out of, well, metal. Stony asteroids are called "carbonaceous" because they've got a lot of carbon. They're very definitely not called "metal". And astronomers believe that the core of Jupiter is both hydrogen and metallic -- hydrogen compressed to the point where it acquires the property of a metal.

So: there are many things that are neither hydrogen nor helium nor metal, and a few things which are both hydrogen and metal.
Yes we agree. That's what I am getting at. If he is genuine then OK. If he is trying to get control of your machine then well...
The JVM jit _has_ to do a lot more for performance.

Lack of value types means greater allocation by default - so it needs escape analysis to avoid it.

Type erasure for generic types means speculative optimisation and deoptimisation steps for types.

etc

Doesn't mean the .NET Jit can't improve in these areas (e.g. now its doing devirtualization for .NET Core 2.1, and escape analysis would be great) - but it does start in a better place.
> but I've been told by other people that Microsoft or at least the .NET just generally prefer a simpler approach, without profiling, dynamic compilation, deoptimisation, and other complexity the approach used by the JVM brings. It's much more what-you-see-is-what-you-get from their JIT, rather than the mind-binding things the JVM manages to do with some code, and maybe that makes life easier for their use cases.

Interesting, it's clear after a bit of research that this is the case (i.e. .NET JIT simpler that Hotspot), but it had never occurred to me that it was a conscious decision

I'd always thought that the .NET was just playing catch-up and/or didn't need to do all the things that Hotspot does. (for instance .NET has value types or 'stucts' so some optimisations are not needed because the programmer can just use them instead of classes, if they need the perf boost)

As a FastMail user and staff member, I agree. You’ll be glad to know that when we implement offline support soon (and I’ve been looking forward to doing that since before I started working at FastMail!), startup will be much, much faster, because it will no longer need to ask the server a few questions before it can load the UI—it will already have the answers (though it’ll then ask the server whether anything changed since last time, once it’s finished loading).

I believe network latency is the largest factor in the current slow startup; I imagine it’s a second or more faster in the US than it is in Australia or Spain.

If the cost exceeds the value of what you're mining, you're always better off putting that money directly into purchasing the cryptocoin instead.

Option 2: Spend $10 to obtain $10 worth of BTC

If the market goes up, you are better served by the latter option.

As far as I know, there isn't a conclusive decent public-key algorithm that is quantum resistent.

We know that Diffie Helmann, RSA and their elliptic counterparts are broken in quantum. That was essentially all we had. I know that 'lattice based cryptography' is a potential option, and believe there are more potential options. However, as far as I know it is not even clear whether these are safe against classical computers.

I should note that I don't know much more about 'lattice based crypto' than the name and the hope it is quantum resistent.

Maybe you don't. I wouldn't recommend anyone to use something extremely complex for mission critical architecture, unless unavoidable. If you feel the same, it's probably a perfectly sound reason to avoid Kubernetes if there's no necessity.

When I wrote "extremely complex" I did't mean all that models and concepts from user documentation - they're the easy part (although I haven't used K8s much and probably missing a lot about its user-facing parts). I mean the internals. Because when things break and cluster goes down it's the internals that matter.

I use Docker instead of plain LXC because it adds convenience of layers and versioning while not introducing any significant complexity. I had some issues with libnetwork (which sometimes behaved oddly when containers crash under high load or docker-proxy gets somehow stuck) but I can live with it.

I also prefer Swarm to manual networking. It's trivial to set up and just works under normal circumstances. And I feel confident that I can fix issues reasonably fast. I had experimented with it under some odd scenarios (like a heterogeneous cluster with a mix of x86_64 and armv7h nodes) and when it had (obviously) failed, I was able to quickly find the relevant source code, read it, understand the details and correct the problem (which was trivial but not documented). And if I wouldn't be able to, I'm absolutely certain I would be able to scrap the cluster and script reprovisioning with standalone nodes, Compose and ad-hoc VPNs - I did this when Rancher (old version) had failed me badly.

