I disagree completely. C was a well designed language that was later added onto haphazardly and you ended up with C++. The Scala language designers took a long time examining the shortcomings of java and other languages and ended up improv

You must have had the pleasure of not looking at a system using a ton of AOP, reflection, and injection. If anything can make looking at java using a good great debugger still a nightmare, it's AOP and other such magic...

Why don't you apply to work for a software company that intersects with the health industry. I really think they need all the help they can get from smart tech people. First one that came to mind: http://www.pictureofhealth.com/

If i'm not mistaken, the 'read barrier' is only active during a mark of the heap, not all the time. So, considering that marking can be parallelized and there's a good chance a lot of the heap is now dead objects (you only mark live ones)

Yes, and a job where you're hiring mass quantities of commodity labor, having a threshold is great. However, when recruiting for quite a specialized position, having a low and arbitrary 'threshold' seems counter productive.

Most Generational GC's (including Hotspots, which is the origin of Azul's JVM) will have the JIT insert a write barriers for all pointer sets. This is to keep track of cross generational references (so you don't have to scan the entire hea

I don't understand, are you implying that graduating college is an immense challenge that proves you have a tremendous amount of gumption?

I like it. I'm currently using dropbox to host my .vim/ and .vimrc, but keeping it in dvcs isn't a bad idea either.

Is 'enterprise grade' referring to a specific technical claim made by Voxeo or more of just a substitute for 'often used in the enterprise'?

Twilio uses Asterisk ? Is this true? If so my respect for both their technical chops and pain tolerance went up...

Great question, look forward to different answers.

by runT1ME 16y ago
Thanks for the clarification. You work with Tropo or Voxeo? I actually had a (brief) twitter conversation with the CEO of Voxeo asking about standardizations. I like CCXML OK but really, it doesn't serve the same need as Tropo/Twilio. I'

by runT1ME 16y ago
Yes. Looks like Tropo focuses more on language APIs, twilio seems to be pushing it's XML/JSON over HTTP, though it also has some langauage APIs that wrap the web stuff. Though keep in mind, Voxeo's been around for a while. It's probably m

Almost EVERYONE I've interviewed, including senior programmers, think that if you do this: void nullThis(Object o) { o = null; } Object o = new Object; nullThis(o); System.out.println(o.toString()); throws a NPE

Consider Open Sourcing it as AGPL. In case some company ever does decide to customize it heavily and monetize, they'll be forced to commit upstream or purchase a different license from you.

If having a niche is your main competitive advantage, I'm not sure success will last long anyway.

I recommend community college for now. It's cheap, easy, you'll be ahead of everyone in the class, yes, but you'll learn that there are a lot of things you probably don't know about yet. Notice I didn't say you'll learn them :-), that will

Heh. I'm just saying, for people who do train in martial arts, it's hard to say how well a technique works for someone completely untrained. I like to parry someone's punch and either Deashi Harai or if they come in to tackle, darce them.
