Agreed, it's what I've been using in production all along and maybe the rise of docker will mean that fewer people are directly installing the JDK on their production machines. Still, I bet there will still be some unfortunate sou

Yeah, the Oracle JDK builds are only for licensed customers in production from now on. The OpenJDK derivatives are now the preferred way to run a JVM in production without a license from Oracle.

Yeah, that's what using hardware specific instructions will get you. Haven't read the changelog, assuming so based on the fact is ARM and the improvement yield.

Any idea when stackdriver is actually going to be usable for production? The latency of events is way to high to drive alerts from and the UI has basically always had issues. Clicking though any link seems to have about a 50% chance of resu

Then your thread better only execute one request at a time and carry through every operation involved in that request. Works fine in PHP, not fine in most performant and even most non performant web contexts.

It's international scammers that are the problem, not internal corporations. An internal registry hurts more than it helps because it provides a list of callable numbers, and chasing down scammers is way, way, way too expensive to enfo

Maybe they should look at Google cloud then. Oh, they already are. Disclosure: I DON'T work for Google cloud, it's just a better product.

So... You don't actually care but you're annoyed that Google calendar makes you choose between admitting to not caring and getting 3 birthday notifications every day that you won't do anything about and don't want to be

There are also also many use cases where you don't want to "store" something at all, just compute the value (eg: a shopping cart that is not yet a purchase), and you don't want to to either 1. duplicate implementations o

Yes, it can. The case and point is that you need to control where those moments of imprecision happen, and using fixed point a fixed point (often integer/long) representation is absolutely worth the effort because it's not much ef

by haimez 9y ago
Yes it is. You convert to a big decimal representation, compute the tax/interest and then intentionally round back to an integer format using the appropriate rounding mode.

Lotteries are also illegal to operate privately, which makes them completely irrelevant to this conversation.

The identity function is not an interesting opcode because there's already the NOOP code and because compilers are expected to be able to identify the identity transform with great accuracy.

You're being pretty silly by zeroing in on the word modern and then using an equally silly redefinition of it yourself. Branch prediction isn't new, you're right. But VLIW instructions are equally unmodern and are entirely or

Don't worry, the analysis is flat wrong. I'm betting there was a C extension in play in their hashing library.

If you're comfortable with using KMS already, I recommend checking out SOPS: https://github.com/mozilla/sops It can be versioned if you use git, access controlled via the KMS access privileges, and easily plugs i

Congratulations, your worst case is just as bad and now you depend on dynamo and kms to be functional to perform decrypt operations. To quote the article (and many others): now you have two problems.

Twice as many packets per reduced MTU hop. The worst case is pretty bad and far north of 2x the number of packets sent from origin.

Don't worry, heroku can barely manage to deploy docker containers into their specialized stack (try it, it's fun and massively disappointing if you have a worker process). This won't affect your heroku apps because they'

It's significant, especially when locality is related to temporal locality (ie: most reads will be relatively recent writes). The biggest upside is serving more reads from the in memory portion of indexes after things start having to l

The honest answer is that you can get the desired result with Postgres, even if it might require a custom foreign data wrapper implementation. Carpenters pick their favorite saws, and they like MySQL. To be fair, uber did get burned by a Po

If us-east and us-west regions are only relevant to you because of the relative reliability, then I envy your situation because latency doesn't exist in your world.
