    I've personally found heaptrack[1] pretty good for this task, very straightforward to use and the info is detailed enough. Though, it'll only tell you where they are happening (e.j…

    my favorite online diff viewer so far is https://diffs.dev/ , very straightforward. Diff2html looks cool too given it can work in terminal

    Who's to say there's no incentive. Anthropic using Bun internally is plenty incentive to make it better even if for their own use-case. I think it is a bit of a doomer perspective …

    I am unsure why people feel the need to say this about Gradle. If you aren't doing anything fancy, the most you will touch is the repositories and dependencies block of your build …

    if you want to an online java decompiler for a quick analysis, I recommend https://slicer.run/ , it has a sleek UI and provides support for a variety of decompilers (including the …

    Stuart Marks and Nicolai Parlog recently had a discussion about checked exceptions in the Java channel [0]. In short, while they mentioned that there are certainly some things to i…

    I like https://diffs.dev , it has a pretty sleek look and has an extension to make it the default diff view for github

    I seldom use it myself, but I frequently see people sharing compiler explorer snippets to compare generated assembly on discord conversations about LLVM in just about any native la…

    it isn't Ghibli style in particular, just any style as 4o image gen is much better at maintaining a particular art style, the ghibli ones just stand out due to one tweet that blew …

    Well, for starters it is just a whole lot less work and money to distribute and maintain binaries up from the distributers' side, for the developers it comes down to a lower-barrie…

    The funny thing about Java is that while its design is to be entirely nominally typed, the way it is implemented in the JVM is compatible with structural typing, but there are arti…

    Well, in the case of Samsung, I imagine they would rather not want to in order to promote their Z Flip series instead. More compact than any Mini version would potentially be. Thou…

    I'd like to believe any developer has more than a few pet projects around which they dedicate their time into whenever one has free time. Some get forgotten, others are overly spec…

    it only seems right to mention them, after all they did have the most used JS implementation back in the day, even if it is barely used nowadays.

    Interesting, I've never heard of Espresso, I've always just used Jetbrains Runtime[1] instead which is the successor of DCEVM[2] in a way. As for plugins I used HotswapAgent[3] at …
