Ooh, are you gonna go for their Ubuntu touch alternative, or their own OS?

Minecraft builds their servers using Micronaut! It's such a breath of fresh air compared to spring.

I've only ever had to debug spring DI once, I'll admit it usually works. But when it doesn't..... All those proxy objects will drive you nuts!

It's a very clever solution really.. And that's the problem! You don't want to build your servers on a clever foundation, you want a simple one!

Java is fine, but spring boot is an abomination. Give micronaut a go and see for yourself!

When I first saw the headline, I thought it was referring to the servers and thought, damn, that is impressive!

Then I realised that it was a bit too impressive.

The possibility that a website would use 2.4gb ram did not even occur to me. What is it even doing with all that memory?

For reference civilisation 4 is runnable with 2gb ram.

I... Kinda think this will work out ok? Hear me out: Linux is open source. Someone's gonna make an application/kernelmodule that lets you configure your reported age on a application/website basis.

In some jurisdictions it's illegal to target kids with advertisement, and I believe also to track them? Reporting your age as 8-12 is gonna be the new, but actually functional "no tracking" header.

Setting your age 8-12 probably bans you from using Gmail and other online services

That's why you give different ages to different sites.

Can minors really not have email accounts?

https://support.google.com/families/answer/7103338?hl=en Google's policy is that under 13 you can have a supervised Gmail account. I think that's fairly standard for major providers

Depends on the jurisdiction I guess, now that we’re Balkanizing the internet.

"configure your reported age on a application/website basis."

8-12 will be used to argue that age verification isn't enough. They are pushing this stuff to track everyone, especially children.

For what it's worth, the California law, though definitely a result of Meta-funded lobbying, is fairly explicitly anti-tracking: it requires that the OS accept whatever the user enters for their age, and that it tells apps the user's age bracket (under 13, 13-16, 16-18, 18+) and nothing else, and that apps use that and only that for any kind of age-related functionality.

That last part actively pre-empts apps from any of the ID collection/biometrics stuff like Discord's been trying to pull, though don't ask me how that's supposed to work when it conflicts with other state laws that want to mandate collecting ID info.

More likely, there's a optimal amount of sun that you should get to live the longest and Sweden provides less sun than that.

This is especially likely since, as another commenter pointed out, they corrected for wealth factors already!

Stockholm is at 60N, the university that did this study, Lund, is at 55N. If you live further south than that, you might be getting optimal, or even more than optimal, amounts of sun even without sunbathing.

The study was on Swedish women. I've heard doctors tell me before that it's more likely to die early from not enough sun then to die from skin cancer(due to too much sun), if you're a Swede.

We don't get much sun up here!

If you live somewhere further south (Stockholm is at 60N, so you probably do), your milage is very likely to vary.

What's your moat with any software these days?

things that make it non-replicatable. But an AI-made app is pretty much replicatable. Maybe the moat would be the network effect, but that shows up later, not at the time of investment.

Yeah why are all these people considering evidence in the first place? Have they no faith? $ONLINEGURUINFLUENCER said AI can only produce slop so it must be true!

What does Linux kernel Devs know about real software development anyway? [1]

Andecdotes are not evidence; failing to see that within a few paragraphs is golly-gee-whiz why don't you just trust this noname person.

I have no clue where that link even came from, I haven't read anything about the git cli in ages!

I made a new post with the correct link. Here it is for your reference: https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/26/greg_kroahhartman_ai_...
