Those units pull in air from the side of the wall and exhausts it straight out. As long as they’re placed so wind helps carrying everything away they should be fine.
Is there a reason Android studio is so fucking resource hungry? XCode is running way better with a simulator open and the other Jetbrain IDEs are just fine as well and so is any other virtualization. It’s just Android Studio that sucks somehow.
But they are slow. At least when you’re doing a lot of things at once on your machine (I run ~20 “microservices” for my local dev environment because it’s a goddamn distributed monolith, most of them are JVM). IntelliJ often grinds down to a halt. Other software on my laptop runs fine. Firefox doesn’t get slow at all.
It has been shown to run faster in some benchmarks. This is usually due to hotspot optimizations performed at runtime by the VM, but also sometimes thanks to offloading the (often costly) deallocation of memory from the main thread. Since Java has a GC running in a background thread, the deallocation of memory occurs outside of the measured execution.
However, I remain convinced that while burst execution of a computation can perform on par with a language like C or Rust, the total resource usage of Java code is significantly worse. When taking into account the entire execution including GC and JIT compilation, it will have spent more memory and/or CPU cycles. It’s harder to quantify, but the overall performance experienced by the user becomes worse. Fans run more and battery time is lower.
And yeah, I’d say Java libraries are generally more poorly written than e.g. their Rust counterparts, for example not paying attention to the CPU cache (which is hard and sometimes impossible since Java still lacks value classes).
It’s not stopping but it’s kinda annoying to see one group trolling others. Yeah, the app has paid features that I can’t even afford to pay. But I simply don’t care and just use it with other FOSS app.
Most of the lemmy users are adults who are tech savvy. If one alternate is not fit them, they know their alternatives or know how find them. Let us not behave like a bunch of edgy teens.
I’m sure it has some good features, I’m one of those that just downloaded Reddits client and lived in ignorance about the third party clients.
I tried Sync and saw the placeholder advert boxes, and thought this is too much like Reddits client, and then I have to pay for removing them, maby I’ll just use some of the alternatives.
Personally though, I had tried most Lemmy apps on Android before Sync came out, and found the experience to be lacking. Honestly, I was close to bailing on Lemmy entirely, assuming it just wasn’t for me. Sync was exactly what I needed in terms of UI and organization, and I’m happy to pay the dev for the work they do on it.
