significantly less likely in cases of mass shootings, e.g. schools.

PSA - if you delete your cookies, HN gets it easier. Or just test it in a private window.

It did work without being logged on. The auth service appeared to be down as the log in attempt (just showing the page) failed.

Now it makes sense. I was puzzled about why it was working on the phone browser and not on my system. I'm logged into HN on my system.

esp32 with 'free' (built-in) wifi/bluetooth is just so much easier to work with. That was my experience a few years back.

The first esp8266 I bought was as a dedicated wifi chip for an arduino (or something) project. I discovered after getting it, that it came with a 'free' MCU (that was default flashed with a UART/AT-command firmware to allow other MCUs to get wifi)

funny indeed, as the add-on card (esp8266) is a lot more powerful than an Arduino.

Java is easy - named after the coffee beans of the coffee they used to drink...

CVS (noticed already mentioned by a sibling comment) is just an abbreviation.

Python - well Monty Python

Java was originally called Oak but its creator because he could see an oak from his office, but marketing people at Sun thought Java would be more catchy. Yes it's named after coffee beans, but it has no relation whatsoever to the language or the way it was created, it's just a marketing name.

I can totally see how that was an obvious decision in the 90s, the coffee shop craze was just taking hold in America, and it was such an exciting and fashionable thing to do to sip espressos and lattes.

And before the rise of heavy IDE, you need some coffee to write all those SomeObscureWord.longLongStuf.notSoShortOne.LastSentence()

Imagine a parallel world in which Java is called Oak and it's actually nice from inception, not just like nice after decades.

compared to C, java was quite nice

Yes, I am simply highlighting that programmers have not used descriptive names consistently... well, ever (reinforcing the point the GP made).

The entire premise of the OP is simply wrong.

The assumption implies the median of the people's age who frequent HN is higher.

> I'm considered old here, in my mid 30

That's absolutely not true. It was awkwardly funny to read that.

I've been the oldest guy on several teams in row now, starting in my early 30s. FAANG/startup culture skews very young

>I can't imagine writing anything of substance primarily in groovy.

That's solely based on a poor imagination, not trying...

Have to agree with the previous person. Never saw a relevant project made from Groovy. Even with Beanshell I've included it a few times in other projects for basic scripting/customization within the app but groovy? Never in 15 years to now.

I think embedding and testing/plugins/DSLs really is the main use-case. It's a terrible fit for a CLI tool if you've got to wait for a JVM to boot up, especially in a world where people are now used to those kinds of things being instantaneous rust or go binaries.

We use the Spock Framework for testing. It's the best testing framework in the JVM, no joke.

that would be very culturally/industry specific. Personally, I do call it javascript.

Yeah definitely cultural. IME it's called JS only in chat as a shortcut. IRL people say "javascript"

Aside already mentioned comparison to unordered_map, there appears to have a bug, on line 61: "p = (p + 1) & LenV". It should be mod (%) like the rest of the code.

Morealso mod is slow in general and it should be replaced by bitwise and (&) and power of 2 sized map, then using LenV-1.

>Hats off for decomiling Java apps that mostly predate generics and annotations... both of which were added in 5.

the 1st very famous and good decompiler was written in C. Other than that generics and annotation didn't not make the work easier at all decmopilation wise
