barely competitive ? Mythos column is the first column.

You are the only person with this take on hackernews, everyone else "this is a massive a jump". Fwiwi, the data you list shows the biggest jump I remember for mythos

the model is open source, you can run it locally. You don't think thats significant ?

"In my mind, they're hardly making any money compared to how much they're spending"

everyone seems to assume this, but its not like its a company run by dummies, or has dummy investors.

They are obviously making awful lot of revenue.

This isn't really a debate is it ? You like it for reasons other than value. OK, but its more expensive than other vps providers.

Customer service : if you need to use cusomter service something has gone wrong, and I literally move provider.

the flamewar was started by the post being flagged, your post is patronising.
Citadel is just a marketmaker that rh uses, they could switch all their flow to a different mm (who are doign the other 40% of flow already) easily.

They don't own it.

"wanting to saturate the write channel into a database in general. Consistent hashing document DBs like DynamoDB, Cassandra, etc. are basically infinitely scalable for writes."

I don't really understand what are you are saying there ?

But we use disruptors for processing millions of messages/events as quickly as possible, with a variety of different consumers.

The ASX is implementing blockchain for its ledger, via the digitalassets company. Right now.

HST voting dapp is being used at the world economic forum, this week.

Thats two I know of, off the top of my head.

As well as the obvious btc and eth being used to purchase stuff everyday, all over the world.

Its actually happening if you bother to look.

And what was chosen instead that had a significantly easier uptake for "seniors" ?

Steve Ballmer strikes me as an idiot.

He doesn't run google.

It's almost as if the people running Google are not idiots.

> So what?

Lots of people don't like xenophobia.

> have the right to choose who to do business with?

Ah here we go. Like the hoteliers who don't allow gay people to stay ?

Re:French chef asks to be stripped of three Michelin stars on Thursday September 21, 2017 @02:07AM (#15300939)
thats not what he said though.

He said "how can a bunch of foreigners tell us what is good or bad."

There is no undertone, its explicitly xenophobic.

Which is torture, so they could do that until he tells them the passcode aswell.
I thought supermonsoon was much more likely.

Hyercane sounds like sci fi.

Re:Java: Free at Last on Saturday September 09, 2017 @06:17AM (#15206380)
Maintenance mode, that's ridiculous.

It's just had one of the biggest releases in years, with 8.

And 9 I understand it is going to be even bigger, with jigsaw - the goal being much smaller dependency.

The Dev community is thriving, growing in fact. The latest release has made lots of people think Java is actually pretty good.

The reference implementation is now the open jdk. So yadda yadda yadda with oracle.

yeah actually.

> If a developer on my team has committed only 30 lines in three months, sorry but I'm gonna be skeptical of their actual productivity

If LOC is what you rely on, I'd be sceptical of many things, sorry not sorry.

Re:Rapid release at massive scale on Friday September 01, 2017 @01:15AM (#15146281)
I'm not offended I just think its shit.

Its not difficult to track "velocity" via story points,features or bugs and is at least a step in the right direction.

LOC going down is often adding the most value.

Re:Rapid release at massive scale on Friday September 01, 2017 @12:34AM (#15146143)
I just think they are bad for anyone. Its not hard to measure actual useful things like features or bug.

Why even bother measuring lines of code/number of commits.
