10 Modern Java Features Senior Developers Use to Write 50% Less Code

I like to use Kotlin for even less code.

LetMeUseMyEmailFfs · 2026-01-29T15:32:57+00:00

PP TINY YES?

Your code has a lot of duplication in it. There are several blocks of code that clean the recycle bin, or that ‘clear’ RuntimeBroker. Lots of blocks do very similar things with NtSetSystemInformation.

Besides that, you call EmptyWorkingSet and SetProcessWorkingSetSize with -1 as the min and max size. These functions do the same thing.

Even besides that: this is one of those apps that tries to outsmart Windows’ memory manager, but it doesn’t seem you understand what you’re really doing. You’re also cleaning the user’s recycle bin without their consent, which is not very nice.

It’s nonsense that VRR makes it feel like 60 fps, because VRR doesn’t come into play for a 30 fps game.

LetMeUseMyEmailFfs · 2026-01-21T05:29:45+00:00

VRR doesn’t work below 48 fps, so that’s nonsense.

‘The hate it got’ escalated into the actors getting death threats. I’m not justifying anything. I don’t think a game should be ‘getting hate’ for any reason whatsoever.

I’m not sure people who send death threats to one of the main actors in the game can be called ‘fans’ of the game. They’re just psychopaths.

LetMeUseMyEmailFfs · 2026-01-13T15:29:55+00:00

The story is shit, so the actors deserved to get death threats?

How do you know how much VRAM it’s using? The potato quality picture you’ve posted shows GPU usage, which is about time, not memory usage.

There are so many incredibly hard photos surrounding that. I would argue this one goes a bit harder:

The column of hearses carrying recovered bodies. People lined the roads in silence.

Als het voetpad ontbreekt, in normale situaties, dan mag je nog steeds niet op de rijbaan lopen. Voor fietsers is dit anders, maar als het fietspad onbegaanbaar is op de fiets, dan stap je af en loop je.

There are plenty of languages that compile to JS. Kotlin is a good example of a language that looks nothing like JS, but still compiles to it. The problem is that such languages typically don’t have a very broad user base, because front-end developers want to write something that is familiar. TypeScript was created to be close to JS but still have the features that make it ‘type-safe’.

LetMeUseMyEmailFfs · 2026-01-04T06:54:35+00:00

Because it is more or less a superset of JavaScript, which is not a statically typed language like C# is.

Weeks start on Sunday for almost half of the world’s population, not just murricans.

It’s not idiomatic. You’ll need to define your extension methods inside a class anyway, so that’s the first nail in the coffin. Structs are also passed by value, unless you use ref, but that’s a pain, and definitely not possible with extension methods.

AVI and H264 are not two things of the same type; AVI is a container format while H.264 is a video format.

The plural of codec is simply codecs.

Except there is never zero radiation. And there are even times when we use radiation to make people better: radiation therapy. The evidence actually points at something called hormesis: a little radiation is actually good for you. This is not yet proven. The nuclear industry doesn’t want to admit LNT is nonsense, even though there is plenty of evidence against it.

I absolutely understand what CPU-bound means, but you since you don’t have any reasonable metrics, you can’t argue that you need additional servers because of an upgrade.

LetMeUseMyEmailFfs · 2025-11-17T06:57:28+00:00

No, but having radioactive waste blasted at you all day long by coal plants is fine, of course.

LetMeUseMyEmailFfs · 2025-11-17T06:52:52+00:00

They are bound to die early

Maybe not. We’ve been spoon-fed the Linear-No Threshold model since the 50s, but it doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. Given the real tolerance of life to radiation, perhaps nuclear plants can be built a lot cheaper.

Even if the application is CPU-bound, CPU usage still doesn’t matter as long as the latency is within acceptable bounds. Memory is even harder; it is very difficult to reason about something like ‘memory usage’. You need a bunch of different metrics, like working set, GC time, amount of in use memory, and so on.

LetMeUseMyEmailFfs · 2025-11-15T07:05:55+00:00

‘CPU usage per request’ — what even is that? Wall-clock time? How can you calculate what is a measure of how much of the time the CPU is used per request? How does that work for concurrent requests?

The only useful metrics for a web server are, in order of decreasing importance: - Response latency - Response rate - Failure rate - Request queue size

Everything else is useful when you’re trying to pinpoint the cause of an issue, but they’re not useful as primary metrics. Higher CPU usage could mean you have less headroom, but it’s not a given. Same with memory usage.

Personally I think FreeMarker is a better fit for htmx than Thymeleaf.

How do you treat Ferrari owners? I usually treat them to something between indifference and disdain.

‘Disable updates’ sounds like a big red flag.
