I love java and kotlin. The gap has certainly swayed way more in Java's favor over the last 5 years, but there are still a ton of great features that kotlin does first and if that gives java a target to run toward in a lagging way more

It's not great, but you can always catch and retry if your belief is that the GC will free enough memory to allow the attempt to continue after the memory pressure subsides. Let's say you get 1/100 requests that are randomly

Erm, maybe file based? JSON is the king if you count exchanges worldwide a sec. Maybe no 2 is form-data which is basically email multipart, and if course there's email as a format. Very common =)

The unemployment rate is what, 3%? Where are you going to find the millions of people needed to make the iPhone domestically? Immigration? Hah, that would be an interesting stance. Automation? It would work to fill some gaps, but even apple

I'm sure that China will suffer greatly from any trade war, and I'm positive the US will blink first. Chinese consumer and workers are already significantly less likely to revolt, stop working, drag their country down. The second

The benefits of education on a country are decades long to fully see the positive outcomes. How do you expect differently by destroying said institutions? Your kids or likely kids kids will be feeling the decision of today as the beginning

The two OS kernels and API are super close (outsider perspective). I used win2k for like 10 years mostly on the back of applications and games supporting XP for so long. I can't recall the big API differences. Maybe XP has UAC and the

Make builds in docker by mounting volumes and have your sources, intermediate files, caches, etc. in these volume mounts. Building a bunch of intermediate or incremental data IN the container every time you execute a new partial compile is

At the very least, they can provide a full log of all interactions and recording in an audit log. Have that verified with researchers conducting their own analysis on dial home activity and I think we'll be significantly closer to a go

I don't care if this works or not it makes me giddy with glee at the idea. Thanks for making my day.

To be somewhat charitable to GP, if their climate for research and development leads to actually objectively better outcomes then yes I'd say it's fair to make the claims that a nation's work in any given sector are showing b

Google gives attribution and maybe provenance, while AI gives you smoke and mirrors. I guess we'll decide if copyright has any legs left to stand on in the modern world, or if it falls as collateral. It's so sad that commercial pi

The windows kernel is old. The Linux kernel is old. These are both old code bases, but they're not "legacy" at least in terms of how many would phrase the term. A codebase let to rot is legacy. A codebase that is constantly i

I'm still waiting for file upload API v2. V1 was only made EOL like what, 9 months ago.. Its totally fine to gut your company when all you need is maintenance mode.

The rationale is to damage Chinese commercial interests. Otherwise, the billions of IOT devices that dial back to Chinese manufacturers would be way higher up the list than an AI tool that has shown five minutes of adoption.

There is also an Adblock plus filter to stop the AI from ever showing up. Can't remember what it was at the moment, but it worked great.

Reasons for fad status IMHO, things companies are wanting to charge for that I'm willing to pay for: none. Features added to existing products that have made the product worse: actually more than zero. Maybe this tech is great for peop

You do have some options in the JVM world. As mentioned, you should still be able to kill threads if you really wanted to, but if you wanted to pivot to JS/LUA, there are still jsh alternatives like rhino in JVM to avoid some of the la

I also really enjoyed the jump into Kotlin as well! That said, I'm also very happy with recent java versions trying very hard to close the gap. It does feel like at least half of Java's recent major lifts have been to emulate thi

You can and always have been able to .destroy() threads in java, but doing so breaks the memory model in ways that make it clear that you should never do it. My guess is that if you're kill heavy in c++, then you've also run into

No, the reason they tack on the fee as a "tax" is literally to confuse and otherwise mislead the public to the true cost of the product they're buying, or mislead where the money is directed. they're buying from. If you

I mean in reality, this is an excuse. We can and do build good software for many and all people, but the bad ones make it look like every engineer is out to lunch. Counterpoint, it's rarely an incentive to OSS software (individuals) t

The same reason as anything else. If the merger goes ahead with opposition from foreign markets, those markets can impose import tariffs or outright bans. Smaller markets may be ones these combined companies are willing to piss off, but not

If you're a large enterprise, then it's trivial to add yourself your own custom CA and save the cost/hassle of needing to deal with outside companies. The tradeoff being you need to manage it yourself vs basically paying this
