I think you should spend the 5 minutes it takes to look at the winget-pkg repo to see how it works. There's lots of great documentation. All updates are manual, and are done via pull requests. Check everything in-queue: https:/

First request latency also can really suck in Java before hotpathed code gets through the C2 compiler. You can warm up hotpaths by running that code during startup, but it's really annoying having to do that. Using C++, Go, or Rust g

Not the GP, but for really large code bases, Go is missing a few features that I've noticed: 1) No immutable types. My work team is a huge user of immutable data stuctures in Java to make sure data passed around to other teams isn&#x2

Prepaid credit cards tend to be a very common fraud vector (very similar to gift card scams). For chargebacks, the merchant has to pay at least a $15 fee on every chargeback, regardless of the outcome of the result. It's why many merch
