Not really; `-type app-image` merely runs jlink and is intended to let you edit the bundle before calling jpackage again and create the installer. You need the tools from appimage.org for the final step.

Java has many dynamic features where runtime optimization is required to remove the overhead. Virtual method calls are opt-out instead of opt-in, and there is an open world assumption. The possibility of doing stack allocation of objects de

Accessibility apps naturally require privileged access to other applications. Using the clipboard for accessibility is a hack though, as its intended purpose is occasional generalized data transfer. Also, Zoom isn't an accessibility

Unix systems were initially designed to be multi-user systems (as in multiple meatbags accessing a mainframe across terminals), in an era before it was common to indiscriminately download and run applications from the internet. Files requir

Unfortunately making software easy to install also makes it easier for Malware to be installed. It's a classic dilemma that is only fixable by making the user think twice about running stuff from the internet: Unix requires making the

Quite hard because on Linux there is no concept of "apps". There is a (very flimsy) separation between processes, but the strongest actual security boundaries are between kernel and user space as well as between users. Namespaces

There is no install time in Java. If you want something to happen at install time you'd have to ship a shell script with the installer that does a brief training run when the application is first started.

Even if you can gather that PGO metadata a running application won't be able to adapt to changes in that data.

Jpackage or jlink should be extended to support creating AppImages.

How much of these 3s is javac? JEP 544 will only help reduce javac's overhead, not that of the compiled program.

It can and already does. It mostly depends on the GC. Or do you mean non-heap memory that the runtime uses?

That won't be necessary when 544 lands. The only thing you'd gain is not having to ship the JIT compilers in a jlink build. Also, I'm fairly certain that the JIT compilers can be turned off with some combination of runtime fl

IMHO the most interesting feature of OpenJ9 is the compile server. One node decides to optimize, sends over the traces, and the compile server sends optimized native code to all nodes. Or a new node joins and could be brought up to speed wi

One could also just use jlink and extract the zip file that it produces.

It would have been more precise to say O_DIRECT instead of io_uring. The point of io_uring is to avoid syscall overhead. What they were after was actually managing a page cache on their own, and it turned out to be more complicated than the

Murphy was in general so dismissive of his own talent. Granted, he lived in the era before people played chess for a living.

I got by fine with a debit card. But of course it can be inconvenient since they usually lock quite a large charge as a deposit, which gets released when everything turns out fine.

Discounts on volume deals are yet another thing since a higher volume helps the business exceed the break-even threshold faster. Also, volume deals have a favorable management effort to income ratio compared to single transactions. Huge num

Getting one's hands dirty has little to do with cleanliness inside the home. Do you think the Japanese didn't have to do farmwork? Contamination is not a modern concept either. Cue to how many religions have quite sharply defined

It's significant to the Church, but less so for Chinese authorities, who could always decide to establish their own state Church.

The issue is moot since nowadays local practices are accepted to a degree. Even if Rome decided to go back on that it would have little practical relevance nowadays since there are lots of branches of Christianity that are not in communion

I just don't get why you treat this as something super complicated. There is street and nature level dirt which contains an unknowable degree of contamination that can be unambiguously bad for you if you ingest it, no matter what that
