The only Java deskop app I've used that doesn't feel bloated is Charles. It _still_ has that Swing "almost looks like OSX" look to it but otherwise, it's completely usable. I use IntelliJ nearly every day, and while

This is a fantastic idea! I love listening to music that samples my favorite tunes.

I'd agree that global declaration is far more egregious. A sibling comment recommends a linter, and I'd probably agree. It's sad that it was ever allowed as one that is copying and pasting code to another location can easily

Do you find yourself accidentally doing that often? A few of the things from the "Wat" video fall into that category. "Things no one would have ever thought to try, yet a dynamic language will fully allow". If you want t

Not the OP but, I use puppeteer (and headless Chromium) as a PDF rendering service. I'd love to be able to try the same thing with a headless Gecko/Slimer.js type thing. My current build process is a major pain to keep updated (b

From a purely philosophical standpoint, Mozilla has always been the browser of "choice". Its humble beginnings never included "world domination"... and Firefox was an extraordinarily bold attempt to unseat IE. Chrome did

I tried writing Kotlin in Vim, I really did. Java was somewhat manageable, but Kotlin was absolutely impossible. The biggest thing those bloated Java-based IDEs offer is deep introspection into the language. You use a reference, the IDE can

No type system means an Erlang developer has to keep a lot of things straight in their head. It's not unique to Erlang.

Atom has one of the best Vim modes I've ever seen. I used it for about 2 years and it was totally a delight.

Oddly I have an installation of Emacs on my current ArchLinux box that doesn't shut down with `C-xC-c`.... I've had to resort to `C-z, ps ax | grep emacs` to kill the process. I haven't cared enough to fix it.

The pain with Google is that they go out of their way to ensure there's no way you can talk to a human with any decision making power.

YES! TurboLinux from Utah! I loved that one. And I still have my Storm Linux CD in the garage. Nice packaging. (Florescent green I think) Yup, went and dug it out of the garage: https://ibb.co/PM4GTkt

Wow, I remember the days of the late 90s early 2000s checking out every distro I could get my hands on. I ordered so many from Cheapbytes and Linux Central. (I feel like there may have been a Linux Mall in there somewhere too). I just could

Agreed... I almost looked it up before I hit "reply". I didn't start seeing the container native/GraalVM stuff in Micronaut's tweets until more recently, but that doesn't mean anything. Good info to know. Thank

I wouldn't call Elixir/Phoenix a "top performer" in the league of Java/Vert.x or Rust/Actix (see TechEmpower benchmarks) but it does VERY well at chugging along and not falling to pieces. Its dev experience is

it's interpreted on first run. I'm pretty sure most JS engines, JSCore, SpiderMonkey, and V8 all JIT that code. And while JS was built for browsers, ever since the beginning, there's been server-side implementations. Most cur

I keep a close eye on quarkus.io. I love what they're doing for the Java ecosystem. It's interesting to see other frameworks follow suit (Micronaut, etc)

The IDE wrote code and kinda hid it from you in a partial class. And every once in awhile, one would have to get in there and muck around with the generated code. This had the potential to break things pretty badly.

A couple of things here. WASM isn't necessarily more performant than vanilla JS. For the web, it'll open the door to the JS engine as a compile target, and that's great.... but it's still not super fast. Secondly, in the

Using Linux, I can't watch youtube or use Google Hangouts for too long before the fans start going. Google refuses to add GPU support for Linux/Chrome. It's annoying.

I love everything except the docs. The docs rarely show practical usage. Most functions are just type definitions. This is a MAJOR blocker to anyone that might not have a mathematical background. I find this issue quite a bit with the FP wo

I feel this is a very important point. Legality appears to have little effect on usage. All we really do is apply another label to a user/abuser; that of a "criminal".

While I agree that library number is an okay barometer of community health. I'd also look at age of packages and latest commits to gauge a trajectory. Furthermore, if I found the packages I needed to accomplish most tasks (auth, task s

Oh man, those things are beasts! I had some 2550s, one 2650, and some 2850s. Somewhere around 2G of memory if I recall (this was 2002 - 2008)

If all goes according to plan, we plan to use your library in an update to our onboarding process. You've even helped me in your GitHub issues, so you are very appreciated!

I've wondered about this. For the past 10 years, I've worked for various companies that have purchased licenses for me. I was certain there were still torrents out there, even though the actual programs are "rentables".
