> 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 of. The US is m

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 some future ca

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 political rhetor

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.

How is this any different from a human doing the same? The internet is meant to be open, it's free information after all. If you don't like it put your stuff behind a login

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 one "grown&

The birthday problem directly relates to Bloom and Cuckoo filters as well. The false positive rate is how often two hashes collide.

Obligatory agreement that JavaScript is terrible, but this horse is too dead for me to bother digging up a bunch of links about how bad it is.

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 recycled

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 so is Java. .NET commu

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. The app was not local

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 position. H

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 C#. Everyone sma

Guava/Commons contains a lot more than collections. The standard class library in .NET has maybe a third of what's in Guava. Keep in mind that Java's built in library is probably just as big as C#. I won't bore everyone

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 stop spendin

It's well known that large volcanic eruptions have caused global cooling for a few years that's severe enough to lower the temperature of earths surface several degrees. I don't think anyone can deny that it's possible t

Since Java is the most similar language and what I'm familiar with, here's some things where no C# equivalent exists: Lucene, Guava, Apache Commons, Redis driver, Postgres driver, Cassandra driver, Kafka driver, gRPC, Http2 suppor

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 stack

Eclipse is a lot better than it used to be but still has hallmarks of open source applications (confusing UI, giant feature pile). IntelliJ is great but it costs money for the full version. It's closer to a Visual Studio style experien

It's faster. The JVM is almost always faster than the CLR, look at the techempower framework shootouts. .NET core is fast but regular .NET get destroyed by multiple Java frameworks.

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 $2,000,000,
