Yeah, I mean I "bought" my Godfather DVDs two decades ago, so it's totally fine that I lose the ability to watch it now, of course. This sort of well-we-have-planned-obsolescence-built-into-our-product should be a hard red li

I think vaulting was relevant in the 90s-00s when physical movie sale revenues were relevant, but the business model of movies has changed... a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if all their back catalog are on Disney+ now or released slowl

All the credit cards have a reserved amount they can pre-allocate so that once the final bill is due, you're required to pay at most X dollars (the max that you chose at the pump). It's fraud proof. Like it or not, it'll like

I mean java native compilation is a thing. I imagine you'd get the majority of the lift via that route instead of reinventing the wheel, but it's possible there are caveats to that route for these impls. Even java native/gola

It sounded like their audiobook division was acting in anti-competitive ways to push authors into single platform exclusivity. I wonder what else they're up to.

A little bit dated (probably by a year) https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/230613/dq230... The building of dwellings has outpaced immigration so that alone is unlikely a silver bullet.

You're right that raw $ cost of a unit doesn't tell nearly enough information. The ideal measure is probably % of median income / sqf, or something like that. Even then, it's a very different story for singles looking fo

From an API perpective, you can always use reflection to cheat past the option to create virtual threads in pre-21 (without previews) java bytecode, but you need to do more to your code than just flip the switch to support virtual threads.

by adra 3y ago
Virtual threads are going to be great, but they're still limited (still starved the pool when used with 'synchronized' blocks), and they aren't the structured concurrency power houses like kotlin coroutines, but its an i

Splunk was an absolute game changer when a company I worked for bought it. I say bought because we started to pay for it before anyone actually used it for anything meaningful. The "adoption" (blaming the company that bought it no

This isn't a bug in java. Java has the idea of "effectively final" variables, and only final or effectively final values are allowed to be passed into lambdas seemingly to avoid this specific defect. Ironically, I just had a

Everything has a cost though. The one thing we lose is the ability for hotspot to change its mind and recompile code based on usage patterns I've toyed with graalvm for some uses and ended up with lost performance. Also a key note is t

If they're deemed a data processors then yes in fact they do need to care about the application of the laws. SAP has user management at least in terms of companys' own users which will likely have PII.

As lousy as these systems are, they kill a hell of a lot fewer people (for now) than drunks, so net positive for the time being.

Oh and the operational overhead of performing full trace recording of 2k/requests a sec are non-trivial. You'll start to feel the overhead of adding extra telemetry.

Whats the validity of the logs when they can be boiled down to metrics instead way more concisely (at least with olap-like storage). For traces, as mentioned elsewhere sampling is key. Some systems use % of requests, and other systems cap t

I have no idea why you think that all attributes need to be buffered in process forever. Most metrics systems simply keep key sets in ram cached for as long as they're still being emitted. Many drop unused key sets after like 10 minute

Well, you'd probably get pretty good perf with graalvm truffle, but certainly the building blocks of golang shouldn't be that problematic to implement in java given that the go language model is more straight-forward IMHO. I would

If you think about how you use os threads today, you have two main dispatcher pools, default (cpu), and IO (for IO processing). You can now swap out the discrete IO threads with a virtual thread pool instead. You can get the "infinite&

Yikes, scaling up certainly sucks, but the article is rather over the top and defeatist about their experiences. Many companies and teams don't dovetail into the pandemonium described, but doesn't mean that the general sentiment i

All kotlin collection types are essentially Java ones (at least for a JVM target), the difference is that the IDE and compiler are smart about its type inference system so that it can tell when a variable use is nullable or not. Java has co
