I would show you task manager showing 100% of user addressable space being used. It seems to reserve at least half of its memory for Windows itself or background processes. What kind of crashes? Applications just shutting down without warni

by andy800 1mo ago
My Windows 11 laptop with 32 GB RAM only allows for about 10-12gb user addressable before starting to crash. I do keep a lot of Chrome tabs open so that can easily get to 6-8gb, plus IntelliJ can use another 4-5. Add on VScode, sometimes Fi

You're correct that it's a matter of the developer's view, or philosophy. The issue I have with "just give you the data" is that requires the server to encode the raw data somehow, most often JSON, send it down the

Amazing... an HTMX thread without any haters interjecting or critics telling everyone why HTMX wont work. Even React-aholics have to tip their hats to a Game Boy release.

2 applications: StartAllBack and Winaero Tweaker are both lifesavers, as far as I'm concerned. Both allow you to customize the look and feel of different elements so you can run the latest Windows 11 but still preserve elements of the

Part of Panama is the Vector API, currently in "incubation". Kotlin Notebooks are a great dataframe alternative to pandas or polars in Python (and dplyr in R), and work fine for relatively small data sets, but are indeed slower wh

Sorry, not giving McDonald's a pass. They have a large team of data scientists and technologists working on their app and customer data. Even with a massive base, running a query to find individuals whose spend has dropped 50% y-o-y is

They must be doing a very poor job of optimizing their marketing. I had a long history or ordering the same items using the same "deal", dozens of times a year. They removed that deal and my spend at McDonald's dropped 90%. I

Honest question, going back to Java, dont you miss scope functions (let, apply, also, etc)? Extension functions? Using sealed classes and "when"? I am happy to see Java (and the JVM) improve but it still seems to be missing some o

With the proliferation of JS, TS, Python, Go, etc, Kotlin is probably not even a thought for many young developers. Any efforts by JetBrains to bring Kotlin to where the people are at (as opposed to expecting people to come to IntelliJ) is

Because you'd also have to submit the money it would cost to buy every combination, and also, you likely couldn't fit every ticket (tens of millions of combinations) with a realistic-looking ticket generation time (approx 1-5 seco

Install StartAllBack and choose the Windows 7 theme. Even if you dont care about the other UI improvements like the older Start Menu, it's worth it just for the improvements to the clock and calendar - the analog clock especially.

you can either isolate the LA customers and charge them the "real" price of the risk, which will be unviable as a business NOT lining up the premium with the actual risk is what's non-viable.

As a CEO of HTMX, I'm qualified to say that recursivedoubts is best described as a grug-brained developer. https://grugbrain.dev/

Kotlin is an awesome back-end language with strong typing, tons of libraries and multiple HTTP frameworks (http4k, ktor, vert.x, many more) and templating options (jte is terrific, and fully typed). Guessing it's too late to switch now

This is often why people get frustrated switching HTMX for the first time. The idea isn't to "translate" the code, but to completely rethink concepts like state and pages and things like components. Not everyone is able to co

by andy800 2y ago
Somewhat pedantic - Using HTMX represents a modern approach to building a web front-end. However, I'm confident that recursivedoubts (creator of HTMX) would agree HTMX is not itself written in modern Javascript. No Typescript, no m

Not sure about this, I think the vendors were happy with their own proprietary code, agents and backends because the lock-in ensures that switching costs (in terms of writing all new code) are very high.

This can work in a lot of industries - I am skeptical fast food is one of them. Switching costs are low, alternates are plentiful, and collecting information (reviewing deals/prices across companies) is relatively easy. If McDonald&#x2

No, this is the point of the article. The person without the seconds could not tell if you were late or not when his watch says 1:00. A display of 1:00 means the actual time is between 12:59:30 and 1:00:30, so there's a 50% chance the

Your second example contradicts the first. "Sending a message" doesn't happen in an instant. There's always some latency, which can be significant in email systems (the most common, universally accepted way to send a m
