> Java itself isn't necessarily slow, it's the application design.

Java itself is a language, and cannot be slow or fast. However, the most popular (and thus well-supported) implementations of Java are slow. On those implementations, the idiomatic way of writing Java leads to massive amounts of memory allocations, which force Garbage Collector to allocate much more memory than it needs and perform complex collection strategies. Many allocations also destroy memory locality and completely negate the effect of CPU cache.

> Would it benefit from being compiled with GraalVM?

Maybe, maybe not. But GraalVM, at least for now, is not the standard way of running Java programs.

I think the point of the parent comment was that it's bad to choose Java for anything other than long-running server-side applications (where JIT compilation with Hotspot might actually prove valuable for squeezing out those last few percent of throughput). For anything else, Java is really a sub-optimal choice - the startup time is horrible, the speed is not really great, and the JVM maintenance is painful. For a build tool, which is invoked many times to do relatively small amounts of work (compared to long-running server-side applications), it just doesn't make sense.

Interestingly, that is also the analysis that most central banks make. Their monetary policy sets a positive target inflation rate for this exact goal.

However, that monetary policy is often a large part of why people use Bitcoin.
I'm confused. So were they actually good speakers to begin with, or was it the measurement device + tuning that made bad speakers sound good? Mind sharing the brand of speaker?

Because the people profitting from the direct causes of many of these issues, fossil fuels and industrial meat, started a culture war with the people who were concerned about them.

Anyone who popped their head up to address any of these problems was attacked and undermined by very well funded adversaries.

We have an open source tool for moving off VMware to KVM:

Hang on, so multi tonne vehicles are designed with the rolling stock equivalent of anaerodynamic stability managed by black boxes?

I guess this is situated for latency but more likely installation and loom cost controls, close to the rear axle therefore more exposed to moving accident damage and at least to my casual reading of owner enthusiast fora unknown to educated owners and the public - rather like the Eurofighter Typhoon?

How can such designs pass DMV / MOT tests with inherent rolling instability in failure mode?

Or is there failsafe?

Edit: I should have said multi tonne vehicles intended by design to be driven fast and at limits including load limits.
Ask HN: Developers, what are your biggest pain points?
Be it with regard to day-to-day responsibilities, or with the recruiting process, what stands out to you as significant pain points?
You are kinda arguing against your point.

Around the year 1000, it's a reasonable guess to assume that emergence of new species and species extinction were roughly in balance, so net extinction rate was indeed around 0.

Today, it's well-established that this net extinction rate is as horrible as is described. A few new species emerging here and there are not enough to compensate for the mess that we are causing on the extinction front, by orders of magnitude.
That I knew. My hope was that someone smarter than me on HN has some good strategies that could help mitigate the biggest risks :)

But you don't live in thise countries and they are sovreign, you do not get to project your ways on others as if they are superior. A bunch of uneducated ignorant people voting for the loudest asshole isn't a perfect or better way either. America and the wesr enjoy a nice economy and military so things are ok there are many countries where democracies devolve into civil wars and dictatorships or worse because people aren't happy and the loudest scariest dude wins in a democracy. The whole point of sovreignity is that the people of that countey self-determine without outside influence. Now, if your country recognizes some component of a foreign state as the legitimate ruler then by all means but both dprk and russia are ruled by american recognized rulers so by what law or reason outside of social media rage do you justify your outrage?

Regardless of the ruler or government invading another country means more countries that have an interest in the invaded country can get involved because sovreignity was violates. In case of hitler the moment he invaded another country it was everyone's concern just like putin but before that it was only the german people who had a say in who leads them. If I remember right even hitler was voted in and his socialist party won election because they were loud and scary.

Twitter is a company that operates under US laws not under the laws of random public outrage. If you want your government to sanction doing business in russia or declare war on it by all means call your rep or discuss that until then it is perfectly acceptable for twitter to operate in Russia which means obeying their laws.

By your logic, what if a UK company refuses to block illegal content in the US. They are both democracies so the UK co should obey laws? But if the US became a dictatorship then it should break laws? What is this nonsense, you expect companies to break laws because you don't like the government of a foreign country?

I start to think these days one has to write like this and fill the page with 2k words of fluff before getting to the point if one hopes the website to show up in Google.

I recently struggled a lot with a technical problem. I searched and searched and I couldn't find a solution. Then I discovered a solution myself and I created a short blog-style tutorial how to resolve it.

