Java was not underhyped in 1997 (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-17 05:37:50

Java Criminally Underhyped? Not Back in 1997. Earlier today, a fun little moment of Twitter serendipity alerted me to an article by Jackson Roberts, a computer science student at the University of Colorado, entitled “Java is criminally underhyped”. It’s a really interesting article, and Jackson’s observations correlate with a lot of my own thinking about languages and platforms, although I am squarely in the .NET / CLR camp on that particular front. But Jackson ends his article: I am curious

ZDNET's key takeaways The OnePlus Pad 3 starts at $699 for the 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage configuration. It's got a larger battery and display this year, as well as an updated Qualcomm chipset. The tablet is an OLED panel, a fingerprint scanner, and a floating keyboard case away from perfect.

Other Tablets to Consider Photograph: Nena Farrell Google Pixel Tablet for $399: Google has a spotty history with Android tablets, going from the highs of the Nexus 7 to the, well, distinct averageness of the Pixel Tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends). The 10.2-inch LCD screen is one of the highlights; the size and 439-gram weight are just right for carrying around, and Google’s fuss-free Android software is simple and logical.

Bitcoin Bought in 2011 Suddenly Springs to Life After 13 Million Percent Increase In Value

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-12 08:30:38

Two Bitcoin wallets that remained untouched for more than a decade just sprang back to life — and whoever owns them is now filthy rich in crypto. As MarketWatch reports, each Bitcoin was worth just 78 cents back when the unknown buyer purchased 20,000 tokens in 2011 for just under $16,000. Due to the digital currency's inexorable rise over the subsequent years, the extremely patient owner of the two "Sleeping Beauty" wallets where the Bitcoin was stored now holds more than $2 billion worth — a

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-08-12 08:00:40

In a delicious turn of events, scientists succeeded in taking the optics of olive oil to create the first-ever microlaser made entirely from edible materials. If commercialized, they could offer an easy and safe way to monitor food or medications from inside your body. The technology, introduced earlier this month in the journal Advanced Optical Materials, exploits an interesting tendency for droplets of common cooking oils, which emit a photon of light when subjected to a certain amount of ene

Google is testing a smaller, more reachable Gemini overlay on tablets

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-15 12:26:50

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a UI update for the Gemini app on Android tablets that shrinks the size of the overlay. The new overlay is about one-third the width of the screen instead of two-thirds and is anchored to the right side. This updated interface only applies to the standard Gemini experience and seems to be part of a slow server-side rollout. There are a lot of AI chatbots you can talk to these days, but I personally use Google Gemini on all my dev

OnePlus tablets are getting one of Android’s best, and one of its worst, productivity features

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The latest OxygenOS 15 update brings Google’s Circle to Search and a new floating taskbar to the OnePlus Open and OnePlus Pad 2. Circle to Search allows users to quickly search anything on their screen by tapping, highlighting, or drawing over it. The floating taskbar, while aiming to balance productivity and screen real estate, lacks a quick toggle to switch styles and on tablets, it requires disabling gesture navigation for the fixed version.
