Alright, farewell everyone. I'm off to Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/patric…

@VictoriaLonita @backendoc He has a cassette tape that he plays the fastest possible speed so his brain catches the delay when going fast.

crazy to think this came out 10 years ago yet the dceu hasn’t put out any flash scene nearly as good as this

@jeremyphoward I went for the vibe, and stayed for the openness. AT protocol, portable conversations, pluggable algorithms, etc.

Wow! What on earth happened here? (I don't mean "why did so many people move to a different social network," but "why did they all go to 🦋")

@jerrinot I use IntelliJ on Windows and Mac. I've just gotten used to switching between them. It took ~6 months and I still mess it up from time to time. It helped that I bought a Logitech keyboard that supports both... but it didn't help as much as I thought.

Good: I've bought a new desktop, being back on Linux feels great, also the computer is faaaast! Bad: I ocassionally still use Macbook and different shortcuts in MacOS/Gnome and Intelij drive me crazy! Will I get used to it? Or should I bite the bullet and remap all shortcuts?😬

@burkov @StackOverflow But they did put together a useful resource we all used, and then OpenAI scraped the content. Without SO, Chat GPT wouldn't be nearly so helpful.

No website decline leaves me feeling as satisfied as @StackOverflow. The people in this place detest you so much, they don't even try to hide it. They will reject your questions, prevent you from answering, and openly mock you in the comments. The toxicity level of these people surpasses any reasonable standard. Burn this place to the ground.

@astralmatrix @BenjDicken Depends what you want to test.

@BenjDicken in the javascript you should declare the for loop variable j outside the nested loop so it happens once. this will greatly reduce the execution time (per console tests). using "let" function scopes the declaration to inside the nested loop. try:

1 billion loop iterations. 4 languages. I wrote the same code in js, python, go, and c. Timed executions on a digital ocean dedicated cpu vm, and here are the visualized results. Not all programming languages are created equal!

@Super70sSports Underrated...

What’s the best one-liner in movie history?

@GravitasMSN @damienmoule Have you never seen a street other than while sitting in your car?

@damienmoule Northbound. Cyclist gets out of bed at 9 to take photo.

University this morning, 9:30. I continue to post these because it's trivially to find. It happens every time I go to work. The point I want people to take away is the "traffic" you feel on University is actually just sitting at stop lights. The bike lanes don't change that.

Christ, every time I come back here after spending some time on Bluesky, I find it shockingly terrible. It's like I've just got used to the smell of sewer gas here, but when I leave and come back, I can smell it again.

@tagir_valeev @rafaelcodes Could there be a way to design the class file API to support cases like this? Perhaps it’s not too late to influence the API design?

@rafaelcodes Too bad this isn't the option for IntelliJ IDEA. We need to support JDKs newer than the JDK our IDE is launched on. Fun fact: we have a patched ASM with removed class file version check, so we don't need to update ASM every half-a-year if nothing actually happened in bytecode.

Wow! Big news for Java virtual threads!

@IwriteOK Any suggestions? Bearing in mind that Trump will have no criminal liability for anything he does in while in office.

@pianoonetrick There is a point, regardless of whether you see it.

He's so wrong that I'm starting to think there might be a God

@rkennke 4-byte headers is truly astonishing. That’s amazing work! Now talk the ZGC guys into supporting compressed OOPS…

JEP 450 is not the end of Project Lilliput, btw. We are already busy working on 4-byte headers (down from 12 bytes). In-fact we already have a fully-working prototype. ☺️

@g_meslin Blanket statements about Toronto make me roll my eyes. Parts of Toronto often differ from each other more than they differ from other places in Ontario.

Toronto is 40km across. That same distance will take you from Pickering -> Ajax -> Whitby -> Oshawa -> Bowmanville -> Clarington. Citywide averages mislead in that Toronto is a huge area, and within it there are more local realities that warrant targeted infrastructure.

@Komaniecki_R Well, if they speed it up and it sounds like singing, I’d count it. All singing is just flapping your vocal cords periodically; that’s not an objection per se.

The Guinness record holder for "lowest voice" claims to be able to sing a G-7 (0.189Hz). Here's the problem with that: It's nonsense. "Singing" a G-7 would mean having your vocal folds click once every 5-ish seconds. Total bullshit record.

@allenholub @waltershr @alexbunardzic Absolutely, good call-out. I meant less formal and more technical, like hey, don’t forget every foobar needs to be serializable to JSON so your new foobar should implement X interface and have Y tests.

@prdoyle @waltershr @alexbunardzic I should also add the use cases/requirements imply a waterfall way of working. I do not gather requirements upfront. Rather, I learned as I work.

It is true that Pull Requests are indispensable in low-trust environments. But why would anyone want to work in low-trust environments? It's stupid to prefer low-trust environments.

@allenholub @waltershr @alexbunardzic Is mobbing better for all these things?

@allenholub @waltershr @alexbunardzic That’s interesting. I know PR code reviews don’t do much for catching bugs. They’re more for making sure the code makes sense, follows existing practices, and doesn’t neglect any cases/requirements, especially for distributed teams.