Now, maybe I'm just too stupid but I can't say this for Kubernetes. I've tried to experiment with it - also under explicitly unsupported conditions - and tried to dig into its documentation and code when it had failed (obviously it did, I was asking for it). However, I was literally overwhelmed by how much there is. What I've learned is a little tiny bit about CNI internals but the primary result was a conclusion "sorry but nope, that's not something I feel comfortable dealing with if I'm to support it". And I don't mean that it fail-prone or anything - just that every software project has its bugs, and sometimes they manifest themselves at really inconvenient times.

On the other hand, Kubernetes is very nice when it's not you who's responsible for its operation but you're just an user. Spin a cluster on GKE and you know Google would take care of it - you'd just have to write some YAML to describe your project and enjoy. In this scenario, I think I can recommend it - even though I haven't ran anything serious on K8s but some toy projects worked without issues and were easy to deploy and maintain. And Kubernetes feels more mature than other options, having lots of nice functionality, supposedly covering a lot of different use cases and scenarios. E.g. Swarm feels like it lacks a lot of stuff - I've subscribed to a lot of tickets for features that I wanted but that aren't yet there.

Just a personal opinion.
To be fair, mapping and geo measuring were forbidden in China even before self driving becoming a popular topic.

Not only the foreign companies, even a lot of chinese companies are still not allowed to do such measurements.

My name is Juilet Arison, and I base in USA...My life is back!!! After 1 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with three kids . I felt like my life was about to end i almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr Ojie, which i met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet,I came across allot of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and so on. i also come across one particular testimony,it was about a woman called Loveth,she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 4 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped Dr Ojie's e-mail address. After reading all these,I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 68hours, my husband came back to me. We solved our issues, and we are even happier than before Dr Ojie, is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man... If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve all your problems for you.

I don't abuse cards or rush to a minimum spend to get benefit from cash back bonuses. I use two different 2% cash back cards for groceries and food, respectfully, and pay off in full each month. in fact, these cards still give the bonuses without even carrying balance to statement close, though not all do (amex comes to mind). I have never accrued interest or fees by using the card on everyday purchases towards cash back benefits. many people are apprehensive to do this and I totally understand why, especially those who don't feel they have self control around spending habits

it is worth it for me, i do have to stay vigilant but it keeps me in check with my budget at the same time. then at the end of the month I will have some extra money to pay for generous tips or a cup of coffee, or to put back in my checking/savings account. it works great for me.

I never use cash unless I am buying marijuana (Washington state but not all stores allow cards at this time). having to manually track my cash spending actually has the opposite effect on frugality awareness for me, because I may forget to notate it, or will be more impulsive because I won't have to see it right away on any bank statements/spend tracker apps

Obviously everyone has their own preferences. Figured I would share my contrary pov!
Very good points. Thank you.
I am glad you understood my statement...

If you can display how "better operating systems" and "make life better for millions" fits together I may change my mind.

Basically anything that is not providing for basic human needs are "rich peoples toys" in my book (in the context of evaluating Gates' moral standards). Operating systems are just not in the same playing field as peace, food, health.

There are some hundred million people living in utter despair. If you mildly inconvenience others in order to help these, you are taking from the rich and giving to the poor.
Not likely. Calling from javascript to webassembly is slow, webassembly can't create js objects, and usually it is not much smaller than the equivalent js code, due to lower level of abstraction.
Not sure what you're asking exactly, but the reason the price keeps going up is that there is increasing demand for it.

Speculators believe the value will go up, so they buy and hold the asset. Each individual's timeline will vary, some will hold for a few days, some will hold for years or forever. But ultimately the price is determined by buyer demand and supply (or lack thereof).

Coin prices are high relative to its recent past. At $1k people though Bitcoin was expensive. $5k, $10k, $15k, same thing. We won't know what the true price is until we the bubble pops and the mania stops.
Ruby, PHP, Go, Python, Javascript & Elixir developer here:

The #1 rule that trumps all, no matter how small or big your project: Use whatever facilitates your work.

