In my experience, that is the unusual case, not the ordinary case. Further, when that would happen, it is typically obvious that some bigger change has occurred which required the automated procedure to be updated and tested.

The automation might, in some cases BECOME the documentation.

Automate repetitive tasks that can be automated. A task may take ten minutes. Automating it may take hours, and thus seems too expensive. If this task is going to be done many times, then the automation WILL pay off. Running the automate

I used Pascal for the 80's and part of the 90's. Currently use Java. I almost tried Delphi, but my shop moved on to something else between Pascal and Java.

Yes. But having the compiler enforce it is your first line of defense. If it doesn't compile, you know there is an actual problem. In modern IDEs, you see these compile errors as quickly as you type them.

Each upgrade after 11 has had good reasons to upgrade. More and more Java source language features that make your life easier by small incremental bits in each upgrade.

Isn't RAID a way of storing all of the zero bits on one drive, and all the one bits on the other drive? That makes replacement of a bad drive much easier.

If you upgrade, jump directly to Java 11. That may or may not be easy. But it was easy for me. After that there was no effort to upgrade to all subsequent versions, to this point.

The reason we will fail to contain it is because we don't have any test kits. So we don't know the true rates of infection. Policy: ignorance is bliss! It looks better to have lower numbers.

I specifically remember that float was not available. It was a big effort to overcome that to have basic trig functions good enough to make an "asteroids" type game. I read about it not being available. The textbooks said so. I

J2ME was missing floating point. Remember the flip phones and candy bar phones of the 2000s prior to the iPhone? I remember having to use an int to have 16 bits to left and 16 bits to right of "binary point". Then have simplist

Is source code available?

by DannyB2 7y ago
Even with those restrictions, it might be useful. Just as J2ME was useful. Write the performance critical parts in this restricted subset to leverage the hardware capability. Write the rest of the application in ordinary JVM languages.
