A simplified way (and it is simplified) is that it takes your warmed up ordinary Java JIT JVM and dumps all of the "warmed up" stuff to an archive that's super quick to start. Then you skip a lot of interpretation, etc. You n

Go's compiler is fast because it doesn't do as many advanced (read: computationally expensive) optimizations as other compilers do. No clue about Green Tea and how awesome it is :-). Lower memory pressure is certainly a difficult

Switching jobs, not profession. I am currently very underpaid.

by the-smug-one 1mo ago
The main reason that I'm in the process of switching jobs is to get more money, in case we are fucked as a profession later on. So yeah, even if I don't necessarily believe this is the future, I am certainly making sure that if it

Good article, but it's so LLM-y, wish it wasn't. Either Bill needs to stop slopping, or he needs to get an editor.

Creatine breaks when cooked, so for the most part he's not gonna get too much from eating a steak or whatever. Taking 5g/day of pure creatine to satiate your stores might be too much for this particular individual. Anyway, the par

Why? Just upgrade. Make it so that your org can deal with it.

I don't see the point, just increment it every release. Don't see what errors are prone either

Why are you being so condescending? A person wants to get into an open source project, so takes work he knows others won't finish before him, and you're talking to him like he's a noob (you have no clue how long ago this was)

I refused to connect my TV to the internet and use a Vero V for all of my watching needs. The Vero V is absolutely worse than most other experiences, but I'm happy.

Transparent windows look really cool, but do people actually use that in day to day use? I guess I've got old man eyes or something.

I'd say that Ukraine were very prepared for the invasion, though? They managed to survive for the first 2 weeks, leading to a long-term war. The Donbas war had already been going on for 8 years, and I don't think Ukrainians were u

It's quite unfortunate that traced references has to be wrapped in Gc<>, as this means that your types are bound to a GC allocator (right? Maybe I'm wrong!). It also means that trying out a GC is a pain, as you're stuc

So, I get that we charge the capacitor up, and that it leaks so we must recharge it periodically. I don't get two things: 1. How is the value read? Is it reading the leak? 2. How is recharging done? I guess the leak itself (assuming my

Why did you let an LLM write this comment?

Maybe it's useful to consider it a way to practice being in different ways? To be good at being agreeable and assertive, neurotic (someone tell me why that's ever good), and so on, would really give you an edge at life.

> Deep currents indicate that as soon as it’s done with formal condemnations, it is desirable that business will resume as usual. What deep currents are those? As a European situated close to Russia, I do not feel that this is the case.
