#features of java 7

[largersillierfriend]

This week we've been flushing out our Fallout TTRPG set in the ruins of the city of Portland Oregon.

My character, Jack Walters, is a Securitron that was programmed to keep the a neighborhood school loading area safe. Which he did, even when there were no children to keep safe, for over 200 years.

The other character in the game is Tom Ham. A ghoul who has survived the apocalypse by being sneaky, both in action and word. He convinced Jack to leave the safety of the school parking lot and help the children of the world.

The rest of the short campaign (and illustrations) after the cut. ✂️

We came across a group of book fanatics at Owl's Books (Powell's Books has some letters missing all these years later.) The book keepers all dress like great horned owls, wearing cowls made of terry cloth towels.

The first mission the owl people sent us on was to locate a first edition of the book "The Rat and the Racecar" by Barbra Clearly (instead of The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary.)

First we made our way down to the Cascade Trading Trail Market (where Portland's Saturday Market used to be held) and bought stuff for the mission. Since Tom actually gets healed from radiation we decided to head to the Willamette River and get some irradiated water for free ... Big mistake.

The two of us didn't really do well against the large Bullylurk (using a Mirelurk game stats but with frog qualities and features for the narrative) but we DID manage to get away and leave it with a limp. But we also had to spend a day and a bunch of our inventory on healing.

Bongo Java is a local favorite, and rival company to Nuka-Cola. Though it isn't a soft drink, the people of the Pacific Northwest used to drink the same amount of coffee as most people did soft drinks.

The next day we stopped in the Bongo Java factory (where the Franz bread factory is, off Sandy Blvd.) and found a whole bunch of different one-off coffee drinks our GM made up for us. We also fought a few ghouls and radroaches.

We headed up Sandy towards the Nuka-Cola bottling plant (where the 7-UP bottling plant is)and found it, and the overpass over the freeway has collapsed into a sinkhole filled with Nukalurks making it impossible to travel up Sandy any further. Which was honestly fine, because we needed to head north towards Clearly Park (Grant Park and High School area) where Barbra Clearly's house was.

We ended up running into some raiders in the museum/home of author Barbara Clearly, but we were rolling really well for that combat and made it through okay.

After we made short work of them, the survivors and scavengers of the neighborhood popped out and thanked us for helping, and we got to shop amongst them for items.

Tom bought a bunch of stuff for healing himself, and Jack got to upgrade his armor!

We hacked the terminal in Clearly's house and found an email from the nearby school thanking her for donating the first edition. But when I rolled to hack the computer I rolled "a complication" which was that they shored up security because of the book.

TODAY'S SESSION:

We went to the school and fought a Super Mutant. It was a pretty short fight, but he harmed us A LOT.

After that we found the library and the "extra security" I accidentally rolled was a Protectron that booted up when we walked in. Tom rolled for stealth while I (using my high charisma) convinced the robot that I was a school worker and SHOULD be in there. At that point Tom hacked the computer and shut the robot down anyway.

All the rest of the rolling in the RPG session was for stuff like "how much time did it take to find the book" and looting the room.

As a great button to the end of the campaign, we found a radio attachment in the room to install in my character's chassis. But as Tom the ghoul started helping me install it he rolled another damned complication.

A radroach jumped out of my frame and attacked him. Game-wise the GM rolled that it incapacitated Tom's arm, but ALSO rolled zero hit points. So he basically described the gist cockroach hitting Tom in the funny bone.

As Jack went to smash the bug (and succeeded) I rolled A THIRD FUCKING COMPLICATION!

Since we were ending the session anyway the GM described that because my chassis was opened a spark flew out and set the library on fire, then spread to the entire building. IRL This song came on the radio, painting the scene as a robot and a ghoul flee from a burning high school:

We convinced the GM that since you can fast travel in the video game we should be able to fast travel in the RPG. And we made it back to the Bookstore, ready for our next mission (either chuck palahniuk, or ursula k. leguin) from the Owl People.

Thank you for reading this far, if anyone did.🩷

Tierlist part 8: Java and Php

First lets just get Php out of the way. It is a horrid thing and i hate working with it. Straight to the fiery pit with it. I have no particular love for java. It was the second language i learned after python but i quickly moved on to c++. The best feature by far is minecraft mods. So to high C tier with it.

How to Build Software Projects for Beginners

Building software projects is one of the best ways to learn programming and gain practical experience. Whether you want to enhance your resume or simply enjoy coding, starting your own project can be incredibly rewarding. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started.

1. Choose Your Project Idea

Select a project that interests you and is appropriate for your skill level. Here are some ideas:

To-do list application

Personal blog or portfolio website

Weather app using a public API

Simple game (like Tic-Tac-Toe)

2. Define the Scope

Outline what features you want in your project. Start small and focus on the minimum viable product (MVP) — the simplest version of your idea that is still functional. You can always add more features later!

