I stand corrected, it is not a lazy shitshow. You’re right, fake sudo prompts is how people get exploited all day long. I’ve witnessed it on MacOS. For UAC, the user still has to learn that the darkening on the screen and the prompt is “ser

When you write C++, you can allocate memory all day long and write ZERO delete statements. That is possible, I’ve been writing C++ like that since 1998 (Visual C++ 5.0 and lcc). Can you imagine allocating memory and never risk a premature o

LOL you should be upvoted as your comment perfectly captures the blind arrogance of the software industry. When you call people computer illiterate, you are blind to the technocrat injustice imparted onto the general populace. > The obno

I would check your answer. These are pauses due to time spent writing to diagnostic outputs. These are not traditional collection pauses. This affects both jstat as well as writes of GC logs. (I.e. GC log writes will block the app just the

Probably because pages mapped, even if they are locked into memory are not allowed to stay dirty forever. Does this help? https://stackoverflow.com/a/11024388 (In contrast, if you mlocked but never wrote to the pages,

Beware the trade-offs of interning affecting GC behavior. Now you can’t have a stack-allocation optimization, for example.

Just because there was research from 1970 (as there was in subsequent years) showing that big design up front is a bad idea doesn’t mean that waterfall is a straw man argument. It is probably necessary when you are shipping code with extrem
