This Windows 10 Setup Script turns off a bunch of unnecessary Windows 10 telemetery, bloatware, & privacy things. Not guaranteed to catch everything. Review and tweak before running. Reboot after running. Scripts for reversing are included and commented. Fork of https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script (different defaults). N.…

### UPDATE: For Win 11, I recommend using this tool in place of this script:

JVM + Invokedynamic versus CLR + DLR

Too much for teh twitterz :)

JVM + invokedynamic is in a completely different class than CLR + DLR, for the same reasons that JVM is in a different class than CLR to begin with.

CLR can only do its optimization up-front, before executing code. This is a large part of the reason why C# is designed the way it is: methods are non-virtual by default so they can be statically inlined, types can be specified as value-based so their allocation can be elided, and so on. But even with those language features CLR simply cannot optimize code to the level of a good, warmed-up JVM.

The JVM, on the other hand, optimizes and reoptimizes code while it runs. Regardless of whether methods are virtual/interface-dispatched, whether objects are transient, whether exception-handling is used heavily...the JVM sees through the surface and optimizes code appropriate for how it actually runs. This gives it optimization opportunities that CLR will never have without adding a comparable profiling JIT.

So how does this affect dynamic

Detect a tap on a URL inside a UITextView. Note: the rs_links method isn't included -- you'll need something that takes text and returns an array of detected links. This gist just demonstrates walking through the UITextView characters.
@implementation UITextView (RSExtras)
static BOOL stringCharacterIsAllowedAsPartOfLink(NSString *s) {
/*[s length] is assumed to be 0 or 1. s may be nil.
Totally not a strict check.*/
if (s == nil || [s length] < 1)
return NO;
// 1: how could you rewrite the following to make it shorter?
if (foo) {
bar.doSomething(el);
} else {
bar.doSomethingElse(el);
}
$dontcare = git fetch origin --prune
$branches = git branch -a --merged |
?{$_ -match "remotes\/origin"} |
?{$_ -notmatch "\/master"} |
%{$_.Replace("remotes/origin/", "").Trim() }
if (-not $branches) {
echo "No merged branches detected"
exit 0
}