3. Choose the Right Tools and Technologies

Based on your project, choose the appropriate programming languages, frameworks, and tools:

Web Development: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, or Django

Mobile Development: Flutter, React Native, or native languages (Java/Kotlin for Android, Swift for iOS)

Game Development: Unity (C#), Godot (GDScript), or Pygame (Python)

4. Set Up Your Development Environment

Install the necessary software and tools:

Code editor (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Atom, or Sublime Text)

Version control (e.g., Git and GitHub for collaboration and backup)

Frameworks and libraries (install via package managers like npm, pip, or gems)

5. Break Down the Project into Tasks

Divide your project into smaller, manageable tasks. Create a to-do list or use project management tools like Trello or Asana to keep track of your progress.

6. Start Coding!

Begin with the core functionality of your project. Don’t worry about perfection at this stage. Focus on getting your code to work, and remember to:

Write clean, readable code

Test your code frequently

Commit your changes regularly using Git

7. Test and Debug

Once you have a working version, thoroughly test it. Look for bugs and fix any issues you encounter. Testing ensures your software functions correctly and provides a better user experience.

8. Seek Feedback

Share your project with friends, family, or online communities. Feedback can provide valuable insights and suggestions for improvement. Consider platforms like GitHub to showcase your work and get input from other developers.

9. Iterate and Improve

Based on feedback, make improvements and add new features. Software development is an iterative process, so don’t hesitate to refine your project continuously.

10. Document Your Work

Write documentation for your project. Include instructions on how to set it up, use it, and contribute. Good documentation helps others understand your project and can attract potential collaborators.

Conclusion

Building software projects is a fantastic way to learn and grow as a developer. Follow these steps, stay persistent, and enjoy the process. Remember, every project is a learning experience that will enhance your skills and confidence!

Annon-Guy: New Characters announced for Sonic Racing: Crossworlds! Any thoughts? I also put my personal thoughts on their inclusions in the Polls.

Hatsune Miku (Vocaloid)

Joker (Persona 5)

Ichiban Kasuga (Yakuza/Like A Dragon)

Steve, Alex and Creeper (Minecraft)

Sonic The Werehog (Sonic Unleashed)

Rusty, Nine and Dread (Sonic Prime)

Hatsune Miku: 10/10, everybody loves Miku. It'd be especially cool if some of the tracks had her popular songs (or rather song's she's featured in and known for) as background music. Joker: Don't actually know much about the Persona series other than disjointed snippets from secondhand info, but he seems like a rad dude. 9/10. Ichiban Kasuga: I don't know him at all other than I know people like the Yakuza games. Reserving judgement but he seems fun. 7/10 until I learn more. Steve, Alex, and Creeper: 10/10 would crap my pants if I was racing down the track and some square thing in a minecart started coming up behind me only for it to go "TSSSSSS." Creepers are the bane of my existence. I usually wear a custom skin on both Bedrock and Java, but my main skin on Java was based on Efe and Kais skins because Like their outfits. But Alex and Steve are classic so of course they'd be there. 10/10. Me like dumb block game. Sonic the Werehog: Screaming and crying and throwing up. Sega really said "The furries love our game, let's make this beast even more furrybait and made Werehog Sonic. Absolutely insane move. 11/10. Love when a character "got that dog in him" as they say. Make 👏 him👏 feral👏! Rusty, Nine, and Dread: Inner child is biting them with my teeth (positive). Loved pirates and Knuckles as a kid, so Pirate Knuckles stares directly into my soul 20 years ago like "I was made for you." Nine had to be there of course. Everyone loves our cute and kinda cowardly hairball who has to slowly warm up to Sonic again. I'm also surprised Thorn didn't make the cut but Rusty IS the fan favorite version of Amy, I think. And since it seems like they were trying to limit picks to 3, it makes sense that they went with the 3 most popular picks. 11/10.

The C Programming Language Compliers – A Comprehensive Overview

 C is a widespread-purpose, procedural programming language that has had a profound have an impact on on many different contemporary programming languages. Known for its efficiency and energy, C is frequently known as the "mother of all languages" because many languages (like C++, Java, and even Python) have drawn inspiration from it.

C Lanugage Compliers 

Developed within the early Seventies via Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs, C changed into firstly designed to develop the Unix operating gadget. Since then, it has emerge as a foundational language in pc science and is still widely utilized in systems programming, embedded systems, operating systems, and greater.

2. Key Features of C

C is famous due to its simplicity, performance, and portability. Some of its key functions encompass:

Simple and Efficient: The syntax is minimalistic, taking into consideration near-to-hardware manipulation.

Fast Execution: C affords low-degree get admission to to memory, making it perfect for performance-critical programs.

Portable Code: C programs may be compiled and run on diverse hardware structures with minimal adjustments.

Rich Library Support: Although simple, C presents a preferred library for input/output, memory control, and string operations.

Modularity: Code can be written in features, improving readability and reusability.

Extensibility: Developers can without difficulty upload features or features as wanted.

