  • It’s been interesting seeing the changes as they happened over time working with java pretty often for a good chunk of that time. The jvm and jit performance improvements, syntax changes and additional jep features added vs what was left out, tools for running and managing jvms, Sun & Oracle shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly, new jvm languages with scala, groovy, clojure, etc and their impact on java. I prefer other languages and tool chains for some cases, but java has been pretty good for building reliable, upgradable, extendable systems that get the job done & have a good large stable library.




  • This guy gets it, try to really dig into your conclusions before investigating anything & anytime someone provides good reasons they aren’t actually true. Get really belligerent and obstinate when someone traps you with ‘logical reasons’ or ‘convincing evidence’. Then you too can maintain an irrational childish perspective through adulthood & never have to challenge your beliefs or learn anything even slightly uncomfortable.






  • Lately the most frequent ide/editors I’ve been using are sublime text, eclipse, and teXworks. I’d like to replace sublime text, maybe go back to emacs or give neovim a try. I’ll probably get rid of eclipse once I can replace the ee containers with self contained apps, I used vs code for a bit with java and it was fine but the ee server container integration wasn’t great, this was a couple years ago I last tried though.




  • The most efficient base for a number system is e.

    We use base 10 with 0-9 digits and each position is a ten’s place, and the efficiency being measured is the product of the number of digits and the length of digits needed to represent a number in a given range of values. So if we used base 2 binary instead of base 10 decimal we only need to remember 2 digits 0-1, but to represent most numbers we’ll need more digits, 11 in base 10 is 1011 in base 2. On the other side we could use hexadecimal to write shorter numbers like 11 is B, but need to use more digits, 0-F digits where A-F are the 10-15 digits.

    If you try to plot a function that minimizes the efficiency the minimum is at e. So you’d have digits 0-2 and e would be written as 10 since each position is an e’s place.
