• .NET 4.5 - Multicore JIT

  Oct 22, 2012 at 9:03 AM

  @ivan: I consider your comment offensive and not to the point. I didn't say "code runs badly". I just want to know the performance difference between Java and .Net JIT .

  @Vance Morrison,

  Could you please give us some ideas on how the performance of multicore .Net JIT compares to Java JIT on multicore?

  Thanks,

  Ivan

• Anders Hejlsberg, Steve Lucco, and Luke Hoban: Inside TypeScript

  I think TypeScript has a very bright future, assuming MS is not going to dump it in couple of years.

  It is not limiting to use plain JavaScript, when you need you can constrain yourself and get rich tooling support and on top of that it is Open Source, so I expect many contributions from the community.

  Actually one of the reasons I didn't like JavaScript is of the poor tooling. I agree with Anders that tedious things should be delegated to the machine.

  It would  also be interesting to see some Windows 8 examples on TypeScript.

  Can we do Merge Replication with this Local Database Runtime as a subscriber?

   

• No Netduino hardware? Go Virtual. The VirtualBreadboard has (some) Netduino support

  The subscription is $9.95 per month or $59.95 per year (50% discount). Sooo, it is still cheaper to buy real Netduino board for $35 and use it until it breaks . At least for now, while VBB doesn't have support for other extensions, shields, periferals and etc...

  I am glad to see that there are people in Microsoft who think Metro UI is ... bad.

  It is blocky, too busy, and colors are dull. I showed my WP7 to many non tech people and nobody liked it . 

  They didn't like how it is organize, they didn't like bad colors, they didn't like super small navigation buttons, they didn't touch hardware buttons on the bottom, because it is too easy to touch them and you are out of the app.The same with Windows 8.

  Hooray for Microsoft, hopefully Metro is going to be revamp for the good.

• Show Us Your Tech: Inside the Jellybean

  I wonder what was the total budget for this thing.

  I know that frame and wheels will run up to $2000 depending on a model and vendor.

  Could you give us some ranges?

  It is implicit. Yuri calls it "inconsistent set" where at least two of the pairs have the same location such as in my example { (a1, v1), (a1, v2)}, where a1 is a location and v1 <> v2. In this case crash occurs. So we can define it something like that (sorry no math notations in here just English):

  for every Ai where i = {1..k} and k < (infinity), there exists at least two tuples in the form (A, V)i,  where Aj = Al, while Vj <> Vl and j <> l,  and j,l = {1..k}.

  This to me would be a definition of a "crash" or inconsistent state. I think (which doesn't bear a lot of weight ).

  Thanks!

  This is great!

  Thank you, Charles, Yuri, Wes and Bart!

  It was a very interesting discussion .

  I still didn't get how a "crash" case is implicitly defined.

  I can understand that mathematical sets don't have duplicate and therefore duplicate values are excluded either by UNION or by { }.

  I can also see how "crash" could be formalized in various ways, I just don't know which would be the most appropriate. So basically I don't see the set constraint or a definition of an "inconsistent set". I think both pairs { (a1,v1), (a1,v2) } in this set are valid mathematically and there needs to be another condition!? I am not sure.

  Thanks!!!