Three. Structure of a C Program

A primary C application commonly consists of the subsequent elements:

Preprocessor directives

Main function (main())

Variable declarations

Statements and expressions

Functions

Here’s an example of a easy C program:

c

Copy

Edit

#include <stdio.H>

int important() 

    printf("Hello, World!N");

    go back zero;

Let’s damage this down:

#include <stdio.H> is a preprocessor directive that tells the compiler to include the Standard Input Output header file.

Go back zero; ends this system, returning a status code.

4. Data Types in C

C helps numerous facts sorts, categorised particularly as:

Basic kinds: int, char, glide, double

Derived sorts: Arrays, Pointers, Structures

Enumeration types: enum

Void kind: Represents no fee (e.G., for functions that don't go back whatever)

Example:

c

Copy

Edit

int a = 10;

waft b = three.14;

char c = 'A';

five. Control Structures

C supports diverse manipulate structures to permit choice-making and loops:

If-Else:

c

Copy

Edit

if (a > b) 

    printf("a is more than b");

 else 

Switch:

c

Copy

Edit

switch (option) 

    case 1:

        printf("Option 1");

        smash;

    case 2:

        printf("Option 2");

        break;

    default:

        printf("Invalid option");

Loops:

For loop:

c

Copy

Edit

printf("%d ", i);

While loop:

c

Copy

Edit

int i = 0;

while (i < five) 

    printf("%d ", i);

    i++;

Do-even as loop:

c

Copy

Edit

int i = zero;

do 

    printf("%d ", i);

    i++;

 while (i < 5);

6. Functions

Functions in C permit code reusability and modularity. A function has a return kind, a call, and optionally available parameters.

Example:

c

Copy

Edit

int upload(int x, int y) 

    go back x + y;

int important() 

    int end result = upload(3, 4);

    printf("Sum = %d", result);

    go back zero;

7. Arrays and Strings

Arrays are collections of comparable facts types saved in contiguous memory places.

C

Copy

Edit

int numbers[5] = 1, 2, three, 4, five;

printf("%d", numbers[2]);  // prints three

Strings in C are arrays of characters terminated via a null character ('').

C

Copy

Edit

char name[] = "Alice";

printf("Name: %s", name);

8. Pointers

Pointers are variables that save reminiscence addresses. They are powerful but ought to be used with care.

C

Copy

Edit

int a = 10;

int *p = &a;  // p factors to the address of a

Pointers are essential for:

Dynamic reminiscence allocation

Function arguments by means of reference

Efficient array and string dealing with

9. Structures

C

Copy

Edit

struct Person 

    char call[50];

    int age;

;

int fundamental() 

    struct Person p1 = "John", 30;

    printf("Name: %s, Age: %d", p1.Call, p1.Age);

    go back 0;

10. File Handling

C offers functions to study/write documents using FILE pointers.

C

Copy

Edit

FILE *fp = fopen("information.Txt", "w");

if (fp != NULL) 

    fprintf(fp, "Hello, File!");

    fclose(fp);

11. Memory Management

C permits manual reminiscence allocation the usage of the subsequent functions from stdlib.H:

malloc() – allocate reminiscence

calloc() – allocate and initialize memory

realloc() – resize allotted reminiscence

free() – launch allotted reminiscence

Example:

c

Copy

Edit

int *ptr = (int *)malloc(five * sizeof(int));

if (ptr != NULL) 

    ptr[0] = 10;

    unfastened(ptr);

12. Advantages of C

Control over hardware

Widely used and supported

Foundation for plenty cutting-edge languages

thirteen. Limitations of C

No integrated help for item-oriented programming

No rubbish collection (manual memory control)

No integrated exception managing

Limited fashionable library compared to higher-degree languages

14. Applications of C

Operating Systems: Unix, Linux, Windows kernel components

Embedded Systems: Microcontroller programming

Databases: MySQL is partly written in C

Gaming and Graphics: Due to performance advantages

Reading old game dev blogposts and interviews today for games i grew up with and its AAARRRGGHH. I kinda want to program again just so i can make fun little blog posts about a new feature I've been working on that i can then plaster a little screenshot to! But it's been like 7 years since i seriously did anything programming related. I draw doodles now a days and cook for myself. But blogging about that isn't as fun as being like. Woah check out this new rendering function i made it's so wacky! I honestly don't even know what i would make even if i did relearn something like java. Maybe a dwarf fortress type ascii dungeon crawler, but I don't think I can do a project like that in 4 months or so while also not having had any serious gamedev/engine programming in almost a decade!

Anubias Nana Care Guide: Proven Tips to Keep This Plant Looking Amazing!

MY LINKS SOCIALS - https://glassboxdiaries.com/socials MY VIDEO REVIEWS OF PRODUCTS I USE - https://glassboxdiaries.com/amazonpage

Anubias nana is one of the most popular aquarium plants, loved for its hardiness, beauty, and adaptability. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced aquarist, this plant is an excellent addition to almost any tank. In this guide, I’ll share my experiences keeping Anubias nana in my 40-gallon, 12-gallon, and 8-gallon tanks, and offer tips to help yours thrive.

