What I find quite amusing is that all these posters bashing OOP, end up using languages that actually do offer some form of OOP, as they seem to lack the understanding that Java OOP is not the only way of doing OOP.

As all modern languages, even functional ones, have OOP support.

I'm going to go ahead and guess here that Tesla is going to have to give up on launching the 4,785 pound Model S to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. There might not be a possible gearbox that can do that for the life of the car and fit the cost/size constraints of a sedan.

Another case of "just because its possible doesn't mean you should". It will be fixed with 3 lines of code (to create a gear friendly torque curve) and a whole lot of PR to explain it.

>I agree. Consumer Reports did a survey of Model S owners and found that it was reliable enough to warrant a strong recommendation, and that "no owner in our survey has reported problems with the electric drivetrain"

Consumer reports has a reliability rating of "average" on the Model S, and according to the Tesla forums themselves, the Model S was on the list of "Used Cars to Avoid".

Because the complexity of the game, emerging from such simple rules, is just stunning.

Because you can make new friends, on- and offline.

Because the handicap system ensures a fair and exciting game, even between players of wildly differing strength.

Because lots of the Go problems you can find in books (or online) are much more fun than Sudoku.

Because the social expectation that the opponents talk about and even partly replay the game and variations thereof (where the stronger player teaches the weaker player, but still learns a lot himself) is really, really great. Are ther other communities where this is widespread?

It will be interesting to see if Java8 inspires a fresh look at the design approaches used in the Java world. So many of those over-architected Java designs are trying to solve lack of flexibility and expressiveness in the language. There's an opportunity now to keep the good and move on from the bad ... it's terribly unfortunate though that it's not clear if Android will ever properly update from Java6 syntax. If it doesn't a large amount of the Java ecosystem is never going to move on from there.
Steel toe-caps, a hi-visibility jacket and some emulsion-spattered trousers will allow one to get away with pretty much anything, even in the broadest of broad daylight.

We once cut the lock on a friend's very nice bike (she lost the key) using an angle grinder and a miniature generator, in the middle of the high street in the middle of the afternoon, and nobody batted an eyelid. We were dressed in normal clothes. TBF we probably got away with that because it was so blatant. Still, it's amazing what people will ignore. Bystander effect and all that.
Hmmm, checking for example Gmail which is arguably a heavy page it's got 4meg of requests for various js + html files. So 16meg if expanded to 32bits per code point. But it's using 160meg of ram. Strings are not where all the space is going it would seem.
Well, e-book vendors ought to either use a shared format or provide a mechanism for transferring ownership. They are unlikely to do so unless a right to resell is established. I am pessimistic about the likelihood, but it would be a very good thing for the world.

> “Half of the human beings in history are women,” she noted, “but we have had so few recognized for their genius".

There's an interesting view that while men aren't "better" than women, they are more distributed. That is, the distribution graph of talent (or any quality) is flatter for men than for women. So, you have more men at the extremes than women: more tall more, more short men; more geniuses; more idiots; etc.

There's a fascinating argument for this observation: women have two X chromosomes, while men only have one. The presence of a second X chromosome has different effects depending on the gene, but often acts as a backup or an averaging.

So, if there's some new gene going around that has wonderful properies, men get the full dose of it, women only get half. If the new gene has terrible properties or just doesn't work properly, men suffer the full blast, but women only get a half-blast (or, the other X completely compensates).

I worked at Google for a long time.

The most problematic language at Google was (by far) Python. Mostly because tools that would start out as small Python scripts would evolve to become large Python codebases that ended up being unmaintainable.

There were several examples of unmanageable Python codebases at Google that got rewritten in C++ or Java. I'm struggling to think of examples of code going in the opposite direction.

This does not mean Python is a bad language. It just makes a different set of tradeoffs in its design. C++ and Java were designed with features that are known to increase verbosity but make it easier for large teams to work together. Python wasn't.

