I'm not sure if you understand what swap actually is, because even machines with 1Tb of RAM have swap partitions, just in case read this post from a developer working on swap module in Linux https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html

The Linux kernel uses the CPU default scheduler, CFS,

Linux 6.6 (which recently landed on Debian) changed the scheduled to EEVDF, which is pretty widely criticized for poor tuning. 100% busy which means the scheduler is doing good job. If the CPU was idle and compilation was slow, than we would look into task scheduling and scheduling of blocking operations.

EDIT: Tried nice -n +19, still lags my other programs.

yea, this is wrong way of doing things. You should have better results with CPU-pinning. Increasing priority for YOUR threads that interact all the time with disk io, memory caches and display IO is the wrong end of the stick. You still need to display compilation progress, warnings, access IO.

There's no way of knowing why your system is so slow without profiling it first. Taking any advice from here or elsewhere without telling us first what your machine is doing is missing the point. You need to find out what the problem is and report it at the source.

The CPU is already 100% busy, so changing number of compilation jobs won't help, CPU can't go faster than 100%.

Yeah this survey is super inappropriate and offensive. Please do not ask such personal questions.

Did you notice that more inappropriate questions appear and disappear based on your previous answers?

Old issue, so why post it now make it sound like MS demands something?

It's a regression, so ffmpeg should fix a regression.

It really depends on where you set the limit on what ORM is, JOOQ is kind of a thing you're looking for.

I completely missed that user namespaces were added in 1.25. It will make homelabs much easier and safer with little effort.

Support user namespaces in pods (KEP-127)
User namespaces is a Linux-only feature that better isolates pods to prevent or mitigate several CVEs rated high/critical, including CVE-2024-21626, published in January 2024. In Kubernetes 1.30, support for user namespaces is migrating to beta and now supports pods with and without volumes, custom UID/GID ranges, and more!

Just not in Java…

I think you're biased against Java. Amazon was started in C/C++ and Java J2EE during times when to configure a webserver required writing like 300 lines of XML just to handle cookies, browser cache and a login page. Until recently BMW had their own JRE implementation. It's not a secret that simcards, including these in Tesla cars run JavaCard too, even government issues sim cards in EU have to run Java Card, not C++. Everything was always fine with Java until ECMA Script appeared and made people iterate on software versions faster. New programming languages and team organisation methodologies left some programming languages in the dark, but this included C# too. All are quickly catching up. If Java was so bad, it wouldn't be here with us today, like Perl.

There are two schools:

1. the best stack is the one you know best
2. the best stack is the one designed for the job

Remember that Google was written in Python and Java. Facebook in PHP. iOS in Objective-C. GitHub in Ruby on Rails.

After doing it for 15 years, I must be good at it and everything should be easy.

So while I'm myself struggling to fully understand what this is, it conceptually like it's a blockchain on syncthing, where even if you subscribe to a read only share, you can locally delete what you don't want to keep. So technically you could make bitorrent to behave like syncthing with search function for contacts you already know.

Big O notation is useless for smaller sets of data. Sometimes it’s worse than useless, it’s misguiding.

I don't agree that it's useless or misguiding. The smaller dataset, the less important it is, but it makes massive difference how the rest of the algorithm will be working and changing context around it.

Let's say that you need to sort 64 ints, in a code that starts our operating system. You need to sort it once per boot, and you boot less frequently than once per day, in fact you know instances of the OS that have 14 years of uptime, so it doesn't matter at all right? Welp. Now your OS is used by a big cloud provider and they use that code to boot the kernel 13 billions times per day. The context changed, time passed by, your silly bubble sort that doesn't matter on small numbers is still there.

Heres the blog post about the change dated in June this year

Half year too late for that outrage anyway :)

Fantastic way to start a shitstorm. You people don't even use search function logged out, because if you did, you would know they changed it in 2016. Microsoft has nothing to do with it.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11321623

Yeah, fuck Microsoft. They haven’t changed at all.

