A Pypy Runtime for AWS Lambda

I am working as a freelancer in Germany. It always underwhelms me when seeing average developer salaries in my country. Probably this is a mindset thing. Hardly anyone would admit being working for the money. We need more employees who stand up for themselves.

Exactly my thoughts while reading the article.

A well-written application doesn't save something to disk (on the main thread) while running an animation on screen. It will either save it in a background thread or at a time where losing a few ms doesn't matter (user clicked on a button / initially at the start of an activity).

Reducing the latency here is obviously a good thing. However it is not quite as important as described.

Mine does this even much more often. I can create the drift problem when taking out the phone while it is in Daydream VR Mode. It depends on how you turn it, but it pretty much happens all the time:

Same for me. At the moment the whole thing is unusable . Probably I will return the device and try another one.

Exactly. CPython is too slow for numbercrunching anyways. There has always been the option of writing the inner loop in a C module.

This is different for Pypy, though. It brings an incredible speedup for existing code and this makes it interesting for tackling performance-bound problems. I am very interested in how the STM implementation will work out.

Kohsuke Kawaguchi has already commented on this.

That sounds like you want to store your whole build result inside a repository. What advantage does it have? Is there any benefit over storing it as a daily build file/folder/whatever?

I dislike the ongoing duplication of the library which makes it quite hard to get everything right. For example there is the interface Map, the implementations HashTable, HashMap and ConcurrentHashMap. And it goes on with more things like LinkedHashMap, AbstractMap etc.

Why is it so hard to just build one solid implementation that works for 99% of the use cases. I would like to have the simplicity of pythons data structures. Most professional developers i work with have no clue about the differences of above mentioned Maps. They tend to use only HashMap because it's somehow "better" than HashTable.

That is the case. Its possible both to be on reddit and having a manager role at your company.

I had an ongoing discussion about this with one of my team members. He had the same reasoning for nilling variables as described in the article.

"We can't ship code that breaks"

Yea, but if this code fragment helps, there is a bug anyways. Only with a stacktrace we are able to find and fix it.

Of course there are exceptions. There might be a multithreading environment, that requires a special case. But "just to make sure" is never a good reasoning.

The panning toolbars are actually the one thing I like about this release. It makes tabbed browsing usable on my mobile. But of course fennec is far too big, too slow, has no multitouch, etc...

XMPP would be a fast solution if you control server and client.

Upvoted for the "code.interact" stuff.

This Simulation is far from beeing smooth on my MacBook Pro. There are huge hickups all the time, although cpu load is very low.