As it is explained in the paper, I don't see how these results contradict the theory laid out in Born Believers. Young children, even at the age where they begin to be able to argue on the basis of causality, will constantly have had their world views challenged, conditioned and corrected by their authorities, whether these authorities are religious, secular, right or wrong.

As even old, intelligent and wise people will have to make constant leaps of faith to make sense of the world, I find it hard to accept that children aren't inherently inclined to accept events as non-causal.

That's a pretty interesting move from Apple, I know a few people who are part of the stickers-on-laptop set (myself included) and those that refuse to besmirch the looks with stickers. I'd always assumed that Apple would fall into the second group, but it's nice to see them showing off a small cottage industry.
Functional programming has been known and researched for decades. Mostly what happens is the obviously good features filter down into more mainstream languages, hence the new stream extension in Java 8, and the rest (lazy by default?) gets left behind.

Are you really generalising to an entire industry from the build procedure for a build tool? Why are you even building Maven in the first place? My experience with Maven has been:

1) Download and unzip

2) Run it

and that's all that was necessary. Meanwhile on the fly dependency resolution is very nice and a feature of most modern platforms.

You wouldn't see it on the Apple web site, but are there any good stickers that take advantage of the fact that an apple (often with a bite taken out of it) is the universal symbol for sex store in many countries? It's a reference to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, of course.

There's a thing called RetroLambda which purports to be a backport of lambdas to older versions of the runtime/platform.

However hopefully now ART is successfully launching they'll go back to upgrading the base foundation and move it beyond Java 6.
There is a retro-lambda library that allows to write lambda expressions. It is compiled to jdk 6 compatible bytecode though.
I have a problem in my AWS Windows cluster with the clocks as well. We have a mobile game with a tournaments feature, and tournaments can be as short as 5 minutes. So, it's important that all the clients get the same "end time".

Normally, at least 10% of the VMs are between 5 and 20 seconds off from the average.

By default, the VMs are syncing their time to an NTP server, but it just doesn't seem to be enough. I haven't changed any settings as of yet.

What are some of the things I could do on Windows box to sync up the clocks in my cluster? Scheduled shell scripts to force more clock syncs? Or maybe something on the application level?

It's been my experience that outside-in TDD seems like impossibly strict nonsense until you do it with someone who is good at it.

The raw source code is not the only strings in an application. Gmail especially will be heavily manipulating the DOM and a variety of other things (JS properties, JSON requests) which use Strings internally.
What's your beef with JavaFX? I've been using it recently and it's a surprisingly well designed and nice UI framework. Parts of it are kind of immature and there are occasional surprising holes in its functionality, but that's because the current generation (after dropping the scripting language) is only a couple of versions old.

Ask HN: Hosting options for multi-cluster elasticsearch application
We're currently developing a new multi-cluster elasticsearch web application.

The app will will ever growing hard disk space to store the elasticsearch data, as well as extensive integration to S3 (data backup). More CPU cores are always beneficial and we'll need >= 16GB RAM for each node.

We've been considering a few of the usual suspects, including linode and AWS.

Assuming "full" server capacity, we'd be looking at something like a Linode 16GB, which has 8 cores and 386GB SSD and costs $160pm (or $1920 per annum). A similar product from AWS would be something like a c3.2xlarge, which would cost around $2750 per annum (1 year heavy utilization reserved instance), which is around 43% more.

There are lots of pros and cons to each. AWS provides more flexibility (security groups, elastic IP, etc), but generally provides less bang-for buck. Linode's support is pretty awesome.

Is there anyone else in a similar situation that has worked with high-availability, high traffic elasticsearch clusters (or similar)? Who did you choose as your host, and why?
I agree, this would most likely only pose much of a thread to people like celebrities, where the potential gain is very high.

For the average person it's much more likely that the burglar is just using opportunity. For example they saw you leave shortly before 9:00 or your house just happens to look empty during the day.