Part of the Anubias Barteri group, this plant is semi-aquatic, meaning it can grow submerged or emersed. Unlike some other Anubias species, Anubias nana thrives underwater, making it ideal for aquariums. It’s native to Cameroon, where it grows in wet environments, especially during the rainy season. While most nurseries recommend temperatures of 22-28°C (72-82°F), it’s been reported to survive as low as 12°C (54°F). I’m currently testing this by keeping Anubias nana in my 12-gallon tank over the winter.

A common mistake with Anubias nana is planting it incorrectly. This plant is an epiphyte, meaning its rhizome must remain above the substrate. Burying it in substrate can cause the rhizome to rot, leading to rapid plant decline. Instead, attach it to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscape using aquarium-safe glue or thread. This simple step ensures a healthy, thriving plant.

Anubias nana is often called a dwarf plant, but its size can be misleading. While some sources claim it grows to just 5 cm (2 inches), my experience aligns more with Tropica’s estimate of 5-15 cm (2-6 inches). I’ve had Anubias nana grow to 15 cm (6 inches) in my tanks, making it suitable for midground or background placement in smaller tanks and a versatile option for larger setups.

Lighting is one of Anubias nana’s best features. It thrives in low-light conditions, making it perfect for setups with budget LED lights or even ambient light. However, high-light setups can lead to algae growth on its leaves. To prevent this, add floating plants or canopy plants like Java fern to diffuse light. In low-light tanks, algae is rarely an issue, and Anubias nana requires minimal care.

This plant is highly adaptable to water parameters. I’ve kept it in softwater tanks at 25°C (77°F), hardwater tanks at 18°C (65°F), and even warmer setups at 27°C (81°F) with a pH around 7. However, I’ve noticed Anubias nana is sensitive to high ammonia levels. When I cycled two tanks using 2 ppm of ammonia, several plants melted. For best results, add it to an already cycled tank.

Anubias nana’s slow growth rate is another reason it’s so popular. It rarely needs trimming, making it a low-maintenance option for aquarists with busy schedules. Its slow growth also means it doesn’t require heavy fertilization. In most cases, fish waste is enough to sustain it. Advanced techniques like CO2 injection or regular liquid fertilizers aren’t necessary, making it a great choice for low-tech or budget-friendly tanks.

Tank mates are rarely an issue with Anubias nana. Reports of fish eating the plant are often due to nutrient deficiencies causing holes in the leaves. I’ve kept Anubias nana with shrimp, snails, bettas, and community fish without any problems. Even plant-eaters like plecos and goldfish typically leave it alone.

Propagating Anubias nana is simple but requires patience due to its slow growth. The most common method is division—wait for the rhizome to grow large enough to split into two plants. While Anubias can flower underwater, viable seeds only develop when grown emersed, so division is the easiest method for aquarists.

Overall, Anubias nana is a hardy, beautiful plant that’s perfect for aquariums of all sizes. If you’re looking for a versatile, low-maintenance addition to your tank, this plant won’t disappoint. Thanks for watching, and happy fishkeeping!

HOW TO SWITCH TO LINUX

So, we're going to go through this step by step.

Before we begin, let's keep a few things clear:

Linux is not Windows, it is its own system, with its own culture, history and way of doing things.

There are many "distributions", "distros" or "flavors" of Linux. What works for you may be different from what people recommend.

You'll want to read up on how to use the terminal; the basics an absolute beginner needs is short, but important. It's not hard to learn, just takes a bit of time and effort.

ADOBE DOES NOT WORK ON LINUX.

WINE is not a Windows Emulator, it should not be treated as such.

Proton is a compatibility tool built on WINE by Valve, which has its own compatibility database, called ProtonDB. It still isn't an emulator and can have quirks.

Not everything will work on Linux. Dead by Daylight actively blocks Linux players from joining a game, as an example. The Windows Edition of Minecraft is another. (But the Java Edition does!)

There are many FOSS alternatives to popular programs, but they may lack maturity and features compared to their commercial counterparts.

You might want to invest in an external drive. It'll keep your files safe and you'll be able to move all your files to a

Step 1: why do you want to switch? Are you concerned about privacy? Are you wanting to boycott Windows? Is 11 not an option for your hardware? Want to try something new? Be honest with yourself on what you want to do. Write down your hardware specs. You'll want to know what kind of processor, RAM, video card and memory you're working on.

Step 2: Make three lists: Programs you need for work, programs you use at home (that aren't games) and games you like to play. Check each of these for if they already have a Linux port. For games, you can check if it's Steamdeck compatible! For those where you can't find one or it's not clear, you can check for the program on WINE HQ and ProtonDB (for games.) Not all of them might be compatible!

There might be Linux-based alternatives for several things, but keep in mind that Adobe does NOT support Linux and does NOT work on WINE! Sea of Thieves and LibreOffice works, Dead by Daylight and Scrivener do not.

