SK would be totally fine with that though because that means there would eventually be recovery!

The article reads like they actually have a fault-tolerant system to store their data. This is probably a data dump for whatever files they are working with that might have started out as a cobbled-together prototype that just picked up m

I see a high risk of idioms getting butchered. It's usually a good idea to translate into English and fix that up first. And unless a native-language editor revises it, there might be sentence structures that feel unnatural in the targ

Most democratic societies dilute and aggregate voting power in ways that misrepresent voter intention and thus make it unable to reject authoritarian tendencies. In most countries, people don't vote for issues or policies, but for part

Such apps can be forbidden by law, and then this would be quite unambiguous. This is criticizing a company bending over backwards to what the government wants. Not really surprising, since none of these companies supports free speech for th

You need these settings when you drive your application hard into circumstances where manual memory allocation arguably starts making sense again. Like humongous heaps, lots of big, unwieldy objects, or tight latency (or tail latency) requi

I am surprised that they didn't already do a lot of optimizations informed by escape analysis, even though they have had value types from the beginning. Hotspot is currently hampered by only having primitive and reference types, which

Those transactions simply won't be accepted. Sucks for the seller, but how to deal with that mess is an issue that has to be solved on an upper layer by ToS or laws.

Re paying on the plane: yes, that's how credit cards work. The question of the solvency of the customer becomes the problem of the payment processor.

In most languages, each block indeed is a separate scope. And it avoids foot guns about accidentally using variables that already serve another purpose. I guess it's one of the things that are typical for dynamic languages.

I heard people at a bank claim that COBOL code is basically natural language and thus self-documenting. I almost laughed out at that.

We have discovered way more exotic states of matter though. And for a preindustrial society there are only three phenomena that involve plasma: the sun, the aurora borealis, and lightning.

This could open up ways to run Linux as a guest kernel of proper microkernel operating systems to aid with hardware compatibility.

The old kernel boots the new kernel, possibly in a "passive" mode, performs a few sanity checks of the new instance, hands over control, and finally shuts itself down.

That code was never compatible with standard Java to begin with, therefore nobody should have been surprised. It would have never run on a JVM that didn't bother to implement the same internal APIs. Crucially, if the OpenJDK project ha

The affected APIs were from packages where is is easy to tell from the name that they were not part of the standard. These can be very useful in certain circumstances, but it should have always been clear that there is a risk they could one

Just use OpenJDK (only downside is you have to upgrade every half year) or a distribution of another vendor (most people use Eclipse, or Red Hat if they already are Red Hats customers). It's really not as difficult as it is made out to

Project Valhalla is too big to land in just one release. Even if all changes to surface language and the JVM land, it's just the beginning for adding new optimizations.

It's not that new though. It will probably only be frozen once value types arrive.

The move from javax to jakarta was not really connected to the changes in the language. It is very much recommended to not do these upgrades simultaneously.
