I would be curious to see more detail about their warmup handler practices. Did they tune the JVM for it or is there some way to deterministically invoke the right JIT'ing.

I felt that way in my 20's too. I have since grown up and made a lot of money realizing I was wrong, but I still feel that way.

Impressive or not I just wish people would stop using monthly averages in the headline like this. You can't really make the case that this in-depth stack dive is for a layman audience, so you have to know what a meaningless metric it

Thank you, great point. The impact of these things on american/burb/pre-existing-car-culture locations will be very different than how it plays out in 'developing' locations.

we can anecdata whatever numbers we want at each other, the point is the shift from upfront/sunk-cost to utilization cost will give every actor more information and better price signaling to work with. And the shift to fleet/serv

IMHO self driving cars will predominately be a fleet/subscription-service model eventually, and in that case it will actually further incentivize shorter commutes (denser living). Right now, when you buy, finance or lease a car you

If I could piggyback on the topic here, can anyone speak to the practical usage of these (or other) techniques on mobile devices? Are there working peer-to-peer apps?

I agree its "common knowledge" but is it true? Or is it just a case that because 80+% (made up) of everyone hosts in us-east-1, thats the only one we hear about in HN (and other sites) threads?

The energy consumption (and therefore carbon emissions) per capita in the west/US comes almost entirely from the feedback loop between single-family-detached housing and the car-or-two it takes to live in that kind of sprawled out life

This is a super irritating feature of "enterprise" vendor pricing. What almost everyone on these platforms is doing is moving most of their bandwidth out of one of the CDN services (like say cloudfront) and then negotiating custo

This is more a feature than a different search engine, but I so so so wish I could de-prioritize blogspam. 300 - 1000 word text-heavy writeups of a couple of facts where a few bullet points, an image, a graph, a map, or a data table would

While we're on the topic, can anyone share the tools and methods they use to visualize GC in their live environments? Back when I worked at a Scala shop I spent an incredible amount of time in the VisualGC plugin tab of VisualVM. This

I don't dispute your facts at all, but I think you've strongly missed the key point of how disruption works. Not having as many trim and color options because they can't shove them out the door fast enough is a textbook exam
