Entirely agreed. I feel like I'm utterly missing something with these indoor and urban farming setups - someone is clearly investing millions into them and is presumably doing due diligence.. The CO2 output of these farms is higher tha

Absolutely - that's what the blog post is about, how OpenJDK's particular implementation behaves. When Aleksey is talking about the hashtables not being resizeable, he's talking about the project he works on, which is the cod

It's using a custom c++ hashtable: https://github.com/JetBrains/jdk8u_hotspot/blob/master/src/s... Interestingly, the hash table implementation it's subclassing has changed from `HashTable

It's needed because the private sector isn't paying for it. There's no law that says private hospitals can't fund residency slots - in fact they fund many of them - but, as the source you're commenting on says; &quo

Pure curiosity: What is "binary" drag and drop?

Since what to test is a sliding scale, determining when and what to test is perhaps something that comes with exposure to good testers.. For me, a few references I use are "tests are a thinking help for specifying behavior", &quot

It's ironic actually. The author touts told stories of prior work as key, and degrades attempts at measuring candidate conscientiousness. Meanwhile, strongest known measures of job performance are an actual work sample (r=.26), rather

When we built the new set of drivers for Neo4j, we decided to allow three modes: No encryption, Trust on First Use and Trusted Signature - there's no way to establish an connection without trust. This was a terrifying decision, because

They are returning it to stock holders - however, it is not tax efficient to do this by simply paying dividends with profits. By offshoring the money they can minimize taxes, and still pay stock holders by taking massive loans with the cash

And a nice illustration for why startups often do well focusing on very specific use cases first. Replacing Excel for the general population is a moon-shot project; replacing it for a well selected set of use cases hard but, as history show

If I were replacing my Prusa with something off-the-shelf, I'd buy Ultimaker. My previous maker space had four of them, and they ran those things constantly with minimal fuss. They are a bit pricey, but there's the option of buyin

Second this - I use instant coffee for hiking, if they add a way to order as-needed I'd totally be game to try this instead of the Nescafe poison I start my wilderness mornings with :)

Oh man, that is a really cool paper, thanks a bunch for sharing that. I've got next week off and lots of itch to try Go for network code.. might try this out!

Mostly unrelated, but a fun fact about quorums that I enjoy noting whenever I can because it still seems under-explored: A quorum != a majority. Currently most (all?) production implementations I've seen of RAFT and the various Paxoses

I guess we're agreeing on the fact that Go lacks generics. I don't know that I agree that those makes "writing safe and simple code easy". As we both know, simple and easy are two very different things. Generics do make

by jakewins 10y ago
Go can't do this, because you can't define `map` as returning "a collection of whatever `f` returns". If they build a collections API like this now, without generics, and they then add generic types later, they will be i

So, this may simply be because this differs between countries - I live in the US. Here, you do not study psychiatry in med school, it's something you study after you complete regular medical school. The rough path looks like: - 4 years

Psychiatrists hold a medical doctorate, so unless you are claiming that medical science has no scientific validity I believe you are thinking of Psychology, which is an entirely different field.

I'm unclear on why this is on the frontpage of HN. This seems to be another medical advocacy group that are searching for explanation of their symptoms, and have convinced themselves of a cause. There have been several studies on their

That's entirely fair - but, I don't think it's The Independents fault that EU citizens in the UK are in for a terrifying ride watching these laws get negotiated. She is ending EU citizens right to live and work in UK, with

You need to take into account that these people are not living on absolute nil - they have some level of income, be it $1 or $.50 - so you don't need to give each of them $2/day. The OP article noted the amount needed in the villa

Many operating systems do not handle tens of thousands of file handles open simultaneously very well. For instance, if you run this database on Linux, the RAM overhead for each document is 1K just for the file handle, see the comment at the

It could be that this design covers this as well - but one thing worth calling out explicitly is the effects that message passing can have on GC. If you spend tons of effort making your queues low contention and super low latency, you best
