Why do you think the CIA funded those al qaeda training camps? Of course they're working in the same direction, they're working together towards a common goal.
You know, I have to wonder how much worse the financial meltdown of 2009 might have been if we had added 8 more years of 'work' by all those investment bankers in the towers.
Why do you suppose personal responsibility changed radically in 20 years if you don't believe genetics did? In reality the culprit is obvious, the conversion of the food supply to corn syrup over the precise 20 years in which this happened. Duh.
a+b = what paging is for. Java (sun vm) doesn't return allocated memory and trusts the os to do the right thing. c+d = set Xmx to the max you can allocate to a process, and trust paging per a+b. Otherwise, if you consider a native process, what is a runaway memory allocator going to cost you?
Seriously, go work in the field. See reality, not the census. The census doesn't count people who don't live at addresses, and largely omits the poorest households.
I guess you have to post AC because you're ashamed of your opinion, and your inability to do things leads you to tear down those who can. Pretty sad, really, I imagine your basement is pretty cold this time of year.
I know I can because I can. I can point to the specific, concrete actions I would make, different from those losers who screwed up at the top.
I think the problem most people have with CEO pay is that we see them perform their jobs so incompetently, it is painful to know that they get paid so much for such lousy work. I know I could do much better, but I'm not 'qualified' for the work, so I can't get the job. I'd be happy to do the job twice as well for a quarter of the pay.
I don't know what area you live in, but the poor in this country (USA) do not typically own refrigerators. A lot of them don't have electric power. There are millions of under fed children.
Hence my comment about peak vs average performance in regards to real time systems. Real time systems can't have the large peak of a garbage collector, so they give up the superior average performance it provides.
Garbage collectors reduce the overhead cost of each memory collection by reducing the number of calls to memory collection, and thus typically provide superior average performance. It's a sort of reverse amortization.
You know that the jvm can be configured to allocate more memory on demand, right? Your statement just isn't factual, and hasn't been for at least the last several years.
No, they disable it because it has a space cost and real time systems are almost universally on small devices. Also, it outperforms manual memory management on average, but real time systems care about peak, not average.
That's likely to be due to them using cross platform ui libraries. Those libs are terrible, and can't even come close to the native accelerated libs. If you need a highly performing UI, don't use a cross platform language and API to do it.
You're doing your agile so wrong it is doomed to failure for sure. What you do is define the tasks as concretely as possible, subdivided to the smallest parts possible. You assign each task a number of points, lets say 1-5, based on your estimate of the difficulty. Anything larger than 5x the smallest task you are required to find a way to break down, even if that just means 'phase I - phase N'.
Then you measure your actual progress in terms of points over time, and after a month, you have a rough but reasonable estimate of when you will actually be done, based on the points remaining and the rate of points completed.
Then and only then is someone allowed to make an estimate of when the project will be done, and you still have to add +50% for padding.
Your team should hire a good agile coach, and require all layers of management with an interest in the project to attend. If you can't get management buy-in, agile is guaranteed to fail. Management involvement is a required part of the process.
With all that said, if you're a java developer in the silicon valley area, tired of dealing with crappy management, send me a note, my company is looking to hire, and we have great management with total buy in to our agile process.
Nah, the garbage collector will outperform custom memory management every time. The best experts in the field have looked at the garbage collector. Have they looked at your memory management code?
Java and C# can both actually beat compiled languages because they can try multiple compiler strategies at run time and use the winner. Compiled code has to accept the best guess from compile time.
That doesn't make any sense, because again, you're comparing property rights to life rights, and the moral case (and generally the legal system agrees) that life rights trump property rights. The baby in this case committed no crime, having not the mens rea to commit trespass. You can't just shoot a mentally disabled person who wanders onto your property and expect not to spend your life in jail.

Probably the part that was mistranslated in the king james bible.
Also, .7% * 350million = 2 and a half million people living without a refrigerator in this country.

I have an idea. Why don't we borrow that money from China, they have all of our wages. Then the spiral never ends, right?
Wait til the Chinese find out what happens when that bubble bursts. They are going to want to foreclose on America. Do you think we'll let them?
That's exactly why I can't get a bugfix for my stupid microwave popcorn button bug.

If you're still suffering in a year look me up ... the chances that we will not still be hiring by then are nil, and we do appreciate the MSCS.
I think you probably meant to reply to someone above me ... my post is in complete agreement with yours.

He could just learn to be a competent project planner so that you don't wind up having to work late nights and weekends ....
