Hi there, I sent an email on your official email on August 28th to have my submission removed. Unfortunately, I think they got lost in the sea of messages you get.

Can you please remove these posts I made? They are of someone's website who messaged me to not link to them here.

I hope you left that shithole company and glassdoored their management hard.

>glassdoored

I hope you meant reported to regulators

glassdoor is a fucking lie, use blind instead for real reviews. The coverage isn't as wide though.

Internet reviews are all becoming unreliable as f* to be honest.

This. Those with money and an interest in maintaining a positive appearance online can do so easily.

>I never consult the world news section of big name media publications

Just curious, why not?

Most of the times for developing stories, I like getting the full picture after consulting multiple local sources rather than getting my worldview from the vantage point of international correspondents.

Thanks for clarifying your point.

Person in the comment section, I'd take that tor link of the published data down.

Honestly, I don't think it matters - the data is out, there's no putting it back in the box.

It was emailed to thousands of UC students and workers. not private anymore

Characteristic of any forum. We're nuanced wikipedia experts on every conceivable topic under the sun.

Is there someone curating a list of actual bad apps that haven't been banned from Google Play Store?

Start with Chrome.

Curious how many folks here experimented with the now depreciated Ahead-of-Time Compilation feature?

I did, the main issue is that jaotc doesn't do any pruning of the unused methods, so it generates too much assembly code. If i remember correctly, compiling just guava was to close to 1 gig.

GraalVM native image is far better, it "compiles" more slowly but the resulting executable is not too big.

I think that is by design due to reflection needs. Hard to prune unused code when it might be called reflectively at any time.

Which is why GraalVM requires you to explicitly mention what types should be available for reflection.

Yea, but that's impractical in a lot of cases where frameworks or large libraries are involved.

There are good frameworks that already work well with GraalVM native, including Quarkus and Micronaut. They avoid reflection altogether in most cases.

Only briefly tested it. I thought RH's Quarkus project made use of it, didn't it? What's the post-16 way of Java AOT compilation?

Graal is a separate project and jaotc did use that. I believe the reason for the “separation” is that the two projects have different priorities and didn’t develop at the same pace. I believe graal is still only at version 11.

But since Java, the language is highly backward compatible, one can trivially use Graal as is (without the preview features though)

I did experiment with it to improve the startup times of one of my applications (Java Swing). The gain was quite small, nearly not noticeable.

>That's why some people write that way, to conceal the fact that they have nothing to say.

That's a great point.

Copywriter here. Sometimes the client gives me the barest thread of a topic, some minor, new product or service or partnership for them, something that could be covered comprehensively in 300 words... and then they say they want a 1000+ word blog post on it (for SEO purposes).

That article is going to end up being mostly fluff, and there’s not much I can do about it. Sure, I can work in some background and play up the implications of the news, but really, it’s just content for content’s sake, so that they can stay in their customers’ feeds.

And, just for the record, those type of articles are not my forte or preference, but are an unavoidable reality in my line of work.

Sounds like your clients might benefit from reading this essay :P
