PR comments I agree with, but after believing in unit tests for years I'm drifting slowly into the "waste of time" camp. I'm convinced that unit tests don't usually find bugs. IMO,…

the more esoteric corners of Java. It's like someone just offered to support windows XP forever. I highly recommenced donating to the Eclipse Foundation, they have made an impact f…

... Until the first person ports QT or GTK and suddenly WASM is just pushing 60 PNG frames a second into a canvas.

holy shit

The authors main complaints seem to focus around "but Typescript isn't ES6". I don't have a problem with this because Typescript compiles down to very clean vanilla JS. Unlike C++ …

Yup for me I would say over 30%. I'm sure Consumer Reports will do a study soon and find that near 50% are counterfeit and the stock will drop like a rock.

Because Amazon makes too much money off it to do anything about it. They could easily track everything... but they obviously don't.

+1 for B&H. They're replaces amazon for all my audio and general electronics purchases. Generally the same prices without a chance of counterfeits.

Or any type of wireless headphones. Not sure the percentage, but never got a pair that was real. In fact I don't buy anything from Amazon anymore...

the website and even the domain name are suspect.

Weather is a huge issue for Disney parks. Both are busy all year round and a third park would be no different. It makes no sense to open parks that can only make money part of the …

the last part was just for the lulz. I figured a facebook quality post needed some facebook quality comments.

The hell does this get on the front page? Serious HN, I expected to see something at least somewhat scientific. This is pure, 100%, facebook chain letter clickbait. I watched the v…

I don't think it's anywhere near conclusive yet that more layers = better. It's pretty telling that the current state-of-the-art is combining a bunch of layers together in a pseudo…

This comment is absurd. "Your CNN sucks, I know this because I work with better ones all the time. (insert metric that doesn't mean much)" Oh, BTW I do ML consulting lol

>My next company will have explicit rubrics for what it takes to get fired, and your status will be tracked daily >You'll know at all times exactly how close you are to getting fir…

Like I said, the major exception is SIMD instructions. AV and heavy math are a tiny fraction of applications. For these you can use JNI. There is precedent for this in Netty where …

a "fix" eh?

This just isn't true. There's many Java ports of C/C++ applications and benchmarks are usually within 30%.

The level of indirection is minimal, basically c++ with garbage collection. That's why they're statically typed. Both perform within a small margin of native code, with the major e…

No. JS is not statically typed and that prevents the vast majority of optimizations and better memory efficiency(native types underneath).

Amazon is finally paying for the rampant counterfeits in their supply chain?

All of those left-pad libraries are a jest, it's trivial to do padding in those languages. I was wrong about Python and removing packages but on Nuget and Maven you can't, its not …

More like it doesn't work as well as any other package manage I've used :)
