on: Abuse of the nullish coalescing operator in JS/TS
It seems Rust's unwrap is the exact opposite of ?? "". It throws an error instead of using a fallback value, which is exactly what the author suggests instead of using ?? "".

If you use the the Gradle wrapper, it will use the correct version and download it if necessary. If I'm not mistaken, that's the recommended approach.

Impressive. Funny that one thing they got wrong is cars becoming smaller instead of bigger.

on: Push notifications – What to push, what not to push, and how often
It shows, though it's a bit obscure. Long press the notification, then press notification settings. It will scroll you down and highlight the notification channels item. Press on it. After a second, it will highlight the channel the original notification was belonging to.

on: Push notifications – What to push, what not to push, and how often
Android forces app developers to categorize notifications (the API is called notification channels). Each channel can be muted individually in the system settings. Though it's up to the app makers to correctly categorize their notifications, in my experience most apps do this.
Whenever I see a spam notification, I immediatelly go mute the channel and the problem never repeats itself.

on: Virtual Threads: New Foundations for High-Scale Java Applications
Does you library use any of the JDK's blocking APIs like Thread.sleep, Socket or FileInputStream directly or transitively? If so, it is already compatible. The only thing you should check is if you're using monitors for synchronization which are currently causing the carrier thread to get pinned. The recommendation is to use locks instead.

on: V-memo a new directive to improve your Vue 3 app performance
That's exactly what Vue does (unlike say React). Only those parts of the VDOM are updated whose dependencies changed. v-memo is mostly for lists and cases where updates should be delayed for reasons like flickering.

You can always add Cloudflare to the mix to cache static assets. This change is additive meaning you can start with a single Heroku deployment and if static asset traffic becomes an issue, you can create a Cloudflare account, configure DNS and be done.
