iconhacker··on Analyzing the World Chess Championship 2024: Empirical synthesized approach
Yet, it took Gukesh pure luck to win the final game. So it is Ding’s loss than Gukesh’s win. Who is the weakest, your logic?
iconhacker··on Analyzing the World Chess Championship 2024: Empirical synthesized approach
Ding is clearly a better player who can play at high level with little preparation. Gukesh have the whole Indian team behind him hardly put any pressure on Ding. Sometimes not the best player wins. And I am disappointed that Gukesh played as an average GM when he is out of his prep. There is definitely something lacking.
iconhacker··on .NET on Linux: What a Contrast
MAUI sucks big on desktop UI. Try Avalonia and it is 100 miles ahead of the game!
iconhacker··on Win-Vind: Vim key binder for Windows
The best is https://fluentsearch.net/ that supports on screen keywords search as well as a powerful launcher and file indexer. For screen search it supports UIA as well as image/text based on OCR like search. It is the best and more accurate than win-vind.
iconhacker··on Before-and-after images show how Greenland's glaciers have rapidly retreated
Human did far worse than we thought. Even to this day, the Denmark government still commit this horrific crime: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/02/greenlandic-wo...
iconhacker··on Pandoc 3.0
The release 3.0 is unusable on windows. When running pandoc —version, it spawns off many instances and won’t return the value. Anyone has encountered such an issue?
iconhacker··on Stanford hates fun
A big party to celebrate the cofounder of FTX!
iconhacker··on At Xamarin I left every day at 5pm
The 90s success of Japan’s economy and technology was pretty much put to stop by the manipulations of US government. It is quite disgusting in terms of free trade and open economy.
iconhacker··on U.S. pushes Japan and other allies to join China chip curbs
What about Saudi? Is it an authoritarian but still US ally? Double standards?
iconhacker··on Apple warns suppliers to follow China rules on 'Taiwan' labeling
Only when provoked by US.
iconhacker··on PowerToys – open-source Windows utilities
https://fluentsearch.net/ fluentsearch is way more powerful than powertoy run. It replaced my need for Listary as well. The author is an Microsoft engineer and have frequently updated the app based on the community feedback. If fluent search replaced powertoy run and be part of the powertoy, it will be perfect.
iconhacker··on Show HN: My Book Bulletproof TLS and PKI (Second Edition) Is Out
I ordered the book on the Feisty Duck website last Friday. I still have not received the download link. Sent email to the link on the website. No response so far. Is this web site a hoax?
iconhacker··on Plant-based meat company vandalizes the bacon Wikipedia article
Biologically, human body is not designed to digest meat effectively. The cons of eating meat for major protein source outweighs its risks.
iconhacker··on Stay home except for essential needs
You are completely right! US will sacrifice big comparing to China that we laugh about.
iconhacker··on Iosevka – A Typeface for Code, from Code
Iosevka is my default font in visual studio. Actually it looks better with clear type than pragmatapro and Input fonts.
iconhacker··on Developing countries send trillions more to the west than the other way around
Jack Ma is actually spot on. Us problems are created by ourselves: governments and greedy companies. We spent and made a lot on weapons as well. There is nothing to blame on China and Indian.
iconhacker··on Electron 1.0 is here
Good luck to the typeless shit that JavaScript brought to us. It is never a revolution since it has been created. I do like or at least can use vscode, though.
iconhacker··on Differences Between the CLR and the JVM
The fact is that before the JVM has a chance to optimize the code, the app already restarted by the user unless it is some long running server process. On the server side, JVM is so heavy, normally there is only 1-2 heavy JVM running for web server and database driver on the entire machine. On the client side, Java is a joke. Though users now have more choices: Swing, AWT, JavaFx. Every one of these is hard to use comparing with C# or Qt. Most native platform developers hate Java, including OSX developers.
iconhacker··on Differences Between the CLR and the JVM
Another important performance issue is related to Java's handling about generic type erasure and auto boxing. This is one of the biggest design issue comparing with C#'s handling. So manipulating bytes is a pain. And there is even no unsigned byte. Benchmark does not represent real world use case. I don't feel Java is much faster than Python or Ruby. But there is too much boilerplate code comparing with C#. The pure Java language is clean. But with Spring framework and various Apache common, endless different logging framework, it makes the language such a hassle to deal with. Just my 2 cents.
iconhacker··on Differences Between the CLR and the JVM
I have used latest edition of IntelliJ on OsX. IntelliJ is acceptable but not smooth at all considering that I have 16g ram with 1tb Ssd. And font rendering due to the jvm swing bug is hurting eyes. It is far fetched to say the experience is any pleasant. To fix the issue of Java, jetbrain bundles their custom built jdk
iconhacker··on Differences Between the CLR and the JVM
I agree that IntelliJ is OK comparing with other Java apps. It is never near performant. Visual Studio being 32 bit app is still much faster than 64 bit IntelliJ, given that IntelliJ can use much more memory. Every time, people complain about IntelliJ, they are told that they will need better hardware. The reason Enterprises chose Java, is because they don't care about performance that much.
iconhacker··on Differences Between the CLR and the JVM
Plenty != every. And comparing IntelliJ and Visual studio 201*, there is no chance Java is winning.
iconhacker··on Differences Between the CLR and the JVM
Why every Java app is so slow and memory hungry?!!
iconhacker··on Chinese University Tops MIT in Engineering Rankings
American education based on sales. It sells knowledge and that is why it is going downhill. Being politically correct on races is another curse. And don't talk about creativity when you students cannot do math on paper!
iconhacker··on The model minority is losing patience
How many Latino or African American kids are different? How many "White" kids are standing out? All white kids seem the same is not an understatement.
iconhacker··on Better Java – Resources for Writing Modern Java
C# property shares its own set of issues , especially when there are exceptions involved.
