Big O notation is useless for smaller sets of data. Sometimes it’s worse than useless, it’s misguiding.

I don't agree that it's useless or misguiding. The smaller dataset, the less important it is, but it makes massive difference how the rest of the algorithm will be working and changing context around it.

Let's say that you need to sort 64 ints, in a code that starts our operating system. You need to sort it once per boot, and you boot less frequently than once per day, in fact you know instances of the OS that have 14 years of uptime, so it doesn't matter at all right? Welp. Now your OS is used by a big cloud provider and they use that code to boot the kernel 13 billions times per day. The context changed, time passed by, your silly bubble sort that doesn't matter on small numbers is still there.

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.

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.

Edit: Just learnt this can be also noted as:

Also, not sure where the Java 7 thing comes from, but I run Java 17 with gradle/kotlin non-android

Yes, this seems to have improved, just successfully made a project with gradle and it works with java 18. About 2 years ago it wasn't possible to use Flutter with Java 9, at all.

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.

Doesn't IntelliJ has some kind of Gradle wrapper built-in it that integrates with internals of IJ? They developed it to have more powers in Gradle and Kotlin, but didn't care to provide feature parity with Maven. Then they cried when people started leaving IJ for VSC.

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.

Learning from a documentation. Got a book, went offline and finished the book and training exercises without looking for anything online.

It doesn't make the content in any way out of date

And because Microsoft moved their HQ to Munich

JavaScript bad.

Your problem is that there is JS code running in a browser?

I'm with OVH and Kimsufi and I don't know what you're even talking about. Do other providers make you install something locally?

Seems like you have some organizational and technical debt in the company that would be worth addressing before agreeing to be on-call
