I don't see an aarch64 or arm linux distribution for VSCode. https://code.visualstudio.com/Download Java works now. VS Code doesn't. Neither does Atom. Or any other Electron app. ARM is a pretty popular arch these

I have aarch64 and 4GB of memory. Electron apps are not kind to either. http://roryok.com/blog/2017/08/electron-memory-usage-compare... Netbeans nightly and JDK9 is quite nice on this platform.

>I deleted core jars from the distribution. It freezes and crashes all the time. Wow, Eclipse sucks. Thanks dude. I just sprayed coffee all over my keyboard. The laugh was worth it though.

Thanks for that explanation. It seemed like a real abuse of Troy's good will. I still hope they plan to migrate to their own hosted database quickly and not overstay their welcome.

To the author, I actually used RustDT for a while and liked it. I gave up on it when I found it was supported by only one person. I predicted that you would lose interest and move on to something else, and my workflow would have then depend

Haven't used SourceTree. That may be true, but I prefer having all my tools in one place, and eGit is quite good. Besides, eGit has Eclipse Mylyn integration, which is another killer feature Idea doesn't have.

Eclipse git support is superior as well as the pom editor.

"Clicking the Check Password button will call out to Troy’s service and let you know if your password exists in his database." Wow, what a bunch of jerks. They didn't download the torrent and host the password database themse

You're still missing the point. FF is free. Where is the revenue coming from? I think I found my answer on your page though, https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/11/14/firefox-features-go... Mozilla i

Are you? 2014 is the year they signed a big deal with Yahoo. Of course they did well that year.

I wonder who's funding Mozilla in this proxy fight? They seem to be struggling just to stay alive with their core product, Firefox. I can't see how they can justify fighting expensive legal battles on a whim to shareholders.

Google is the same as NSA, but exists as a dance around 4th amendment. Google can do the sort of spying the US government can't constitutionally do, then hand that over to the government, constitutionally, under gag order if necessary.

Oh, I totally agree with you there. It's just I consider Google a government actor too.

Well, they do have the fastest supercomputer in the world currently and it's made with homegrown chips. No Intel ME backdoors there. Smaller chinese companies could, for a little more money, get similar performance buying 8x V100 machi

Lesson learned: Don't mess with the copyright mafia. They won America with DMCA. They're even beating computer nerds in Sweden. The only win we've had lately is Trump killing the TPP. Thank goodness for that man.

I wonder if Chinese companies will use (or be allowed to use) TPUs. It seems like a pretty obvious way to have the NSA scoop up any Chinese AI advancements China may want to keep secret.

I've recently discovered Netbeans and I like it. It's currently the only Java IDE I can get running on aarch64. But I know what you're saying. The contributors that are left sound rather desperate for help.

That has a lot to do with the license. It should be more copyleft. Permissive licenses attract leeches who do nothing but complain to overworked contributors. "Over the years, I've become convinced that the BSD license is great fo

Is there a map of locations available? I would immigrate for this. I would like to look up homes for sale in the available areas.

I'm pretty sure Mononokay picked Norway specifically to derail discussion with a Breivik/gun control flame war. It only stated an opposite position and then changed the subject. Seems like a bot.

I'm using an aarch64 Chromebook with the A72 cores disabled. The low power A53 quad core is invulnerable, but I'm still disappointed in the lack of response by Google [1] on this issue with all currently shipping 64-bit ARM Chrome

You are wrong. See [2] above. Variant 3a is meltdown. A proof of concept is here, https://github.com/lgeek/spec_poc_arm I've tried it personally. It is vulnerable.

I'm disappointed that Intel is getting all the attention here. ARM64 chips like A72 have meltdown/spectre issues too. Chips like the ones the current lineup of ARM Chromebooks. Nobody is backporting Meltdown fixes to kernel before

Poor animals don't fare as well in nature either. Monkeys who have a fig tree will do better than the monkeys who are forced to scavenge. They will defend their tree, because they recognize the value of the resource. They will likely d
