Java build times are very fast. You are just measuring your internet speed here. (Also, gradle is faster as a build tool for incremental compilation)

You can’t just ignore the many thousands of work hours by experts that went into ios/android to make it usable on a battery-powered device. I will happily take a laptop first that manages to not die on standby in a couple of hours runn

The result being safer is not the same metric as productivity of maintenance.

Sure - it is worse than nonsense. It can do stuff like non-compiling code and hard to find bugs.

That link is about learning rust. It’s quite obviously true, that you have to actively think/maintain how long each instance lives, which is simply done by the runtime in your place in case of a managed language. In my experience, this

I guess the alternative has to be mentally stimulating for it to work. Maybe she finds it too easy or meaningless?

It is a much harder problem, but it is working just fine on even low-end mobile phones with the majority of websites.

Do you have any form of proof that layouting is a bottleneck anywhere?
789.
by kaba0 3y ago
It’s almost like 3d rendering is vertices and shading is an embarrassingly parallel problem which is quite trivial to make faster by throwing more hardware at it. General layouting/text rendering, etc are not like that, and there is no

I don’t think you can make an apples to oranges comparison here, there are too many differences. But sure, linux is mostly server-workload oriented.

Aren’t it simply more common for apps to go into a “save state and basically exit” mode, from which they are expected to recover without any fuss? Like, ios is very aggressive in “killing” background apps, and since this is the general cons

Linux has something similar to ctrl+alt+del monitoring in the form of REISUB and alia. But it is much more crude (and nowadays mostly disabled by default).

That’s not encapsulation, that’s just an ugly hack. Somewhat related, it has been shown that a language with public/private visibility modifiers is more expressive than one without (that is, it can’t be locally replaced by another ex

Fair enough, though I think a functional approach (you create a new set from the old, with one field changed), and somehow “committing” it back is fine, and no need for side effecting then (besides at the boundary). Maybe structural typing

I don't know, relational model seems to be fundamentally mathematical/side-effect free. Like, I think we should think of a `Connection` as an object, not `User`, which is just plain data.

A great, and often under-appreciated point is - as put by Guy Steele - "We find that the notion of side effect and the notion of equality (object identity) are mutually constraining; to define one is to define the other." With tha

Just because someone coined the term, doesn't mean that they get to define it. The industry absolutely doesn't use OOP in any way similar to what Alan Kay does, and the former is the de facto correct usage.

React is not a UI library itself -- the actual UI stuff is delegated to the DOM. It is more like a library on top a UI library, that manages the state->representation flow (where reactive FP is indeed a good choice).

Healing crystals seems to be a much smaller market (to the point of barely existing) than “Big Pharma”, so your analogy doesn’t really make sense.

Why exactly? Does petrol get cheaper for an old car that barely works?

Especially that a 10 years old phone was very weak in terms of hardware, we haven’t reached a more plateaus era back then. It’s much easier to update a phone in the last 5 years for 10 years, than doing the same in a 5 years earlier window

Does it really let you run custom builds when it zeroes out proprietary firmware blobs on many models, turning your fancy camera into a shitty basic one? Or what about the million proprietary blobs you would need for full functionality — wi

Promising is easy - google can’t keep maintaining successful apps of theirs, let alone a whole phone. I’ll believe it at 6 years in, maybe.

I believe it should work with any other Graal language (currently, JS, Python are the bigger ones and Sulong can run LLVM bytecode. There is also Espresso, which runs “java on top of java”, making it also eligible for these security boundar

C++, Rust, Zig all are lower level, due to having control over vectors.

“Fun” stuff: Rust also doesn’t prevent this for more complicated objects. The ‘Sync’ trait will get applied to any struct that has only ‘Sync’ constituents, but that means that such an object can be observable in inconsistent states (e.g. a
