When your system is replacing some existing system, which could well be just paper-based, it is very useful to study it carefully. It will give you a good idea about the data and its internal relations. If you want to show something to a cu

With an AOT compiler a lot of work is done at compile time, but with JIT it is done at runtime, which makes these programs slower to start. But for programs that do run for a longer time, like servers or IDE's the performance is quite

We certainly do deserve better, and the author made some good suggestions. Unfortunately, building a new database is a huge project and there appears to be no party currently willing to sponsor it.

> An example here is how, sure, in theory, JITs can outpace AOT compilation because they have all the information the AOT compiler has plus runtime insights. But the ability to truly do that always seems to be a decade of compiler develo

My country, the Netherlands, has been struggling with water for its entire existence. A large part of it is below sea level. In most parts we have two different drainage systems, one for rain water and one for sewage. All sewage is processe

One of the big problems with "modern development projects" is that they start coding from day 1. The first step in any good project should be to learn as much as possible about the requirements before making serious decision about

A better idea would be to choose a random submission from a larger number of submissions. This would prevent most attacks. Any duplicate submissions should be flagged and there should be a penalty for users that submit them.

When there is good public transportation the need for cars will decrease. Also when buildings increase in density, public transportation will become more profitable. South Korea is a fine example where this worked. The cities are very compa

One problem I see with this approach is that the two endpoints will have different heights, and therefor different orbital periods[0]. This will put a lot of strain on the cable between them. This puts a limit on the length of the elevator

This is correlation, but it is very unlikely to be causation. Having a bad health will certainly cause a person to have all kinds of problems. For example, if your food does not contain enough vitamin C, you are likely to get some form of s

I actually agree with this down-vote. I should have written a far better reply why I think that monitoring all citizens continuously is not a good idea.

OK, that got down-voted. I thought the basic idea behind HN is that we can have some interesting discussions. Simply down-voting without adding a reply why you disagree with an opinion does not really help. I have been interested in securit