GitHub changed that a few months before acquisitions talks even started lol

There already is µblock that's only MV3 based https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin-lite/ give it a try if you see any difference

You're telling me about compiling JS, to my story that is so old... I had to check. and yes, JS existed back then. HTTP2? Wasn't even planned. This was still when IRC communities weren't sure if LAMP is Perl or PHP because both were equally popular ;)

you are supposed to have written the tests and to have written your code with pair programming,

I commented out the tests because they were failing, pipelines were green so I merged. Now it's running on prod. What do you do?

Blog content was stored in memory and it was served with zero-copy to the socket, so yea, it's way faster. It was before times of php-fpm and opcache that we're using now. Back then things were deployed and communicated using tcp sockets (tcp to rails, django or php) or reading from a disk, when the best HDDs were 5600rpm, but rare to find on shared hosting.

Before nginx was a thing, I worked with a guy who forked apache httpd and wrote this blog in C, like, literally embedded html and css inside the server, so when he made a tpyo or was adding another post he had to recompile the source code. The performance was out of this world.

You live like this?

:00 - :ff

Edit: Just learnt this can be also noted as:

:: - ::f

It compiles = it goes to prod!

Also, not sure where the Java 7 thing comes from, but I run Java 17 with gradle/kotlin non-android

Yes, this seems to have improved, just successfully made a project with gradle and it works with java 18. About 2 years ago it wasn't possible to use Flutter with Java 9, at all.

who still uses maven? who would prefer xml files over build scripts? (ok… fine, big timers like RedHat definitely do, or at least, have never taken/don’t want to take the time to upgrade lol)

Simple: Gradle doesn't work well with inherited projects. If you have a family tree of projects, maven always wins. Lowers complexity, integrations are easier, bom are better integrated, smaller size of ~/.m2 (by literally gigabytes) and no surprises with classpath loading order. It's not about stupid xml or stupid groovy, it's about complexity of managing single parent project, 200 children and 150 more grandchildren and having them working out of box. More than 12 years of using Gradle, I've never it seen working well outside of Android projects (and it still needs Java7 right?).

End users for gradle are corporations: Google and IntelliJ. Maven has been developed for developers and technical project managers. My projects from ~2000s developed in Ant still compile and work, Maven projects from 2010s still work and compile... can't say that about an Android project from 2014. It doesn't even compile and there's no backwards compatible way to use or upgrade Gradle (from 2.4). To me, gradle is worse than npm ecosystem and we did it all to ourselves.

Doesn't IntelliJ has some kind of Gradle wrapper built-in it that integrates with internals of IJ? They developed it to have more powers in Gradle and Kotlin, but didn't care to provide feature parity with Maven. Then they cried when people started leaving IJ for VSC.

Since I can remember IntelliJ frequently fails to detect changes in pom.xml. Changed dependency? Manually clean the project and click 2 buttons to let IJ discover it. Added new code without having the right dependency? Download dependencies manually first, try rebuilding the project, but you're likely to have to restart the IDE anyway. That's why I moved to VSCode.

I’ve thought of doing pen testing (later on in my career), but I’ve come to realize that it is better if users just started using privacy-respecting FOSS software like Signal, because if you give a hacker enough time, patience, and the right resources, they could hack into anything.

Your idea of pentesting is so far from what it looks like in reality that it's probably not a path for you, at least not now. Let me explain: how am I going to protect my banking app using Signal? How will I know if our JSON unmarshalling library used by transaction service isn't vulnerable or exploitable? What FOSS software shows me live dashboards of deployed software in container and their security risk?

everybody still needs them and they’re not going away any time soon.

Bank is a civilization old concept, it has always been here and will be. Banks are so durable, they will run after our civilization ends.

Being offline doesn't mean not using a computer. I still had IDE and https://devdocs.io/ for better ctrl+f experience.

Learning from a documentation. Got a book, went offline and finished the book and training exercises without looking for anything online.

Don't follow these instructions for anything even half-serious, don't use it at work. The agent is downloaded from latest release from github. One day 1.30 is the latest, another day older patched version 1.15.1 is the latest, or maybe even 1.45.0-alpha is the latest. You don't control what version is being downloaded, so best of luck when it breaks and you didn't change anything. That docker volume should be mounded with ro flags too.
