IKVM exists because library offerings kinda suck in C#, not the other way around. I find it more likely that people will just write these applications in Java. MS has a long, dark history with open source including attempting to kill both L

I've been a .NET developer for years but I've also been a big Java guy. The lack of an OSS ecosystem in .NET is a huge glaring problem. This is compounded by the echo chamber that is the MS developer world. There have been multipl

Someone else in the thread mentioned releasing sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere to cause global cooling. To me, the notion of getting the entire planet to reduce their CO2 production is laughable. People are still sold as slaves and dyin

So far the biggest effect of higher CO2 levels seems to be increased foilage and crop yields http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/grl.50563/abstrac... I don't see how this would be expected to reve

I see your point. To me it's like numerous engineers are warning me that the temperature of the building is going up quickly. When I ask any of them what to do they say we should stop producing heat. I ask whats going to happen when th

The only true monopoly Google holds is search. They have a lot of successful products in other venues but nothing that reaches 90%+ market penetration. The only other thing that's close is chrome browser. Chrome is already starting to

I read that the era of nuclear testing noticably decreased surface temperatures for some time. If we can't figure anything else out we could probably settle for blowing up a bunch of cleanish lead wrapped nukes out in the ocean every c

One thing I thought about a while back related to this. Predictions show that increased energy in the atmosphere results in stronger storms. Storms are not preserved in the historical record, so how bad will they be? The relationships betwe

Sounds about right. Takes even longer to close it. That's why you don't manage the socket yourself and just use boost ;)

Satellite I believe. CO2 absorbs certain bands in the infrared range. You can probably use optical spectrometry to measure relative concentration.

I don't know much about climate science, but won't plants multiply and grow faster until we eventually hit a new equilibrium CO2 level? I guess the only danger is reaching thermal runaway before that happens? Then again, earth CO2

I've always marveled at watching something so huge move at great speeds in near silence. I have a large wind farm nearby and I've gone out a few times on windy evenings to watch the turbines for a bit.

I thought the most interesting aspect of these studies is that intelligent people are better at judging the intelligence of others. Those in the bottom quartile could not estimate the intelligence of peers much better than random chance. Th

This happens on HN within our field too :) . I see stuff hit the front page all the time, only to be ripped to pieces a few hours later when someone that knows what they're doing appears. Do you remember the "super fast hash algor

It blows my mind that this is on the front page. It's not useful for anything, doesn't fully work, and can be replicated with a few lines on the console of BSD/Linux/windows.

I don't like it either. I think it's just that "vaun" is a rarely used sound in English. No real words end in vaun.

I felt kinda bad tearing it apart and only did so because it wasn't posted as a ShowHN. It's cool to show people an example of networking using Boost but the article and post have no mention of this being alpha quality software.

Netty is hardly the example of a hype driven framework. I'm not sure when it was first released but I've found references from version 2.0 in 2004. It may be older than HAProxy. Netty is a far more robust, faster, and easier to us

They both use epoll underneath. Netty will likely perform better because it has a robust thread pool implementation.

I was trying to say in a nice way that it's unlikely you've created something as fast as netty because a lot of people spent a lot of time optimizing it. Netty is also a lot easier to extend and more portable

I can't figure out if this is a joke or not. Amazing how far out some of these audiophiles are.

I'm under the impression that Google determined there was nothing quantum about it but is unable to speak up due to a forest of NDA's.

Check out the techempower framework benchmarks. Netty can do over a million http responses per second on a reasonable machine. On Linux it uses an epoll native driver and is asynchronous. The framework makes it possible to write proxies in

Woah not trying to insult you, was just browsing /new and saw the title. The post contents were fine. Any title that sounds like clickbait either doesn't get upvoted or will get changed by the mods. Your title amounts to a longer
