Agile focuses very hard on the short term. Hopes and dreams are not short term. Agile is a way to implement innovation but it will not create it. My experience is that the shorter the stories are then the less innovative the code becomes. T

Good arguments. I based 1kw on the 800 watt rating of the machine mentioned plus a/c etc. It is all ball park and I am a bit shocked you are the only person to call me out. But it does not matter because if you 1 tonne per year - it is stil

Not sure of the connection here. BTW - check out the nerds-central post on why Thorium matters if you are pro-nuclear - it might have some good amo for you to use.

OK, I'll explain this as you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. When one commissions a server or server farm it is done against a service non functional requirement. For example 1 second page serve time at peak load. This mean

The post is talking about servers. Most scripting is for code running on servers. Servers do not wait for the user. Your comment has zero merit.

Most real scientific computing (quantum mechanics - in which I did my doctorate, meteorology, astrophysics etc.) is done in C or more normally FORTRAN. The code will use highly optimised routines like BLAS. It is normal to perform careful i

Unfortunately - right now - we do not have unlimited energy. If we did - then the argument simply shifts to the limited mineral resources we have to make the computers...

I was not expecting this to produce so much interest. I guess a lot of people have asked about how to implement try/catch/finally in C++.

Hi Scott, I think I am reacting to the arrogance in the language. "This is how research works." is what you said. That is quite presumptuousness of you to say that because your language naturally suggests you are telling me something I don'

Actually, it is relevant that I was researching something else. I have published papers on research; in that process one crosses all the ts etc. In this case I am saying - here it is - if you are interested you can run with it. That is very

I know - I think the post makes that clear. I explained the purpose of the whole thing an earlier reply. But Oracle and IBM have realtime implementations of the JVM I believe, though I am more familiar with the Oracle one.

by NerdsCentral 15y ago
Totally agree. My original aim was to use an idea I had about the way the garbage collector synchronises in the Oracle JVM to give 'windows' of determinism. So I set about making a program to push the gc really hard so I could see if my ide

by NerdsCentral 15y ago
My point is that I never said the GC was bad. I said I showed up issue with it. As I explained in detail in my post - I was actually researching something else. BTW I did experiment with 2 other garbage collectors - the default and the incr
