They may have been the gold standard, but not anymore since the GTA remaster release last year... that was so bad they had to apologise for releasing it.

You had a 3d monitor for gaming. You need a high refresh rate for 3d with shutterglasses since you only get half or it for each eye. Office work benefitted in the CRT time when <85Hz would cause perceptible flickering giving you a headac

True, but most of the time you don't need a full Java SE stack. Android still has only a Java subset and that hasn't stopped people from writing apps for it.

You don't need a JVM to run Java code in the browser since there's a VM already. There's TeaVM which compiles Java bytecode to WASM.

Most monitors don't support more than 60Hz, so 120Hz is still is bit iffy sometimes. Apple can't help some monitor vendors take their time to get their stuff together. None of the 64 bits versions of Windows run 16 bits code. And

Trustworthy software is badly needed. Maybe you can disconnect the mic & camera, but since most modern audio chips are programmable it's possible to 'listen' to the speakers (think about it: a speaker is sort of a microph

At least there's only 1 browser to fix on iOS. Where's the value of everyone switching to Google Chrome like I see with most Mac users? (except for Google and people who need support for some obscure CSS option immediately)

IMO any stateful server-side framework is in trouble nowadays since scaling them involves passing this state around which is a headache compared to current REST/GraphQL backend + Javascript framework stacks. Oracle seems to keep peddli

Craft breweries don't help, but home brewing does. Craft breweries are what happens when home brewing is successful. Thought you meant 4 breweries from Norway... seemed a bit of a low estimate ;)

Seems more a case of dutch/english spelling mixup of the word 'saint' (sint=saint). The Sint Sixtus abbey is located in the town of Westvleteren. There are a few 'Westvleteren' beers, the most famous is the Westvlet

You're joking about 'forcing' right? There are so many decisions in modern operating systems that are not easy to change. Are you mad at Linux for 'forcing' you into 'rwx' filesystem security? Or 'for

Found another Norwegian brewery and just commented on broken unicode support... I think 'at least four' is a bit underwhelming considering the craft beer explosion that has been going on the last decade. Seems like everyone with a

The site or database seems to have broken unicode support: my favorite Norwegian brewery "Nøgne ø" is listed as "NÃ¸gne Ã˜" :(

It's not about taking the money. It's about taking your privacy and selling it. When more ways of processing and selling personal data become illegal there's no point for Facebook to continue doing business in the EU unless t

It depends on what you're trying to do. Front-end Java (applets/webstart) is dead. But on the server, or even some embedded devices, Java is working fine. I'd like to ask 'why not' - Java is supported, fast enough f

Then don't run Wayland or Gnome and see how far you get without going insane. You seem to be forgetting that systems have become a lot more complex than 20 years ago and most people prefer for things to 'just work' instead of

You mean you're actually seeing 90% GC overhead and are not looking to improve on that? (like by tuning the GC or changing your implementation). GC impact on normal behaving applications should be less than a few percent, so you'r

The only thing your benchmark proves is your Java could was not as optimized as well as your Rust code. Java has overhead, but certainly not two orders of magnitude.

I divide technical books in two categories: - Those explaining a programming language, framework or application with a specific version. These books clearly have a lifespan related to the thing they are explaining and will often end up in s

This has never been about users having control over their own devices (that ship sailed since proprietary software became a thing). This is about big corps fighting about money trying to influence public opinion and legislation.

Forever seems like a stretch. When Switch is succeeded, how long before Nintendo shuts the Switch shop down? You can't legally move downloaded games between consoles.
