Personally I would choose OS/2 over Win3.1 anytime. OS/2 was more "Mac like", for example, properties and preferences dialogs did not have the Apply/Cancel buttons, you had a Default button to reset to factory setti

OnlyOffice has decent performance and is pure canvas. However, they have (or had) issues with respect to accessibility, as screen readers don't read canvas.

Not as good as the project from the OP: I tried to connect two cities in Italy, Padova and Riva del Garda (because I know the cycle roads you could use to travel from one to the other) and this project perfectly nailed it, while cycling Bro

Love your project! Maybe you already considered, but there are a number of collection libraries out there that are optimized for holding Java primitives and/or for very large sets of data, which could help you save significant memory.

I see your point. I already had the NAS in place so it was a nobrainer for me, but if you just want to backup to computer you can still run a light webdav server on your computer. For example, I am using dufs [0], which is very easy to depl

I am using an app for this. It's called WebDavNav+ and there is a free version WebDavNav for evaluation. You can create sync configurations and switch on auto sync. I have an Odroid HC4 with Open Media Vault and docker which is my pers

In Epicureanism ataraxia is paired with ἀπονία (aponia). Aponia is for the body what ataraxia is for the mind. You can find more details in the Wikipedia page about Epicureanism [1]. True pleasure comes from the absence of spiritual trouble

I have no direct experience, but apparently this is an historical problem. Way before the pandemic a friend of mine relocated to USA (from Italy) and started working for AWS as a product manager. She did not last much and eventually jumped

Based on documentation, ArcaNoae comes with support for large hard drives, newer video chips, USB etc etc.. I guess it should run on most hypervisor(s) or virtualization systems, provided you use a humble hardware configuration (e.g. no nee

I think they are not really interested in individual users, they aim at corporations having legacy applications that run on OS/2 only, so the goal is to make the system virtualization friendly and runnable on more recent hardware. That

My guess: as I wrote in another comment, Elasticsearch had significant evolution in the area of "search engine", while OpenSearch trajectory (to use the wording of the press release) has been in the direction of APM/monitor

My understanding (after talking to several market analysts) is that OpenSearch is focused on APM/monitoring/log-aggregation, while Elasticsearch has an edge on pure search engine functionality and now AI. That's because the l

When a real thread is allocated from a virtual thread to another, the JVM needs to save into the heap the stack of the first virtual thread and restore from the heap the stack of the second virtual thread, see slide 13 of [1]. This is in fa

The JVM will need to do context switching when reallocating the real thread that is running a blocked virtual thread to the next available virtual thread. It won't be CPU context switching, but context switching happens at the JVM leve

by giamma 2y ago
You will still have to worry, too many virtual threads will imply too much context switching. However, virtual threads will be always interruptable on I/O, as they are not mapped to actual o.s. threads, but rather simulated by the JVM

You are right but there is no legally defined threshold so it's subjective. As a matter of fact, the Eclipse Foundation requires every contributor to declare that every piece of code is their own original creation and is not a copy&#x2

You should give Theia Ide [1] a try. It's plugin-compatible with VSCode, same user experience. It's slower to start and takes more memory but on my 3 y.o. intel Mac it is definitely snappier than VScode. [1] https://the