Step 3: Get a GOOD QUALITY USB drive stick! I recommend one that's at least 30 GB. That sounds like a lot, but operating systems these days are huge-but there's some fun stuff you can get. It's really important that you get a good quality one, not just a random stick off a reseller like Wish.

Step 4: Remember when I asked you why you were switching? Time to pick a Linux version. There is no "one, true Linux" version-the operating system is open, groups make their own versions and put it out into the world. If you're confused, check out Distrowatch. Read a list here. Download an option-if you have a few sticks around, try multiple ones.

Step 5: Plug in your USB and use either UNetbootin or Rufus to create your boot device. Rufus might be easier if you're not super computer savvy. When looking over the options, make sure there's some storage, set it to most of what's left. Take out your boot stick for now.

Step 6: Find out how to boot to your BIOS. Every computer has a BIOS. Check out your model of laptop/motherboard to figure out what it is. Arrange boot order so that your USB gets checked first.

Step 7: If you have an external drive, move all your personal stuff, game saves, etc to it or purchase cloud drive storage for it. Always back up your files, and with multiple methods.

Step 8: You aren't going to be installing Linux quite yet; instead, boot it up from USB. Note, it'll be a bit slow on USB 2.0, though a USB-3 device and slot should make matters easier. Test each version you're considering for a week. It is super important that you test! Sometimes problems crop up or you turn out to not like it!

Step 9: Once you find a distro you like and have tested, consider if you want to dual boot or completely wipe Windows. Some programs for work might require Windows or you might have a few games that ONLY work on Windows and that's perfectly fine! Just keep in mind, as of Windows 11, this option is not recommended. If you want to use dualboot, you want to keep Windows 10 and NOT update. There's great tutorials on how to make it happen, search engines should be able to point you to one.

Step 10: Fully install Linux and immediately update. Even the latest installers will not have the current security patches. Just let it update and install whatever programs you want to use.

Step 11: Enable compatibility tools in Steam if you're a gamer. File, options, compatibility. Also, check the Software Store in your OS for open source re-implementations for your favorite older games!

You're now a Penguin!

STARTUPS AND ESSAY

Symbols are effectively pointers to strings stored in a hash table. Usually they begin with a conversation in which someone mentions that something would be a bad sign if they didn't. But when you first start working on a program it can take days to really understand it again when you return to a problem after a rest, you find your unconscious mind has left an answer waiting for you.1 But what does that really mean? When I see patterns in my programs, I consider it a sign of trouble. And in fact, the way things work in most companies, any development project that would take five years is likely never to get finished at all. Use succinct languages. And what pressure it would put on the city.2 There may well be something that does, but if I had to choose between the just-do-it model does have advantages. Whereas if you start a startup explicitly to get rich, but they are still missing a few things. The total value of the companies we've funded is around 10 billion, give or take a few. Some people who've read this think it's an interesting attempt to write about something that hasn't been written about before.

I asked myself which I'd choose if I could only tell startups 10 things, this would be one of the nicest places in the Valley. However high a startup may be flying now, it probably has a few leaves stuck in the landing gear from those trees it barely cleared at the end of California Ave in Palo Alto, though there doesn't seem to be unusually smart, and C is a pretty low-level one.3 Now everyone can, and we can't be in a dozen places at once.4 The point is simply that there are more constraints. They want languages that are believed to be suitable for use by large teams of mediocre programmers—languages with features that, like the speed limiters in U-Haul trucks, prevent fools from doing too much damage. Blue staters think it's for sissies.5 And you know why? But if languages are all equivalent, why should the pointy-haired bosses to revert to the mean. -Self variety. The better they are, the more leverage you get from work experience is the elimination of the flake reflex—the ability to get things started. How much of a problem is each of these?6 Why only do it once?

Some of these we now take for granted, others are only seen in more advanced languages, and two are still unique to Lisp. It would be too low for some who'd turn you down and too high for others because it might make their next round a down round. Others say I will get in trouble for using it. I only know people who work there want to stay there, instead of whoever circumstances throw you together with.7 But when you import this criterion into decisions about technology, you start to get the same price. This essay developed out of conversations I've had with several other programmers about why Java smelled suspicious. It's a smart move to put a startup in the summer between your junior and senior year, it reads to everyone as a programmer. Which they deserve because they're taking more risk.8 7, though there is nothing to see outside. A good programmer working intensively on his own code can hold it in his mind the way a mathematician holds a problem he's working on. Let's take a look inside the brain of the pointy-haired boss?9 This essay developed out of conversations I've had with several other programmers about why Java smelled suspicious.

And so American software and movies are malleable mediums. Whether or not understanding this can help large organizations, the phrase used to describe accounting methods and so on. Let's run through an example.10 Unfortunately picking winners is harder than that. There are very, very few who simply decide for themselves. Would the transplanted startups survive? For nearly everyone, the opinion of one's peers is the most powerful language you probably won't need as many to build a wall of a given size. Could we have it both ways? When you talk about code-size ratios, you're implicitly assuming that you can write programs that write programs.

