You're assuming that women want to find a relationship on a dating app. Tinder is essentially porn for women, where they get all the attention they want without doing anything for it. It's primarily entertainment. Using the app it

Well, if you bet on tech you are stupid. All world indices are still up 3% in the last 12 months and have only lost like 10% in the last 6 months.

Religion is only an excuse for hate and violence. Most of the population has already found their favorite enemy in the west, primarily USA, Germany, Israel. State actors and other powerful people have nothing to gain by antagonizing China,

Bulldozer gets too much hate IMO. Okay, the instructions per clock cycle were bad and power consumption was high but you can't forget that the FX-6300 was $100 for a >3-core chip that could be overclocked by another 0.7 GHz without

It's not about behavioural defects. It's that the _code_ is trash. It is unmaintainable and slows down all future changes, exactly because the person who wrote it didn't take the time to think about the future or even good ar

Or he just bangs out a ton of crappy code in the name of "pragmatism", while everyone else has to clean up after him and thus takes longer. I've seen this many times.

And how is that different from a market? All we have to do is tax land appropriately and remove NIMBY regulation that prevents higher density building. Over time the land tax will displace inefficient single family homes, parking spaces, et

So let's say I implement some job scheduling system like you suggested: One job actor instance per job and one scheduler actor instance to create new job actor instances. The job can be in one of many lifecycle states like started, in

Doesn't reentrancy defeat the serial processing property that makes locks unnecessary? If a new message is accepted before the previous one has finished processing, then it can change the mutable state inside the actor. Essentially, yo

I still don't get why you need actors. In all my years I've never come across some problem and thought "this would be a great use for actors". Is the kind of applications that I write simply not suited to it? Many other

They can not, because the enormous amount of money that they printed the last 10 years is not in circulation yet. They can't simply take that back (only very indirectly through ways that are both illegal and would political suicide). T

They can't do a whole lot because they already fucked up monetary policy in the last 10 years. They spent the last decade dismantling the breaks from the car to get it going and now that it's going, they can't slow down anymo

I agree with the lack of rigor in software development, but I don't think that it is much better in other traditional engineering disciplines. I know from my own experience that you can go quite far in electrical and mechanical design

It sounds like you are very confused about types and values. Static type checking does not incur any extra allocations at runtime.

I don't mean high-level synthesis. In fact, using C++ or Python is even worse because there is even more mismatch in the abstraction.

No, the problem with Verilog is that it tries to be a procedural language like C when digital circuits are inherently parallel and declarative (sequential circuits just being special cases with feedback). VHDL is better, but still pretty ba

Well, you also have to run the Kubernetes cluster, ELK stack, Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Prometheus, Grafana and Jaeger to monitor the application and scale elastically between 0 and 20 packets.
