I think this is ultimately true, in a sense, but the challenge is correctly handling all of the edge-cases. It's a challenging problem tantamount to the self-driving car problem. I…

Doesn't the budget to pay these people already exist? They are current employees, after all. Their terminations will still shrink the budget, just not as soon as a termination with…

True, but you can say `new Object[capacity]` and cast it to type `T[]`.

Looking at the source, I don't think there's an actual need for the constructor to take a `Class ` type. It's used internally to initialize an array [1]: this.entries = (T[]) Array…

True, but accusing him of a violation privately, to him, is not defamation. Accusing him publicly is still probably not defamation. Whether he violated certain terms of service is …

Let me take a shot at explaining continuations. In normal programming, functions "return" their values. In Continuation Passing Style (CPS), functions never return. Instead, they t…

Could that also be because he reviewed the papers first and made sure they were in a suitable state to publish? Or you think it really was just the name alone, and if you had publi…

I think they're saying that you should provide some example use-cases for how someone would use your service. High-level use-cases that involve solving problems for a business. For…

From context, I would infer that this means they are not changing the Java language itself. It’s a feature expressed through the existing language, like as a library feature. I cou…

The single best metric I've found for scaling things like this is the percent of concurrent capacity that's in use. I wrote about this in a previous HN comment: https://news.ycombi…

For what it's worth, I disagree. I think it would be difficult to design a language more elegant than Rust while accomplishing the same goals. Maybe those goals aren't ones that ev…

Could you elaborate? I'm interested.

For servers, I think the single most important statistic to monitor is percent of concurrent capacity in use, that is, the percent of your thread pool or task pool that's processin…

> Having DNS records leak could actually provide potential information on things you'd rather not have public. This is true, but using a regular domain name as your root does not r…

Are there any good reasons to use a TLD like .internal for private-use applications, rather than just a regular gTLD like .com? It's nice that this is available, but if I was build…

Many log aggregation stores are not optimized for performing row-level updates or deletes like this. In my experience, the majority of log aggregation stores are immutable and supp…

Yes, you're right. Multiple people in the thread needed to be reminded of this. I wrote my comment in reply to you since you seemed to be the most active, and several of your repli…

Please consider presenting the evidence without the personal swipes, and please consider reviewing the HN Guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Be kind. Do…

That's workable for many situations which only require data "storage", but the moment when you require cloud-side data "processing" too, the situation changes. I would agree that i…

I'm just interpreting the context (guessing) but it sounds like his presence in the CODEOWNERS file means that he's being added to PRs automatically, and without people clearly ask…

Just reasoning about this from first principles, but intuitively, the more dimensions you have, the more likely that you are to find a gradient in some dimension. In an N-dimension…
