    Java Star
AI Thread Summary
To move a 2D star in a JFrame while properly erasing its previous position, two main techniques are suggested. First, before updating the star's position, repaint the area with the background color to effectively erase the old star. Second, implementing "double buffering" can help manage the rendering process, reducing flicker and improving the visual quality of the animation. These methods will ensure smooth movement of the star within the frame.

Although I haven't done much Java programming recently, I think one of the following suggestions could be used.

1. Before updating the position of the star, you could first paint it the background color.

2. Alternatively, you could implement "double buffering".
 
Ah.., I see it now, thanks for your suggestions ..lol..

Thread 'Touch-typing for programmers'

What percentage of programmers have learned to touch type? Have you? Do you think it's important, not just for programming, but for more-than-casual computer users generally? ChatGPT didn't have much on it ("Research indicates that less than 20% of people can touch type fluently, with many relying on the hunt-and-peck method for typing ."). 'Hunt-and-peck method' made me smile. It added, "For programmers, touch typing is a valuable skill that can enhance speed, accuracy, and focus. While...

Thread 'Microsoft Technical Interview question'

I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
