now that is what i call the ultimate in garbage collection technology

_another fucking framework_

its not enough if you have four ssds each with 4tb for instance

Is it not fair to say 4x4 TB SSD is an example of at least a prosumer use case (barrier there is more like ~10 before needing workstation/server gear)? Joe Schmoe is doing on the better half of Steam gamers if he's rocking a 1x2 TB SSD as his primary drive.

jars are just zip files renamed

Inspired by how NeXTSTEP bundles work.

People keep missing Java's ideas due to OpenSTEP collaboration before Java came to be.

I guess there’s a reason that Cocoa was called Cocoa… it’s also a hot beverage like Java, just sweeter ;)

also unlike java, cocoa doesn't cause jitters

JAR has additional structure to it, though it's mostly optional stuff, like metadata and code signing:

Don't forget to delete META-INF!

Wait until you learn what an iOS app's .ipa file is.

What’s that saying, there are 3 kinds of files?

zips, text files, and binary files

The old macos classic was a lot of fun, i remember using resedit on some apps at school.

I remember the first time a saw Perl, it looked like some kind of alien language from outer space, all the symbols it used looked insane.

But once you get it, its pretty intuitive to use.

The worst part about it was the syntax for object oriented programming, which in raku (perl 6) is a lot better and intuitive.

Raku has some great ideas like grammars, but has a lot of new magic symbology and lost what i thought was an intuitive way of regular expressions in Perl 5.

=~ vs ~~

“Warning: Smartmatch is experimental at foobar.pl line 42.”

If only I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen this message.

lazy_static with either a mutex or a RwLock.

I actually love how rust gatekeeps the idiots from programming it, probably why Linus Torvalds allowed rust into the kernel, but not C++.

Its really easy to use, you download, login and start working.

Its a step up from copy-pasting from an llm.

But claude code is on another level.
