If you actually read his comment, I think you'll agree this was an accurate and fair assessment. I've worked with those kids who believe they're super smart and others are simpletons purely based on tool preferences.

Not obvious. Whatever.

As someone else mentioned here, the graphical merge tool in IDEA is extremely powerful. Plus keyboard shortcuts to all the main Git actions. It's overall more efficient. However I always use Git IDEA + Git CLI side by side.

You can always get the EAP version for free. It's probably stable enough for your rarely touched Go program https://www.jetbrains.com/resources/eap/

Thank Garbage Collected languages. I just checked the IDEA config and found its maximum heap is set to 750 MB by default. You typically wouldn't need 32GB to run it.

You are delusional and immature. I've seen experienced Vim/Emacs kiddies like you really struggle to keep up with my productivity levels in IDEA with JVM languages. Doing everything at the command line doesn't make you 1337 and superior. The actual typing and manipulation of text is the least complex side of development. Most of my time is spent thinking, analyzing, rather than monkeying with text. However I use Vim keybindings in IDEA and get the best of both worlds. Efficient text editing + advanced semantic parsing at a level that Vim and Emacs will never achieve.

Yes it is

Yes ideally you would be some kind of indistinguishable Borg creature.

Then make something useful, at least for yourself. A tool that helps your productivity. An emulator that you will actually play games on.

What's the point of a professional violinist playing aesthetically pleasing music alone without an audience?

The point is self improvement, self education. It is incredible that some people don't understand such basic things.

This is for self education as much as self amusement. Have you never done an assignment at school/college/university?

I am always right. Go sucks and Java wins. (just kidding)

>> If better GCs come out or tweaks to the algorithms are made, these configurations have to be updated. In contrast, Go programs gets these benefits for free.

> There is no reason why Java can't do the same by updating defaults. In fact, they often do.

Correct. The JVM guys always update the default GC to be the nearest to 'one size fits all'. Obviously if you've made a custom GC configuration then you want a level of tuning that Go does not provide.

Yet another person who only skimmed the article and hasn't read Part 1, which explains GC tuning tradeoffs and addresses the two examples you mentioned. Part 1 debunks the dishonest marketing from Google around Go's GC when it was originally released, and discusses the tradeoffs that weren't disclosed.

But he didn't say that. That's your own ridiculous emotional projection. The article contains very thoughtful criticism backed by detailed analysis. I don't think you even bothered to read the full articles (there is a part 1). The final sentence was, "Overall, it looks to me like the Java guys are winning the low latency game.", and that's a fair conclusion.

Why? Did he hurt Go's feelings? It's a programming language, not a child. I prefer his honest assessment of their relative strengths and weaknesses.

But I wasn't talking about Artificial Intelligence or problem solving. I am talking about Actual Intelligence, specifically human level intelligence.

If we build AI we could only know if its conscious if we know what conscious is, and that is something we do not know, and perhaps will never know. It could be fundamentally beyond our comprehension.

I wrote "computation", not "arithmetic". Human intelligence goes beyond computation / mathematical logic, and you seem to ignore all of that. We haven't got a clue how consciousness works. It's a total mystery.

I clarified it in my latest reply above. The original comment asked if there is any doubt as to whether a neuron can be represented computationally. We don't know exactly what a neuron is, and are still discovering new subtle mechanisms in their functioning, and they are part of the most complex structure in the known universe, therefore of course there is doubt.

No I'm saying: "We don't have a perfectly accurate physical model of consciousness, we know that physics is incomplete, and our current model of neurons extends to the lowest levels of known physics, therefore there may be unknown physics involved in consciousness, and those unknown physics may not be computable."

As stated in my other reply: "Human consciousness extends far beyond our current understanding. I am referring to the full extent of the capabilities of the human mind, not some isolated aspects of it."

Computers have not superseded humans in mathematical research. That is way beyond anything that we can program into a computer. Computers are better at computation, which is not the same thing.

We actually do have reason to believe that, since our current understanding of consciousness is very incomplete. Human consciousness extends far beyond our current understanding. I am referring to the full extent of the capabilities of the human mind, not some isolated aspects of it.

The physics of bridges is well known. That is basically a solved problem. Human consciousness/intelligence is an open problem, and may never be solved.

But there is. We have fundamental research into whether physics is computable. We also have fundamental research on the physical structure of human consciousness/intelligence. So first we need to discover the physical model of human intelligence, and then we can determine its computability.

Yes there is doubt. Can you say for sure that we have a complete model of all physics, and that all physics can be represented computationally? We're still discovering new features of neurons at the quantum level. Who knows how far down it goes. There may be some unknown physics at play inside neurons that can not be computed by a Turing machine. https://www.elsevier.com/about/press-releases/research-and-j...

No shit. Cheers for pointing that out for us.
