You were unlucky, the hg server went down during the weekend http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2018-October/... This doesn't happen often. It's definitely not a research project. There

Just use OpenJDK.

I think generics in Java works pretty well. Should it have been there from the beginning. Yes, but it would have delayed the release of JDK 1.0. People often complain about type erasure, but I have seen very few examples of everyday program

Google's handling of their source code makes me wanna work there. I don't like distributed version control systems with hundreds of repositories spread out. It makes management more complicated. I understand this is a minority vie

And more is coming: Fibers, pattern matching, continuations, value types, low latency garbage collector …

It may be worth mentioning that project Loom [1][2] aims to add continuations and lightweight threading to Java. It is lead by Ron Pressler, the author of the Quasar library mentioned in the paper. Also, JDK 11 (Hotspot) comes with a new co

I believe there is a JEP to fix that, but it doesn't say if it will make JDK 11. http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/8200758

You need ONE wallet and then you can use it for all sites. It's much, much easier. Setting up the wallet doesn't need to be more complicated than setting up a card with Apple Pay. You don't need to understand the underlying t

Java has changed a lot over the years, for example generics, lambdas, default methods, type inference, and new things are in the pipeline, for example value types, data classes, and pattern matching. The JDK libraries has also grown. You co

Someone always have to pay, one way or the other. With microtransactions you only pay for what you want to consume and you don't need 10+ different subscriptions. That is the benefit. If you only want to spend 2 dollar a month, that&#x

What we need is a cryptocurrency capable of handling microtransactions. Then we need web browser support (a standard) for a cryptocurrency wallet. When you visit a web page, you can pay for the content by clicking Yes in a dialog box. When

"Let’s try an another strategy then: bump as little as we can. This strategy worked much better." Not sure this is a better strategy - it accumulates technical debt. I think you should try to update as much as possible and stay ah

I didn't understand how pop and push worked. I thought each register, i.e. BC or DE, had its own stack. I couldn't understand why some programs crashed. Very frustrating when you had to reload everything from tape again, and again

What does the Z stand for? Zettabytes? If GC pause times do not increase with the heap- or live-set size, it could handle such large heaps.

by haglin 9y ago
JDK 9 also comes with compact strings which can reduce the heap with 5-15%[1] and with -XX:+UseStringDeduplication, AppCDS and AOT the memory footprint can be reduced even more. [1] https://www.infoq.com/news/2016/
