   I wonder a little about your numbers. Scala is up to "10x more concise" as Java - your numbers suggest as they represent more or less the same structure in Scala and Clojure - a 4x reduction from Scala to Clojure (260 loc vs. 1000 loc). Thi

   [edit: See my comment below on how this might be a culture thing] I wonder how 15 hours in the post become a couple of days here on HN. But of course, the post was written as an anecdote and should be taken as that. Could you elaborate what

   It takes a little away from the story that it took them a lot of time to discover a widely published performance and memory problem with scalas actors. "after a lot of poking around, we became fairly convinced it was due (at least in part)

   Excellent, the title says anecdote to set the right context. There have been other discussions on how much the knowledge of writing one solution helps in writing another solution in a different languages and what is attributable to the new

   Although exceptions have become faster, and you can speed them up (overwrite stack generation code), they are slow mostly due to filling the stack trace. Mostly based on this: http://www.javaspecialists.eu/archive/Issue187.html

   What prevented me from using Playframework and going with Lift: 1. Play 1.0 (2.0 too?) used exceptions for flow control. I don't think this works for high traffic web sites. 2. Lift's CSS selector templating is slick, I would not like to go

   I know I will be voted down, but this reminds me of PGs comments on the AirBbB threads.

   From my experience, there are so many cargo cult developers, it's funny that our industry gets anything done ;-)

    No, all the others either a.) send PHP developers for Java positions or vice versa b.) try to sell you mediocre developers as top notch c.) send you profiles that do not match at all. a+b+c often means, recruiters are worse than the develop

    Bada, WebOS, Android, Windows? I'd think these are too many operating systems to support for Samsung.

    I wrote tons of 6502, Z80 and later 68000 code - programs and demos for the demo scene in the 80s and 90s - and think this was a mind altering experience. Would I learn assembler today? No.

    I think the position that it's about specific code is not defendable. What if I delete the file and retype it as a coder (see Theseus)? Is this the same file that was in a former release? If I automatically code format it, so no character i

    What I did not understand in the original article: For what is the license void? For BusyBox or for BusyBox 1.0.3. Is it valid again - new distribution - with BusyBox 1.0.4? Or is it the "same" software? [edit] Just saw this is also discuss

    a.) If adding leafs is has net gains, the tree will do this even if it's not the most efficient way (where say it could only have 50% of the leafs). b.) A tree is fighting with it's environment for light and space, a linear setup of leaves

    So they rated junk as AAA. Do you imply US bonds are junk because they have been rated until now AAA by the agency?

    So you think the US has had inflated ratings for years just like with subprimes? And should be even lower rated?

    by Uchikoma 15y ago

    You cannot compare GDP between countries, as the US for example changes GDP (via the inflation component) every few years. US GDP in general is calculated too high as inflation is calculated too low compared to other countries - e.g. German
