Reddit's org is broken. Free unofficial apps maintained by random devs in their spare time are better than the official one

I believe the UI is being managed to death. I noticed the same with Slack recently. The old UI was probably built by engineers for performance and ease of use. The new one is pretty, does all the stuff marketing wants, has loads of features

Then downvote and move on. Nobody is forcing you to read replies buried at the bottom of the thread going off on tangents. Fuscia and Java are both Android and tech related, don't see the problem. And the previous comment about Fuscia

So happy to see Java have broad support from various vendors. I've always been a fan despite it's shortcomings. I'm wary of using "captive" corporate languages like Go, C#, Kotlin. And there aren't any other op

Does anyone know how it compares to Codec2? Opus is great down to ~12kbps but Codec2 is the real contender down at the bottom. And I bet it uses way less CPU than Lyra

Escaping Java doesn't make sense to me now that the Oracle stuff is resolved. Java is a great choice for phone apps. Huge developer base with good productivity. And it's quite fast for a high level language. And the backwards comp

Newer versions of Java are better, but Android is stuck on a hacky version of Java 7 from a decade ago. Google is planning to fix this eventually. Android's API is also atrocious.

Multi threading sanely requires Arc, and reference counting is a crappy form of GC. If you have enough threads passing stuff around and can deal with the ~50% performance loss between Java and Rust, it's much easier to use a language w

No way. Rust is great, trust me. I'm not even going to say why because it would be a huge rant. It improves on C++ in virtually every way. Every feature you have in C++, Rust does it better. Every feature you wish C++ had, Rust has it.

Java is a better fit for high level code, and you can already use Rust where performance matters. I've put a lot of time into learning Rust and I still reach for Java for high level stuff. GC is just wonderful for developer productivit

I hear this all the time but in most of our apps average query time is less than 5ms in postgres. And it scales with threads, so it's more like 30k queries per second. We have a single Postgres instance and serve thousands of requests

In Java at least, the massive Hibernate ORM is only about twice as slow as raw SQL. Which is still orders of magnitude faster than Django. The lack of performance is far deeper than ORM usage.

We have a Rails app that struggles at 50 req/sec. It has an embedded Angular app whose back end easy handles 10,000 . One of the reasons were trying to migrate is that Rails servers cost us almost an engineer salary, where our other ba

One of my favorite bike shedding topics. My mind is blown that anyone writes software for stacks that max out at few hundred requests per second. Everything I've seen comparing "high level" languages says programmers work aro

AZ vaccine is made with a genetically engineered Chimpanzee virus, ChAdOx1 . It makes me uneasy. Zoonotic viruses tend to be more dangerous the closer related the species. There's plenty of human viruses that seem harmless like flu exc

Not easy. You can measure with your phone camera for visual delay but it's still suspect. I measured my delay using a USB keyboard which are generally assumed to have zero delay but that's not great. I base most of my delay number

I think the endgame is machine learning based blocking and Apple/Mozilla disabling API's used for fingerprinting. I think Google pre-emptively locked down Chrome API to prevent ML based blocking from working. This would explain th

It depends on the game. I play competitive shooters which I've gotten worse at as I age... PC upgrades have given me 50ms reaction time advantage. Nearly what I lost since my early 20s. Feels nice to be "good" at games again

The biggest contributors are WFH demand, more PC gaming, but especially crypto mining and release of new consoles. Mining and the new consoles take tons of silicon. And everybody is competing for the same fabs. Supply chain problems and tar
