Ah, I'm confusing its availability with Shenandoah and zgc. Unfortunately, the last time I used IntelliiJ it came with its own JDK8. Is that still the case, I wonder?

The new breed of garbage collectors may change this significantly for the better. They need to be explicitly enabled, but there is a GC (G1) that may be better suited for desktop a…

Scala was the only language that I gave up and used an IDE for several years ago due to the nature of implicits. The language server protocol has been a game-changer, though. Now I…

I know you're taking some flack for making it about age, but I do think there's some merit there. I'm 34. I feel like I'm in the middle in terms of software developer / sysadmin ag…

> which attempts to hide the implementation of distributed networking To be fair, this is precisely what Akka doesn't do, often citing A Note on Distributed Computing (1994) which …

What makes you say use1-az6 is the culprit? I only ask because none of our workloads in az6 have experienced any issues. ....yet. We run critical workloads across 3 AZs thankfully,…

Sounds like that should apply to Dropbox, as well.

I always tell people that ADHD is not an inability to pay attention, it's an inability to direct and focus one's attention at-will. Whatever is most stimulating gets my attention.

Not sure what meaww.com is, but Daily Mail is the original source and is not generally considered to be reliable, for what it's worth.

Oh my god, the captcha at the end is so good. Is it even possible to get through?

Apparently it took over a year for the coffee to kick in! I just always shrugged and thought it was a cutesy name for a company that did something boring like dig tunnels. I cannot…

Oh my god. I literally just now got the joke: the boring company. Because they bore tunnels.

DNS is also inherently distributed. This should make it resilient to all of the most common outage scenarios, and is likely why AWS offers a 100% uptime SLA for Route 53. I'll be i…

I know this is 100% anecdotal, but a good friend of mine who was a brilliant programmer discovered cannabis in his late 20s after moving to the bay area for a well earned high-payi…

If someone robbed you would you contact their place of employment? No, you'd contact the police. Sexual harassment is a crime and crimes should be reported to the police.

I'm not sure, but they don't produce CFC-11. That is what is being measured, and its effects on the ozone are well-established.

I rest my palms. No issues. Smaller touchpads have always been more uncomfortable and harder to use for me.

The Apple touchpad is by far the best trackpad I've ever used on any laptop. By such a wide margin it's ridiculous. I never accidentally press it with my palm or have any other iss…

> Are interruptions really worse for programmers than for other knowledge workers? Who cares? It's not a competition. The fact is that it sucks for programmers and we want to avoid…

Do you have a NYC number? Or is this happening across the US? I've been getting them for a couple of months now and there was just a post on the NYC subreddit the other day talking…

I think your arguments are well-reasoned, but I also think that you, along with others here making analogies to libraries/filing cabinets/etc. are too eager to equate physical acce…

Welcome to the Internet of Dicks.

> They don't actually compete with each other, I don't even understand the comparison. Kubernetes uses docker. Kubernetes is scheduling and orchestration. It does compete with Dock…
