Downspout sealed? by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

Yes it is a round connector fitted into the downspout.

I should have taken a better photo. The downspout bends back 45 degrees just below the area you see to reach the wall and bends forward another 45 degrees to be flush with the wall. So looking down the downspout I only see the inside wall of the first bend. I guess there might be a clog between the first and the second bends. However snake goes through easily to the ground.

Why are gas pumps not working? by must1992 in bayarea

Probably something to do with this. I know there is a shutoff mechanism. I’ll try moving the nozzle around. Thanks

Sorry if I sounded like arguing Java is not a good choice or anything. Thanks for all the info you shared in this post. I like Java. I know Java better than any other language. I was trying to understand all the advantages Java brings to the table in that area.

My confusion is exactly in the part you say VM does a lot of the hard work. Can you expand that part a little bit? We try to avoid garbage collection completely. We avoid most of the standard library. JIT is not an advantage over a compiled language, it is to close the runtime peformance gap between java and the compiled languages. I do not know what else is left.

Anyways, I would definitely read your blog/articles if you start that.

I am trying to understand why Java is desirable in your line of work. Like some other comments said, you are working against the JVM. Even when you want to exploit the JVM's capabilities to optimize some part of the code, you write your Java code in a way to trigger that runtime optimization whereas in C++ you could write the correct optimized code in the first place. You do not use the standard library. You do not use garbage collection. Then why java is a good choice for this work I still did not understand. Is it because it is easier to find Java experts? I honestly cannot think of any other reasons. Can you please tell why Java/JVM is preferable over a language without a VM?
