You can write fast or slow code in any language, typically people who understand the language very well are the ones who can write performant code, regardless of language. All those benchmark games out there for dozens of languages are proo

The number of upvotes is not a reflection of whether or not it was on the front page, but maybe that one was. But the post linked above (about Airbnb) had received a couple hundred of votes in less than one hour, but was not on the front p

A moderator replied to me a couple months ago that these kinds of posts are usually penalized so HN doesn’t become a support site, but I still see them quite often on here on the front page. I had been commenting that when such posts are ma

That sounds like just basic guesswork on your part. Replicating their infrastructure is not the trivial challenge you suggest.

And what writing is on the wall, exactly, for Amazon? AWS powers the internet. Apple uses it for cloud services, for cryin' out loud -- the largest AWS customer in fact. AWS has more market share than all of its competitors combined .

This is not so likely in most workloads unless multiple threads are hitting very close or adjacent regions in memory. Most multithreading workloads work on memory not so close together. It's good to be aware of it, but to suggest it is

Resting on laurels. Just like how IBM declined despite its prominence and capabilities, how BlackBerry lost... getting too confident or too comfortable.

I’m curious why not? Apple Silicon so far has improved performance, and reduced power consumption. Does that mean that it’s a larger chip than the others that came before it?

It is interesting that Intel suddenly announced that they would be delaying their orders of this exact chip.

That's interesting to hear. I've not used Windows in over a decade (I primarily work on mac) but I've heard that WSL was quite compromising and not a great experience for people who primarily use Linux tools.

Are you referring to emacs, the editor? It seems a bit odd to me that that single issue would be so important, especially considering that Emacs is actually a very nice editor that many of us use today. I actually know quite a lot of people

You interpreted my reply as “all sets and maps require hashing“ instead of “sets and maps are examples of data structures that can require hashing”… which they are. Imagine someone says, every fruit in the world is sour, and someone answers

Not sure why you are arguing about this? The issue is about the idiomatic, expected style that surrounds pure functions and functional programming. The posted article goes into this in greater detail (and more elegantly than this thread) as

That's an odd interpretation of purity. As per the article: > A pure function only looks at the parameters passed in to it, and all it does is return one or more computed values based on the parameters... It doesn’t maintain interna
