The reporting of a message's timestamp really depends on the system you are working on. And the key aspect is to genuinely think how the users think about that timestamp. I recently implemented it in a real time system where I write things like "just now" (within the last 10 seconds) "more than 10 seconds ago" (between 10 seconds and less than a minute) "more than a minute ago" (between 1 one minute and less than 10 minutes) "more than 10 minutes ago" (between 10 minutes and less than 1 hour) ... (I think you get the gist) After it say more than a day... then that's it the message is considered very old

Well, what can one say ? congratulations. That really shows some level of persistence.

I always have the radio on when I am on my pc... but hey this is so cool ... so cool ... that I had to turn the radio off well done

Thanks. I was not aware of those two sites. Similar ideas but different results.

Hi there,

Like many, I have stumbled on tons of articles on the blockchain. Some very good, some not so good. But I never stumbled on some easy blockchain simulator where I could try things out.

So if you are like me, and you don't like being told things as much as you like coming to the conclusion yourself then you really need to give blockchaincalm a chance.

thanks,... and any feedback is good feedback

Nashorn is the beating heart for https://github.com/lorenzoongithub/nudge4j

Around 100 stars in github so probably not worth much consideration to whoever decided to 'deprecate it'

Again, nudge4j is effectively 8 lines of Java code (just enough to kick off the nashorn engine) and the rest is JavaScript on Java.

I hope that JEP 335 won't go ahead. I vote against.

I would have thought that maybe the other way around. i.e. let me move my sourceforge project into github.

why would people want to use this ?

hi everyone, lots of work on this idea of mine during the bank holiday weekend. Any feedback is welcome.

here is a cheesy example of JavaScript selfie program for the hacker news community

I am not sure you are correct. We have 2 eyes so that our brain can work out the depth of the image.

LOL. Can't wait to show those pictures to my daughter. thanks

you are right. I will do it and then take another photo

Ok, thanks that sounds fair.

So Javelin is written in Java, not in Kotlin. I don't mean to sound unfair but isn't it that saying "a Java/Kotlin blah blah" just a kind of marketing trick ? If I get Kotlin right every Java solution is also Kotlin compatible.

We built an inmemory map and we were using String.intern for both keys and values. We could see that we were saving lots of memory but we had the problems described in the article. We then built our own 'String.intern' by using yet another static HashMap. It worked. It was the simplest alternative and it just did the job. Thanks alekskey for the nice article.

Good article. I am unsure about point 7 "Consider changing where you live" I accept that for some careers this might be inevitable but in a truly connected world it's also nice to follow the opposite advise and spot opportunities where you are

really really amazing

unfortunately I get

very useful. Thanks

negative votes here are totally unfair. I was pointing it out that the 'this' keyword is dangerous.

you are so much better off if you can avoid using this when writing js. It's as bad as (and as useless) the keyword 'new'

very interesting. thanks

agreed. no more octopus with potatoes for me. they are too clever. I will just eat the potatoes.

I am surprised that domain was still available

did not work for me.

mmm... I am surrounded by Java guys who worked with SWING (gone and forgotten) JSP and STRUTS (same story). They talk about the beauty of Java 8 and that they are waiting for Java 9. I wish I could tell them about this article, because out there plenty of people still treat JS as a toy

great read for a rainy sunday. well done.

this is pretty neat. well done

Interesting... why 5 ?

pity that the link is broken