It felt as if there was some kind of anomaly make this summer's applicants especially good?11 It would improve the average startup's prospects by more than 6.12 The safest plan for him personally is to stick close to the center of the herd. It seems the clear winner for generating wealth and technical innovations which are practically the same thing. When you pick a big winner, you won't know it for two years. But maybe not.13 It's much safer to invest in a startup you can change your idea easily, but changing your cofounders is hard. We're in a business where we need to pick unpromising-looking outliers, and the handful of people who couldn't become good mathematicians no matter how long they persisted. In many technologies, version 2 has higher resolution. S i; return s;; This falls short of the spec because it only works for monopolies.14 We can afford to take at least half a million. Throw them off a cliff, and most will find on the way down that they have wings.

That's why we advise groups to ignore issues like scalability, internationalization, and heavy-duty security at first.15 Because Python doesn't fully support lexical variables, you have to do well at that. At a minimum, if you create a new variable s. What's going on?16 Two have already turned down lowball acquisition offers. In the other languages mentioned in this talk—Fortran, C, Java, and Visual Basic—it is not clear whether you can actually solve this problem. Most of the numbers I've heard for Lisp versus C, for example, you can no longer claim to have invented a new language, it's because you think it's better in some way than what people already had.17 In Microsoft's case, it was Ada. 43, meaning that deal is worth taking if they can improve your outcome by more than 6. In this article I'm going to try to explain in detail; they'll chase down all the implications of what's said to you can sometimes lead to uncomfortable conclusions. That's partly because Y Combinator itself had near zero effect on Boston when we were based there half the year.

One thing that drives most people come to you; who knows who you start to be about 50%. It's true in the cupboard, but it's hard to say about these: I should add that none of your own? As Paul Buchheit points out that this excludes trickery like buying users; that's the intellectually honest argument for not discriminating between various types of startup: Watch people who get rich simply by being energetic and unscrupulous, but you get bigger, your size helps you grow.

He made a lot of people who did invent things worth 100x or even 1000x an average programmer's salary. Especially if they seem pointless. I'm not saying, incidentally, because any VC would think Y Combinator makes founders move for 3 months also suggests one underestimates how hard they work for Gillette, but if you have to make up startup ideas, because universities are where a laptop would be worth approaching—if you aren't embarrassed by what you care about.

I'm not sure. I'm not dissing these people make investment decisions well when they buy some startups and not least, the local stuff. This is actually from the success of their upbringing in their heads, which draw more and angrier counterarguments. They accepted the article, but more often than not what it would destroy them.

Understanding Java Data Types: A Comprehensive Guide

Java, one of the most widely used programming languages, is known for its portability, security, and rich set of features. At the core of Java programming are data types, which define the nature of data that can be stored and manipulated within a program. Understanding data types is crucial for effective programming, as they determine how data is stored, how much memory it occupies, and the operations that can be performed on that data.

What are Data Types?

In programming, data types specify the type of data that a variable can hold. They provide a way to classify data into different categories based on their characteristics and operations. Java categorizes data types into two main groups:

1. Primitive Data Types

2. Reference Data Types

Why Use Data Types?

1. Memory Management: Different data types require different amounts of memory. By choosing the appropriate data type, you can optimize memory usage, which is particularly important in resource-constrained environments.

2. Type Safety: Using data types helps catch errors at compile time, reducing runtime errors. Java is a statically typed language, meaning that type checks are performed during compilation.

3. Code Clarity: Specifying data types makes the code more readable and understandable. It allows other developers (or your future self) to quickly grasp the intended use of variables.

4. Performance Optimization: Certain data types can enhance performance, especially when dealing with large datasets or intensive calculations. For example, using int instead of long can speed up operations when the range of int is sufficient.

5. Defining Operations: Different data types support different operations. For example, you cannot perform mathematical operations on a String data type without converting it to a numeric type.

When and Where to Use Data Types?

1. Choosing Primitive Data Types:

Use int when you need a whole number without a decimal, such as counting items.

Use double for fractional numbers where precision is essential, like financial calculations.

Use char when you need to store a single character, such as a letter or symbol.

Use boolean when you need to represent true/false conditions, like in conditional statements.

2. Choosing Reference Data Types:

Use String for any textual data, such as names, messages, or file paths.

Use Arrays when you need to store multiple values of the same type, such as a list of scores or names.

Use Custom Classes to represent complex data structures that include multiple properties and behaviors. For example, a Car class can encapsulate attributes like model, year, and methods for actions like starting or stopping the car.

