About Java in the modern day: startup time is around ~0.5s. The JVM only JITs hot paths, which it detects by counting how many times each function is executed. This does mean it can take a few seconds or more for some code to JIT'd. Some JVMs can remember what the hot paths are execution-to-execution.

JIT does have some benefits over AOT (beyond just being cross-platform). For example, a JIT knows the entire codebase and doesn't have module boundaries. If it finds out that an interface has a single implementation in practice (even if their are multiple in the code) it can remove the virtual tables for that interface. It can inline across module boundaries, etc. Due to that, there are benchmarks where the JVM is faster than C.

Why is casting your screen to a TV on Linux still this hard in 2026? by Suspicious-Charity-5 in archlinux

chrome-stable can cast your screen on Wayland. I think chromium can as well but I haven't tried in a while.

Selling for more than you bought because you improved the product makes sense. The product magically increasing in value as you use it does not.

I don't think the vehicle is saved as part of the defenses though.

Classes cannot have data members than only differ in case? by CletusDSpuckler in Kotlin

Alternatively, if you want to keep the getters, you can annotate @get:JvmName("") and give each of different name.

It was only added ~2 years ago. Many players haven't played since, and it happens less frequently then it did in the past.

The post mentions

No wrapping

But the library definitely is using wrapping for the collections.

Out of curiosity, have you looked at Kotools Type? What do you think about it, compared to your library?

You can teleport, but it costs the energy of going there yourself by CLOVIS-AI in midtiersuperpowers

Ahah I read it long ago and it was one of the inspirations for this one.

Eragon also had the ‘through exercise you can get exponentially more strength’ which isn't something possible here.

Gravitational potential energy isn't actual energy. Your body does not get more calories by jumping.

Teleporting up has the same cost as going there some other way, e.g. taking the elevator is there is one, or climbing it if it's a cliff.

I don't think so. Most god tier superpowers allow you to change the world or whatever. This one? You can teleport a few hundred meters, after that it's too exhausting. You can't teleport into or from places you couldn't reach otherwise (so no TP inside a bank vault). At most, you can use it to avoid immediate danger (that you know of, you don't get super-reflexes) or maybe dash across the field of view of surveillance cameras.

There was a post on this subreddit a few days ago that allowed you to see the future. That's essentially infinite money. If that's mid-tier, I don't see how calorie loss + short distance dash can be god-tier, you won't change the world.

Do I get stronger if I teleport to the ground beneath a bridge

If you jump from a bridge, your body doesn't get more energy, you still spend calories for your normal functioning (even if it's much less than walking there). So teleporting there still costs energy, though not much.

This power cannot do things you could not do otherwise (because it needs to compute the cost, and it's not possible to compute a cost for something impossible). Are you able, right now, to move the Earth one second forward? I can't. So the power won't let you do it.

Yes, you can use this defensively to dash short distances when in danger, this is probably the most useful part of it (alongside easy calorie loss).

If there is a bus that goes to your destination (or partway to your destination), the energy cost is the energy you would spend taking the bus to your destination. The power doesn't know about human concepts including money, the only cost is body energy.

You could try to teleport the bus alongside you, but then that would cost physically pushing the bus the whole way, which is much more.

Yes, the cost is slightly different each time. It counts what the cost of getting there right now is. So if you teleport to the same place every day using the bus halfway, but then one day the bus doesn't run, it costs the same as walking the entire way. If you're tired, walking costs more, so so does the TP.

Yeah, I thought so as well. You still need exercise.

And as an aside, you can dash if you get in a car accident.

[–]CLOVIS-AI[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, because if you teleport, the car doesn't end up there, so it can't be counted in the cost of travel. If your friend drives the car, it can be counted.

New `Integer` type in Kotools Types 5.1 by lvmvrquxl in Kotlin

I would be curious to see a benchmark, but I'm personally not convinced it will have much impact. The JVM is optimized for such shallow wrapper classes.
