Writing a NES emulator is a fun programming challenge. Start here: https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/NES_reference_guide and maybe read this first to understand where to begin with emulating an old CPU such as the 6502 http

Hmm, well the CPU in the M1 is ARM64 which is already open. But the M1 is a system on a chip that includes many proprietary components besides the CPU, such as GPU. So it's not apples to apples with 90's x86, which was a CPU only,

What a joke. None of the drivers on x86 were open source, and there were literally thousands of devices that needed reverse engineering. The M1 instruction set is ARM which is already supported by Linux.

With that attitude, Linux and FreeBSD would never have started and would not exist today. You're advocating the total opposite mindset of being a "true techie". It has all been developed on proprietary hardware from the begin

I'm saying your comments basically boiled down to that. You are unhappy that developers might prefer a tool that doesn't officially support newer features of a language, even though it doesn't really prevent them developing w

So you're saying that you are unhappy that Jetbrains doesn't officially support JDK21 yet? Cool story bro. It's a tool preference. Same deal with any other language. Nothing is preventing your developers writing code for JDK2

It removes the need to write async code in many cases. It is a more straightforward and efficient way to accomplish what we have already been doing for years on the JVM. You don't need to switch frameworks https://spring.io&

The difference now is that it's implemented in the JVM instead of a library / framework. It is easier, simpler, and probably more efficient. You can get higher throughput from existing code with minor refactoring. Thread threa

Exactly. That's the point. It is beneficial only when you have a huge number of requests relative to the number of platform threads. The idea is that you can map a million of these virtual threads on to a small number of platform threa

No it is straightforward to setup a Maven project manually and use Vim if that's your preference.

That entire section is running on a virtual thread, which is scheduled on a platform (OS) thread. While it blocks for each callRemote invocation the platform thread is free to process other virtual threads. https://docs.oracle.co

Yep. "Arbitrary" as in it can represent any function you want on the natural numbers (0 to infinity).

Pedantic nerd nitpick: it gives you concurrency but not parallelism. (Concurrent threads can be time sliced on one core)

In mathematics, a function is a mapping from input values to output values. A vector is a mapping from a set of integers to a value at the specified index, therefore it is a function. e.g. float vector[4]{1.0, 5.0, 3.0, 2.5}; vector[0] == 1
