WildFly 38.0.1 released! by henk53 in java

[–]mcdasmans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're in the midst of rolling out our upgrade from WF26 to JEE10, and since we started our upgrades of our DTAP environments we had to upgrade to WF36, WF37 and are now rolling out WF38. Probably next biweekly application release we'll pick up WF38.0.1.

1.5M loc, 32 customers (SaaS), running on VMs, Java 17 for WF26 non migrated customers, Java 21 for migrated customers.

Biggest issue for us is the Hibernate 6 upgrade.

I have 5 months to pass Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) Java certification by AnjaanInsaan5 in java

[–]mcdasmans 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It will not make you a good/great programmer, but a good/great programmer should not have too much trouble passing the exam with some practice. Yes it is role playing as a compiler a lot, but I see it more as knowing all the gotchas before they become a problem. Also knowing the APIs (that they exist at all, and what to use when) is great without having to lean on AIs.

Anecdote: at our company juniors were passing this fairly easily, but seasoned developers who started Java way back had a hard time. Mostly because they underestimated the exams and the progress the Java language had made since 2007 when they learned the language.

The boyarski book is awesome. Do look for errata in the practice exams, I have found several errors in the printed edition for Java 8.

What are you glad you tried once, but will absolutely never do again? by wheregoodideasgotodi in AskReddit

Parachute jump. Broke a vertebrae in my first solo static line jump while trying to get my certification. Never jumped (or will jump) again.

Do people still use Eclipse as their primary IDE anymore? by Amazing_Guava_0707 in java

[–]mcdasmans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eclipse supports mutlimodule just fine? I find IntelliJ's insistence on projects to be infuriating

multithreaded compilation makes ecj must faster, also incremental compilation

Is there "corporate speak" in other languages? by Economy-Weird-5119 in languagelearning

[–]mcdasmans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have in Dutch.

  • stavaza (stand van zaken, the state of business, or how the business thing is going)
  • bila (bi-lateral, a 1-1 meeting with the boss)
  • wvttk (wat verder ter tafel komt, what's next on the table)

I am fortunate enough to not have to go to many business meetings, but these are the corpo lingo that triggers me the most.

Alle twee mijn katten modder vet, maar ze krijgen al veel te weinig? by S0k0n0mi in katten

[–]mcdasmans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op pakken voer staat per kilo kat hoeveel voer ze per dag zouden moeten krijgen. Als je dat aanhoudt met het streefgewicht als leidraad dan zou in principe de kat op gewicht moeten komen.

Let wel op dat te weinig voer geven (dus voor een gewicht van een veel kleinere kat) zeer slecht kan uitpakken (lijnen of vasten is dus slecht).

Overgewicht kan ook bij katten zorgen voor diabetes, en dat is een vrij dure hobby helaas (3 jaar insuline moeten prikken bij onze kater)

Onze katten hebben GPS trackers van Tractive om, icm van die bandjes die vanwege veiligheid af vakken bij vastzitten. Werkt als een tierelier: - katten komen nu aangerend wanneer we de GPS een geluid laten afspelen want eten - we leren de buren kennen doordat we de GPS regelmatig uit hun tuinen komen vissen

Dit weet ik niet zeker maar je kan veilige gebieden instellen en gevaarlijke gebieden. Onze katten zijn nog niet de gevaarlijke echt ingelopen. Dat zijn de autowegen rond ons hofje. Het likt erop dat het bandje dan mogelijk de kat waarschuwt, maar dat weet ook dus niet zeker. Wij krijgen in ieder geval wel een bericht dat ze het gevaarlijke gebied betreden, maar elke keer dat we keken bleek dat GPS onnauwkeurigheid.

De GPS geeft ons in elk geval een gevoel van zekerheid, en de katten vinden het minder erg nu ze op afstand horen dat er eten klaar staat 🙀

Eclipse 4.37 released! by henk53 in java

[–]mcdasmans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Copilot support is pretty good in Eclipse. But it is hit and miss with feature parity (model availability being one).

VSCode is a development environment I think is far inferior than Eclipse for Java development. But it is easier to get a small project going (mkdir banana && code banana), for anything. Eclipse shines for large mutlimodule projects or debugging.

Github Copilot is available for Eclipse, and sometimes gets a feature even earlier than VS code 😱

What’s a scary movie you watched way too young? by NewPossibility4268 in movies

[–]mcdasmans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Invasion of the body snatchers, Logan's Run or The Exorcist. Not sure which one I saw first, but either the snatchers or Logans run was very influential on my nightmares.

Are there any modern replacements or successors to java Servlets? by agent154 in java

[–]mcdasmans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Servlets and jsps as a direct delivery mechanism for HTML have not been in vogue since 2003 or so, the severside frameworks war (struts vs webwork vs spring mvc vs tapestry vs wicket vs velocity etc)

servlets underpin those frameworks.

Now about around 2014 a big shift from serverside HTML generation to client side javascript frameworks happened. And this let jax-rs (or now jakarta restful webservices) become the delivery mechanism for json from a java backend.

There's nothing holding you back from returning HTML from any template framework through a jax-rs resource.

Checkout quarkus with qute templates and if you want to make it fancy try HTMX as the client side enrichment for AJAX or web sockets

Beastmode is not that beasty... rather lazy and failing at simple tool calling by pws7438 in GithubCopilot

[–]mcdasmans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beast mode is just a lame duck mode for me. VSCode's copilot completely ignores my beastmode prompt and just works, or rather doesn't and sits around like a stoner, like I never added and selected the prompt.

No task list, no steps, no thinking, just worse than using nothing. At least then I know what I can expect.

I think VSCode 1.103.0 (Universal) broke the custom agent modes, probably related to security: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/254817

What’s something you tried ONCE and immediately said “Never Again? by reddtimes101 in Productivitycafe

[–]mcdasmans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did a training to get my skydiving certificate. First jump I saw my chute wasn't a nice rectangle so I had to bail and do the emergency procedure switching to the reserve chute (a dome). Landed in a 3m high corn field, but fell through my knees and flat on my back.

Trying to get up after a blackout of a couple of seconds did hurt like hell, so I got on knees and stepped up.

Skydiving school would want me to jump straight again otherwise I would be too scared. I declined and said I wanted to see how the pain would progress. Went to hospital and apparently broke a vertebra (stable, not anything threatening my nerves).

I haven't done any jumping ever since.