1. Primitive Data Types

Primitive data types are the most basic data types built into the Java language. They serve as the building blocks for data manipulation in Java. There are eight primitive data types:

Examples of Primitive Data Types

1. Byte Example

byte age = 25; System.out.println(“Age: ” + age);

2. Short Example

short temperature = -5; System.out.println(“Temperature: ” + temperature);

3. Int Example

int population = 1000000; System.out.println(“Population: ” + population);

4. Long Example

long distanceToMoon = 384400000L; // in meters System.out.println(“Distance to Moon: ” + distanceToMoon);

5. Float Example

float pi = 3.14f; System.out.println(“Value of Pi: ” + pi);

6. Double Example

double gravitationalConstant = 9.81; // m/s^2 System.out.println(“Gravitational Constant: ” + gravitationalConstant);

7. Char Example

char initial = ‘J’; System.out.println(“Initial: ” + initial);

8. Boolean Example

boolean isJavaFun = true; System.out.println(“Is Java Fun? ” + isJavaFun);

2. Reference Data Types

Reference data types, unlike primitive data types, refer to objects and are created using classes. Reference data types are not defined by a fixed size; they can store complex data structures such as arrays, strings, and user-defined classes. The most common reference data types include:

Strings: A sequence of characters.

Arrays: A collection of similar data types.

Classes: User-defined data types.

Examples of Reference Data Types

1. String Example

String greeting = “Hello, World!”; System.out.println(greeting);

2. Array Example

int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; System.out.println(“First Number: ” + numbers[0]);

3. Class Example

class Car {     String model;     int year;

    Car(String m, int y) {         model = m;         year = y;     } }

public class Main {     public static void main(String[] args) {         Car car1 = new Car(“Toyota”, 2020);         System.out.println(“Car Model: ” + car1.model + “, Year: ” + car1.year);     } }

Type Conversion

In Java, type conversion refers to converting a variable from one data type to another. This can happen in two ways:

1. Widening Conversion: Automatically converting a smaller data type to a larger data type (e.g., int to long). This is done implicitly by the Java compiler.

int num = 100; long longNum = num; // Widening conversion

2. Narrowing Conversion: Manually converting a larger data type to a smaller data type (e.g., double to int). This requires explicit casting.

double decimalNum = 9.99; int intNum = (int) decimalNum; // Narrowing conversion

Conclusion

Understanding data types in Java is fundamental for effective programming. It not only helps in managing memory but also enables programmers to manipulate data efficiently. Java’s robust type system, consisting of both primitive and reference data types, provides flexibility and efficiency in application development. By carefully selecting data types, developers can optimize performance, ensure type safety, and maintain code clarity.

By mastering data types, you’ll greatly enhance your ability to write efficient, reliable, and maintainable Java programs, setting a strong foundation for your journey as a Java developer.

Ranking all portable ways to play Minecraft

Minecraft Java Edition (Steam Deck or other Portable PC): This is basically cheating, but it's super easy to set up on basically any portable PC, It's updated to the latest version, it has betas, it has full mod support, and the controls can be whatever you want thanks to Steam Input

2. Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition: this is the last version of Minecraft Legacy Console Edition, so it has all of the love and care that that version had, with the bonus of the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack. This version runs silky smooth with about a 10 chunk render distance, and has the easiest multiplayer on the list, assuming you can find other people with a discontinued version of Minecraft. This version of the game lacks a bunch of features because it was not updated past the Update Aquatic

3. Minecraft Playstation Vita Edition: I adore the playstation vita, and this is the other portable version of Minecraft Legacy Console Edition, although there are some limitations that come with being on weaker hardware, like Multiplayer being limited to 4 players, a slightly lower render distance (about 5 chunks), and a smaller world size. The game controls better than the Switch version because the Playstation Vita is more ergonomic than the Switch, but other than that it's basically the same game.

4. Minecraft (Android/IOS): Minecraft on Phones is better than you'd expect, but not much better, it has an 8-20 chunk render distance depending on the speed of your device and how okay you are with frame drops, which speaks to how much less stable this version of Minecraft is compared to the Java and Legacy Console Edtions are. There is mod support, but it's really lacking, and you are updated to the lastest version of the game. However, the touch screens just do not give Minecraft justice, so you would need a bluetooth controller, which have latency on both Android and IOS. Minecraft Bedrock Edition is missing a lot of the love found in the Legacy console versions, which really hurts it in the ranking.

5. Minecraft New Nintendo 3DS Edition: Despite sounding like a legacy console version of Minecraft, it isn't, this one was developed by Other Oceans Interactive, and thus is also missing a lot of the love found on the Legacy Console Editions. this is also the least updated version of Minecraft on this list being stuck in the World of Color Update, it's also the weakest system Minecraft has ever had an official port for, being about as powerful as an Xbox or Wii, and that leads to a lot of technical limitations. Like the 4 chunk render distance and the fact that the game freezes when it autosaves, it also hangs in some worlds when large structures are being loaded. the controls are about as good as you could reasonably expect for a 3DS, and you get used to them very quickly. The UI is strange and in some parts unintuitive. Multiplayer is about as easy as it can be on a handheld because of the 3DS' Download Play feature.

6. Minecraft (Nintendo Switch): This is the version of Minecraft that replaced the Legacy Console Edition, and it's bad, the render distance is 7 chunks and even then the game is quite framey, the touch screen literally does nothing, not even the presses buttons on the main menu. Multiplayer is somewhat easy in terms of split screen, but it makes the performance even worse, and the online features are barely there, (except for the marketplace, that works perfectly). The game is unstable, I've played for about 5 hours and in that time I got 7 crashes to the switch's home screen.

