From an 11th gen I get about 6 to 7 with light usage, two to three with any development. It's largely a thin client at this point. Battery health is at 92%. I tried upgrading to the ryzen and when it was good it was really good. I was

I recently did a deep dive on gc issues at work, and compared eden the default collector and z. Our app was collecting pretty heavily, and an average collection time of about 50ms. With Z, and Linux huge pages it was collecting sub millisec

Been using Kotlin for ten'ish years. I feel the same, although I'm not part of the Java camp, coming more functional i.e. Scala. I was working on a number of open source libraries for a more functional reactive Kotlin, but have la

Side question, is there a better remote desktop/spice client than Microsoft Remote Desktop via the app store? I've found it's performance lagging compared to MS RDP client, or Remmina on Linux?

I really wish fabric8, and more specifically kotlin k8 dsl[2] was getting more traction. It removes the down side of yaml all over the place. It's missing the package management features of helm. But I have several jars acting as basel

This sort of echoes what I meant by in my opinion the build system is better on Kotlin, if not more complex. My opinion of course. Using a library from a big tech vendor I found a number of issues with the definition files. That led to me t

I've been using Kotlin for a long time for backend/server dev personally and professionally. I've been feeling this more and more recently. I've said a couple times to my colleagues I've backed the wrong horse. I ha

It's not much different than stadia or nvidia geforce(?). I played online multi player games. If you have a 144hz gsync/freesync monitor. Then this isn't meant for that. But it was totally playable. The weak portion is you&#x