As far as I know the only one on the Web, but does it show in Google search results when one searches for exact phrase or quite rare keywords used? No way, I've added it to Google, Google scanned it, and that's it.

Searching for the problem you find my forum posts where I ask (unsuccessfully) for help about it and maybe few more people doing the same,nothing more.

Perhaps instead of writing my blog entry for humans (state the problem, describe a solution). I should've written it for Google bot in a format of:

- State a problem
- why do we have this problem
- what is the history of stuff we have the problem with
- a personal story how I saved my dog while working on the solution
- at the very end one sentence that hints at a solution (don't just give it away! Make 5 pages talking about it instead!)

That's why we can't have nice things.

Money laundering is real, but for some reason everything that I read online (e.g. in news articles or comments) about it is complete nonsense.

E.g. here the nonsense is why money that you already have in a bank account needs to be sent to someone else via 1000s of random small transactions. At best that would add a layer of confusion, but you still have the money laundering problems for the sending and final receiving person.

Twitter has controversial moderation policies. It also has some sort of machine-executed algorithm for selecting which tweets to show to each user, and in what order.

Both of these mechanisms could be used to promote or suppress specific topics/stories.

Many people, including a very large number of journalists, use Twitter as a news source.

Taken together, I can absolutely see why nation state actors would want to exert control over Twitter.

> This is leading to quite irresponsible reviews. Instead, authored and credited reviews might lead to more responsible reviews, or reviewers respectfully declining when they might not know the topic.

That misses the whole point of anonymous reviews, or even anonymous voting.

You want your work to stand by itself. Otherwise you're blasting open a very corrupt door where appeals to authority, petty politics, careerism, and funding play a role in how a paper is approved.

> Instead, in CS, there is a tendency to hide behind an abrasive negative review when the reality is that the reviewer does not understand the paper.

Isn't the whole point of a paper to present a topic in a clear and understandable way, so that your peers are able to cut through the bullshit?

If you pick a journal to publish your paper, which means you explicitly want the paper's editors to go through each and every single line of text you wrote to poke holes, but in the end once those holes are picked you complain that the journal you picked is not the right one for your flawless paper and that they all suck and their problem is that they don't understand your genius, what does this say about you and your work?

When you pick a journal you pick the subset of your peers to review your work. If your peers point out problems then why not listen to them?

To put on my best British accent "complete rubbish".

The UK runs world-class trials in adoptive cell transfer and other cell based therapies for cancer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4442586/

I surmise it was the radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery that contributed most to a 5+ year survival and no evidence of disease. This is available worldwide. Adoptive cell transfer has a complete response rate of 10-30% in unselected patients.

By far the most important recent advance in metastatic colon cancer is PDL1 directed immunotherapy for microsattelite instable colon cancer. This is also readily available in the UK

If it’s really important to you and you can afford it - once you have some basic understanding and vocabulary - go live for 3 months in an English speaking country (or whatever language you’re trying to learn).

It may seem radical but as far as I know it’s by far the fastest way to learn. 3 months seem like a lot, but I believe you can reach the level that would take several years of learning with usual methods.
Maybe it's an unfair assumption on my part, but the post starts out exactly in the format of deliberately written /r/IAmVerySmart satires. But it's not. Just because you're using polite vocabulary does not mean bare toothed sentiment doesn't read through.

Nope, even with items like fridges it's intentional.

Most people have not bought a fridge in the last month. Most people will not buy one in the next month. Taking your estimated 99%, that leaves 1% who just bought a fridge but it doesn't work, or didn't fit their room, or for whatever other reason they've sent it for a refund... and are about to want a fridge again!

1% might sound low, but if you look at the group of people who haven't just bought a fridge... maybe only 0.1% of them will buy one in the next year, vs. that suddenly huge-seeming 1% of recent fridge buyers. Suddenly, not such a bad idea to advertise to them :)

I drove a BMW x5 a couple of years back, and it piped fake engine noise into the cabin. IIRC, it was a petrol v6/v8, so was quite capable of making it's own sound, so the whole thing was pointless - but worse, the fake engine noise sounded totally fake! Honestly, I felt pretty silly with it enabled!
This is great, thanks! (and thanks Joe!)
I didn't watch the whole thing but I agree with Twitter's CEOs comments but more importantly why is this an issue Twitter is deciding? If the government of Russia is not recognized by the US or if Twitter should not obey certain Russian laws/orders or cease business there then the very functional and legitimate (sarcasm) democratically elected government of the US can declare sanctions to that effect. Whether you agree with putin or not Russia is in a state of war and you are expecting twitter to not censor things?? Do you think the US government does not do the same thing or did everyone forget Snowden's leaks? So much half-baked hypocrisy around this whole sentiment.

