I’m mot sure if you understand what swap actually is, because even machines with 1Tb of RAM have swap partitions, just in case read this post from a developer working on swap module in Linux https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html

The Linux kernel uses the CPU default scheduler, CFS,

Linux 6.6 (which recently landed on Debian) changed the scheduled to EEVDF, which is pretty widely criticized for poor tuning. 100% busy which means the scheduler is doing good job. If the CPU was idle and compilation was slow, than we would look into task scheduling and scheduling of blocking operations.

EDIT: Tried nice -n +19, still lags my other programs.

yea, this is wrong way of doing things. You should have better results with CPU-pinning. Increasing priority for YOUR threads that interact all the time with disk io, memory caches and display IO is the wrong end of the stick. You still need to display compilation progress, warnings, access IO.

There’s no way of knowing why your system is so slow without profiling it first. Taking any advice from here or elsewhere without telling us first what your machine is doing is missing the point. You need to find out what the problem is and report it at the source.

The CPU is already 100% busy, so changing number of compilation jobs won’t help, CPU can’t go faster than 100%.

Yeah this survey is super inappropriate and offensive. Please do not ask such personal questions.

Did you notice that more inappropriate questions appear and disappear based on your previous answers?

Old issue, so why post it now make it sound like MS demands something?

It’s a regression, so ffmpeg should fix a regression.

Just not in Java…

I think you’re biased against Java. Amazon was started in C/C++ and Java J2EE during times when to configure a webserver required writing like 300 lines of XML just to handle cookies, browser cache and a login page. Until recently BMW had their own JRE implementation. It’s not a secret that simcards, including these in Tesla cars run JavaCard too, even government issues sim cards in EU have to run Java Card, not C++. Everything was always fine with Java until ECMA Script appeared and made people iterate on software versions faster. New programming languages and team organisation methodologies left some programming languages in the dark, but this included C# too. All are quickly catching up. If Java was so bad, it wouldn’t be here with us today, like Perl.

There are two schools:

1. the best stack is the one you know best
2. the best stack is the one designed for the job

Remember that Google was written in Python and Java. Facebook in PHP. iOS in Objective-C. GitHub in Ruby on Rails.

After doing it for 15 years, I must be good at it and everything should be easy.

So while I’m myself struggling to fully understand what this is, it conceptually like it’s a blockchain on syncthing, where even if you subscribe to a read only share, you can locally delete what you don’t want to keep. So technically you could make bitorrent to behave like syncthing with search function for contacts you already know.

Heres the blog post about the change dated in June this year

Half year too late for that outrage anyway :)

Fantastic way to start a shitstorm. You people don’t even use search function logged out, because if you did, you would know they changed it in 2016. Microsoft has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, fuck Microsoft. They haven’t changed at all.

GitHub changed that a few months before acquisitions talks even started lol

There already is µblock that’s only MV3 based https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin-lite/ give it a try if you see any difference

Before nginx was a thing, I worked with a guy who forked apache httpd and wrote this blog in C, like, literally embedded html and css inside the server, so when he made a tpyo or was adding another post he had to recompile the source code. The performance was out of this world.

:00 - :ff

who still uses maven? who would prefer xml files over build scripts? (ok… fine, big timers like RedHat definitely do, or at least, have never taken/don’t want to take the time to upgrade lol)

Simple: Gradle doesn’t work well with inherited projects. If you have a family tree of projects, maven always wins. Lowers complexity, integrations are easier, bom are better integrated, smaller size of ~/.m2 (by literally gigabytes) and no surprises with classpath loading order. It’s not about stupid xml or stupid groovy, it’s about complexity of managing single parent project, 200 children and 150 more grandchildren and having them working out of box. More than 12 years of using Gradle, I’ve never it seen working well outside of Android projects (and it still needs Java7 right?).

End users for gradle are corporations: Google and IntelliJ. Maven has been developed for developers and technical project managers. My projects from ~2000s developed in Ant still compile and work, Maven projects from 2010s still work and compile… can’t say that about an Android project from 2014. It doesn’t even compile and there’s no backwards compatible way to use or upgrade Gradle (from 2.4). To me, gradle is worse than npm ecosystem and we did it all to ourselves.

Since I can remember IntelliJ frequently fails to detect changes in pom.xml. Changed dependency? Manually clean the project and click 2 buttons to let IJ discover it. Added new code without having the right dependency? Download dependencies manually first, try rebuilding the project, but you’re likely to have to restart the IDE anyway. That’s why I moved to VSCode.
