I really enjoyed their podcast. I haven't found anything quite like it to replace it.

Trailing to signal a floating point seems like to niche of a use case to me. Generally it's best to treat every JSON number literal as a 64-bit float anyway for the sake of interoperability.

Looks like Cornell owns the rights to the apple and are working exclusively with a NY apple growers collective to commercialize the apple. https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2013/08/snapdragon-and-ruby...

They're both similar in design, the main difference is Coral Queue can be used for IPC between JVMs, using a mmap'd file.

The JVM specification does not specify anything about how objects should be represented. The only time internal representation of objects is discussed in the JVM spec is section that says "The Java Virtual Machine does not mandate any

In this particular instance Unsafe was used to skip boundary checks. The main difference between the fastest safe version and the fastest unsafe version was how the file was read. The safe version used MappedByteBuffer to read the file, whi

He'd care about getting government contracts. For example, during the Trump administration the Pentagon chose Microsoft over AWS for JEDI. AWS claimed there was political interference that favoured MS. Obviously Bezos will be rich with

I _think_ UK copyright law would matter here, since at the time the story was published (1890) the Ireland was part of the UK (Ireland gained independence in 1921.) If UK copyright applied, then the story would have entered public domain in

You can't just look at the stock price. INTC has split and had dividends since 1998. If you bought $10,000 of INTC in Sept 19th, 1998 and held it to today the stock would be worth $17,000 and you would've collected almost $12,000

That's true in some markets, but the DOJ complaint highlights some places, like Atlanta, where vacancy rates have gone up, but rents have still climbed higher.

The FTC decision has already been halted by a Texas court nationwide. It's probably going to make it's way to the Supreme Court eventually, but given the courts recent rulings I suspect the FTC rule won't survive. https:&#x2

This is true, although it's also true that many startups lie to, or mislead, investors about the state of their products. If things work out, then the investors don't care, and if they don't its usually at scale and messy eno

In defense of Java's SimpleDateFormat, it's purposefully designed to be compatible with the ICU formatting. The choice of 'Y' for the rarely used "week year" is unfortunate. For those unaware, in ISO-8601 every

Ever since Rodriguez v. United States the police cannot make you wait for the K9. It's considered an unlawful detainment if they extend the traffic stop, without reasonable suspicion of another crime, beyond the time it takes to deal w

CC'ing the lawyer is popular, but probably counter productive. Just including your lawyer in the email chain doesn't make the email privileged and it's a good signal that there is something in the email you don't want fo

Entrapment is when the state induces someone to commit a crime they would not have otherwise committed. For something to be entrapment, the state must overcome some level of resistance, not just provide an opportunity for a crime. For examp

Where did you get the kit from? I've been considering it, and I figured $2 CAD/kW is the 10-year break even point for me, which would be amazing since you can get a 10 year interest free loan for it.

Sodium batteries are a thing. There hasn't been much commercialization of them yet, but the main issue for cars is they have lower energy density than lithium batteries. Currently sodium battery makers are focused on stationary battery

It isn't that severe of a break. Most of the friction was with the libraries with transitive dependencies, like ASM, that depend on a particular bytecode version, using internal classes that were removed (e.g. sun.misc.BASE64Encoder),

Shelter is part of CPI, which this rent fixing would distort. Even so, it seems the rent increases far outpaces inflation.

It depends. In my experience generally GraalVM is slower to start, but after a few iterations it can be as fast or faster, and that the same results can be amplified if you use the JVM instead of AOT (i.e. it's even slower to start, bu

A gravity tractor is the simplest solution with enough lead time. It's theoretical, but doesn't involve any exotic technology or materials. Essentially you have a spacecraft park itself beside an asteroid. It's gravity will m

Whitney is famous for writing code like this, it's been his coding style for decades. For example, he wrote an early J interpreter this way in 1989. There's also a buddy allocator he wrote at Morgan Stanley that's only about

That seems like the mostly likely way, at least for the new items stolen from retail. Trying to sell on craiglist/FB marketplace doesn't seem like it would scale. An unscrupulous hardware store owner could mix the stolen goods in
