Workaround for Java 8 crashing in macOS 14.4

1 point

Since last upgrade, I am having serious problems using PyCharm and other Java based tools. PyCharm crashes at least once per hour.

I saw Oracle's post and I wondered if I could something about while someone addresses the problem. reference: https://blogs.oracle.com/java/post/java-on-macos-14-4

I added `-Xnojit` to PyCharm initialisation and since then I had at most once crash per day. Performance takes a notable hit, but the IDE is at least usable. I tried using -Xnoat but that was unusable.

Just wanted to share with you folks. Maybe it is useful for someone. I am also curious to know if that helps anything.