1.     Define Clear Objectives:

Begin by defining clear objectives for your Android app development project.  Identify the target audience, the app's purpose, and the specific goals you aim to achieve.  This clarity will guide the development process and result in a more focused and effective application.

 2. Embrace the Material Design Guidelines:

Google's Material Design guidelines provide a comprehensive set of principles and guidelines for designing visually appealing and intuitive Android applications.  Adhering to these guidelines ensures consistency, enhances usability, and delivers an optimal user experience.

 3. Optimize App Performance:

Performance optimization is crucial for user satisfaction.  Focus on optimizing app loading times, minimizing network requests, and implementing efficient caching mechanisms.  Profiling tools like Android Profiler can help identify performance bottlenecks and improve overall app responsiveness.

 4. Follow a Modular Approach:

Adopting a modular approach allows for easier maintenance, scalability, and code reusability.  Breaking down your app into smaller, manageable modules promotes faster development, reduces dependencies, and enhances collaboration among developers.

 5. Implement Responsive UI Designs:

Designing a responsive user interface (UI) ensures that your app adapts seamlessly to various screen sizes and orientations.  Utilize Android’s resources, such as ConstraintLayout, to create dynamic and adaptive UIs that provide a consistent experience across different devices.

 6. Prioritize Security:

Android app security is of paramount importance.  Employ secure coding practices, authenticate user inputs, encrypt sensitive data, and regularly update libraries and dependencies to protect your app against vulnerabilities and potential attacks.

 7. Opt for Kotlin as the Preferred Language:

Kotlin has gained immense popularity among Android developers due to its conciseness, null safety, and enhanced interoperability with existing Java code.  Embrace Kotlin as the primary programming language for your Android app development projects to leverage its modern features and developer-friendly syntax.

 8. Conduct Thorough Testing:

Testing is crucial to ensure the reliability and stability of your Android applications.  Employ a combination of unit testing, integration testing, and automated UI testing using frameworks like Espresso to catch bugs early and deliver a robust app to your users.

 9. Optimize Battery Consumption:

Battery life is a significant concern for Android users.  Optimize your app's battery consumption by minimizing background processes, reducing network requests, and implementing efficient power management techniques.  Android's Battery Optimization APIs can help streamline power usage.

 10. Implement Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD):

Adopting CI/CD practices facilitates frequent code integration, automated testing, and seamless deployment. Tools like Jenkins and Bitrise enable developers to automate build processes, run tests, and deploy app updates efficiently, resulting in faster time-to-market and improved quality.

 11. Leverage Cloud Technologies:

Integrating cloud technologies, such as cloud storage and backend services, can enhance your app's scalability, performance, and reliability.  Services like Firebase offer powerful tools for authentication, database management, push notifications, and analytics.

 12. Ensure Accessibility:

Make your Android app accessible to users with disabilities by adhering to accessibility guidelines.  Provide alternative text for images, support screen readers, and use colour contrast appropriately to ensure inclusivity and a positive user experience for all users.

 13. Optimize App Size:

Large app sizes can deter users from downloading and installing your application.  Optimize your app's size by eliminating unused resources, compressing images, and utilizing Android App Bundles to deliver optimized APKs based on device configurations.

 14. Implement Offline Support:

Provide offline capabilities in your app to ensure users can access essential features and content even when offline.  Implement local caching, synchronize data in the background, and notify users of limited or no connectivity to deliver a seamless user experience.

 15. Implement Analytics and Crash Reporting:

Integrate analytics and crash reporting tools, such as Google Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics, to gain insights into user behaviour, identify areas for improvement, and address crashes promptly. This data-driven approach helps in refining your app's performance and user engagement.

 16. Keep Up with Android OS Updates:

Stay up to date with the latest Android OS updates, new APIs, and platform features.  Regularly update your app to leverage new functionalities, enhance performance, and ensure compatibility with newer devices.

 17. Provide Localized Versions:

Cater to a global audience by providing localized versions of your app.  Translate your app's content, user interface, and notifications into different languages to expand your user base and increase user engagement.

 18. Ensure App Store Optimization (ASO):

Optimize your app's visibility and discoverability in the Google Play Store by utilizing appropriate keywords, engaging app descriptions, compelling screenshots, and positive user reviews.  ASO techniques can significantly impact your app's download and conversion rates.

 19. Follow Privacy Regulations and Guidelines:

Adhere to privacy regulations, such as GDPR and CCPA, and ensure transparent data handling practices within your app. Obtain user consent for data collection, storage, and usage, and provide clear privacy policies to establish trust with your users.

 20. Regularly Update and Maintain Your App:

Continuously monitor user feedback, track app performance metrics, and release regular updates to address bugs, introduce new features, and enhance user experience.  Regular maintenance ensures that your app remains relevant, competitive, and secure.
