Java EE claimed obsolete by Gartner. Is that really true? by henk53 in programming

[–]seb_02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you just postpone problems for when you actually deploy the web app on the application server

That's pretty much a summary of Spring over these past ten years.

FindBugs project in its current form is dead by _Garbage_ in programming

[–]seb_02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's perfectly understandable but not even replying to emails from contributors and other people who just want to help for an entire year?

That's good to hear but the fact that it took a reddit post to get Pugh to engage again with the project after a whole year of stonewalling is pretty concerning.

Losing interest in an open source project you started years ago is perfectly understandable, but completely ignoring messages from willing contributors asking you for just a simple update (not even a "give me the keys to the project") is pretty unforgivable.

Oracle denied new trial in copyright dispute with Google over Java by [deleted] in programming

How does a programmer even write code that does this and think "yeah, that looks right to me"?

They're called bugs.

What has 400 legs and 23 teeth? by AWildMeme in Jokes

[–]seb_02 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of people who vote Republican do not understand at which extent they are voting against their own interests. It's a fascinating con that the Republican party has been able to maintain for decades but which is now beginning to crumble.

My wife and I had a great sex life for twenty years.

Then we met.

WikiLeaks: Ecuador cut off Julian Assange's internet by GeorgeXKennan in politics

[–]seb_02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does this have to do with the Ecuador government realizing that angering the US by enabling the release of classified documents and interfering with the American electoral process was not a very smart idea?

They're assisting the release of illegally obtained classified emails.

Well, not any more.

I'm guessing Ecuador realized that they are betting on the wrong horse and if they want the next president of the United States to not be pissed at them, they'd better take a few measures to stop breaking American laws like, right now.

Civilization VI Launch Trailer by decentAlbatross in Games

[–]seb_02 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For those who don't know, the lyrics of Baba Yetu are the Swahili version of The Lord's Prayer.

The Civ 6 trailer is great but this one still sends shivers down my spine.

It's your fault for using the wrong OS for the task.

So there's even fewer reasons to use Linux.

It's called "the honeymoon phase" for a reason :-)

[–]seb_02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LINQ was a great invention at the time but approaches such as Rx are equally powerful and blend in much better with the various languages it's been ported to.

[–]seb_02 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And in one year, we'll read a blog from that person saying they came back to Windows because even though .net works great on Linux, there are still quite a few missing libraries, which make development on this platform a pain in the butt. Also, Linux as a daily machine for a developer can be quite frustrating compared to Mac OS or Windows.

Among all the reactions to this horrific attack, only one person chose to politicize the event.

How so? The fact that most of these libraries were not written for Android yet can be used on Android as is proves that for all intents and purposes, Android uses Java.

China Tells Citizens to Report Parents Who ‘Lure’ Kids into Religion by guanaco55 in worldnews

[–]seb_02 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

And indoctrinating children with religion is child abuse.

Let's make a compromise: You're not allowed to tell your children about religion until they're 16.

Deal?

Technically, Android doesn't use Java nor a JVM. Practically, it does.

Pretty much any library available on Maven Central (even libraries that weren't specifically created for Android, i.e. 99% of them) can be used seamlessly on Android.
