The only reason they do that is because they are trying to break into Steam's near monopoly market position. They are not above anti-consumer practices like exclusives. I have no doubt that if they could, they would take that 30% cut.

Are you so dense that you cannot understand that the Kotlin compiler can do gasp different things depending on different settings? It can do stuff android doesn't support if you set the bytecode target level to > 1.8 It's lik

by dtech 5y ago
Incorrect, the Kotlin compiler allows you to specify the target JVM level, it can generate JVM 1.6 bytecode (for android) up to 16. I know for a fact it uses different bytecode features if the level is >= 1.8, not sure how smart it is ab

Kotlin should be close-to-identical* in terms of bytecode it immits for straightforward code like this, it's designed to very closely match Java capabilities, among others to make sure interop is very good. * Exception is supporting th

My main gripe is using "Gen X" as "older person" and "millenial" as "young person". The youngest millenials are ~26 years old, born in 1996 according to US census definition. They were already 13 when

The point is those optimizations are not here now, and haven't been there for the last 25 years. Hand-waving them away as theoretically possible is dishonest. We're 25 years into the most popular programming language's lifeti

GraalVM is excellent in performing escape analysis on objects on the call stack, but it does not prevent the pointer overhead that a JVM array-of-heap-object-references has vs an array-of-structs that e.g. .NET supports [2]. Theoretically

You can advertise perfectly fine, just not track users to show personalized ads . These were the norm in advertising until like 2005.

I've heard more than one Java programmer dismiss macro based compile-time meta-programming as way to complicated while happily littering codebases with annotation and classpath based runtime meta-programming.

This is a pretty bad comparison, == doesn't check equality for objects in Javascript and doesn't promise to. Similar to how Java's == doesn't.

Quite interesting how - as a dutch speaker - you can hear English Germanic roots quite clearly. It almost sounds like a Dutch or German speaker is reading the "English" text phonetically without knowing pronunciation rules. Especi

Which language do you work in? I can promise you that Typescript can type things way more strictly than your language, unless it's Julia. Typescript allows you to not make typing very strict when it's not important, but also allow

Final has been in Java for a lot longer, but you're also missing the point. Immutability should be the default, or at least not a secondary citizen to the dangerous and often unnecessary mutability.

I don't think that's a fair definition. If such a CPU could be reasonably made, you could still call it assembly.

Linting is not the same as typechecking. Take a look at the default available rules [1]. For example number == NaN is valid Javascript, but 99.9% of the time an error. Or you might want to require always using === over ==. Generally, lintin

It was properly tested by the platform owners, and it was determined to be in an un-releasable state. The mistake of the platform owners was to believe CDPR when they said they will have fixed all the found problems by release time.

That's a nonsensical question, there's not enough nuclear or fossil fuel in the world to increase our energy consumption 100.000x for any significant time period. We'd need to build a dyson sphere.

If you scale this up you're also having more Area. If that hall contains all the waste from decades of energy for France, I'm sure we can also build 1 in Germany, Italy, and every US state.
