none of my laptops/desktop/gaming rigs or servers feature swap. Swapping along with a managed language and garbage collection is next to indistinguishable from a application crash.

The correct solution is not having either. Getter/setters are effectively an anti pattern as they support needless mutability but worse they add nothing of value. As a general rule most fields should be initialized in the c-tor, and th

Compressing neon gas won't do much, aside storing energy as compressed fluid. My point was the traditional fuels (incl. the edible ones) use more material/weight than their own. So it is very likely they'll be more efficient.

Fuel(gasoline, carbohydrates, fats, etc. but not rocket one) does use oxygen from the atmosphere.Batteries are self contained (like rocket fuel). So the density of chemical reactions is by definition higher. Side note: energy density should

Trying to force a research/speculation on a mistake hardly deserves the most extraordinary answer. A better approach: the ball, likely, can be traced to the company producing it. The toys for very young kids tend to be regulated, hence

Bounds checks are not 'free' but predicted ones are cheap. There are way to convince the JIT to remove them - in cases it can prove the index doesn't exceed the byte array, so explicit checks with the length of the array may
