It's more surprising because javac is itself written in Java. It's definitely up to the task (even if it's targeting x86 instead).

There is a reason mocking is not supported: It's incredibly error prone. The previous version of gRPC (Stubby) did actually support mocking of the stub/service interfaces. The issue is that people mock out responses that don&#x

Is the JSON parser implemented natively, or in JS? It may not be apples-to-apples.

Whole program optimization is good if your inputs never change, and you have a infrastructure to benchmark your build and recompile with profiling on each release. JITs do this automatically. A team at work had this release process. 1. C

Invest in an S&P 500 ETF. This is probably the lowest effort side project you can have which still makes money. Also, if you learn about the stock market, it makes you more confident in how your savings looks, how your retirement will

How could that be inhumane? The worker and the payer agree ahead of time how much is to be paid and what goods and services are delivered. Both parties have to agree, or else one will walk away. You say it's inhumane because one par

Calling drivers morons is not helpful. Realistically, there is no way for me to make money between now and the 2 hours before bedtime. Lyft (and Uber) provide a way for me to work that extra few hours if I want to, which I previously cou

There's a non-trivial chance there will only be two jobs: employee and robot. Waymo and Uber are definitely betting on this model.

As a rider, I am going to pick the cheapest ride. If Lyft pays their drivers less, it's because I pay Lyft less. If society as a whole picks Lyft, then it's society as a whole paying Lyft drivers less. I view Lyft more as a mar

How much help did he earn? How much does he deserve? The money a driver gets paid is the help. There is a market for non-fulltime jobs that would not exist at all if it was forced to be full time. Forcing Lyft to hire employees instea

Glad to see syscall/js is still seeing updates. This seems like a excellent chance to share server and client code by being able to cross compile to wasm. Go team: please reduce the binary size of wasm files!

I am a middle aged dev, and I expect to become you. I expect that my skills will become less valuable over time, and that my age will limit my possibilities. To me, this isn't such a bad thing; it's something to prepare for. (

Ok, what do you want to replace it with? You can't complain about the existing system without offering an alternative. Saying the existing system sucks doesn't help move the Internet towards something better.

Websockets (the protocol) are mostly defunct in comparison to HTTP/2 and QUIC. Porting websocket based code should mean converting it to HTTP{2,3}. The main reason that's not possible today is due to large existing library suppo

There is a semi-consensus that Proto3 was created to be compatible as Go basic types. Making Go types from Protos, or Proto types from Go is what is being entertained as modern.

One other minor perk of working fewer hours is lower taxes. The first hour you work in a week is taxed much lower than the last hour you work. (In countries with progressive tax systems.)

The paradox is resolved if you consider yourself an advertiser. When you pay for "ad free", it's equivalent to bidding on yourself and then showing yourself nothing. A serious bidder could bid higher than you on your own s

While this is true, a lot of software is not prepared to have connections change IP address. Lot's of networking software works on the idea of a loop which assigns each connection (5-tuple) to a thread. If QUIC were to be more widely

Yes, I implemented a karma system on my website, where users could give karma from one person to another. It involved a bunch of things, like creating notifications, persisting the transaction to a table, etc. Doing it with REST involves

Isn't competition good for consumers though? Eventually, one of these network architectures will become more popular and we don't have to try them all out personally ourselves. I benefit greatly from people in the 90s testing o

REST is a good fit if the operations you want to do are CRUD, or if the data model you have is hierarchical. This is for most people, but it breaks down when there involve multiple steps. A bank transaction is a good example, because it