Trick question; they are both artificial.
The problem with audio in general is that its really difficult to find decent reviews of the product.

I used to work as a tech in a recording studio (along with a theatre and TV studio) We have a set of nearfield speakers, and that was about it.

However audio reviews are basically:

"Its got punchy bass" and "sounds a bit woolly" or "has brilliant clarity in the upper regions" are about as descriptive as review get.

Not only that but "high end" audio is replete with proper charlatanism. Without trying the devices, its impossible to assess how good they are.

personally, I have a second hand denon HDMI decoder thing, with airplay. I have some cheap surround speakers. The thing that separates it from "high end" amplifiers is that it has a microphone to add some basic DSP filtering during a calibration stage. It gives a decent flat reproduction of what's coming into the amp (ie its not mid or treble heavy), and cost about £250 all in (the amp was second hand)
“We’ve always done it this way so we’re not about to change”, or a customer somewhere has an audit checklist that mandates password rotations every 3 months.

I know of people stuck with such a moronic password change policy, and the new password can’t be the same as the last five or whatever. So they change the password five times in a row so they can keep using the same password over and over.

This kind of thing makes me so so so depressed about work. It’s overwhelmingly self inflicted suffering for no benefit, and it makes millions of people miserable for nothing.
> If there was some crypto without any incentives of hodling long term

There are some that strongly discourage speculation by having a purely linear emission, which after n years still has a yearly supply inflation of 1/n and takes a whole century to get down to 1%. Offering the same rewards to later generations helps avoid concentration of wealth that most cryptocurrencies, especially premined ones, suffer from.

Now you’ve scaled back from hundreds of years to a just as arbitrary 100 years.

I assume you’ve led with Germany to address the very obvious WW2, when Germany turned the entire continent into a bloodbath. Ok, let’s skip that one :-)

There were the Cod Wars, which were mostly boat ramming affairs, if it weren’t for the fact that Iceland threatened to leave NATO, expel US forces and broke diplomatic relations with the UK at some point.

There was the Turkish Cypriot conflict, which continues to smolder until the present day.

Quite a few civil wars and uprisings.

Then the big Yugoslav war, where a defensive alliance oddly decided to go on the offensive.

The next big war was the current one in Ukraine.

Rather quiet given Europe’s bloody past. But if we look outside Europe, we see that the warfare just moved to other places. Falklands, Iraq twice, Syria, Libya. Not to mention the French and British colonial empires.

Core NATO are no slouches at invading and making war. So what’s the point in trying to make Russia seem irredeemable? We measure with very different standards what we do vs. what they do. Makes it easier to justify militarization, spending enormous amounts on weapons, reducing civil liberties, etc if you have an evil enemy.

Edit: forgot to answer your question about expansion. Because the likely outcome of not expanding would have been Belarus, Georgia or Ukraine in the 00’s, not invasions and war. This is not some far-fetched theory, Russian and ex-USSR leaders were repeatedly advocating for it and US and German/French politicians were obviously aware of it and in agreement. Post Bush the 1st the US changed its policy and went on a NATO expansion quest.

If Musk made an offer when the market was up, and didn't get a response, then walked the offer back when the market fell, that is perfectly ok. But once an offer is made and then it is accepted, I call that a contract. Markets can't be predicted accurately very far in the future, that is their nature. As you say, had the market stayed strong, Musk wouldn't have waffled... then it should be equally fine if instead Twitter reneged on their acceptance, but I don't think that is the case. Musk would have sued, which is exactly what Twitter is doing.

But I think Musk must have expected the share price to climb past what he was offering, and whether his stating his plans to monkey with Twitter had any effect on the share price, it seems obvious that was his intention, to effect the price of Twitter shares. Clearly it either backfired, or it had no effect, or it had the intended effect.

Wikipedia has a list[1] of statements which are not provable in (or rather independent of) ZFC.

IMO the most weird thing is the following, intertwining consistency of ZFC with Diophantine equations[2]:

> One can write down a concrete polynomial p ∈ Z[x1, ..., x9] such that the statement "there are integers m1, ..., m9 with p(m1, ..., m9) = 0" can neither be proven nor disproven in ZFC (assuming ZFC is consistent). [...] the polynomial is constructed so that it has an integer root if and only if ZFC is inconsistent.
