and how much of this troubled history is linked to Java Applets/native browsers extensions, and how much of it is relevant today?

Yep but:
it’s one runtime, so patching a CVE patches it for all programs (vs patching each and every program individually)
graalvm is taking care of enabling java to run on java
Or rather a Dunning Kruger issue: seniors having spent a significant time architecturing and debugging complex applications tend to be big proponents for things like rust.
Why? What’s wrong with safe, managed and fast languages?
I’m with you. Hg-git still is to this day the best git UI I know…
Report, as disinformation/propaganda/not news, hoping mods are not looking the other way
The important figure isn’t the total, but the fraction of GDP that goes into real estate, which is disproportionate in the case of China, for the reasons I mentioned, and more (another major one being the land leased by local governments to serve as their de facto revenue stream)
I have no idea what this is about, but was kotlin native considered here? And what ruled it out in favour of rust?
I’ve seen multiple JVM languages going the route of AOT/native compilation and now taking the spot of systems languages in some use cases (CLI utils, low footprint “cloud native” stacks, things requiring tight os-level integration) with often outstanding performance.
Not like “many other countries” but expectedly much worse: real estate has been de facto where most Chinese have been concentrating their wealth as “investment” in the absence of better local alternatives and the inability to invest abroad.

What’s the deal with you, exactly? Are you denying the many substantiated academic reports of environmental damage caused by rare-earth extraction and refining as part of some anti-China conspiracy? Just so I know if it’s worthy of my time to engage at all.
care to elaborate? The rest of the world definitely has higher environmental standards (and, more importantly, enforcement of them) than China. And that is a significant driver of the cost. You should read about the history of the PV industry in Germany before throwing insults.
What do you believe is so unique about China’s PV production that couldn’t/haven’t been reproduced by the rest of the world? I mean, other than the ability to undercut developed countries by ignoring externalities and the damage caused to the environment by the extremely polluting extraction and refining process…
Don’t get me wrong, I’m as happy as the next guy for more renewable, but here we are cheering for the kleptocrats.
That’s seriously overlooking decades of Linux being optimized for embedded/mobile/cloud/desktop… computing and billions having been invested in engineering efforts by companies like Google, AMD, Nvidia, MediaTek, Intel, Facebook, Microsoft, Red Hat, … for which every bit squeezed out of the hardware means millions in operating costs saved. Sure there are niches where Linux isn’t the best fit for the job, but with such widespread usage and support, you are almost guaranteed to be reaching peak performance for whatever device it’s running on, with the category of devices HarmonyOS is targeting being amongst the one having the most eyeballs.
I don’t believe anything, I want numbers and hard evidence, and then you’ll see me cheering.
That, or what you get when you let an unhealthy breed of MBAs and bean counters run an engineering company for their and friend’s short term profit.
If this community ever wants to be taken seriously, shouldn’t it forbid random users from modifying the title of linked content?
Mercurial* and no, GitHub never supported hg, that was kind of the distinguishing feature of bitbucket back in the glory days of VCS plurality.
Now if you need mercurial hosting, heptapod (a friendly fork of gitlab with mercurial support) is a great way to go
Per Capita equivalent CO2 emissions is quite high, but measurably on the decline as a result of more efficiency (mentioned in the article)
You obviously fall into the trap of believing that hard science cares about politics, and that money thrown at problems as part of national strategic planning magically solves them. But for anyone else legitimately interested in understanding the topic better and having a glimpse at its complexity, those are great resources:
If the above is too advanced, this can serve as a good primer and answers “how the heck did we get there”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt9NEnWmyMo
Also, I never wrote that China will never get to EUV (or eventually something beyond that), just that it will take a very long time, because the complexity is spread across several very distinct scientific disciplines, integrating them is a challenge of its own (again, watch the videos), and packaging this into a system that meets the scale and reliability requirements to make it commercially viable hasn’t been reproduced to date.
Not exactly a surprise, then. And good luck for the Russian’s arm industry bouncing back, considering its performance on the battlefield and its interleaving with western tech that it hasn’t managed to decouple itself from since 2014. China’s only taking a reasonable stance there.
