Ah thanks, I got confused because you mentioned Java 9. I really hope Substrate VM or something similar gets into the JDK. Having the option of AOT-compilation or using jlink for bundling would be amazing.

If you are talking about Java's AOT feature (JEP 295: http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/295 ) then I don't think it is true AFAICS. The JVM is still needed, Java-Code can be compiled into a shared library but this

I am not sure about this. Swift for example also has `defer` statements but its behavior differs from Go's. Swift executes defer statements at the end of the block, not the end of the function. And AFAICR Swift doesn't evaluate th

Java seems to have a similar initiative called "Project Metropolis" to (re)write some stuff in Java instead of C++: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/discuss/2017-Septembe...

I am not sure if you have seen this review from Qualcomm's Centriq by Cloudflare, but at least for others it might be interesting: https://blog.cloudflare.com/arm-takes-wing/ In the conclusion they mention: "

I suppose that "high-deployment costs" also includes JVM/application startup and warmup.

> The sort() function was using a bubble sort. (This is of course a bad choice, and I think the maintainers plan to replace it.) There are some valid use cases for Bubble Sort for small and almost sorted arrays (although Array.prototype.

I would love to see an in-depth analysis why Go's GC behaves this way for this specific benchmark in the first place. Just playing around with different values for `GOGC` seems like guess-work and could just paper over the underlying r

Your article is from 2016, while I was walking about 2015. This is pretty important since the events from sylvester 2015 were an important changing point. But please let's do not discuss single articles, it is more about the general se

Interesting to read that, after what role german media/newspapers played in 2015. Especially since even journalists of well-respected german newspapers admitted the lack of critical journalism during this time.

No offense, but the blog post is seriously missing a better (or any?) explanation of what's the new JIT all about. At first I even thought my browser loaded only half the page...

I need to add that even glibc is also quite stable and backwards compatible: https://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/timeline/glibc/ . That's why some projects deliberately build their software on very old dis

Exactly. Linux keeps its ABI stable and is committed to not break userspace. Just bundling your app with all needed libraries should allow you to run your app on any distro. There are only two requirements: same machine architecture (e.g. x

You are right, that's what e.g. the verdict against Ireland/Apple was about. But this is only part of the story. The verdict in this case was that Ireland let Apple pay lower taxes compared to other local companies. Some other EU-

Did you read the full article? They have an paragraph on that under the section Methodology. IMHO this addresses your concern. What's your problem with that reasoning?

The EU and its countries are actively trying to tax Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, etc. more than today for some time now. It's just not so easy. But that doesn't have anything to do with Trump, this started well before most peo

But is this really different in other countries? I would say the numbers also apply for Austria. Although 300k is probably more the lower bound. Even if you built the house yourself in the rural area of the country. Austria already has a hi

No sorry, you are right. There are also wages in this chart, I didnt't see that. Sorry for that... But IMHO the difference between median and average isn't that big in Germany, even smaller than in Austria which doesn't have

> that will be the end of Go and Rust Will it? I don't think so, although I think Swift is great. IMHO Rust targets another market compared to Swift. Rust feels more low-level, e.g. Swift uses Reference Counting for everything. Swif

Your chart is about assets not income/wages as you claim. Since the chart is in German too, readers can't see that. People in Germany seem to prefer rent over freehold property, this might explain Germany's low numbers compar

Not to forget that this number alone doesn't mean anything, we still need to compare this number to other countries or to the past. But then we also need to consider stuff like this: AFAIR the number of "working poor" or &quo

No, they use C++ even for the C front-end. But you are right, you can still see its C past in the source code. What's important though is that the GCC devs actively try to avoid the newest C++-features, this allows it to compile curren

Saving some affected banks would've been cheaper than saving Greece. Even if "saving german banks" might have been one of the reason, it wasn't THE reason as you claim.

> Greece imports a lot -> gets more expensive. I just want to add: This could also be a good thing, since people in Greece are more likely to spend money on goods produced in Greece. This could help their economy.

by readittwice 9y ago
Probably true, but that doesn't help anyone. Greece wanted to have the euro, they weren't forced to. They also knew from the start that devalueing your currency isn't possible anymore. Today their debts are in Euro not Drachm

I get your sentiment. But this is quite problematic if you already have a job. It's not so easy to take a week or month off on short notice. What happens if you don't get your dream job? You can't just quit your current job.

Maybe Java/PHP isn't the best example, since they are not so different. I think it is quite possible for an experienced dev to switch from to Java to PHP and vice-versa within a few weeks. Especially if you make use of code-review

I will probably get down-voted for that, but personally I do think that the AfD adds value to the democratic system in Germany. In my whole life I haven't experienced a single other topic that's so controversial and influential as
