It's mainly binary to JSON conversion, and firing that out over HTTP a few thousand times a second. That's the only IO. Goroutines look very interesting, and as I said, ASIO (C++ async networking) is a real pain to work with. But there are latency requirements here. Something that previously took 1ms cannot now take 10ms.
It's very clearly anti-Trump (I live in the UK).
As for the article, there's this part:
"The president was criticised for ordering authorities to forcibly remove peaceful protesters from a square outside the White House so he could cross the street to take a photo in front of a church."
Wasn't it the AG that ordered the protesters to be moved?
Either way, who cares. This is HN, not reddit (although sometimes I wonder)
It's so sad to see the BBC caught up in all this. It used be a reputable news source, the BBC World Service was just that - listened to the world over.
What are your usecases, if you don't mind me asking? I am considering replacing our HTTP-heavy processes currently written in C++ with Go. However, after reading this thread I'm not so sure. Compilation time isn't that big of an issue for us, but having a simpler way of doing networking would be a win. I can't tell if that ease of use would be trumped by poor performance.
This is a little bit off. The only architecture supported by Java is the JVM. It is a fictional CPU architecture with predefined characteristics, such as a memory model. The implementation of a JVM is a mapping from a real CPU to the J
VM's requirements. So no, JVM doesn't mean 'any architecture', it means 'JVM'. It only applies to OSes where a JVM is available.
Seconded, I tried to package up a publicly available header-only tar.gz into a debian package for our private repo and found it impossible to do. I gave up.
Weren't Hong Kongers themselves asking the US to remove HK's special status? Seems like they're scuttling the ship.
While China seems to think the Covid situation is an opportunity for it to increase influence, it's probably the opposite. The pandemic has shown China to be a single point of failure in the supply chain.
Trump is right about China, but everyone else in the West can't/won't agree as they're too afraid of missing out on Chinese investment funny money.
As for expelling foreigners from HK... why wouldn't they? They're already expelling foreigners from the mainland.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. I can't imagine working for either company, especially in SV. I would be walking on eggshells lest someone hear, or overhear, something 'toxic' and my career gets ruined. It'd be safer to just not talk to anybody, or limit conversations to work topics only. That's an awful work environment. My demographic would make me a target, not a colleague.
