True, but arguably they are making spying harder with each ios release. If profiling and ads were their bread and butter, they would act differently.

ESP32 is of course so much more powerful than ZX was. I meant that programming of ESP is much different to usual daily job enterprise stuff.

It's a matter of perspective. When one witnessed it from times of Pong until now, it is maybe much easier to appreciate the whole journey. I still find myself trying to save bandwidth on my internet connection that was very scarce reso

This is true. What I see in my country is that initial product is maybe expensive, but still somehow acceptable. Problem is that, for some reason unknown to me, government does not gain rights to modify implemented solution and can't b

This is why I wonder about the reasoning in the article. You have platforms that are NOT walled gardens, where you CAN write your own great file manager and those also have same ballpark hardware, yet nobody rushed to write this groundbreak

Fiat Ducato pretty much owns european recreational vehicle market. Huge majority of RVs is based on this platform.

Just have a look on outbreak of Electron apps. People choose to use language they know and with which they can deliver value effectively instead of C or assembler.

But this, of course, applies to every project in any language and is in no way limited to Java or OOP. It is always balance between delivering functionality now with some solution or later MAYBE better optimized. Then in round two, optimize

It depends on Java version that you use. Recent GC returns unused memory back to OS [1] and class data sharing can speed up startup time of your microservices and save memory as shared classes are loaded only once for all JVMs [2] [1] http

In late 90s I ran our JUG website with homegrown CMS written in Java with servlets on slackware linux server running also MySQL and it had only 16MB of physical memory for everything. We are _very_ spoiled nowadays and tuning is simply not

I agree, this would make much more sense in areas with high labor costs, something like sea side resorts where you can produce many similar buildings with high building density.

My house is also built from concrete blocks, because they have quite good parameters when combined with good thermal insulation. Concrete walls were something like 3% of price of the house and they were done in a week, that is again somethi

One interesting thing for you may be Class-Data Sharing feature that keeps already parsed class data across restarts and can re-use it with other JVM instances running same code. It also allows JVM to share these data in memory with other J

Using StringBuffer may be premature optimization. Java compiler will replace simple String concatenation with StringBuffer automatically [1] and you do not need to polute your code with StringBuffer unless you really find that to be perform

I worked in Finland in 2001-2002 in what we would call now startup and even lead managers or scientists in company were not in the office in July-August. They simply worked more during winter and spent as much of Finnish summer outside as p

How would that work? If they would get any hash that is not bound to them in any verifiable way, how does that prove to THEM that they are verifying their own vote?

Simplicity is definitely a virtue. When I maintain large codebase of 10+ year project, it is easy to spot where someone tried to be very clever, and it is rarely benefit for codebase maintainability and extendability in the long term. Thing

I see your point, but this would make more sense for comparison of highway construction or other projects that require lot of people with average salary and common resources. High tech is, I believe, very competitive and you do not manh nee

Maybe consider that you are speaking about 67 millon per launch in 1969 dollar, which, according to quick google search is equivalent of 470 million in today's USD.

Yes, but you can turn it around and tell that people that use cars mostly in cities would have little to no incentive to be more efficient, because this externalizes harm to areas far away from them.

And, of course, even G1 does not fill all memory before it starts collecting. Even generational GCs before G1 divide memory into smaller areas and try to collect garbage quickly to get rid of short lived objects, so we're speaking abou

I'm not sure what your real world experience with Java is, but GC is actually quite good and in server side Java I had no issues for years. G1 evolves and I had no issues with it. In Java 12 there is ZGC that have similar goals as Shen

Yes, but this is the point - they stick to ugly looking touchscreens that are guaranteed to work. They could take screens from some tablet for few bucks, but they know that when they sell 100000 of cars and 20% would fail within two years i

But most of the value of value types would be in your own code to remove boilerplate code. From outside it will for sure be just another class so libraries and frameworks do not need to know abuot your value types.

If you do business with VAT registered company from different country, you do not pay VAT upfront with purchase, but you report it at the end of quarter (monthly if you are big enough). You will actually never pay this VAT if you are VAT re

This sounds very unlikely. So SUN Microsystems claimed that you should run service for them because of GPL that had classpath exception? Even without that exception that is not how GPL works.

Less efficient diesel regarding CO2 emisions? One of the reasons diesel engines were pushed in EU was due to better CO2 emmisions by diesel engines compared to petrol engines.
