If the webhook events are coming at some sort of a brisk pace, the sender well may be able to reuse an already-open connection. And if they're rather infrequent, is the efficiency or latency likely to be a significant concern?

Ah right you are, and I've only experimented with Graal to build native images.
153.
by sk5t 5y ago
Doesn't Graal require that none of Java's reflection stuff be used? e.g. Class.forName, Class.getFields, runtime DI frameworks, and so on. This would seem to majorly limit the cases where it might be used.

This seems to be a very unpopular comment. But why--is the common case of losing (err, "returning to the employee option pool") unvested options at separation controversial, or have I done something offensive by pointing it out,

Not if they haven't passed the cliff. Unvested options forfeit.

Exactly, you can use PID to turn a small craft or a large ship, or to heat a tiny copper vessel or an enormous iron one. Delayed effect and tuning time to setpoint and overshoot are, like, well within its territory.

I tend to believe that any laws requiring that corporations not transact using cryptocurrencies, period, would have extremely broad effect, much more so than attempts to stamp out the (surprisingly inelastic) demand by individuals for subst

Why not? What's to prevent e.g. the U.S. Government from outlawing the use of exchanges, and/or outlawing the payment of cryptocurrency ransoms, just as it forbids globally the payment of bribes?

"Nearby" is a funny choice of words for anything over half an hour's travel or so. Like, is Scranton nearby to NYC? Sorta?

Metabase’s free version supports Google login and no others — it works okay, but any further login federation requires stepping up to the enterprise version (at least for self-hosted).

by sk5t 5y ago
Although some things in Metabase seem a little too asynchronous, it inspires confidence to see it's written in Clojure! We run it on ECS/Fargate with Aurora Serverless, very tidy deployment.

Well, I in fact did mention the "compactness" of integers at the start of this thread :)

Strength/rigidity is not necessarily what you want for safety. The energy in a crash has got to go somewhere.

I applaud your vitriol for the Transit and its ilk. Nissan is the Chrysler of Japan and best avoided on all matters. GMC Savana, still a real van?

Fruit is nature's candy. So it tastes good! But it really is nature's _candy_, so it also harms your teeth.

"Don't ever be wrong" is one way to do it; on the other hand, sometimes we make mistakes anyway, especially in ad hoc queries, and not getting any results back at all helps to spot the problem quickly (more quickly than spend

Could not have some tenets of Scandinavian cultures survived in those regions? If so, would it be racist to study cultural differences and effects of relative monoculture?
