  1. Re:Merging *does* suck on Linus on GIT and SCM · · Score: 1

    We host lots of applications (over 50) on the system we have, with folks all over the world using it. speed has never been an issue for me at all.

    it's a great system when you have a good admin. I can't pimp it enough.

    if your working with a good SCM and have somebody with a clue who administers it (I've worked in a large clearcase setup for years, with a great admin staff) concurrent development isn't that hard to do. Good tools make the job easy.

    file locking is ok for 2 or 3 developers, any more then that, it sucks bad.

  3. Re:die PHP die on Month of PHP Bugs Has Begun · · Score: 1

    >>i cant see how that statement can be true. the JRE might be able to allocate at that speed, since it is machine level, but the application cannot, since it has to be interpreted and then the allocation can occur.

    it's because of how java manages the heap. it asks for a chunk of memory from the OS on startup, when you want an object, it just marks the memory as used and returns the pointer.

    read the article and see some of the clever things the JVMs do now with memory management, it's really cool.

    >>thats not my point though. the point is that String s = "abc"; is not as fast as strcpy( s, "abc" ); for obvious reasons.

    if it doesn't have to allocate the memory first, then it's faster. modern JVMs make String s = "abc" static anyway since strings are immutable (I believe java 5 & 6 both do this)

    I'm not bashing PHP, you just need to be aware that java has changed alot since the shitty applets of 1.0.2.

    java memory allocation is as fast as if not faster then malloc.

    you don't need a whole freaking J2EE stack to do web programming in java, it's really easy to get a tomcat installation setup and write some jsps.

    J2EE is a huge specification, but nothing requires you to use all of it.

    the variety is better on digg, each site has a very annoying apple fanboy base. I don't really find the discussion here very interesting anymore, a lot of groupthink, since the mod system forced away anybody who dares to disagree with the mass opinion around here.

    connection pooling was invented to get around that problem. the connection is already open when you get it (unless the pool needs to create another one)
