  • I had to containerize an older java app. It sucked, java would take all the memory you gave it regardless, so it was hard to determine memory requirements/limits. It had pretty slow start although this wasn’t an issue for us, logging formatting was a pain. All this was overcome (not by upgrading), it was just a pain.

    I suspect this isn’t true of modern java though - I’d suspect with the hype kubernetes went through a few years ago that it’s just fine now a days.


  • IMO it doesn’t matter, learning go from Java should not be what excludes you from an offer. Of course if the employer has a choice between two otherwise even candidates then maybe it’d help.

    I think the problem is working with both in a production environment is what is going to set you apart.

    I’d say learn a language that’s really different like a functional or a logic language.

    Otoh I’ve not been interviewing lately so maybe my take is totally off base










  • Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t

    WHAT. He sold beans for money in his first term, of course he’s making money off of it.

    I don’t think he’s smart enough to actually take advantage of this.

    This is one of his major MO’s making money, maybe he missed the first few times, but he’s done it so much now that he’s for sure making money on these bets, just like every supporter he’s got out there.

    Why do you think he walked away from the table because of the DST, because he cares about gig tech? They paid him – that’s why they got seats at his inauguration.

    And before you say anything, no he will not learn his lesson.

    Disagree, this is a lesson reinforces itself, I bet he continues this way. I’m not saying he’s smart, just greedy.




  • I liked Jagmeet, and the NDP platform (well what i understood of it), if i wasn’t worried that PP would get in they would have gotten my vote. I did feel that he didn’t stand a chance of getting in.

    I did read Carney’s book (values), i found it extremely difficult to read, and said a lot without saying anything. I don’t think he would get my vote if not for PP.

    I’d like to see a rule that any politician voted in must work in an aid camp in a warzone to be elegable for office. Or maybe spend a year as an average citizen in their country.




  • The percentage seemed arbitrary and it being retroactive seemed excessive and unnecessary.

    What?! 3% We pay 8.79% on our income here. Three seems low.

    I feel like no facebook in canada would be a net positive, especially after reading “Carless people”. I don’t even think that would happen, it’s not like these companies can’t afford it, they just don’t want to set a precedent, and they spent all that money on trump!

    I use an adblocker and pirate most my stuff so no one is making money off me.

    You never use Amazon? I also use an adblocker and a pihole i think i see relatively fewer ads, i still see them.

    The one negative i can think of coming out of this is the companies passing the tax on to us, i suspect that wouldn’t happen.
