None of the problems he cites are issues with his code, though, nor are they as much of an issue with modern processors. Unless I'm missing something, the presentation he cites are running on the Cell processor, not a modern x86 system. RA

The problem is that his implementation is essentially a test of how he's using libc versus how Haskell is using it. The pointer arithmetic he's using shouldn't need to be optimized, since the page sizes he's malloc'ing and pulling from memo

My experience was pretty similar, though the testing was a lot longer and I was older(around the 6th grade). It was done over the course of a few months with interviews of my teachers and parents as well as with a couple of doctors. I'm st

And, realistically, those corporate apps probably work perfectly fine with Apple's depreciated JVM. Oracle's JVM has been in the wild for about 5 months.

It's more descriptive, but somewhat incorrect. The common definition of a process virtual machine is that it's an interpreter that can be written to that essentially emulates an OS environment, giving abstracted OS concepts and functionalit

As I was pricing out and comparing TV's, I found that in general, the 3D TV's actually tend to review with a better 2D image than the standard 2D TV's. So there was a benefit to it, even if you're never going to use it.

Form factor is still important, though. The handgrips can catch on stuff in a bag, which is an annoyance. Compared to a tablet, phone, or any of the current portable systems, it's a lot thicker, too. That can make it a bit unwieldy to kee

You're still running on the blind assumption that Apple and Google are magically better at optimization than everyone else. I would not make that assumption, because, as I said before, optimization is hard. There's a billion variables tha
