As someone who has never worked from a private office or classical cubicle I tend to agree, but maybe I just haven’t had a chance to experience the productivity explosion that comes with those options. I think open office is fine so long as

I think the author made the mistake of using psychosocial nomenclature, like the big 5 personality traits[1]. Without spending more time explaining the language he was using. I think people will respond negativity to being told that their g

I assume you are referring to this article[1]? Looks like there were numerous issues with it and it was retracted by the journal it was published in. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9ralini_affair

My orbital dynamics knowledge is informed almost entirely from kerbal space program, but since the majority of satellites orbit with an eccentricity close to 0, shouldnt it be fairly simple to just do a radial-out burn and crash into the at

AMD's EPYC launch literature points out that the majority of the server market is multi socket. I imagine the intra-processor latency between dies must be better than the latency between sockets. So I think EPYC is a pretty compelling

Sure, features slip, but value types are coming in java 10 until they aren't.

Well the specification explicitly talks about version 54 class files, which it then goes on to state "Version 54.1 class files are intended to be supported only by implementations of Java SE 10.". It's not going to land wit

Is it really misleading though? Does anyone with the slightest familiarity with JVM languages not understand that each major Java language version is also associated with a major JVM version?

The specification refers to version 54.1 class files, version 54 corresponds to Java 10, `.1` being the inital minor version.

This is clearly in response to the call from several world leaders for more participation from google et al. in combating terrorism online. Theresa May, as well as some Australian leaders have made very general statements that the big tech

I too have seen many occurrences of the dreaded application level JOIN. Not to mention some of the craziness that happens when a "NoSQL" DB was chosen, when you really needed a relational database.

The classism and lack of respect on display here at HN, when you simply mention a popular restaurant chain, is pretty astounding.

Im really surprised that >gb ethernet has taken so long to make it into the consumer realm. These NICs are a start, but there wont be wide adoption until >gb ethernet is integrated into mainstream southbridges.

Is it as fast as javac? Maybe on a line of code basis, but I imagine java is much simpler to to implement incremental compilation with. Since sources map pretty much 1 to 1 with classes, you mostly only need to recompile the class that

For most people biometrics offer a better security posture than some of the alternatives. The average user is at much greater risk of someone watching them enter a PIN/Password than having them capture and forge their biometrics.

Google were buying opteron back in 2006. Granted their stack is more larger and much more complex now, they might consider amd again if the performance and the price is right. At the very least, it should force some deep discounts by in

As a layman, the difference I notice between "modern" and older bridges is, less exposed steel and more concrete.

Well I guess it depends on how valuable your seating is. If you are in a dense area or your cafe is particularly busy, than having people sit around all day and only order a couple of drinks is costing you money. If the seating never fi

I don't know why you would let HN's opinion on the integrity of the companies leadership influence your decision to work there. The question seems preposterous to me. If you are happy with the work you are doing and the way yo

Does anyone know if this information was collected as part of a monitoring service or if it was collected by forensically recovering the data from the laptops hard disk?

Yeah it's interesting, I find myself choosing a potentially less healthy food option simply because it's nutrition information is more readily available and easily quantifiable.

Yeah I feel like the tone of the paper is a bit unfair, all of these exploits are the result of a feature that very few other languages/runtimes even attempt to implement(safely running untrusted code).

If you are thinking of the Iterator class in Java, a rust iterator is more akin to a Java stream.

That makes sense, are there common hash algorithms that use different sized internal-state/digest?
