These are just assumptions on your part - the synchronous/threading model doesn’t have to be that primitive, the Thread itself can take on the semantics of cancellation/timeouts just fine. While there are some ergonomic warts in j

Yes! Groovy does have quite a few under appreciated cool gems, and it’s a shame that is barely getting any attention nowadays..

The curve has flattened a lot - on mobile phones it is extremely noticeable, but I would say that apple’s M series is also the last significant jump in the laptop world (because laptops weren’t really ‘mobile’ before with such a bad battery

Yeah, the correct statement would be ‘Rust is the first mainstream language without GC, that guarantees memory safety’ (with obviously the caveat of unsafe blocks, but than you can also sun.misc.unsafe yourself into segfault in java).

Frankly, this 10x dev myth should just die. There are only at most 2x developers, and most ordinary people are just below the 1x factor.

The two statements are not contradictory, and it still hasn’t lost all its users from the twitter times, when it was a decent social media. You can easily verify my statement if you wish, look up all the instances where Elon decided to ban

Governments are elected by people, and are the best representatives of what the people want. You rather a foreign agent with questionable motives be the arbiter of truth, rather than the body that is elected more or less democratically?

That’s why regulation should apply to services like that, the same way a private company should not be able to block a highway that is critical to the functioning of a country. Twitter since elon’s criminal “leadership” has become a bot-inf

Okay, why don’t we also waste money on bullshit like proving that tylenol increases intelligence (if you measure IQ tests on people with headaches)? It is just as useless. It was known that dewormers.. deworm. There are zero new info in s

In a study, you are usually interested in the relation of two things — here, ivermectin intake and COVID morbidity. The two variables do correlate in countries where parasites are a commonly infecting people. What can we claim from such a s

Heh? I mean, how many ways could a chat app look? At one point, it’s just a list of conversations, clicking on one showing a list of messages.
256.
by kaba0 2y ago
Correlation doesn’t equal causation. It’s the typical case, there are studies showing the former, yet it absolutely does nothing for COVID, it was a “hidden” third variable all along (having parasites).

Do you mean the state of the art java AWT and/or Eclipse toolkit?

That sounds like a bug in your OS. Like, even if the app were doing something crazy, it shouldn’t eat that much memory.

Which is one of the best features. I wouldn’t mind having an option to disable it, but then you also don’t get the advantage of others’ phones finding your device.

AFAIK this current case has absolutely nothing to do with any form of chat features, it’s about telegram’s public channels that more or less work like reddit/twitter/any other news channels, except it refuses to censor content.

I mean, even if Apple knows the address of the people who bought it, it might have been re-sold since then - so it makes sense they don’t give out any info.

And then we didn’t even talk about Spain, and all the German tourists in, say, Mallorca. If anything, this is a stark difference between the EU and the US, in general — the EU is much less afraid of a nipple being shown in public, both in a

Free speech is not unrestricted speech, nor freedom from consequences. The market is also not free when it’s uncontrolled, that would just result in blatant manipulation. And hate speech is a serious crime, not sure why you believe otherwis

It might actually be using that, I’m not intimately familiar with the topic.

Another example would be the JVM’s new low-latency GC, ZGC, that does some smart addressing tricks to store some information in pointer addresses themselves, effectively tripling the actual memory usage when naively looked at through virt m

That’s true for a microwave, but is ridiculous to claim for a general computer with arbitrary app execution and web access.

Yes, I’m fairly familiar with garbage collectors and these are called tracing GCs. My point is that a big chunk of the system doesn’t use these, so you can’t just put the blame on one thing. Would one percent be responsible for a system’s b

That’s a gross misrepresentation, and far from the whole truth. (Besides, ref counting is also a garbage collection algorithm) A huge chunk of the OS runs native stuff. Add to it that android is less strict at putting apps/processes to

How is a phone different to a TV or other electronic device? Also, providers are giant assholes, one of the only good things about apple and google becoming a duopoly and their gripes getting tighter is that they can say f** you to provider
