>I've never stayed in a hotel room that large (neither in the US nor in Europe), more like 20sqm including the bathroom/shower.

That's more or less correct, to give you a data point in Italy the minimum legal size for a hotel room (double, up to 3 star hotels) is 14 m^2 + 3 m^2 (minimum) for the bathroom, but usually they tend to be slightly larger. (the minimum becomes respectively 15+5 and 16+6 for 4 and 5 stars).

For the single it is 8 or 9 m^2 (8 up to 3 stars, 9 for more) + the bathroom (again 3, 4 or 5 m^2 depending on stars).

For 1 or 2 stars hotel it is not compulsory to have a bathroom "en suite", there must be as many bathrooms as (respectively) 40% or 80% of rooms.

On the other hand, the very minimum size that you can legally call apartment (i.e. that has the "dignity" to be identified as "self standing") is 28 m^2 at national level, and a number of cities are increasing this minimum size (locally) to 35 or 40 (or even more).

I don't know what Java's BufferedReader is doing, but it's probably not the optimal thing in terms of IO throughput. I would blame the algorithm long before blaming anything inherent about the JVM.

Erlang is another language where "naive" IO is kind of slow. https://github.com/bbense/beatwc/ is a project someone did to test various methods of doing IO in Erlang/Elixir, and their performance for a line-counting task, relative to the Unix wc(1) command.

It's interesting to see which approaches are faster. Yes, parallelism gains you a bit, but a much larger win comes from avoiding the stutter-stop effect of cutting the read buffer off whenever you hit a newline. Instead, the read buffer should be the same size as your IO source's optimal read-chunk size (a disk block; a TCP huge packet), and you should grab a whole buffer-ful of lines at a time, do a pattern-matching binary scan to collect all the indices of the newlines, and then use those indices to part the buffer out as slice references.

This achieves quite a dramatic speedup, since most of the time you don't need movable copies of the lines, and can copy the line (or more likely just part of it) yourself when you need to hold onto it.

This approach is probably also already built in to Java's "better" IO libraries, like NIO.
I don't really feel like this is an argument against constructors but perhaps an argument that some language designs are better than others...

For example Go does not have constructors and it's very easy to get a nil deref error if you aren't careful.
I'm not talking about China. I was just making an observation that "low quality food" is ultra-processed food. So if the Chinese are now eating ultra-processed food, like many of us in the US or Europe, then it's no wonder that obesity and diabetes is on the rise.

In PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures), it's weighted half as much. Is the median person really paying only 12.9% (or 15.3%) of their income for rent? Seems like it's usually closer to 30-40%, and sometimes higher for the working class. (12.9%-15.3% of median household income is only ~$7740-9180 which would be only $645-765/mo.)

That one at least weights medical care at 22.3% ($13380) vs the 6.2% ($3700) in CPI, although that might be realistic if the median person simply doesn't get medical care because they can't afford it.

When the original announcement came out, wasn't there a big thing about how they were basically flipping a coin and returning a random result every time you checked if you were affected?

>Because rich people don't get rich by spending money

That’s an oft-repeated but incorrect trope. You can’t save your way to being rich. Rich people are either born rich or they spend lots of money on investing into businesses (their own and others).

You also made no supporting argument for why the government is needed to decide what to spend some peoples’ money on. If we eliminated the top 1% and gave everyone else in the US the resulting few thousand dollars each, do you think that would eliminate the need for taxation going forward?
Sure. I think we should tax the shit out of it.

So in the presumably rare case that this happens can one not just add a new view, map it in the GraphQL schema and still come out far ahead on development time?

> How would you respond politely in a situation like this?

“No, thank you.”

Ideas are worthless without execution. It’s unfair to ask for 50% ownership of a result where your contribution was a few sentences to describe the initial idea[1].

> They are not ready to do any kind of investment.

Investment doesn’t have to be monetary. It can also be design or marketing work, or even knowing the right people to give it traction. Assuming they won’t do any of those, it’s an easy “no”.

I’d bet money the idea isn’t even good/profitable[2], because people who think an idea is worth 50% tend to not have any clue of the amount of work it takes to bring it to life, and that just making it is not enough. I’ve had people who refuse to spend money on apps come to me with ideas for apps to make money. My answer was to confront them with that fact: they have zero understanding of what makes a person spend money on an app.

