Every so often Apple does something I don't like, or else I take a look at current iPhone prices, and I toy with the idea of switching to a Pixel for my next phone. But inevitably, within a week or two, Google will do something that ma

It's a shame that on VS Code at least (I'm not sure if this applies in other contexts), the "textual healing" feature goes hand-in-hand with ligatures. There is no way to enable textual healing if you prefer not to use

There was absolutely nothing "collective" about the early web. 180-degrees the opposite. You're not going to recapture that ethos, either for the overall Internet or even for a smaller interested subculture within in, by ma

I don't think "the majority" matter, in the context of what parent commenter is talking about. I generally subscribe to the idea of Eternal September ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September ), w

Where are we at on Podman these days? If I recall, Podman really caught fire with this community after Docker started trying to charge more people for software. But then Red Hat (i.e. Podman's sponsor) started trying to charge more pe

In fairness, you are omitting the list instantiation, and collecting only a count rather than an assignment of results. Apples to apples, your alternative algorithm would be implemented like this: words.stream().filter(w -> !w.isE

Even slowed down to 0.75x speed, it's like watching a street hustler shuffle three cups around with a little ball underneath one of them. When the narrator says, "It's that easy!" , I want to punch them in the face.

The fact that school provides ancillary benefits beyond education is great. But portraying those as the primary mission, and the education as an ancillary benefit, IS pretty jarring. I don't homeschool, but I balk at that argument to

I don't think anyone wants to read you and your buddies' discussion of Cities: Skylines II and Super Mario Wonder. They're irritated by all the open-source projects replacing their mailing list, forum, or wiki with "Just

I'm a backend developer, so pardon my ignorance. I'm reading here that this basically a thin wrapper on top of the Web Components standards, which I've been reading about for nearly 15 years now. So this makes me wonder...

> "I was agreeing with you on the benefits of Java/Spring while still disliking it..." Very well. You seemed to saying that Spring was far less attractive than some unnamed alternative, and I was trying to say that I do

> "...it was occasionally a significant annoyance to pass dependencies by hand..." Your comments are confusing on whether you eschew a dependency injection framework, or eschew dependency injection as a pattern in general. If

I'm always interested in hearing people's alternatives. Modern C# and ASP.NET is likewise annotation based. Most contemporary Python frameworks heavily leverage decorators, which is just another name for annotations. Decorators

1. Hibernate isn't even part of Spring. You're free to use a newer ORM like jOOQ if you like, or Spring Data JDBC if you want to get closer to the raw SQL. This gets to what I was saying earlier... usually when I encounter someo

I'm not sure what "no compile time safety in this stack" even means in the context of a strongly-typed compiled language. If you are referring to the dependency injection container making use of reflection, then Spring Native

Long-running server processes are not only "not an issue" for the JVM, they're the main use case in which the JVM is superior to AOT compilation! Same is true for C# and the .NET CLR, by the way. If you're running a L

FYI - Your two primary alternatives are LastPass and 1Password. The former of which is melting down due to security flaws, and the latter has raised roughly $1B in VC money: https://techcrunch.com/2022/01/19/

Really surprised by this as well. So many comments are of the generic nature, "<COMPETING PRODUCT> is miles ahead" , without any specifics on what that's supposed to mean. My last few employers have used LastPass and

Java's been my bread and butter for three decades now, and I often wonder this myself. Virtually all of the job postings that I ever see are using Spring, and I don't have a single known person in my professional network who is u

Does EVERY desktop application really need to run on mobile? Some apps are just... call me crazy... desktop apps! (NOTE: "native vs. browser-based" is separate distinction from "desktop vs. mobile".) That's not to

The article links to a free Usenet provider. I'm sure there are others also. The purpose for a PAID Usenet provider is for hosting binaries (i.e. piracy). You're paying someone for the bandwidth, and ignore or deal with the DMCA

It is conceivable that we might have organ replacement for the most commonly failing bodily organs, and cancer treatments that come close to the term "cure". It is inconceivable that any of this will be available to 90+% of the hu
