He literately can't say anything of substance on a topic like this or else his words will show up all over the news as an attack by YC on some party or other.

I think the counter argument to that argument was always "can we actually do that as humans?" The push towards diversity is a straight forward reaction in an attempt to prove "yes we can" by moving the numbers as much as

It's a nice dream. Pity reality is so very harsh on nice dreams.

As someone who actually lives in Africa, Larry Page is spot on. The only people who think charities are good for anything are the ones that have no contact with them - they are a black hole of good intentions that simply do not accomplish a

There's a big difference between listing Rails (a new technology -even rails 1 is a new technology- that is currently widely used), and listing COBOL. Don't even bother listing cobol/perl/whatever unless the company you

The real issue is a guy who has been programming for 3 years is trying to compare himself to people who have programmed for 30. Practice makes perfect - if you've only been coding for 3 years, I can almost guarantee that you don't

Nobody with any sense uses XML in Java anymore. Everything uses annotations now.

If they price this to compete with typical mid-high watches, then you're looking at about $4000 [1] which is more than enough to get some very impressive display technology in there. If they skimp and try to put in cheap hardware and g

They won't, but changing your server to accept websocket instead shouldn't be too bad.

What hype and popularity..? The game was a total commercial flop.

It doesn't really matter whose fault it is. The same content is readily available in torrents, and if nobody is willing to accept money for it, guess where consumers are going to get it from? I assume these people would rather receive

Oh, no I have no problem with enterprise Java - it was merely an observation. Enterprise Java exists because it works, after all. I just find it interesting that most software projects will eventually come to the same conclusions regardless

The fact that I have to use the truly terrible Netflix player to watch Netflix content is why I'd always choose a pirated .mkv version any day of the week. In fact, I've sometimes bought games and movies and then later used the pi

I get what you're saying about how it's definitely going to be slower, but I don't understand why the read/write time to the hardware matters if the hardware is buffering the last 100 timings or so. What I'm trying

This seems kind of pointless. I don't think anybody believed Whatsapp wasn't storing phonebooks/location/etc before the Facebook merger, and I'm pretty sure nobody really believes Facebook won't in the future.

Wouldn't it have been better to just stick a specialized piece of hardware/fpga to read directly from the crystal, buffer it, and pass it on? In fact that's what the timing equipment usually does for you. There's no reas

Not sure I agree entirely here - Microsoft is definitely a far better bet than Apple for this kind of stuff, but it's still not a perfect bet. As Microsoft has shown with their Win8/phone platform, they are trying to transition aw

In the case of Java, there is a lot of inefficiency in the standard hash table in the form of Entry<T, K> objects for making it a bit nicer to use. There is also a lot of extra state stored for some of the extra features offered. Ever

by RyanZAG 13y ago
Plus you're just testing the standard library implementations. If the hash lookup was the major focus for your program, you would be using a specialized hash map implementation. eg, http://trove.starlight-systems.com/

I'm making the assumption that you are running a bunch of AWS instances off the same AMI. If you're not, a shell script is not going to be deterministic or maintainable - but most companies these days are just using AWS with an ub

Here's hoping more developers follow suite and Microsoft is eventually forced to drop this whole failed experiment. The changes coming to Win8.1 and the terrible sales figures as people stick to Win7 are hopefully very good indicators

by RyanZAG 13y ago
Honestly this is not a bad idea. Since bringing up a new instance VM will always be in exactly the same state, the shell script is completely deterministic. If any line fails to run, you could simply log an error and automatically shut down