Sometimes you need to get things done quickly, sometimes you need to hire a lot of people cheaply/easily, sometimes you need a project to scale. In each of these cases, you may want to use a different tool. For something that's your side project, you probably just want to be able to get work done effectively and enjoy what you're doing. Pick that tool that you most enjoy working with, in that case.

For me, I default to Ruby (and I haven't touched Rails for work in 2 years!). I find it to be a joy to work with. I expect that later, as a I grow as a developer, this will become Elixir and/or Erlang. Sometimes I have to work in Python, because that makes sense for the project. I find it a bit of a slog, but it gets the job done and lets me move on to other things.

If you are a developer learning the ropes, I couldn't recommend a better language than Ruby. Your skills will translate. You will find work. The places that hire junior developers that only care that you know their stack aren't worth your time.

Most of the people that have publicly roasted Rails were wrong, for one reason or another, by the way (especially that Twitter blog post...). Too often, people are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. The best advice I can give you after that first rule is that you should ignore what people say and just get your work done. That's the thing that differentiates people who stay working in this field and those who don't.
It's not that it would cost companies more. It's that companies would have to charge more up front.

Even if customers end up paying the same price in the end they are not thinking about the cost of the tip when ordering their food. They are just looking at the price on the menu.

I don't see the need for another Plex rival. XBMC/Kodi is perfectly fine. It can play local content swimmingly. It can set itself up as a UPnP server so that Roku's, consoles, and Prime sticks can grab its content. It can even setup a web client so that you can access the library in a browser tab on the local network. It's also FOSS.

Really, the only use-case I see where Plex beats Kodi is if you have all of your media stored in the cloud. But I feel like for real media die-hards, that very quickly becomes impractical (e.g. I have about 3 TB of pictures / music / video and storing that all on Amazon S3 servers would run me hundreds of dollars a year).
Or, just to keep their job! I don't take pride in my work but I make good money and I don't want to risk my job. so I do fairly high quality work.

I recently got an apple watch and along the way installed a sleep tracking app. I was skeptical of its accuracy until I realized that I could identify the nights I'd been drinking with 100% accuracy as those nights the tracker didn't seem to think I slept hardly at all. I always knew I'd be tired the next day but this was eye opening.

lightning network?
Well, in Go all files in one directory are part of one package (best practice) and files within the same package do not have to import each other to have access to other functions. Therefore, breaking the package into several files is common practice.

A sane approach to this is for example to create a separate file for each type (Collector, HTMlElement, Request, Response, ...) and its attached functions/methods.

> Then, in a sense, I've lost 0.75 in an attempt to save 0.25.

You have lost more than that, because it is not a one-off decision about a single drink - you are buying information for all your future choices. Suppose you drink 1 coke a day. The difference is $0.25/day or $91 a year. The gain from switching does not stop after a year, it goes on indefinitely, so at a fairly psychologically normal discount rate of 5%, the NPV of the gain is $1871. In order for your experiment to not cover $0.75 and not be profitable, you would have to assign a prior probability of ~0.013% to the generic being as good (or better!) and you switching and reaping a gain of $1871. Which would be crazy because you know that often the generic is fine and frequently is literally the same manufacturer as the brand name, either because they use the same contractors or because it's just price discrimination.

Personally, I make a point of, whenever trying something new like food, to buy 1 of everything and compare them. I am no longer surprised when I find that the generic is as good or better at 1/3rd or less the cost, or that I prefer something I didn't expect to prefer. (Particularly in tea this has paid off in learning that I liked things I didn't remotely expect to like, like 'twig tea'.) It doesn't even take blinded experiments to show this, just trying stuff side by side will often reveal this. I think it's crazy how people will buy the same thing forever and overspend on brand names and buy small quantities. (And then they complain their monthly grocery bill is $400 and they wonder where all the money goes...)
