16:46 xCA7BABE5 [18:36] <mr_pacific> java can be quite polarizing
17:32 pdurbin :)
17:45 pdurbin The other day I was listening to http://www.javaoffheap.com/2017/11/episode-28-back-from-javaone-with.html and they were saying that Java 9 is not a long term release.
17:48 aditsu what does that mean?
17:58 pdurbin It says "9 (non-LTS)" at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
17:59 pdurbin "For releases after Java SE 8, Oracle Java SE product releases not designated as LTS releases will only be maintained until the subsequent release."
18:00 aditsu wth is java 18?!
18:00 aditsu oh, year-based
18:01 pdurbin heh, it's going to take some getting used to
18:01 xCA7BABE5 are they changing versioning again? :P
18:01 aditsu that's just begging for Y2100 problem
18:01 aditsu or Y3K
18:01 pdurbin It's going to be more like Ubuntu releases in terms of names based on years and LTS vs non-LTS.
18:01 xCA7BABE5 Futurama
18:03 aditsu so.. java 9 is out already?
18:07 aditsu btw, I use a yyyy.mm.dd versioning system for a bunch of small libraries
18:08 pdurbin Yeah, they talked about it at JavaOne.
18:09 aditsu if it's not in portage, it doesn't really exist for me :p
18:10 pdurbin I wonder how the various Linux distros will treat Java 9, since it's a non-LTS release.
18:16 mr_lou I would prefer to never have it, so....
18:17 aditsu I haven't fully switched to java 8 yet, so I'm not really concerned
18:17 mr_lou :-)
18:21 aditsu much of my code is still java 6-compatible
18:25 pdurbin We took a swing at upgrading our app to Java 9 but now that I know it's a non-LTS release, I'll probably be recommending that we wait until the next LTS release is out (fall 2018, looks like, according to that link above).
18:34 aditsu you should take a javafx instead ^___^
20:26 * xCA7BABE5 wonders how big the overhead of SoftFP vs HardFP is on the ARM
20:26 xCA7BABE5 it boils down to the following
20:27 xCA7BABE5 HardFP is floating point operations done in hardware, as taken for granted on the x86
20:28 xCA7BABE5 SoftFP is floating point operations turned into a system lib call
20:28 xCA7BABE5 up to the lib/OS to implement the said calls
20:29 xCA7BABE5 that could be in software(soft emu of floatingpoint operations, slow)
20:29 xCA7BABE5 or in hardware(with the overhead being the function call)
20:30 xCA7BABE5 attempting to use HardFP libs in SoftFP environment and viceversa is a no-no
20:30 xCA7BABE5 because calling conventions and shiet
20:31 xCA7BABE5 I ask because
20:31 xCA7BABE5 J2SE Embedded 7 is offered in 2x2 flavours
20:32 xCA7BABE5 Headful and Headless, SoftFP and HardFP
20:33 xCA7BABE5 J2SE Embedded 8 is offered only as Headful HardFP, Headless SoftFP/HardFP
20:33 xCA7BABE5 Headful means you can run GUI
20:33 xCA7BABE5 Headless means you can only run CLI apps
20:43 xCA7BABE5 I expect the overhead of function call to be significant
20:44 xCA7BABE5 based on experience with Gervil on Embedded :p
20:48 * pdurbin groans
20:49 pdurbin aditsu: maybe I should try javafx some day
20:50 pdurbin I'm not very good at building GUIs. I'd like to try some different frameworks.
