Wait, I see it's been removed actually [1]. Why, isn't it faster anymore? [1] https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/commit/c2...

And not a word about fasttime.UnixTimestamp()? I thought that's the recommended way, it literally says: // It is faster than time.Now().Unix() https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/VictoriaMetrics/V

Yes, my mistake, thanks for pointing out, upvoting. I meant asking memory allocator, not kernel. I meant that Java usually already has that memory allocated, JVM is a memory allocator of its own. It operates within its own heap. One can do

I've seen worse. Some teams use JSON for their data. Not only each field can be missing (aka NULL), it can also be "null". Or a different type. I envy your team who's only mistake is to forget setting NULLABLE. Rainbows

> it fills RAM/cache with extra Object stuff But it has much lesser impact than in, say, Rust, where it's really an allocation (asking kernel for more RAM). Java's Object "allocation" happens in its own heap, whi

No, where did you get that? They can "No comments" all the way, but there's no way to legally forcing a commercial company to lie. The company can lie, of course, but it's their choice, not an order.

Sometimes just voting is not enough. For example, Nazi Party didn't come to power democratically. Hitler lost 1932 elections to Hindenburg, and didn't get any position. But in two months, Hindenburg appointed him to Chancellor pos

Browsers layout engines are pretty smart, and also optimized for speed at the same time, which makes them very complex. I can do one or the other in my code, but both is too hard. Now add there security. But Google having more people workin

Just wrap it in a container with fixed height and "overflow: hidden". Now the layout engine knows that it doesn't need to recalculate positions of elements outside that wrapper, and it's much faster. By the way, the same

Which kinda makes sense. It was actually cool when it could save webpages for later reading offline (camping, airplane). Once it lost that feature, there's nothing left but bookmarks.

Yes, although fascism is probably a proper word to use here -- it comes from Roman "fasces", symbolizes power to punish king's subjects (i.e. it's not about other states and kings, but about internal affairs).

Gag order cannot force them to lie. A lie like that can be illegal even. If there's a gag order, then companies say "we have a gag order". Like Google and Twitter did back in the day when asked. And then immediately started r

If there's a properly implemented end-to-end encryption, then NSA cannot see anything, even having full access to telco-s.

My main problem with Parquet format is that it depends on Facebook's Thrift (competitor to gRPC).

Hard disagree. Few points I can easily remember: 1. Navigating the code, e.g easily see all the callers, navigate up/down the call tree requires static code analysis. Super handy while reading someone's else code, which is like 90

Reminds me of modern IDEs -- developers, both old and new, are too lazy to learn a complex IDE to speed up their work, even though it's their main tool for making money.

Try Kotlin then. I wouldn't call it a new language, for me it's just a syntactic sugar over Java, but for any problem you would google "how to do X in Java", not "how to do X in Kotlin". But there you can do wa

I have way more experience with Python than Java. In at least 4 companies (including Google that I wouldn't call a javashop) we used mainly Python. Still I believe Java is a better application language. Python is a better scripting lan

Well, weighing scale doesn't measure mass, it measures weight. It's just scales' UI converts it to kg/lb for usability, instead of showing N it actually measures (weight is a force, and force is measured in newtons).

Well, iOS apps do that all the time from their side, so I don't see any problem there. User suffers because of that, yes. On Android you set a default browser (like Firefox Mobile) and it's used almost always (except some security

Well, no one prevents to develop and distribute plugins for IntelliJ, there's even Plugin DevKit. I bet Jetbrains would welcome it. Not sure Google could do anything there.
