I don't think the realistic alternative here was “hire a team for a month and get a better semantic conversion” For a rewrite of this size, the expensive part is deep understanding of the underlying system in order to…
Glad I wasn't the only one, my second thought was Dual Shock controller but that wasn't it either lol
I've personally found heaptrack[1] pretty good for this task, very straightforward to use and the info is detailed enough. Though, it'll only tell you where they are happening (e.j. allocation rate for Box::new), but…
To my surprise, Movable Type is still being developed even today. Wonder if there's some companies still using it out inertia. I know many moved off of it back when they restricted their free tier
my favorite online diff viewer so far is https://diffs.dev/, very straightforward. Diff2html looks cool too given it can work in terminal
Who's to say there's no incentive. Anthropic using Bun internally is plenty incentive to make it better even if for their own use-case. I think it is a bit of a doomer perspective to think anything being bought out…
I am unsure why people feel the need to say this about Gradle. If you aren't doing anything fancy, the most you will touch is the repositories and dependencies block of your build script, perhaps add publishing or…
if you want to an online java decompiler for a quick analysis, I recommend https://slicer.run/, it has a sleek UI and provides support for a variety of decompilers (including the likes of Vineflower, CFR, JASM,…
Stuart Marks and Nicolai Parlog recently had a discussion about checked exceptions in the Java channel [0]. In short, while they mentioned that there are certainly some things to improve about checked exceptions, like…
I like https://diffs.dev, it has a pretty sleek look and has an extension to make it the default diff view for github

I seldom use it myself, but I frequently see people sharing compiler explorer snippets to compare generated assembly on discord conversations about LLVM in just about any native language discord (but mainly the Rust…
it isn't Ghibli style in particular, just any style as 4o image gen is much better at maintaining a particular art style, the ghibli ones just stand out due to one tweet that blew up and people followed along
Well, for starters it is just a whole lot less work and money to distribute and maintain binaries up from the distributers' side, for the developers it comes down to a lower-barrier of entry to not have to adjust their…
The funny thing about Java is that while its design is to be entirely nominally typed, the way it is implemented in the JVM is compatible with structural typing, but there are artificial limitations set to follow the…
Well, in the case of Samsung, I imagine they would rather not want to in order to promote their Z Flip series instead. More compact than any Mini version would potentially be. Though I guess for the people who like…
I'd like to believe any developer has more than a few pet projects around which they dedicate their time into whenever one has free time. Some get forgotten, others are overly specific to be marketed at all but maybe…

it only seems right to mention them, after all they did have the most used JS implementation back in the day, even if it is barely used nowadays.

This kind of comment always makes me wonder, are the people doing this doing well financially to afford cutting off all those "loose" connections with people like that? Because I couldn't imagine just destroying these…

Interesting, I've never heard of Espresso, I've always just used Jetbrains Runtime[1] instead which is the successor of DCEVM[2] in a way. As for plugins I used HotswapAgent[3] at times however I found it to be rather…
