"Java and Kotlin are quick" - this sounds so wrong. It's not the language that is fast, but it's the runtime, the JVM. "The JVM is very fast" - that should be the correct conclusion.

More languages, more insights! A few interesting takeaways: * Java and Kotlin are quick! Possible explanation: Google is heavily invested in performance here. * Js is really fast as far as interpreted / jit languages go. * Python is quite slow without things like PyPy.

Please spend five minutes of your time watching this, and pass it along to friends, especially those who are considering voting for TFG. It's a powerful reminder of why no one should vote for him.

Officer Danny Hodges tells the real story of what happened on January 6th. It wasn't a day of love. It was a day of hate.

We are witnessing the collapse of a cult

Trump’s audience is exiting as he rambles incoherently in Pennsylvania, leaving even more empty seats

Over and over again: some people find that tool X helps in their situations -> "tool X works in all situations" -> some people try tool X in situations where it's a bad fit (or they hold tool X by its blade instead of by its handle) -> "tool X just adds useless complexity."

Can you believe we've reached a point in tech where a package named "is-even" has millions of downloads? hey guys, there is this thing called the modulus operator, and it works JUST FINE

All you need to do for now is to make your institutions cut ties with everything Russian, clear them from spies and harmful actors, and invest in your security — especially by helping Ukraine’s security as the only country currently defending common European democracy. 12/

I worked in a startup that began by operating Kubernetes and 150+ microservices. Can you predict what happened to the startup? And how fast was the delivery speed?


Kjetil Valstadsve Reposted

new blog post discussing why microservices won't solve the big-ball-of-mud or time-to-market issues many companies hope it will do if done without also changing org, processes and mindset: ufried.com/blog/break_up_…. new tech does not fix non-tech problems. enjoy if you like ... ;)

man, every time I’m reminded of this paper I think about how good it is and how much more thought and effort they put into it than anything TypeScript has ever dreamed of, but TS unambiguously won anyway because it had nicer autocomplete arxiv.org/pdf/1708.08021…

I see, yes. I’ll be curious to see what design you end up going with. I seem to remember thinking that the Flow.js approach (described in “Fast and Precise Type Checking for JavaScript”) seemed pretty well thought out and seemed to work pretty well in practice.

Czechs electing a former NATO general over a pro-Russian populist is more important than you think.
