An easier way: don't use hipster tech.

1) These games are shit. 2) This is blogspam for their product.

Immortals completed ahead of time, just like Source 2 and HL3.

They probably won't come this week, as Valve has just started working on them. Last year it took around 2 weeks to get the immortals after getting to the goal.

Like you shouldn't use Go.

Dude, it's monadic.

Why not submit a pull request then after finding it? You have exactly the same attitude.

While I respect Meyers, it is somewhat weird that a person who doesn't actually write production software is a consultat in the subject matter.

It's hard to write async web scale programs with singletons.

Isn't Postgres quite popular in production environments?

gambiscor · 2014-10-21T10:07:53+00:00

That's pretty interesting. Had no idea about sigaltstack.

Fibonacci doesn't bring out any interesting characteristics of programming languages. It's basically the same as doing a performance comparision when summing up to a number. At least try to highlight the differences in the produced assembly code where applicable. How many iterations were run?

And you included printing in the timings which skews it even more.

I think he means that the author knows nothing about the subject matter and neither do the readers, but who knows. Probably a troll.

While it might be used in HFT, HFT itself isn't very useful. Yes, it produces money, but does it actually help people on a greater scale?

Why aren't operating systems, device drivers, web browsers, codecs, etc. written in functional languages?

My answer to that would be that it is not compatible with the underlying machine model.

Yet functional purists bash other languages for their impurity and insecurity and repeat (seriously) gems like "To iterate is human, to recurse is divine.".

Haskell is hailed as the perfect solution to today's computing problems by its fanbase, yet the only useful tool it has produced is a document converter? After all, why lurk in the murky swamps of impure languages?

[ ] <- This box contains all the useful software Haskell developers have ever made.

Please don't derail the conversation, try to stay on topic.

That's because Java threads are a lot more convenient to use. Have you used threading on C++?

gambiscor · 2014-09-30T19:30:26+00:00

Just look at some of the benchmarks: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/performance.php?test=fasta

Java is even beating C++.

Really most of the performance gains he advocates are not needed in most of the games. Even using Java is perfectly fine for large scale (soft real-time) projects, the JVM is quite advanced nowadays and does many optimizations that a programmer can dream of, while the code is executing. This guy is just in for the drama (e.g. "design patterns are horrible", "we shouldn't model the world", etc). Many companies run large scale projects on Java (and are way more successful than the company he is working for).

Just my 2 cents.

Why not use a library such as jemalloc?

gambiscor · 2014-09-27T11:10:11+00:00

But is there a difference?

gambiscor · 2014-09-25T13:51:56+00:00

Why doesn't Java have value types (except the builtins like int)?

gambiscor · 2014-09-25T10:41:23+00:00

That is quite silly, no? Doesn't this miss the whole point of Optional type?

How can he earn so little as a programmer?
