Every time I go VM shopping, it's always going to cost around 30-50% more to run on Azure. Thats a pretty significant increase IMO, especially for companies where Cloud Servers account for around half of our expenses.

I imagine if the enterprise is running JVM based stuff they wouldn't use Azure. I think the point is, is that most of enterprise has used Microsoft before. While it might be more expensive, its a safe bet for them to stick with Microso

runs flawlessly for me on my 8~ yr old device (some AMD quad core thing). Boot ups are always a bit of a crunch, but afterwards its one of the best performing IDEs I've ever used.

This one is pretty good too tho.

I'm all for the JVM but it's too powerful to run arbitrary code man. No JVM in my browser please.

Are you sure thats recent? Its been like that ever since I started programming for the iOS platform (3 years ago) and before its something you would hear about pretty consistently with each major iOS update.

I personally don't equate fragmentation with different screen resolutions/sizes/aspect ratios. An eco system should have a large swathe of options. One size does not fit all in this case. The fragmentation I feel in iOS comes

iOS's adaptive display lumps displays into four different categories. A category can have vastly different screen sizes and even different aspect ratios. They are... iPad Pro, iPad (portrait, landscape) iPhone 6 Plus (landscape) iPhone

Hey incase you aren't aware, having WASM output a human reading version is part of the spec. "define a human-editable text format that is convertible to and from the binary format, supporting View Source functionality." http

by devsquid 11y ago
Well said. Its even built into the spec of WASM to at least try to make the bytecode convert into human readable code. https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/HighLevelG... But as you state, it

I'm not a web developer and it seems a pretty common experience among application developers. Its certainly been mine.

omg praise the day. WASM is days off tho, so don't hold your breath for it or anything. I've switched to Dart, couldn't be happier. No more confusing JS bullshit :)

Sorry you lost me, what company are we talking about? FYI I only read a few sours/entitled ones before making that statement. I'll edit it to make it less provocative.

Dude you'll always have to do something with HTML/CSS/JS. Even if its not your main gig. Luckily all three are fairly simple. Just go make a simple webapp without any libraries and from that you'll pick up 99% of what yo

Lol or that feeling when you know your answer to a question didn't go over well with the interviewer. I've found to remain fairly neutral with interviewers and attempt to draw them out first. Once you sorta know their hand then yo

Cool! :D Do you like your job?

lol I'm from the US and have lived here for most of my life. Its probably true in most cultures. Hacker news has a pretty international audience, so I try to tailor my generalizations to my own home country.

by devsquid 11y ago
Yea its quite cute!(Not meant to be condescending) The site loads them in random order and I read about how someone was nervous during an interview and faults the interviewers and a few other more sour ones first. lol sorry.

by devsquid 11y ago
lol most of them work for Twitter, which is no longer a start up. But yea I see that now, I just centered in on the more negative ones that loaded in first for me. I realize they are random now.

by devsquid 11y ago
Ok I like that, its just the term rejection has a common us versus them connotation in the US.

Dude I couldn't imagine telling a hopeful young person that they didn't get the job. Do you tell them why, so hopefully they can take that info and grow from it, or do you make something up so they don't feel like shit?

by devsquid 11y ago
Getting turned down always feels shitty, but I try hard to not take it personally. The whole you rejected me, but haha I'm better off comes across as pretty self-centered and entitled. -edit- removed question,more

Ahhh good ole Microsoft

Its seems so silly. Like they give out unlimited storage and market the crap out of it. Then what do they expect consumers to do be stoked on having it but politely not use it? Then cutting storage down for it free tier... I don't know

Lol... Yea... So besides your superb use of ironic hyperbole, I would say if you think that is Tesla's business model then you don't think it is copy Apple's.

by devsquid 11y ago
Well yea, but I think the high minded discussion is good as well. Its not that any one country will ever be X or Y ideology, but having good guiding principles helps to make sound judgements. I have studied each of the modern ideologies a b

Yea you're right in a lot of Sci-Fi it is represented as such. I guess I was thinking of how much they gloss over the the fact that a majority of the population is poor af or things like the Prometheus Award, which includes some very g

No I am not concerned with who can actually purchase a Tesla. I was reiterating that because people kept bring up that in the "future" Tesla plans to expand into the lower end markets. My concern is not with what they say/wil
