Simple things like data breach (or human errors) are significantly more like that the 11 '9' bullcrap.

While a nice feat (32bit on <32GB heaps) 64bit pointers allows for storing metadata (more than 3bits* ) in the pointer itself. Having the class id alongside the pointer can be quite profitable. Other than that the 32bit pointers are a cl

I always thought the advent of RISC was a side effect of the (very) low register count and how hard it is to actually make optimal use of them without manually writing Assembler. The flat memory model on i386 at least made it somewhat easie

Try and ask your girlfriend to show up without makeup on a party (or just out if she is above 30). By hiding imperfections the makeup enhances looks and the latter is quite an important factor for females' own perception.

After seeing the message I've decided to check netty.io's code and I am pleasantly surprised. It has been ages since I checked the project. They use almost all tricks in the book - CAS around selector.wake(), handling the zero ret

There are 2+1 major types of ByteBuffers: Heap- backed by byte[] (or char[], int[], etc) Direct: backed by C memory allocated via mmap (on linux). mmap can map to the RAM or a file. Memory mapped files are not an interesting case for NIO i

It's highly cited "paper" and just as wrong. Blocking I/O is implemented via poll(), NIO is epoll. Blocking IO has to copy the array at last once (on the stack for <64kb, else malloc/free). Most NIO implementatio

quicksort is never O(1) memory but O(log N). On a flip note: Java's JITs are very mature to the point one may know what exactly the generated assembly would be (and display it as well -XX:+PrintAssembly)

The present version of Collections.sort is actually a Timsort[1] for non-primitives. [1]: http://bugs.python.org/file4451/timsort.txt

Geo-location by IP is one of most horrid abomination ever created. Try a road trip in Europe, every single day google believes I speak/read/understand a different language. If that's not bad enough, living in a country where

Comments are rarely deleted (they could be) - however the reputation whore is a reason few actually leave comments instead of attempt at answers. However SO is bad for not-so-common, above advanced knowledge. Some Tags (C# for example) have

The source is "Daily Mail". Pretty much sums it all: if she believes that conspiracy and its source she could easily believe that her own lack of continuity makes perfect sense.

Technically JIT may run along with the execution, profile and later replace the code, i.e. start on interpreter, run a bit, compile. JITting is far more complex than "running before the code is needed", technically it can even deo