I'm no Java ninja, but a few things jump out of https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk11/blob/19fb8f93c... :

- at least one heap allocation for every line. After it finds the EOL it first uses 'new String' followed by '.toString()

- the C++ version will almost certainly be backing on to memchr() behind the scenes, which will be using SIMD instructions where it makes sense (e.g. large enough scan size, probably true in this case). the Java version is a manual bytewise-coded loop.

- the C++ version is reusing its output buffer, no reallocations assuming the same string length or less

No idea about encodings in Java, maybe that is playing a role too

In London the population decreased throughout the second half of the 20th century and has only recently reached its previous peak of the early 1950s.

Outside of London there are many areas were real estate price are low.

The main issues in the UK are that most of the jobs are around London and that the public transports infrastructure is poor (actually even roads) yet expensive. So many people end having to live around London while paying up to £500 a month to commute on unreliable trains.

Another issue is that flats are frowned upon and usually poor quality.
No, they didn't choose the domain at all. It doesn't belong to them; it belongs to the people managing the settlement.
Google is google because they have gulped down enormous infrastructure and data, leaving everyone else so far behind they 're impossible to catch.

My bet is their algorithms are what everyone expects them to be, and no actionable info will come from this legislation. The real, hard question is how to create a nonmonopolistic market in internet media.

It's very easy to get around, not speaking Japanese is not a huge barrier for visiting. It's also probably not as expensive as you think. As this discussion shows, there is a whole range of sizes/prices for apartments, the same is true for transportation, food, events and hotels. For a trip, I'd recommend $150/day/person but a smaller amount is possible with comprimises.

>If anything the drug you are looking for is Ativan or Xanax

be very careful, these drugs don't fix the problem but rather solve panic attack type situations. if you can breathe, you do not need these medicines. there are lots of other medicines that are not benzos that treat the anxiety at the source.

i am speaking from experience, i was taking ativan "as needed" and ended up in an overnight psych hold as my stress outbursts kept getting worse until my family feared for my safety. stopped all medication for a month, switched to an anti-depressant to sleep temporarily, switched to less agitated medicine, 10 months later i feel like i'm on top of the world and have started taking back ownership of activities in my business.

ativan and xanax wont' stop the stress, it masks it.
Yes the reuse of the buffer in C++ seems likely and would probably explain a large part of the difference, but I don't know enough of the std::string implementation to be sure about that.
You have control over what queries/entities get exposed in the graph. I think what he's saying is that most nested entities can be mapped to simple 'SELECT .. from .. where id = 1,2,3' queries, and a while a well-written JOIN might be more efficient, those have known performance and can benefit from caching, sharding etc.
Unlimited query complexity:

- graphql() function takes "validators" argument for a reason ;) There are multiple strategies for limiting complexity, but common ones are boxing (limiting depth and width of query) or query cost limitation.

For auth, you authenticate user using custom middleware before entering the query executor. Inside query executor you can do one of many things, depending on what makes sense for you: error field resolution, return "null", or return custom type like "ObjectNotFoundError".

For caching, you cache inside resolvers that do something costful, or in data loaders those resolvers call.

This is an all too common problem in development and it's made me very skeptical of coworkers at times who use it "X technology doesn't work or X is garbage" as a justification to switch technologies or spend time prototyping several alternatives.

I encountered this library while trying to embed node.js in a C program, but this is useful in all kind of contexts. As mentioned in the README:

- Interconnect different technologies in the same project. It allows to have heterogeneous teams of developers working over same project in an isolated way and using different programming languages at the same time.

- Embedding programming languages to existing softwares. Game Engines, 3D Editors like [Blender](https://www.blender.org/), among others can take benefit of METACALL and extend the core functionality with higher level programming languages (aka scripting).

- Function as a Service. METACALL can be used to implement efficient FaaS architectures. We are using it to implement our own FaaS (Function as a Service) [https://metacall.io](https://metacall.io/)** based on [Function Mesh](https://medium.com/@metacall/function-mesh-architecture-c030... pattern and high performance function scalability thanks to this library.

- Source code migrations. METACALL can wrap large and legacy code-bases, and provide an agnostic way to work with the codebase into a new programming language. Eventually the code can be migrated by parts, without need of creating a new project or stopping the production environment. Incremental changes can be done, solving the migration easily and with less time and effort.

- Porting low level libraries to high level languages transparently. With METACALL you can get rid of extension APIs like Python C API or NodeJS N-API. You can call directly low level libraries from your high level languages without making a wrapper in C or C++ for it.

This is amazing.
