I think that a lot of the price pressure could be caused by the 0.1%. http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/oct/16/empty-houses-l...

Thanks :)

Can you give me a scenario where I would use this. For instance when would I want to add methods to the connection type or change the protocol? Do you mean swap out the websockets protocol for some other network protocol?

How can it be extended?

Hey, this looks like a pretty interesting project. I am very curious about the tech behind this. How open are you with the code which supports the site? I am building a matching engine right now and would be very keen to talk to other peopl

From what I read about this crash the most important lesson was to have a kill switch. The biggest problem Knight Capital had was that they could not switch the system off quickly. It was roughly 45 minutes (according most accounts) between

That is a good thing to know. Maybe I should give it another look.

That is true, but what is the command line tooling like for java? I build java all day inside god-awful IDEs. The last time I tried compiling Java on the command line it was really a lot of work. I suppose there is some maven support for bu

They are complete B ds. I am still very unhappy about what they did with the win7 phone. I feel like such a sucker. I was so enthusiastic about the interface, I showed to all my workmates and tried to convince them it was better than t

I think it is a very fair question. The first reason I want Mozilla to win here is that they don't want my data. They are pushing for stronger privacy in firefox, and although I love Chrome I don't think Google can ever support real browser

Yeah, I may be out of luck. Such a shame.

I very strongly want this to work. I am very excited about the prospect of a phone/tablet OS that I hack up apps for in Javascript. But even more than that I pray for a true competitor to iOSX/Android. They just need to get this thing movin

I agree that we don't have anything close to a perfect record. And when dotcom was raided at gunpoint I really felt that this was it. Everything you wrote above was now just the new normal, and we were just a passive conduit of foreign and

Thanks a good explanation.

I saw Joe speak in London a year or so ago. He was a very good speaker. This three laws is a very good reflection of his plain spoken and humorous style. Whether you like Erlang you should take the time to enjoy Joe IMHO :)

As a New Zealander I was very disappointed that we appeared to be cooperating with US legal requests with no consideration of whether those requests were reasonable or even legal. I feel a cautious pride to see that there is an effective pu

I think a much better comparison is with C. C, similarly, has a paucity of features. It is also relatively easy to grasp its core. However, this has never prevented C from being used to build very powerful applications. I would like to know

While I am not a cheerleader for the JVM, I would take issue with one statement. "Java cant use even that small sum of cheap ram without huge GC pauses, and it never will." It is true that the Hotspot JVM is awful in this regard but Zing, f

I may have chosen the wrong word with 'manipulation'. I think that the school administration is unhappy that the students were told they could reasonably choose not to fill in the survey. What makes me feel uneasy here, and why I used the w

by fmstephe 13y ago
My concern is not with the intention behind the survey. I believe that the intention was very good. My concern is the idea that a teacher reminding students that they are not under any obligation to complete the survey represents manipulati

by fmstephe 13y ago
Yeah, I have the impression this is true in a number of places. It does appear to be particularly pronounced in the US (from the view from my bubble). I worry that reducing the respect given to teachers will result in fewer outstanding peop

I worry that sitting here and reading the articles which turn up in HN each day that I am getting a very particular impression about life in America. Between this and Kiera Wilmot I feel genuinely horrified. Am I just seeing outliers here?

I think your characterisation of the enterprise culture as vicious isn't too far off the mark. :)

It took me a while to build up to a well reasoned argument :) Since I work with Spring every day it brings up some strong emotions.

by fmstephe 13y ago
Different people have very different views on this. It seems to be something which touches at an emotional level, or just exposes the way different people think about programming. My opinion is that aspects are a mistake in general. I think

Ok, I have a single concrete example of Spring's AOP everywhere being a questionable value proposition. If we have a look inside a class, which appears again and again on our overburdened stack traces, JdkDynamicAopProxy. Whenever you call

Sorry, I just deleted the parent that you replied too. I felt it was too full of emotion and lacked useful content. Currently I am working on Spring+Tomcat. Previously we were working on weblogic + spring, that's where the ~50% CPU time mea

I find this a very exciting project. Rust is always in my peripheral vision. To see a language operating at such a high level able to get down so low is very compelling.

I program almost exclusively on my chromebook, with an oldish amd64 atom processor. I program almost exclusively in Go using vim. Vim is very low cpu usage and I would expect that to get you pretty far. Go is very sweet here because it has

Were there two generations of the 5 550? I clearly haven't followed it closely enough. I have some kind of chromebook made by samsung. I bought it just after they were commercially released. The model under the bottom of it says 500c.
