I think Oracle is disappointed how their ownership of Java is not as powerful as hoped though costing them a lot. The tooling and enterprise workflow probably eats a lot of manpower. Netbeans was always great for the more advanced Java plat

I built something like this as well! I wonder how you solved the data storage and indexing. Does it scale to multi-month heavy usage ? Does it deduplicate multiple visits? Cool stuff, gotta put mine somewhere. Always planned to, but never g

Yeah the engineers love the process of calculating if that wire can carry the specified current. Because it's so industry friendly. This is complete nonsense and sounds like musings of a desperate advocate. If you want to believe somet

Who says people should collectively forget what an inch is? Every other country made unit conversions. The people will use old units for some time to buy cheese at the counter and all is well.

I continue to be baffled by the arcane units in the US. This uses a measure on the completely wrong abstraction level. An accidental production process now defines a wire unit instead the end result the consumer/engineer/technicia

Apart from your cool china "it's so meritocratic!" view, I can see how this applies to ABP, since they selectively allow ads if the advertisers pay up. Never liked this scam.

Well not the first of its kind. Unclear how this one exactly works. Is it Micro HDMI over the USB-OTG or just a socket over usb and another SoC in the Flapbook? EDIT: Ah displaylink, I can see it getting choppy with older phones.

I added PoC racer support in the plugin one evening, but got bored and did not pursue it further. It's just calling racer and parsing the output. The built-in completion is a bit rudimentary at the moment.

If your device is rooted, you can use a long password for encryption and a pattern or even no lock for the lockscreen. I have set it up this way, it needed some sqlite hackery. XDA dev has appropriate infos.

He is dismissive of file-level CoW. ZFS will also create new blocks if you cp a file, only dedup will remedy that. Also APFS only seems to do file-level CoW with a special syscall.
