Modern JVMs will detect orchestrator-set cgroup limits and size themselves accordingly. If you, for example, set a cpu limit for a pod to “1”, the JVM will size itself as if it was running on a single core machine.

I will never forget the amusing attention I got from the professor when this topic was covered during my undergrad. It's only happened once, sadly, but this is only seconded by the time I was assisting a junior engineer with a related problem and was able to say "Oh, that's just a Pratt Parser. Let me show you."

In the same range of the probability of it happening anywhere else, but (if you’re honest with yourself) a bit lower. Seizure of property and/or nationalization of whole industries is not a novel concept.

JEP 484: Classfile API is going to be huge. It will take a while for full adoption, but finally being able abstract the backend of ByteBuddy/ASM/etc will be a gigantic boon. Being able to read/write classifies is one of the biggest hurdles at upgrade time.

This looks very cool - I'm going to read into the implementation, there's something about producing JVM bytecode from WASM instructions and then having the JVM JIT compile it into native instructions that amuses me.

Imagine my disappointment when I spent the time to set up a Cassandra instance and it did not immediately materialize a demigod woman who knew the answers to everything but was cursed to have no one believe her.

Any discussion of the game’s requirement to install kernel-level anticheat hooks that inspect the memory of every process running on the system?

Well, it's nice to know that Sable's entire portfolio is going into the public domain, it's a shame that the likely 50-100 other shell companies owned by this troll still have an arsenal of useless, but incredibly complicated, patents to use to extort money.

A just world would involve piercing the corporate veil and imposing personal consequences on the owner of this company.

How much do you weigh?

I will start to believe the "7 years of updates" promise for Pixel phones when the first model that was released with this promise is approximately 7.5 years old. At that point, I may begin to reconsider my opinion. I fell prey to Google marketing when they released the very first Pixel model - I spent an exorbitant amount of money on it, only to have it utterly abandoned and deprecated, with support and updates dropped just over a year later.

As in all things relating to anything stated by Google with respect to the privacy, availability or expected lifetime of a consumer product, the maxim is not even "trust but verify", it should be "distrust, watch carefully, and assume the worst".

This is obviously up for debate, but subjectively I find this to be an absolutely terrible design decision.

Yet another example of how the American education system is falling behind the rest of the world. Students in the US only learn one kind of math, but apparently the rest of the English speaking world is taught multiple kinds of maths.

I’m not entirely sure - it would be interesting to break down the cohort of the 78% of never-marrieds who live alone. Presumedly, they are single or not in a serious relationship, which might indicate that there’s a deeper societal and cultural problem than just marriage.

There is no way this would ever even pass initial consideration at the Federal level, in that there is no incentive for the Federal government to limit the weaponry available to it's law enforcement apparatus. They would see such a law as containing no upside for the government itself, and therefore it will be, at best, laughed out of committee and more likely any Congressman or Senator who proposes it will mysteriously find that a lot of his or her donors are suddenly turning on him.
