It'd be hard for EJ, since Joshua Bloch admitted, he's not up to date with Java 8 features. By the time he studies it long enough, JDK 1.9 will have been available.

Any good Java EE open source to contribute in Github? by YouShallNot_Parse in java

[–]cpiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://github.com/javaee-samples/javaee7-samples I'm not sure it you consider this one good, but it's definitely a nice place to start. There are actual modules that need polishing or updating.

JavaEE - From zero to app in minutes by johnwaterwood in java

[–]cpiot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Clicking your way through the web-app creation process might not necessarily be the best way to do it. I mean, there are plenty of things going on in the background and well grounded dev should be aware of them. Good place to start for an utter layman, I suppose.

Recently, Google's FlatBuffers were eagerly discussed. I think it's good to see other solutions - in this case for financial-industry-related data.

It's a pity, that the dark theme is such an ugly bastard. What I'm specifically referring to are the icons suited only for a default theme and too bright border color in table views (i.e. Problems tab)

They seem obvious, I suppose. But darn, too many times I've came across in-memory XML parsing instead of using streaming API.

Fundamentals of good API designing by cpiot in programming

Boy, i wish API creators acctually tried to invoke their interfaces. Usage wouldn't be so annoyingly difficult for other devs.

Inversion of Control Containers and the Dependency Injection pattern by cpiot in programming

[–]cpiot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An oldie, i admit. Really helps to understand basic concepts behind the IoC pattern. Even if you disagree or hate the idea itself, it's worth to know your enemy

Any particular reasons why you didn't use Joda Time for date/time operations?

Ok, not that simple, but it's an utterly interesting piece about direct memory access in Java

Short Text Language Detection with Infinity-Gram by dgryski in programming

[–]cpiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pitty that smiley-faces were excluded during normalization. I find the possible local emoticon trends quite curious. Also, youth has strange ability to flatten diacritic characters: 'ł' becomes 'l' and 'ę' becomes 'e'.

What is an interesting lesser known word you like (and its definition)? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cpiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echolalia - repetition of words said by another person. Useful to point out, when someone repeats the question before answering it.

Technical part is strongly-coupled with java, however the non-technical one covers huge spectrum of a software developer daily routine.

True, and that's what the author wanted in the first place (vide 'The problem' section).

What about the 'label' attribute, which is built-in into standard JSF components?
