Clickbait title IMO. Essentially Java presents an abstraction and whether the underlying I/O is truly async or emulated depends on the OS. However, such a design allows them to change the underlying implementation to an OS async API at

This seems like a bit of a strange article to me. When we talk about being "slow", that is typically relative to a non-CGI technology, essentially something that keeps the code in memory ready to run. The reason CGI was "slow

I used to use Mercurial as well and greatly preferred it, but for better or worse, Git won. I started using Git several years ago and haven't looked back. No matter what people might say, I think this stuff matters for contributors and

Gog is ideal. I own several of them, and if you are patient, they run great sales throughout the year making them very cheap to obtain (and there isn't any DRM).

I am not going to say that some of these testing religions don't have a place, but mostly they miss the point. By focusing on TDD or "code coverage" the essential questions are missed. Instead of focusing on methodology inste

I just did my first install of Windows 11. Based on what I had read before (which wasn't much), I expected Windows 10 + a new UI. Maybe it was my low expectations, but I was seriously impressed. It feels like MS really put a lot of wor

Nice! One thing I have noticed is that, unlike the library crate ecosystem, my binary crates by default would be large and monolithic (I now divide into multiple library crates). This means toward the tail end of compilation not only can co

I was going to say the same thing. In what world is 100ms fast on a computer? (for something not making a network round trip)

The SX may have been slower, but it could still run all 386 software which was a huge advantage over the 286. I had a 16MHz 286 and I so badly wanted a 386SX 16Mhz so I could run 32-bit software.

The 386 was released shortly before I bought my first computer as a teen. At the time, I saw both 286 and 386 PC's on the market, but the latter with a large price premium. I wasn't sure what the difference was at the time, so I b

To be fair, if it takes this long to get it right, than I agree with the slow pace. Look at applets. We don't want that security nightmare again, so I imagine a very slow pace is necessitated.

How much does this speed up sessions over higher latency connections I wonder? I have been looking for RDP performance similar to that of Windows on Linux, but up until now it has been semi slow over WANs.

This is written by someone who has obviously written a lot of Rust code. I like its balance. It feels fair and not fanboyish like these write ups often do.

As an outsider to the JS world, can someone give me the quick pros and cons between yarn and npm? Can you switch back and forth in the same project? Is the end result of your package structure the same?

Interesting. Does that include the UI styling only or also the custom components? Update: look at rustdoc and I'm not seeing components, or at least not many

I like the styling of the app. It is quite different than default egui styling. If someone is reading that is familiar with the source can you point me to the parts most responsible for the look? (custom components, styling code, etc.) It w

While I'm not religious, it is admirable to me when someone takes a stance on something they believe in at a cost to their own personal pocket book.

This is not even remotely surprising to me. I've always been a bit skeptical of "the sun is evil" (and got even more skeptical when I was told I should wear sunblock inside!) and ensure I get 20 minutes full body exposure dai

It is titled "Why I am stepping down" and then, to the best I can tell, only gives this as a reason: "But the time is right for me to take on different roles". In short, corporate-speak for "I'm not going to te

I think this is an argument for correct program architecture/design, not one for language. I suspect one could do the same thing in any memory unsafe language. Granted, Java might make this somewhat easier by not having the concept of

How is it memory safe if they are using off heap memory with malloc/free? I think it would only qualify as memory safe if they were using the GC which they purposefully avoid. I will agree on the other points, however, but I wonder how
