@uhoh You are still using my that old query?

:-) Wow!

I think it is unlikely that a planet9 would exist. It is because the same requirement on which Pluto failed. The distances are too big, a planet should have an extreme mass to clean up its orbit.

Although I am surprised, what would happen if, for example, a Jupiter-mass, black body would be found in 3 Neptune distance. Would it be said that it is only an asteroid because it could not clean up the Kuiper belt?

Choosing Java instead of C++ for low-latency systems

Ryan Donovan on February 22, 2021

When it comes to developing low latency software systems, the received wisdom is that you would be crazy to use anything but C++ because anything else has too high a latency. But I’m here to convince you of the opposite, counter-intuitive, almost heretical notion: that when it comes to achieving low latency in software systems, Java is better.
