Go also suffers heavily when resource constrained - eg, run on EC2 or digital ocean which most people here are going to be running on. The large amount of garbage generated by Go paired with stop the world GC is the reason there. If you&#x2

It's probably a result of rapid expansion. eg, they did $3M revenue over the last financial year, but only started that year with 20 or whatever employees. So you should probably be dividing by something like an average of 26 employees

How about those results under the plaintext benchmark run on windows with no db access to mysql or whatever? Still very slow. The low level libraries for http/disk/etc for C# on windows or linux are simply not set up for performan

Interesting observation regarding the differences between the EC2 and i7 results: the platforms at the top of the EC2 benchmarks are generally MongoDB+async io java, while the ones at the top of the i7 results are MySQL+heavily threaded (go

Nothing. Expect some sneaky deals on special Chrome apps in the future that will convince popular apps (with a nice sum of money) to have their hot new app being 'dart exclusive'. It's the obvious end game that sounds cynical

$250 for a full day of both devs and designers, plus some kind of product manager to work through the idea? Can't say it's not cheap. I have my doubts you'll end up with anything impressive though. Would be nice for someone t

Sorry - by drone strikes I was actually incorrectly implying the broader picture. I mean end attacks on civilians in countries you are not even at war with. There really is no moral justification for blowing these people up. Even if they we

Blowing up a wedding is not extraordinary? 'Not taking sides' doesn't cut it - you're either doing your bit to end drone strikes like these, or you are morally bankrupt. There is no fence sitting when civilians are being

Data for User A is on server 9, and data for User B is on server 43. Joins across servers is not really supported in mysql. Another issue is connections between DB servers. Generally you want your DB server to be as fast as possible, so hav

I was under the impression they use it more as a sharded "key-values" store? ie. no joins - the part of the database that makes it relational.

I find it pretty interesting that you see a lot of people say 'within an order of magnitude of C' when talking about performance for dynamic languages and JITed VMs, etc. But they rarely take this kind of thing into account. If yo

I love this kind of attitude: something seems complex? Throw it out and start again! Unfortunately, it's usually the problem domain that is complex and starting over just means you have to rediscover all of that complexity all over aga

Simply not true - as long as you don't use internal APIs, apps made for an older Android are completely compatible in newer ones, and new APIs are usually backported to older Android versions with compatibility libraries. When you upda

It's an interesting point - it may be possible to have 'impostor syndrome' syndrome, where you think you have imposter syndrome but you're actually an imposter. According to the study, if you were an imposter you'd

That's perfectly all right - you can have things specifically for only women, black people or lesbians. In fact you should have those and you'd better support them. Failing to support those kind of movements means your company pro

It's a fork in the sense that it's a fork of the IntelliJ repo with Google/Android related assets added. So it's more of a branding fork than a code fork, but since its in a different repo I'd still call it a fork.

Android Studio is a fork of the OSS IDEA by Google. IntelliJ IDEA is the version released by the actual company and is not affiliated with Google.

What a joke. Nokia with the full backing of Microsoft can't even make a decent OS. How do they expect to make a decent OS on their own after firing all of their software developers? Pathetic grandstanding.

It's possible to prevent this. Disquis could create a service limited to their network that could store a unique id for each registered email address and hashed with the email, or used instead of the hash. This obviously adds additiona

Odin is certainly not stolen code - it's simply the tool Samsung distributes to partners to update firmware on their devices. Also if you have a problem with Odin for whatever reason, you can use the OSS Heimdall - http://fo

I get the desire, but you'll never be able to popularize Haskell because the only people who want to use it are math majors, and most web devs are not math majors. If you want to popularize Haskell you'll need to rework the syntax

It depends on the problem you're trying to solve, I think. Let's consider a command line application that fetches a URL, like wget. Without exceptions, you would check the return code of all the system functions you call (dns, soc

It's rarely the language that has any actual effect on the end result. The language is just a side show - the main story is about how well the developer understood the problem space and how well the abstractions and solutions he genera
