There is nothing in the world more honest than a price.
A fist is.
Honesty, in and of itself, does not virtue make, and a price can be quite dishonest if it does not match a thing's actual value.
A fist is just an asshole trying unilaterally get their way.
A price is the point where a confluence of factors determine what sellers and buyers mutually agree to. Each person, at every step of production and procurement has a say in what the price will be. If you ever really think some price is too high, think of it as a wonderful opportunity to open your own business.
So you have to ask yourself whether Java occupies the sweet spot between the execution speed of C++ and the developer productivity of, say, Python, Ruby, Perl, and PHP. I would say...
It is funny that you included a benchmark (http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r6&hw=i7&test=query) where Java is performing within 3% of C++ for web applications, and simply dominating the nearest PHP entry. Perhaps Java does poorly in contrived numerical benchmarks (which are slanted for platform binary entries with super short run-times) but in real life applications the differences are nowhere near 2x.
guess which one has had more serious vulnerabilities to date? you guessed it, java.
you guys are idiots.
Of course, they were all security problems with the Java browser plugin, which in no way would have any effect on server-side java, or any Java use case similar to Node.js. Reality....
The JIT compiler frequently optimizes code to run faster than than C++ because it knows statistical things at run-time that a static compiler could never know.
It's not one drone. Please name one drone that doesn't have shadowing problems. Unless the wings are made of rf transparent canvas and wood, you're going to have shadowing problems. Any material with enough stiffness to provide support to modern wings in modern flight profiles (carbon, kevlar, aluminum, steel, even most fiberglass) is not RF transparent.
Wow, you must work for Raytheon or something. "The problem is impossible to solve, the wings HAVE to be made of metal."
Alternatively, antenna position, quantity, and quality could be adjusted to provide the desired results. We are not in the dark ages of radio, and it is a problem that could be solved.
It is called being a smart-ass. I'm surprised that you have not encountered enough smart-assery here to understand what was happening. Frankly, my intentions were tongue in cheek, and genuinely not intended to particularly offend you....
The president is not powerless to affect the economy, and as a single person he is pretty up there on the most influential list. He certainly has leverage over the congress, giving enormous economic influence. Still, to blame economic events on any single person or reason is powerfully misguided. At the end of the day, markets go up and also down... sadly they go down, and for incredibly complex, possibly inexplicable, usually compound, always global, reasons.
Most people would think that five years is enough for someone's successor to begin to take responsibility for the state of things, so I was just wondering what sort of time-frame you had in mind. It seems like ten got some response, perhaps you think that presidents should only be considered responsible years after their presidency, it would certainly be consistent with your comments.
The real irony of this whole stupid discussion is how little the president's influence on economic affairs even is. Trying to blame one guy who has very little control over something for the outcome of said something is the real dodge of the issue.
When you haven taken every position imaginable, it is easy to always be on the right side during a debate... particularly when you get the questions before.

Better logfiles are your only defense.
Try Java again with a modern FPU (ie. not the x87 one that was on the 486dx). The advent of SSE and SSE2 are game changers for Java performance.
Java is really lousy at doing floating point and it has no unsigned types. It has no vector support either. That is the main issue.
The float performance is only poor when using the x87 FPU, elsewhere it is forwarded as an instruction.

People forget that their shitty insecure C++ apps are being run in virtual machines anyways, which makes the overhead of a JVM seem paltry.

Are you saying Java is a... fad?

You do realize the difference between 'a holocaust' and 'The Holocaust', right?
So the original poster was trying to say that the Air Force is performing a ritual sacrifice of Muslims, specifically by burning them on an altar?
Having the wing shadow a communications antenna while turning is not really an inherent limitation of drones, just one shitty problem with one drone.
Have you read about the whole normal law/alternative law flight mode thing yet? It is obscene.
There is nothing in the world more honest than a price.
So why didn't you ask about five years?

He was a symbol of things that I don't like when other things that I didn't like happened, it is enough.
I think it is funny that congressmen do things which are the conceptual equivalent of insider trading on a regular basis.

How far in the future will you consider all of our problems to be George Bush's personal fault? Ten years? Twenty?
Yes... it is a good thing none of those things happened... :(
So they are just two pieces of bread with shit on one side? That sounds like a fairly lucid analysis.
None of this information soaked into the original poster.
In the Boeing design, at least the pilots will know their control inputs are doing nothing.
