enoqregarding value classes: they are copied when returned from a method, correct?
enoqor is there some kind of optimization that uses pointers once it goes beyond a certain size?
dreamrealvalue classes in what context?
dreamrealThis got brought up on reddit recently, is why I ask, where a professor apparently is arguing the wrong thing
enoqah, not referencing reddit
dreamrealthat's fine, the question remains
dreamrealI was explaining why I was asking
enoqcorrect me if I'm wrong, but my impression is that value classes are allocated entirely on the stack
enoqso if I create a big one holding a lot of ints and what not, it's going to perform a lot of copies
dreamrealagain, what do you mean by "value class"
dreamreala record, an immutable?
enoqproject valhalla
dreamrealokay, that's what I was looking for
dreamrealI do not know your answer
enoqmaybe memcopy is so fast when your memory is nicely laid out that it doesn't matter unless you hit a really big chunk
dreamrealmy guess is that a bag of ints is a bad candidate for a value class, but like I said, I do not know
dreamreal~pbv
javabotIn Java, all parameters are passed by value. For a simple explanation see here https://bit.ly/2B1KVuo [cheeser's blog] or a more technical explanation see https://bit.ly/2VaGXGR.
enoqpointers are copied I guess since they're cheap and primitives are also copied
dreamrealenoq: the pbv thing was for me, I was curious what the bot had on it
dreamrealwasn't trying to inform you :) I figured you knew already
enoqah, thanks :)
dreamrealin the reddit thing, a professor is confusing copies of references with "pass by reference," which is unfortunate for a professor
enoqto be fair there are a lot of different ways to pass stuff
dreamrealOf course
dreamrealbut java's is well-known and has been consistent for literal decades - it wouldn't have occurred to me to wonder if valhalla changes that, but what do I know
Parare: pass by value, for the _logical_ behavior better description would be pass value by reference, but in that specific corner of the CS domain that doesn't make sense... :)
ParaI've long ago settled on it works logically and without suprise.
dreamrealI'd say it was pass references by value, you dumbie!
Para...yes
ParaAlso could I be a dumble instead, it's delicious (it's a chocolate+taffy candy)
ParaOr Dumle? Damn, maybe I _am_ a dumbie.
dreamrealno, but dumble amps are *fantastic*
dreamreal~karma eclipse
javaboteclipse has a karma level of -694, dreamreal
dreamreal~karma idea
javabotidea has a karma level of 179, dreamreal
dreamrealChronos: ^^
Chronosdreamreal: hahahaha good point :)
Chronos(Even if I don't necessarily agree with those results)
dreamrealI think it's a little unfair to eclipse, which is why nevet's karma works like it does :D
dreamrealin nevet, for eclipse to KEEP that karma it would have to be CONSTANTLY maintained at that level
gas51627hi all. Could you please advise a java playground that can run java code and also allows sharing the link to the runnable code?
gas51627the standard java playground does not allow sharing the links unfortunately: https://dev.java/playground/
javabotgas51627's title: "The Java Playground - Dev.java"
dreamrealokay, you prrrrrrrobaby want to actually present a problem statement
gas51627i am bragging
dreamrealbecause otherwise we're looking at going "oh look it's code"
dreamrealokay, oh look it's code :D
gas51627it statically checks that Duck sort of implements my interface.
gas51627With this code I can define an interface and than check that Duck sort of implements it.
gas51627If Duck does not implement it, then the compilation fails.
gas51627(sort of implements it)
dreamrealOkay. How is this USEFUL, though? I mean, I guess you're forcing the compiler to validate it... but you're binding a lot of bits of the compilation unit together, which doesn't scale well
gas51627it's for hibernate stuff and it wants methods with the same name on the interface as on the class.
dreamrealnot to harsh on anyone's mellow
gas51627"you're binding a lot of bits of the compilation unit together" what do you mean?
dreamrealwell, you have the interface, which has to know about the entity, and the interface then can say "I'm going to require the open extension fulfill this requirement"
gas51627what is the "open extension" in this case?
gas51627the class right?
gas51627the Duck
dreamrealyeah
dreamrealit has to be extensible, which fits, honestly, given the scope you're talking about
gas51627yes indeed the Duck must be open
gas51627that is, it must be extendable, otherwise I couldn't create that "check extension".
dreamrealyes
dreamrealand given HIBERNATE, that makes sense
gas51627indeed, the extended class the Duck must be extendable. Extension can be open or closed.
gas51627basically, the thing is, that in spring -jpa, I can provide projection interface to project my entity, with some of the properties from the entity. With this, I can declare the projection and then statically check that MyProjection will work with this entity.
gas51627so I just wanted to send my colleague a link to that snippet, but couldn't find how to send it. So thanks a lot.
dreamrealOf course, and good work!
gas51627thank you
NeXeNwhat's up
ParaCPU prices, GPU prices, RAM prices, and how HDD prices.
Para*now
ParaI also somehow broke my page up.
yamadajava dies
yamadaram prices :D
ParaAverage Electron app takes more RAM than an average Java webapp these days.
yamadaelectron rescues java
ParaSome sort of JavaFX Electron shim thingamajig would actually probably be pretty nice.
dreamrealhmm, i haven't needed to buy ram recently at all
dreamrealwhy would you need java/electron though?
ParaWell, it's now ridiculously expensive so better hope such need doesn't arise.
ParaAI ate all the hardware.
* dreamreal is on mac so there
dreamrealall the ram that went away is on others' hardware
ParaThat's the grand plan.
ParaDon't sell hardware to people anymore, make them rent everything.
NeXeNPara: javafx has a chromium based webview, and there's also jcef
NeXeNwait, is it chromium or webkit based ? i forget now
NeXeNi would like to build jcef apps, use java as the surrounding buttons and inside the webview, so i can built FE apps normally. dukescript lets you go between. i've done it before but for a simple uh like in-house app that was to track something silly but pertinent
NeXeNAOT can get your footprint smaller, but javafx unfortunately uses a lot of reflection, though it will work with gluon and stuff, it's a pita to manually do
