I wish I had a good answer to this. I suppose I've never looked at anything else than what I was working with (C, C++, Java, JavaScript and much later CoffeeScript) out of "religious" reasons. I guess being really good at wha

The one area where Java feels fat is the memory usage overhead due to 64-bit pointers being used a lot. So if you end up holding and processing a lot of data in RAM, the process allocation and the garbage collector metrics won't look a

Saying that "XYZ media outlet is a normal part of mass shoothing now" is a hypocrisy, because 1. the real problem you should be focusing on is why "Mass shootings are a normal part of the society now", 2. hate can and wi

Well, Go seems to have enabled a new wave of software renaissance - Kubernetes, Docker, you name it - Go seems to have filled the space that Java was too fat for, JavaScript too light for, and C/C++ too difficult/fun-less to use f

I don't know. First, there may be some separation achievable - but I'm just guessing. Second, if Kafka is your primary workload, you don't want it to misbehave in any case. But of course I get your point. I'm just saying

Kafka was thinking about etcd: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-273+-+... Considering most Kafkas will probably run in Kubernetes at some point, they could have shared the etcd used by Ku

I don't mean to pick on traders. Nominally it's a hard and honest job and money made is money deserved. The problem is that if I have a company [and this is a systemic example, no exceptions, see #1], and I allow (central-)bank &q

The theory sounds great. But why then, our streets are lined with homeless, and our nations are stricken with poverty? Could it be that the only real aim and motivation of market traders is to earn money? One day, maybe.... when these are r

PoW - you have to make actual effort (within the realm of deprecating mining hardware) to become a part of the network. Bad for whales. PoS - you can just buy your way in, and stay in. Great for whales. Whales should be kept at the currency

Weird keyboard layouts. Shifting the keyboard off-center to include numeric keypad which no one uses anymore. (Gamers? Please stop.) This alone makes one question what exactly they are "smoking". There wasn't a single big Win

As an expat living in Greece, I frequently shop on the German Amazon site, where Amazon's Fire TV and Stick are pretty much destroying all competition, excluding perhaps Roku. However being from a different EU country, I can order neit

Article may be older, but it begs the question - can you trust anything the big pharma produces? How about vaccines which could be safe but aren't, because they simply don't have to? How about a true cancer cure being suppressed?

You have to question the motives of an agency which needs half a century of spaceflight and trillions of dollars to admit water on a nearby planet.

No, no government should ever be able to do this. Why? Because when you track it down to the person getting the switch flipped, it is always someone with an interest not serving the whole, a.k.a. private interest. And the government should
