> Turkey is almost entirely Muslim, yet they produce alcohol and tolerate its consumption within their borders, even by their own people. Let that fact sink in for a moment I don't think this is something to be proud…
I'm just pointing out that the flaw is egregious. PR videos are supposed to give people a view of the future, suspend disbelief for a minute. This just looks like something slapped together by an intern told to "put…
Did anyone else notice that cars being lowered leaves a giant fucking hole in the middle of the street?! This is a marketing fluff video untouched by engineers
There's biologically driven behavioral differences between male and female due to genetics. These differences are on a spectrum that varies between individuals but they are clearly visible in aggregate. A lot of recent…
Tons of companies take satellite views of the entire earth and they're freely available online.
This exists where the economics make the most sense. Some shipping containers have built in tracking and satellite links. Usually the ones with expensive or refrigerated stuff.

I've seen this in a bunch of movies but it just occurred to me that this may eventually happen to humanity. Birthing children is dangerous for the mother and child, and if given the choice many women may decide to have…
The birthday problem directly relates to Bloom and Cuckoo filters as well. The false positive rate is how often two hashes collide.
Does this make targeting new ISA's trivial?
I've seen both ends here in the US. I've worked with some of these big consulting agencies and those guys are almost always completely incompetent, whether they're H1B's or not. Half the code is either obviously…
TLDR: It sucks balls use Jodatime Edit: I was wrong my bad
You are definitely in the majority among .NET engineers. Like everything it seems like people get pigeonholed into certain families of tech after being in the field for a while. Microsoft is one of those families, and…
I worked at a place that used neither the header or geo-ip. Multi language capability was a check box for a client and they never specified how it needed to work, so it was implemented in the most haskish way possible.…
HN is up there for me. It gave me a much broader perspective on the happenings within the field. And it encouraged me to move to the great city I now live.
He makes some good points, others seem like more of a conspiracy mindset. I agree with him that EEE tactics at MS are probably alive and well. We're seeing a friendlier facade because MS is losing it's dominant market…
Not a ton of places, but in my case forwarding HTTP requests. Netty is close to 100x faster than regular .NET. Another example is JSON serialization. Jackson/GSON are maybe 30x faster than the built-in JSON handling in…
You're looking at the wrong settlement. It was 1.95 billion. https://m.theregister.co.uk/2004/04/03/why_sun_threw/
I'm not arguing about higher sea level, temperatures, or CO2 levels. I fully believe that all of these are going up. I think it's unrealistic to believe we can get the whole planet to reduce CO2 emission, so we should…
Look at the older techempower benchmarks where they include the regular .NET framework. It's slow as hell compared to java. And yes that's the problem. The CLR itself probably isn't slower than JVM but most of the .NET…
Back in the day MS created a propriety native code interface for their "Java for windows" runtime instead of supporting JNI. Sun sued them for this and other BS and eventually MS settled out of court for somewhere over…
IKVM exists because library offerings kinda suck in C#, not the other way around. I find it more likely that people will just write these applications in Java. MS has a long, dark history with open source including…
Oh my God I feel exactly the same. At home I don't touch C# if I can avoid it
I've been a .NET developer for years but I've also been a big Java guy. The lack of an OSS ecosystem in .NET is a huge glaring problem. This is compounded by the echo chamber that is the MS developer world. There have…
So far the biggest effect of higher CO2 levels seems to be increased foilage and crop yields http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/grl.50563/abstrac... I don't see how this would be expected to reverse when…
