Re:Cassandra 4.0 vs. 3.11: Comparing Performance on Friday August 20, 2021 @02:11PM (#28249419)

No doubt - excellent job, C* folks! Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be bitter but I'm genuinely curious how much of that improvement can be attributed to JVM (?). And, also, how much of an "optimization reserve" C* itself still has (and will pull off one day)?

That's a strong accusation. Do you have a reference to any 'unpaid benchmarks', so we can judge ourselves?

Ask HN: Is `Crossover' a legitimate employer?

from the ask-hn dept.

(Please note: I'm not asking about a piece of software under the same name.)Recently I almost got lured by a company named Crossover [1], but a quick google search for - pardon me - "crossover scam" returned a number of threads, e.g. [2]. Anyway, I clicked the `apply' button and I was redirected to their website with the same job description... and half the salary.What makes me even more...

The concentration of buzzwords caused my sensor to cross the redline. Can you please explain, in plain English, what it is?

Re:Silicon C++14 Web Framework Documentation on Monday February 16, 2015 @07:20AM (#9056532)

I always missed a good web framework in C++. I tried Wt, but didn't like its 'desktop app philosophy', so I dreamed of creating one.

Why I didn't do that? Because web framework must be feature rich. Rendering templates and maintaining sessions is no longer fun; today people expect the frameworks to solve their countless high-level problems, such as Paypal integration, i18n, currency manipulations, etc. Needless to mention that the code must be rock solid and well documented.

What's my point? I appreciate your effort, but I'm afraid you need some greater powers to be involved in development of features. Keeping fingers crossed for this to happen!
