I don't know much about the direction Windows is heading (I have not used Windows since early 2000s), but if there ever was a good time to do it, it would be now that Apple is slowly killing macOS and turning macs into giant phones. If

Not necessarily. Apache Spark for example, prior to just released 3.0.0 did not work with anything later than JDK 1.8.x. Apache Cassandra in version 3.x.y does not work with 1.11. Version 4.x will support JDK 1.11. Things are not that simpl

A lot of Java software is stuck in JDK 1.8. I wonder if anyone will port old versions like this to AArch64 and macOS 11.

Describing in minute detail what you want (knowing yourself as you put it), is software development. It also means collapsing all uncertainty and replacing it by decision (behavioral or otherwise). Developers making that decision for the cu

Exactly. Good hardware, running idiotic crippled operating system, just because someone at Apple wants file system concept to be hard.

I could always do both. I have the internal voice, that talks and thinks and analyses things all the time. But I can also willingly turn it off, pause it and think purely visually, which is much faster than narrating (I can do it in two lan

A leaf is a node that has no children. So you don't need to represent it directly. Just check both children and if they are both None, it's a leaf. Empty tree can be represented with root node that is a leaf and has no data.

Tor project is US government op, true. It's good at hiding government employees using untrusted networks from hostile third parties. It is also good for foreign whistleblowers releasing data to US government. Tor is NOT good at keeping

It's just a rendering artifact (a glitch if you will) in the simulation. Nothing to worry about.

Because Vim is like programming text. You have motion commands, you have operators that act on text motion command moves over, and you can specify how many time to repeat the operator. You have programming specific motion commands, so calle

I'm perfectly aware it's meant to be recursive, but it's also a completely pointless test. It's not tail recursive, so you are measuring function call overhead in various languages. But various languages have options to

Anyone else find dark mode stark? It was a bit shocking to see it and very jarring after almost 2 decades of looking at various shades of sliver/gray menubar and dock. I now kind of miss the ability to have only dock, menubar, notifica

Every once in a while you hit a JDK bug that you cannot work around. You post a bug to Oracle (Sun in the past) and find out it's a duplicate that has been sitting around for years unfixed. If you have paid support, a small team of eng

I think the OP is trying to argue that if TiO2 causes T2DM (by modulating production of insulin in the beta cells), it does not account for peripheral insulin resistance that is also present in T2DM. So, it could be that T2DM patients simpl

That's the first thing I disabled in iTerm. Also for all IDEs I just go to settings and make them display traditional function keys on the Touch Bar. None of it can fix the horrible keyboard though.

Interestingly enough the universe we find ourselves in already has such constraints. The speed of light is the upper limit for anything that has a mass (and is impossible to reach), and other stars are prohibitively far away for us to visit
