I guess I should have specified, I was thinking of the benchmarks vs non-invokedynamic JRuby. No intention of starting a benchmark war. Ruby 1.9 is fast too.

> InvokeDynamic support This is the big one, in my opinion. See here[1] for some benchmarks of JRuby + invokedynamic. We're talking orders of magnitude for some benchmarks. [1] http://blog.headius.com/2011/08/invokedynamic-in-jruby-co

Reflection only works with the iPhone 4S, before you get too excited here.

"We would like to be able to Grok all open-source code in the world. For any given Java library in the world, find all callers of this function!" Whether it will work or not, this is a truly audacious and remarkable vision.

Just spitballing here, but maybe they could embed a side-camera in the device and display a real-time image to cover up your blind spot.

It seems to max out at 5000 followers (which makes some sense because the default behavior of the twitter API is to return the first 5000 ids) This may seem nit-picky, but the main cool-factor of this is to see which high-profile people fol

Sure, we could guess at all sorts of things from within a function. We could guess that the function is running from a terminal, and simply print the result of the function to stout. Hell, we could guess what the caller is going to do w

Note that I was not arguing for checked exceptions. Right, I understand that. And I was merely pointing out a flaw in your argument against my argument. You may be able to recover from a missing file, no one can help you if this pointer

Usually those architecture astronauts have a BaseException class... just make it extend RuntimeException and you're done!

All exceptions (checked or otherwise) disclaim and defer the error in a type safe way (unchecked exceptions can be declared in the throws clause too!) The difference is that we can require them to be dealt with by the caller, which is gener

by ZitchDog 14y ago
Checked exceptions require that the calling function acknowledge that an error has occurred But why do they require the client to acknowledge the error? Better stated, why would one use a checked exception versus an unchecked? The general

by ZitchDog 14y ago
I have thought quite a bit about checked vs unchecked exceptions and come to the realization that there is a fundamental philosophical problem that checked exceptions can never overcome. The idea with checked exceptions are that they should

Ahhh doclets. I certainly don't miss those things!

Update: This is apparently a known issue that Parse is actively working on fixing.

Note sent. Thanks! Also, all crankiness aside, aside from this issue Parse has been very nice to work with. I'm impressed at how easy it is to get a new project up and running.

by ZitchDog 15y ago
I've been using parse for the last 3 weeks. One thing I've discovered is that it works very well for situations like a chat room, where the app is expected to always be online. For apps which need offline mode, like mine does, things start

It really should be Assert.that(6, Is.greaterThan(7)), shouldn't it? Best of both worlds!

Generally this would not be done in production code. jMockit is pretty out there, syntax - wise, and the anonymous inner classes are generally discouraged in production code. In tests are generally fine though. which is why jMockit can get

I see that now, thanks. I did a quick scan of the doc and didn't see it as it's a little buried.

I don't see any callbacks here, which is nice, but doesn't really fit the Node execution model. Do the commands block? Are they queued and executed asynchronously?

Retina iPad: confirmed. Also, I really doubt they are showing that iPad in landscape mode, which means that most likely the home button is gone. Not sure how I feel about that one.

This looks incredibly useful in light of the current moves to censor Twitter in other countries. My first thought is, shouldn't we write this for iOS as well? Unfortunately I doubt this app would be possible to create for iOS. There is no w
