the_hoser commented on Minecraft removing obfuscation in Java Edition   minecraft.net/en-us/artic... · Posted by u/SteveHawk27

And there's no way to do only the optimisation part? Surely you could optimise without messing up class and method names..?
the_hoser · 2 months ago
One of the biggest optimizations it offers is shrinking the size of the classes by obfuscating the names. If you're obfuscating the names anyway, there's no reason that the names have to be the same length.

"hn$z" is a heck of a lot smaller than "tld.organization.product.domain.concern.ClassName"

And it puts a red "M" hat on if you search for Mario.

An art lost to the ages. Granted, their purposes were so different than they are today. Most of them would be replaced by a social media presence today.

It's probably that nobody with the ability to pull it off really cares enough to try. Lots of obscure devices never get jailbroken.

The problem is that in order to attract developers to create those apps, you need users ready to buy those apps. The price of the Vision Pro is still the ultimate limiting factor for its success.

That's a whole lot of airtime for an autobiography. Hubris, much?

Is it not in the governments interest to implement the cheapest, best system to enable all citizens to easily pay taxes? The IRS knows basic taxes better than anyone so certainly they are the most equipped to handle this program instead of the private sector?

You presume that the people in charge have the best interests of the government in mind when they make their decisions.

Page and Brin have consistently escaped blame for things that Zuckerberg and Musk are excoriated for. It turns out that you just have to lie low, instead of jumping up and down for attention in the press or on social media, and people will obligingly forget that you exist and have effectively full control over your giant, society-dominating company.
the_hoser · 5 months ago
This is it 100%. Zuckerberg and Musk aren't doing anything more awful than Page or Brin, but they're smart enough to understand that it's WAY easier to get away with sketchy stuff when you're not someone that the average person knows about. There's a huge amount of value in keeping your mouth shut.
