Really awesome series of articles about Java Virtual Machine -- #JVM Anatomy Quarks:
Do you have any plans for 2:02PM on 2nd February 2020?
Not sure if you remember, but the first version of #Android has been using dark-ish theme by default.
Then, Google has switched from dark to light theme from some reason.
And then when Apple decided that dark theme is a thing, Google started to roll out dark theme again, but this time advertising it as a new feature.
In early #Windows95 prototype, the Trash was named 'Wastebasket'.

Metaprogramming (programming using templates) in C++ is like programming in JavaScript -- there are lots of interesting stuff you can do, but you have to fight with the language at every step.
If I'll never create my own Linux distro, I'm gonna name it: "CON & * ? \ / ( Linux".
The value of gamer boycott:
... since I've mentioned #JavaScript:
0x123456789 * 0x123456789 = ?
Ruby: 23880016183359539025
Python3: 23880016183359539025
#JavaScript: 23880016183359537000

template<typename T>
struct S {
template<typename U> void foo(){}
};
template<typename T>
void bar()
{
S<T> s;
s.foo<T>(); // error: < parsed as less than operator
}
#C++ please don't act like #JavaScript
Very cool wrap up of copy #protection techniques on #Atari ST floppy disks:
#GMail is harmful to e-mail ecosystem; its antispam blocking policy matches too many valid messages as spam.
It blocked LastPass email leak warning email, because it contained "a link" to a leaked site.
It blocked an e-mail from goverment agency addressed directly to me.
It discriminates all non-gmail servers, and it's pretty much impossible to own a private SMTP server these days, because GMail will classify everything as spam.
It's not how e-mail should work.
Consider dropping GMail.
Interviews with programming language creators
#GraalVM works.
Just checked it on a small Java app, it compiled a native version of the app, startup time 0.00s, faith in Java ecosystem restored. (hello small tools written in Scala and Clojure!)

David Icke believes that an inter-dimensional race of reptilian beings called the Archons have hijacked the earth and that a genetically modified human–Archon hybrid race of shape-shifting reptilians, also known as the "Babylonian Brotherhood", manipulate global events to keep humans in constant fear so the Archons can feed off the 'negative energy' this creates. The only way this Archontic influence can be defeated is if people wake up to "the truth" and fill their hearts with love.
