Huh, I've heard about this study but recall them having the opposite conclusion. Edit: I think this is the study we're thinking of. http://psychologyrich.blogspot.com/2011/04/does-bungee-jump-... They co

Hotspot introduced the JVM Compiler Interface (JVMCI) a while back, so you could drop in any JIT replacement, including Graal. https://openjdk.org/jeps/243 This is different than using GraalVM, which has all the polygl

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that. I wonder if that's okay though — if you're that familiar with someone and their work I'd expect your bias towards that specific person overrides any broad gender bias.

Hey, sorry if it came across as condescending, I really didn't mean it to be. All I wanted to say was I don't think the choice is obvious and leave a few googleable buzzwords for anyone interested to go read up more on it. I don&#

I've always referenced this as one of the subtle points of genius for how Java did lambdas: by requiring captured variables to be final it removes a lot of ambiguity around what a variable name refers to. I like that local variables ca

I don't want to rehash this here, but this is actually a less obvious choice than it can seem like at first blush! Erasure and primitive specialization have a very deep set of considerations and tradeoffs that touch a ton of language f

I disagree. In general once you have a primitive specialized library kicking around in your path, you can pretty much just always use it for anything with primitive keys no questions asked. You don't have to over-optimize by deciding w

These enhancement proposals are often OpenJDK/hotspot specific. I do believe this left to vendors.

Ah, I should have been more careful then. I was under the impression that Boise was dealing with an overwhelming transplant issue and was resistant the way Austin and Portland have been.

Are you reading it top to bottom somehow that you're even coming into contact with slang you haven't heard used? In my experience it's always filled me in on the precise meaning I've needed.

How does this even make sense? What are you even saying here? Everyone just leave your city until you find one that's automagically well run? Surely you must understand that this conversation is abut ideas to better run a city. But you

Wow, they took the time to lay out a project roadmap for you and features they're interested in and that's all you took from it? A single, minor mention of it at the end?

There's a huge difference between not confessing and making a false confession.

I hate how much this whole thread is just everyone dripping with sarcasm. The same reason we elect mayors but not every single single person who works in city call. Or cabinet members under an elected president. Effective governance and pub

That's fine, I agree, and your reminder is reasonable. I have no issue with what issues you've raised here plainly. I just feel that flippant sarcastic zingers are poor way to conduct that conversation as a metter of principle. It

There is no value to sarcasm and joking like this.

Imagine how often people mess up their repos and tangle up commits. Now imagine it's your company's remote.

It's not propaganda, it's a perspective. He's pretty involved in activism on the behalf of trades work, not just the mouthpiece of some think tank ad campaign.

Hmm. I find the post a little shallow here. Half these things are somewhat debatable and matters of taste. I think a lot of experience without a nuanced view of how universal best practices are (or aren't) is wasted experience. Or mayb

Be careful what you wish for. There's no guarantee that we're better off with the person who replaces Putin. From what I understand Putin's the moderate.

Not at all. We want companies to leverage economies of scale. Efficiency should bring competitive advantage. Google often invests in datacenters in places based around where it's cheaper to power and run them, often owning the energy p

Y'know that's really funny.I often refer to the way lambdas only capture final variables as an example of the absolute brilliance of Java's language design. Rather than a poor consideration I think it's a hallmark of how

64 bytes of RAM? Wouldn't ASM be easier at that point? Or is your code separate from that 64 bytes?

by kjeetgill 4y ago
Not trying to be defensive or anything: do you have any examples? I'd love to take a peek at what patterns and designs Java's lambdas don't work well for.
