I generally prefer the pagination style of navigation for longer materials unless it's being used as reference material that I want to quickly search through. The reason being is that with scrolling I find it's easy to lose my place via accidental scroll. Again, it depends on the content and its use.
There's a saying that "only the good die young" which applies to Java GC. If your Instants and Strings are really short lived then the GC for those is nearly free. For your workload are these objects living on the heap for long enough to be promoted beyond the young generation?
You might think so but I'm seeing a number of local restaurants offering free delivery if you call in your order directly so it would appear 30% is not, in fact, a reasonable cost for delivery. At least for some restaurants.
Unfortunately, in an economic environment like this a union won't help you. We're seeing many public services staff that are unionized laid off (in Canada) and I'm sure this is happening around the world. By the end of this it's quite likely this will look similar to the Great Depression.
That's not really the case as far as I can tell. I had an old account from learning some of their complementary Azure content via Microsoft and I was able to enter my existing email id and activate the 30 day free content on my account.
I read an interesting article a while back that posited that we have seen inflation but it's been masked in the regular basket of consumer goods by cheap imports from China. Meanwhile we have seen significant inflation in housting but it's not really recognized as such.
As is pointed out in the article for the most part fonts are a form of progressive enhancement and lacking the font normally doesn't actually break a website. Unless a little less pretty == broken of course.
I'm not surprised. Azure is the obvious choice at the enterprise level since it's MS makes it relatively easy to sync on-prem Active Directory into Azure AD.
So far what I've observed is <10s cold-start times on GCR. This is a fairly lightweight web app written using Undertow in Java so carries a JVM as overhead.
Right now you may be able to do more with AppEngine but the trade-off is you're locked in to platform-specific APIs. With Cloud Run there's no platform lock in since all it is, is a Docker container with whatever you want running that listens on $PORT.
I visited Amsterdam recently and noticed in conversation with a number of people that both the citizens and governments are very aware and concerned about climate change since they're in a particularly vulnerable position to rising ocean levels.
Sleep tracking at $30/month? Are you joking? I don't think anyone moving from a Fitbit is going to be willing for that kind of $$$ commitment to track sleep!
Pretty much just as unsuited. Even if a van has 3 times the area available to solar panels it's still a negligible amount of energy...
By the way, the best book and/or course I've read for building intuition for these kinds of questions is "Physics for Future Presidents" by Richard Muller. He used to teach it as a course at CMU and I believe the lecture series is still available to watch or listen to online. Very worthwhile.
Actually ElasticSearch is paying the salaries of a number of Lucene committers. At least they did so already about 5 years or so ago. Haven't followed things closely more recently.
I'm curious what you find distracting in Gnome? Unless you're running in Classic mode the newer versions got rid of everything except the top menu bar and that is less busy than it used to be. The default launcher works very well using the keyboard only, I actually quite like it (though there are definitely other things I don't like about the Gnome defaults).
AdoptOpenJDK is at a bit of a disadvantage because it doesn't currently have permission and/or access to the TCK for Java SE so is unable to certify their builds (https://adoptopenjdk.net/support.html#jck). This won't matter for many people but some enterprises will no doubt require it.
In the world of large enterprise which is just now waking up and jumping all-in with "digital transformation" projects and "cloud strategies" Microsoft appears to be winning the battle. I work for a company that services large enterprises and anecdotally I'm seeing the majority of them choosing Azure over AWS. I believe this is in large part because Microsoft knows how to sell to enterprises, they have great tie-ins with existing on-prem core infrastructure like Active Directory which is a big deal to large companies. When large enterprises start jumping on board they will move the needle pretty significantly as they ramp-up. I anticipate Azure closing the gap on AWS pretty significantly over the next 2 years.
To be fair, there's a disclaimer right in the first paragraph: "But in this blog, we will introduce you a probably not practical but a cool use case using GraalVM." (sic)
The website appears to emphasize communicating via the written word and other asynchronous forms of communication. I'm curious whether you found communicating asynchronously didn't work or wasn't as effective or if it was the team members specifically that were the issue?