That's by no means to say that this project is a bad idea. I think anything that attempts to teach people to be more careful about the information they put out there in public online is absolutely a good idea as this kind of information could be used for purposes other than burglary.

It's not sad, because most developers are mediocre. It may not apply to you, but if you work in the industry long enough you realize that very few of your colleagues are good/great.

And there's nothing wrong with that, but if you want to build systems that have to be maintained over multiple years, you somehow have to compensate for that. Java is one compensation.
Browsers and JS VMs are so widely deployed now that anything that can be done to make them faster or use less memory has a tremendous effect in the aggregate. What's really cool is that you can update a browser and suddenly the web starts working better for everyone who uses the browser.

Browser memory usage does tend to creep up unless there is active work to keep it under control. So I think it is important to try and trim the fat where possible. Just look at Are we slim yet? to see Firefox's memory usage slowly growing over time.

https://areweslimyet.com/

By the way, JS engine optimisation does seem like it is getting more and more complicated. I suppose most of the easy optimisations have already been done. Look at Safari adding a fourth layer to its JIT!

https://www.webkit.org/blog/3362/introducing-the-webkit-ftl-...

It's kind of crazy, but totally worth it! (IMO)

The string slimming work in IonMonkey sounds like it got some memory improvements without too much more complexity. Remember the string logic is already complicated—around 6 different string types. The kinds of pages where I think you'd see a real memory improvements would be in JS-heavy pages which store lots of data in memory. These types of pages are becoming more and more common.

I imagine it would also be a big improvement for any software running on Firefox OS. It would be especially noticeable because Firefox OS is targeted at low cost mobile devices.

I think I already mentioned why Linux distros build the entire chain from source: they provide support for it, they need to be able to patch it and they can't take responsibility for binaries built in an unknown environment.

However, I don't understand why you mix two things: maven concept and design (which is fine) with what I criticized: a build tool that depends on everything that it intends to build in the first place.

Luvit.io – Use NPM as dependency manager option, join the discussion
I'm a Clojure fan, and the syntax has nothing to do with it. The pervasive immutability, persistent data structures, ease of threading and STM mechanics are the good bits as far as I'm concerned.

The language could have a Python skin on it and still maintain much of what makes it pleasant to work in. I'd probably even prefer it.

Furthermore, the reaction to Clojure by the lisp community in general seems to be quite negative, like it's some inferior lisp that doesn't even have things like reader macros, and it makes no sense why it's getting traction when CL never did.

Which is all to say, I think the answer to what makes Clojure compelling is actually quite nuanced, and you're painting over it with a broad brush. Maybe with the wrong color.
It became the de facto development platform for MacOS, then when Motorola bought it they started de-emphasising MacOS support, eventually dropping it. Apple responded by putting a lot more work into their own development tools.

But (morality issues aside), I don't think the "customers" have a need... it's so easy to find an undefended house.

I guess they would be better served by knowing which houses have a burglar alarm, and at least in my country, homeowners themselves provide that information (by putting a visible sign outside the house that basically says "don't rob me, rob my neighbour").

Hi there!

1. Ok, thanks for the feedback. The annoying thing with Android is to be able to test on many devices, so thanks a lot for the feedback.

I thought a a lot about this:

Anyone can rob your house/most apartments if they look like
Construction workers/Landscapers.

Hide your jewelry where no one will find it; you might need to know a little bit about construction though.

In the end, make sure you have an ip cam that captures license plates, and a few in your house.

A smart criminal will have flip up plates, and wear desguises though.

Maybe that jewelry should go into a safe dep. box? Make sure you
have no active judgements though? They can snatch it all
up. They can also empty out your bank account. Be proactive, and don't give them a cent. Become Judgement Proof--if you have any one you trust your life with?

that's just what he told his wife?
Also I thought the point was Java and not OOP.

Java devs are known to over-engineer everything. There are many nicer OOP languages out there, where the devs don't tend to do this.
