How can I be a paid shill? I am not giving any facts or creating impression I know any facts. I am just discussing the general process of what is and what is not ok to post online anonymously.

Actually, what you defend is how dictators work today. Throw unsubstantiated allegations around, make everything moot in deluge of conflicting information.

Think about this: without any proof or name to back the claim, the only purpose the post serves is to (possibly) slander a person. As a bystander you have no way of knowing who is right. There is a huge disparity between the person being sl

Having anybody be able to create a noise of slanderous comments seems like absolutely worst option to me. I personally back my posts by my real name and I think this is fair. If I did not feel safe posting something important, I would make

Everybody can say that. Regardless of whether they are or are not leading a large company. For all I know, one insider holding a grudge could be creating multiple accounts claiming to be leading large companies and thus not being able to di

I am not sure about "HN code of conduct" here, but personally I dislike serious allegations posted anonymously and without any proof to back it up. You may well be right, but posting these kinds of things this way is best way for

Only some of this could be explained by "several sigma" of bad luck. The rest is either the candidate misunderstanding/distorting the process or a structural hiring problem. I interview a lot of candidates. I just can't

I don't. I have either learned these a long time ago or as a side effect of paying attention to this topic for almost quarter of century. But I think it should still be possible to find old source code for things like games. Back when

The value of JIT is that you do not need to pay any attention to it and it takes no effort to set up. It is still good to know it is there -- a lot of developers I work with did not understand why a Java application is slow for a bit be

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” I find it funny to talk to much younger developers, they get excited about some "new" technology and are surprised I do not feel the same. Probably they think I am o

But what is your problem with this? Do you really care which JVM is being packaged or you are just picking on something that isn't a problem? Have you had a problem running IntelliJ IDEA? I am pretty sure that if I was distributing

I am pretty sure Jetbrains cares their product works well for a lot of people and they know better than you which JVM is better for their product. It is not like it restricts what you can build with it. We may not know their exact decision

by lmilcin 5y ago
I don't see how this is bad. JVM is pretty well optimized and it is much closer to raw C performance than most other popular languages. You could also say that C is bad because its performance plateaued a long time ago.

And thus we are completing a huge circle that starts with the world where computation is concentrated on a handful of large computers and users having only thin clients and we will end up more or less in the same state with PCs being nothin

Also, it would be interesting to see this progression from at least 1.4. By the time 1.8 was released I had the impression that GC is already pretty well optimized for throughput.

The most astonishing thing is that people actually believe that crap. That the solution to people making mistakes is taking away any power to do anything substantial on their own. No power to do anything == no power to do any damage. Think

I understand this. The difference is that when somebody implements RCA findings this usually results in mandatory overhead. That is not the case with a wooden jig which you can decide to skip if it does not suit your next item you are worki

That is exactly low trust environment. Trust requires that you accept that you can be hurt by the person you trust. If you work to remove that ability you are saying you do not trust that other person. Now, I am not saying that you should d

Of course. I assume it was honest, full time job. And a lot of overtime, possibly. He had to be good at something to get so far. I am just arguing that it is difficult to call it "management".

You are underestimating how effective a "management" technique is demonstrating that you can shoot underperforming minions. A lot of that "management" was simply terrorizing people to do your bidding. So, no, he most lik
