As is every slop generated project. It’s the Toy Story meme irl.

I suspect the future of open source will be to never publish your tests. Or someone will just pump them into an LLM like this.

Their comment is also wildly wrong and outdated by two decades.

Hackers were only one of the many straws that killed Arc Raiders. Mostly it was a dev team that didn’t care.

That’s a problem with ecto and not ORMs. A good ORM will be able to do that hashmap mapping.

All the time. Oracle and the OpenJdk team do VM changes way more than language changes.

I swapped to Avaje Jsonb a while ago. Can’t recommend it and the rest of the Avaje libraries enough, especially Ebean instead of Hibernate.

> sun.misc.Unsafe

Yeah idk man sounds like it sucks to suck in this case. Don’t use unsafe.

From your example: record Local(LocalDate ld) {}

Will work perfectly fine with every deserializer I’ve ever seen.

Extremely easy to fix. Turn it into a record. I’m also pretty sure that cracking final fields is already disabled by default.

Idk man. The thing they built looked gigantic and wouldn’t fit in a tv console at all.

Yeah man I think your logic is massively flawed. You’re making assumptions based on your own preferences. Not every gamer is going to prefer the latest gpu and yes there are plenty of gamers whose libraries are filled with games that are meant for controllers and consoles, in fact I’d argue that this is more common than your choices.

Wasn’t it also like 4x the size?

I think you’re massively under valuing people who have giant Steam libraries and want to be able to use them in a console like experience.

Lots of people don’t want to buy a ps5 and split ecosystems. Lots of people don’t want to tinker with sunshine.

I don’t think having to write bash is a console like experience.

Booohooo the people who stole everything they have want to cry about having what they produced stolen???

Probably just iOS since Apple bans JIT compilers other than their own.

Kotlins nice, mutability in the collections and nullable types are nice but they still lack some form of checked error handling. I really wish they would have taken checked errors exceptions further and made them usable.

Last study I read said it was 6x.

Time bombs and just 2-3x the amount of code for the same thing. I recently rewrote a Claude generated feature from 3000 lines to 800. I guess AI fans are just predicting that no one will have to read the code in the future or something like that.
