10+ years in the making, at this year's Devoxx Brian Goetz said that they are almost ready with the design of Project Valhalla and can start JEP-ing it in future JDK releases. No timeline yet, so we probably will not see it until the n

It took me some time to get why this is faster than simply poking in a for-next loop - nice hack (for those who don't know I can recommend one of Ben Eater's latest BASIC hacking videos)! But why add only 1 character each time, wh

You cannot represent an arbitrary or fixed precision decimal number in a floating point format. Or to put it in another way: "Most decimal fractions cannot be represented exactly as binary fractions." - from the Python tutorial Th

Blinking / flashing bike lights were kind of OK when they were in the 10-20 lumen range. But nowadays even the cheap ones are on the order of several hundred lumens, which is a completely different game. It is possible to buy a 1000 lu

I understand all those against HS2 due to various reasons (costs, environment etc), but what is the alternative? If the current tracks are at capacity there is no easy solution. If they stop the project now, surely, that's all the mone

+1 Simply typing `ls -la` + Enter in the terminal window was a significant challenge, even if I typed slowly. And then I had to press Enter about 5 times until it registered it.

The starting price of 60K is still just a promise at this point. What you can actually buy costs 100K.

In the case of the Cybertruck, it was never a question whether it is even possible to do such a thing, because they had all the technology, the only question was if they were stupid enough to build it. Just as in the case of the "Hyper

There is no Atlassian salary data for the UK on levels.fyi. I think you are just quoting American salaries. Deliveroo L6 is 135k average, but I think it is more realistic to look at L5, which is just around 105k. Also, 600 a day as a contra

My company laptop has sleep _disabled_, and all the caches, cookies, browsing history etc. are cleared when I log off or shut down. I guess this is due to security reasons. No updates while "sleeping" in my case.

Why is S3 "legacy"? Just because Microsoft says so? When it is working, S3 sleep covers my needs perfectly. And it is not about email updates. I don't want my laptop to do anything while in sleep. It's that simple.
