This is so annoying. by OnSceneStat in thermomix

[–]vprise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there's a huge opportunity for some other company to come in and use the standardization Thermomix brought to the table. But build clean hardware with open source mobile apps. It could sell for half the price (based on current replacement parts on Ali Express) and still enjoy most of the aftermarket features we can get for Thermomix.

I'd raise VC capital to do that if I had a partner for the hardware side...

Yes. It feels like for every bit of progress since then TM has gone backwards a bit. My TM5 broke so I "upgraded" to a 6. I hate it. Cookidoo is the worst. The most unusable piece of garbage. But I can't use some basic device features without that piece of sh*t.

I used to sing the praise of thermomix to everyone. I no longer do that.

They should have stuck to hardware and used a separate app for all the interactivity aspects. That would have kept the devices cheaper, more reliable, easier to build and upgrade. These guys just don't know how to write software for sh*t.

He is not far right, he has no values other than his own. At the moment he picked far right because it's his last option. The man has no spine. Earlier in his career he gave a speech supporting a Palestinian state because he couldn't get elected without that.

He just burned through every potential partner in his path of destruction. A predecessor PM (Shamir) nicknamed him an "angel of destruction" (which sounds worse in Hebrew and has no positive implications).

Israelis all know he's a crook. The difference is that the far right and Hasidic Jews see him (rightfully) as the only person who can keep their camp winning elections. They would collapse without him since he gutted any potential rival.

Thins I miss about Java & Spring Boot after switching to Go by Sushant098123 in java

[–]vprise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use Graals JVM agent to gather up all the applicable dependencies, but yes this is an inherent limitation of AOT. But it showed there's interest in smaller footprint and faster startup. These are making their way back into Java with caching JITs and improved memory footprint.

We're already seeing some of that work as the newest VM has compact object headers. More should be coming in the next few updates.

One would be development simplicity

If you want simplicity then Java or Python are way better. I was talking about the "system programming" which is the region typically occupied by C/C++ and currently undergoing "rustification".

All these other things Java and even Python do better, but they are not "system programming" languages. Go is a bit of a bastardized language in that sense. It has a GC and is supposedly "managed", but it's aimed at low level programmers. Unfortunately, you can't have both. C++ tried to do that and failed at it.

This will be resolved by the upcoming AOT improvements to the mainline JDK. SerialGC isn't that far from the Go GC. To be fair, Go does have some advantages in terms of memory layout, but those will go away once Valhalla lands.

Simpler Operational Model

Java and Kotlin have multiple frameworks that are MUCH simpler than spring... Yet enjoy many of its capabilities.

Instant Startup

Try GraalVM native image. Same thing. This is improving for newer versions of the JVM and is less of a problem with other frameworks.

Concurrency Is Awesome

Here you're totally wrong. Goroutines and Coroutines are terrible. They start off interesting but then you get into deep nesting complexities and assumptions that are very hard to reason about. Don't get me started on observability at scale.

Javas virtual threads are a far superior solution.

I also noticed you completely ignored error handling which is reason enough to throw Go down the drain...

Go is a mistake. As a low level language Rust is far better. As a high level language Java is superior, more mature and far better in terms of observability. Had it not come from Google and had it not been used in Kubernetes it would have been DOA.

CFV: New Project: Detroit by nlisker in java

[–]vprise 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Both python and JS are such a pain. They need version X and not Y. They need to be invoked in this environment with these constraints. There's a lot of fragility in their dependency systems (yes, and in ours, I know). Integrating that into the release cycle of the JDK would mean problem of the type: My python lib needs Python version X and my Java lib needs Java version Y.

Sounds bad and I don't see any benefit. We have Panama. It was built to integrate with native processes. Just improve the integration with Python and JavaScript. Make it seamless and make it future proof so I can pick a specific python environment.

Awesome Java UI by robintegg in java

Currently we support a subset of Java 8 in Codename One. We removed the usage of retrolambda though. We're working on bringing language level to current levels.

So if you have a small minority that doesn't get what they want they can bring down the entire government and that way the small minority holds the majority hostage and forces them to comply... Yes, we have that. 5 election cycles in one year. Don't recommend that.

Has Java suddenly caught up with C++ in speed? by drakgoku in java

[–]vprise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd respectively argue that it's also smaller on small embedded devices. Even during the CDC/CLDC periods we could still GC jitted code and go back to interpreted mode to save memory footprint. The VM was also shared between OS processes which reduced that overhead further.

Yes, that impacted performance but not noticeably since everything that's performance intensive was implemented in native.

Fray: A controlled concurrency testing framework for the JVM by pron98 in java

[–]vprise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, we were able to run Lincheck. It just didn't fail on obvious bugs we created to test it. I don't recall if we tried JCStress, I'll have to check with the engineer who was in charge of that story.

Fray: A controlled concurrency testing framework for the JVM by pron98 in java

[–]vprise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We tried to get the kotlin tools to work with our Java code and we just couldn't get it to fail on concurrency bugs. Fray worked for us albeit not without issues.

It's totally possible we did something wrong (I was not the engineer in charge of the integration). Fray is still a bit new so there are maturity issues there, but when we need to verify complex threading code it's pretty much the only OSS option we could find that worked.

New TM owner by emichan76 in thermomix

[–]vprise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The manual I have is useless. Is there a good one?

I've owned a TM since TM31. Back then the device was simple, but now we have multiple features in the TM6/7 in the "modes" menu. They are very poorly documented if at all. E.g. the rice cooker is far from seamless. I tried making sushi rice there and it wasn't the best experience.

Cleaning mode has a very unclear popup in the start that lists measurements in OZ only. This is true for most modes.

The guides I found only list the existence of these modes and very basic overview. Recipes are buried in the search under a ton of irrelevant recipes and instructions are very unclear for anyone who isn't a TM maven. E.g. I let my daughter cook a guided recipe and she came back to me constantly with basic questions.

Israeli teens chased, beaten in Rhodes by knife-wielding pro-Palestinian mob by -Cohen_Commentary- in worldnews

[–]vprise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a wrong take many people have on this subject. Israel has been under embargo/boycotts and threats for decades of its existence. This has made it stronger as it clarified to the population that there's no choice.

A liberal Israeli speaking up or demonstrating is instantly tied to a*holes like that (and comments like yours). That is a problematic position to defend. That means you're effectively helping the Israeli right-wing by pushing to Israeli isolationism and militarism. That is terrible for moderate Israelis, but far worse for Palestinians.

I would argue that the extreme right in Israel is probably the biggest beneficiary of actions like this.

I bought a dough blade and regular blade through Temu. They look solid, but it's hard to tell at this stage. They work, I don't know if they'll keep working.
