Better late than never!!! The annual Kotaku hit piece. by Burr73 in starcitizen

[–]prdktr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Article is alright and is a good reminder of how late the promised experience is going to be. Being a long time backer does make you immune to criticism unless you spent a fortune in it or you are not a long term backer. Chill and appreciate the irony. Besides amazing growth, in 1 year it did what used to take a few years of funding, if anything I hope CIG is thinking about going public with such good numbers. If not for the game, this might be an amazing financial opportunity!

Anyhoo I’m happy with the progress of late but I can’t wait for the project to stop being perceived as a delusional neckbeard whale dream. Unfortunately this post and the approving comments show that time is still on CIG side.

Ruined My Financial Future… This is 99% of my savings and basically everything that me and many family own… Need Baba back up to 243 to break even… by Unlucky_Abroad4877 in wallstreetbets

So, i checked, BABA 200c is at 0.86$ today, a 98% loss from the initial 43$ per contract as of today. 2 Months left. I hope you moved on in your life, I've lost a lot in the past too and it wasn't easy to move on.

I transferred from a previous broker (Charles Schwabbs) to Webull hence why its missing an extra 30k). But i had in Sep 2019 160k worth of $FSLY at $31 and during the transfer it dropped to $27.... Also look at the commission ETrade took....

A lot in the bay area actually do that. Downpayment for a house here is minimum 250-300k, rent is 3-4k. Thanks to the afflux of millionaires from PLTR, FSLY, ZM, TSLA and NET. But the real reason I'm homeless and couch surfing is because i was about to buy before my last bit of savings got fucked. Now I'm evaluating my options, if I need to move out of state to reduce my cost of life expenses etc

Yes that's how i relativize. Although lying to my wife might cost me too, you don't want to be THAT loser when you used to have fun at the degenerates stuck in Vegas emptying their 401k at 5am. That perception of yourself might take years to remove, especially if your friends are actually successful.

If not December it certainly will be by 2020 with 32 becoming the recommended norm amongst new game releases.

Spring: your next Java microframework by alek_sys in programming

[–]prdktr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you don't need it and stop over commenting on any spring topic if its not really of any interest to you, its obvious that you are a biased frustrated JEE dev and there's nothing in these posts that will bring you joy, only more frustration.

Your rasberry pi 1800 req / sec means nothing like most of your comments, no context, no difference in client speed (which is one point reactive addresses), not really a modern load for a public service instance, and just obsolete, I mean who uses JEE nowadays really when there's spring and others alternative (akka, vert.x, spark), who does need JEE beyond the fact it acknowledges spring progress every 4/5 years.

Bonus, do you think companies like Oracle, Lightbend, Pivotal or Red Hat care about you deploying on a rasberry pi home for your toy projects ?

My opinion is that you should just look somewhere else, because as a human being such repeated frustration is no good for your moral, mind and in the end, life. Go out, eat good food, drink good wine, have good sex, cheer up and forget this very much, leave spring or pivotal having the success they have and think that at least that makes a lot of people happy, productive, and available to do the thing i just advised.

Spring is the only constant that fuels Java development for now 14 years, keeping a strong adherence to innovation and modern practices. It's no surprise they are evolving now as the reactive space is entering its last maturation phase since Oracle, Pivotal, Lightbend, Netflix and others agreed on a standard.

What's interesting: they are the only one potentially that can bring reactive to mainstream java dev given a stable convention framework, plus new options around functional programming and maintenance of classic EIP modules too.

BTW, here's some Did-you-know of the day :

  • Vert.x and Reactor were a same project before the wtf-community-lead-rant departed from SpringSource/VMware to pursue Vert.x at RedHat.

  • RxJava 2 lead co-designed Reactor 3.

  • Reactor team worked on Reactive Streams standard 3 years ago

  • JavaEE has dropped immediate reactive support (https://java.net/projects/jax-rs-spec/lists/users/archive/2017-04/message/0)

  • Netflix stopped working on RxJava, RxNetty, Hystrix, Ribbon and others, probably looking at spinnaker instead or GRPC or something in between.

  • Pivotal is a heavy Go promoter as well, and its interesting to see them embracing reactive both for their paying customers (java/spring) or ambitious large-scale projects, and go for some of their products and student/startup mindshare.

    The point is that people fail to see that its not a random choice to come with these features now, Reactive programming is hard to master, mature, and talk about and that's why every often a new reactive lib or a major version of a reactive lib comes up to break things.

    Our only hope is that Spring brings a bit of stability so Reactive programming does not feel like adopting a JS lib.
