Things go very south in windows if you ever use really much swap. Had this with a CAM process using a lot of swap.

You barely move the barrier until the backing pagefile cannot grow anymore (which with a fast but small nvm can be reached within a few seconds). After that you get stuff like a taskmanager without fonts, as there is no memory for loading it anymore...

Get a lot of credit cards, pay of loan that cannot bankrupt, then go bankrupt with all those credits

Well, if you are not a code based developer, eg. you are used to program industrial control systems, they are often developed the same way, as with certified/proofed tools, you can guarantee that the code has no uncaught error paths or simple syntax errors.

It also has a lot appeal to people who do not develop on a daily basis, eg. I'm pretty confident I could teach my dad to use nodered vs writing python in a day.

I myself just use it (after years of being on the second side) because I noticed, that it was somehow way faster to get stuff working and keep it maintained

If your target country has a large coast, there are submarine drones already https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narco-submarine

Well prusa did with their printers

Also funny, my result of this is that I now order basically everything directly via aliexpress. If all i get is chinese crap anyway, I can at least get it cheaper.

Then I noticed that aliexpress actually made some pretty good page design choices. Since you can see how long a seller is registered and how many they have sold (both directly on the product information site), it is pretty easy to find a at lest decent trader there

Especially on JVM, conditional breakpoints are really nice for this. (And at least most classic Java-Webservers are really compatible with this approach)

As someone recycling old laptop cells that are decades old (even got a few sony fukushima ones in last batch). Having a absolute large amount of them can cancel this out. Sure one fresh cell might have the small top current than 10 parallel old ones due to resistance, but if space is no concern the older ones are really great economically.

Well I beg to differ, using a unlimited swap file can quickly reach hard issues after 64gb of swap use. At that point mallocs in the windows ui fail (timouts or something?), that apparently are not meant to, eg fonts from shutdown menu missing, the system being unable to shutdown ect.

Java allows since ~a decade time to omit the generation of stacktraces, for exactly such cases

The more I read stuff like this, the more I come to the conclusion that actual security critial real time software should probably be compiled without any (agressive) optimisations

Sure, depends only on your ethic. E.G (note devils advocate) A utilitarist might argue, that killing of a larger amount of humans that are not worth it might be for the greater good of all

A extremist fascist even has a pretty clear definition of worth added to that

Asimovs concept of being killed instead of retirement

Various concepts in fiction of adding globally some additions to drinking water to lower fertility on global scale

Chinas politic of one child per family was even somewhat fair as it discriminates equally

Java actually has a pretty useful and powerful securitymanager concept, that nearly noone uses :/

Yeah, in the best case. In the worst case it is more like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5261598 which is pretty magic.

Um wait, the main reasons for I know about is, that square corners are a huge issue with higher currents, as they tend to burn from the inside out, due to the lower resistance in the corner and non equal flowing of electrons.

Well one should also consider, that a really large amount of code and complexity is that current applications properly do i18n.

I had some suprisingly varied versions of this in school (also europe)

a) to save lives b) the bombs were actually planned for use against berlin, but the nazis already collapsed when they were ready c) because how else could you ever test these weapons in a realcase scenario d) to force a unconditional victory

The truth is probably as often a mixture of multiple interests at different levels with different motivations

Tell that the Boing 787 Max pilots...

Most autopilots (especially) on smaller planes will happily crash you into buildings without a second thought. If we had a similar central automotive control, planes can rely on this would rarely happen

Is it just me, or do I kinda feel the jvm running on wasm already? Even the uis would work by rendering via canvas in software ...

Funny thing, some JVM's already do exactly this for many years:

Failed to write HTTP message: org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotWritableException: Could not write JSON: while trying to invoke the method de.hybris.platform.catalog.model.CatalogModel.getId() of a null object returned from de.hybris.platform.catalog.model.CatalogVersionModel.getCatalog();

You mean Skype for business? It does exactly this (well with a "slight" delay but still :)).

A Traffic net in a city, but every car is forced by traffic lights where it has to turn based on it's target address that is printed on its hood

-> What other web platforms can do this? Kinda all Java Webstuff is capable of doing this (Eg. installing Plugins in Atlassian products)

In short most of German laws make it incredibly risky (but not forbidden) to use any american company for any kind of data that can be resolved to the underlying person. (Eg. a lot of companies got their warning shot when "safe harbor" exploded, if the same happens with https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome a world of shit awaits)

Only for small stuff, if you have a 100k lines project you are absolutely unable to maintain it while staying sane.

Tell that to the high-frequency-trader crowd, they almost use java exclusivly, because even 1ms equals a few thousands to them, correctness is apparently worth it for them.

The hype wave is gone, but if you ever saw @Secured or @Transactional, those are aspects after all.

Issue here is, that some of the best games I own one man, low budget hobbyist projects. Having money does not equal having talent, time and motivation to actually polish a game.

They do already, even without any goodwill, a suicide costs north of a few thousand, so it makes sense to try to reduce them.
