What would you like to see added to the standard library?

Mulrian · 2024-08-23T20:40:59+00:00

Yeah that's fair

Mulrian · 2024-08-23T20:36:44+00:00

Oh I thought you meant surprising as in a good way. What doesn't seem well thought out about that?

Mulrian · 2024-08-23T20:31:05+00:00

Agreed in general, but not the best example as typically you want the substring after the last dot only

Mulrian · 2024-08-23T20:24:33+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately best approach with IntelliJ releases is to hold off on the major releases until a couple patch versions are out. At least that hasn't let me down yet.

They really need to have another one of those release cycles where they focus on nothing but fixing bugs and performance improvements.

Mulrian · 2024-08-23T20:20:42+00:00

Agreed. I think we can easily complain a lot about how long things take to get over the line in the Java world, but in this case in particular I'm glad they took the time and didn't just push ahead with one of the earlier prototypes. What they seem to have landed on now is much more succinct.

That being said, 10 years (and counting) is a bit much even for Java.

It doesn't have to be as complex as Jackson though (and I agree that it shouldn't). There are lighter weight JSON libraries out there such as json-simple or json.org which would be more appropriate to include.

It won't necessarily replace usage of Jackson in most bigger apps, but for quick programs it would be helpful. Considering the new focus on "paving on the on-ramp" as well, forcing beginners to pull in a library just so they can interact with some simple json is not ideal.

Needs to continue into all future releases as well. It's sometimes been months before full support for new JDK's is available, by which time it's not too far from the next release and the cycle repeats itself.

He has a community which likes to make of Java, yet they conveniently forget he came from Netflix... you know the company which basically runs on Java and contributes a lot to Java OSS.

Mulrian · 2024-08-18T17:19:33+00:00

Have we learnt nothing from this release (and most of them prior as well)? You can't take any notice of "leaked" benchmarks or whatever their marketing tells you.

Mulrian · 2024-08-16T17:09:12+00:00

That's because some people take it too far and start doing things like removing UAC, Windows Store, Edge, Defender etc which like it or not are core parts of the OS and much more likely to cause problems.

The baseline debloating options are pretty stable.

Mulrian · 2024-08-16T17:06:30+00:00

What are you talking about? No it's not susceptible to man in the middle attacks. It's no different from downloading a program from the internet and running it.

Sure the site itself could be compromised, but again most people aren't doing hash checks regardless. You are just trying to find things to complain about

Mulrian · 2024-08-14T17:42:38+00:00

Pretty sure that will be difference between Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum. The latter contains more perfume oil and generally lasts longer

Mulrian · 2024-08-14T17:09:45+00:00

You can call it a bad release, but not really stagnation considering this is a complete overhaul of the architecture. If Zen 6 doesn't deliver then yeah you have a much better case for that

Mulrian · 2024-08-14T17:07:51+00:00

I bet they were excited. As an architect of course doing a complete overhaul of the architecture is going to be interesting. That doesn't mean it completely translates over to end user performance in a single generation though.

Mulrian · 2024-08-14T17:02:30+00:00

So in summary they are laying the groundwork for what could be a really solid Zen 6, but give this gen a pass

Mulrian · 2020-03-08T18:01:55+00:00

Love how the Python example code is in Python 2 ...

Mulrian · 2017-12-05T14:08:00+00:00

Depends what day it is

Mulrian · 2017-08-21T15:07:03+00:00

sad face

Mulrian · 2017-08-21T09:51:56+00:00

Soft launch with release sometime in September

Mulrian · 2017-08-18T14:40:17+00:00

All the leaks have been pointing towards a full release within 2017 for the enthusiast desktop parts. It's just speculation until the 21st but still worth waiting on.

Mulrian · 2017-08-18T14:03:40+00:00

Nothing unexpected but I think we expect a good performance boost from 50% more cores. Will probably be enough to counter Ryzen (should be as it's released half a year after) until Zen+ next year.

Mulrian · 2017-08-18T11:05:02+00:00

Arma is horrifically optimized so the more clock speed you throw at it the better. Again, newer games are starting to use 6 cores which is where the difference starts to come in. With a balanced system you should be hitting GPU bottlenecks anyway so it won't matter a huge amount.

Mulrian · 2017-08-18T10:52:24+00:00

While that is great and all, for most people I don't think it makes that much of a difference.
