The only argument why fast typing could be important that comes to my mind is that you're less distracted (from thinking) if you can type fast without looking at your keyboard. If you're payed by lines of code, than it's a di

It is somewhat funny that the Twitter CEO uses a picture to circumvent the character count limit of his own service.

Yes, I know (although they promoted it as a "systems language", but it was not really defined what that should mean in the beginning), but it is a restriction, you don't have in Rust. Basically, Rust can do everything Go can

Rust is the more elegant and powerful language. Creating a new language and repeating the "billion dollar mistake" by including null (sailing under the brand name "nil" in Go) is just crazy. Error handling is another str

That sounds like a case for regulation. If the support fee doesn't exceed a certain level, it would be hard to much money with support. Basically it should only cover actual costs, because it would unethical to earn money from problems

The article ignores the fact that you can have use case specific resources and/or views with REST, too. If you're only interested in a picture and a title from a book, you could crete a content type that includes just that. And ad

The rant is really about how bad Google went or how good SEO experts are today. Google search results are basically unusable for some subjects and Google should fix it, if it doesn't want to end up like Altavista!

That depends on the context!

The bas thing with existing third-party URL shorteners is that they might (and do) go out of business at any time! I'm not sure whether we need a standard for it, but it might be a good idea to be indendent of such external services. A

I've been a fan of Hugo (even if I don't like the strange Go template engine), because it offers a lot like tagging, generation of overviews etc. But Hugo breaks backwards compatibility on a regular basis and I'm bored of &qu

This article seems to attract Spring sceptics or even haters. Spring is not that bad. First, XML configuration in Spring is mostly a thing of the past. Most applications are configured with annotations and component scan these days. While i

It is pretty easy to run into truble with user accounts due to privacy regulations like Europe's GDPR. This stuff is definitly not fun in a side project.

PMD and Sonar are not that good in detecting possible NullPointerExceptions. You would need something like the Checker Framework additionally. The (not) nullability story is much better in Kotlin.

I really think that Oracle does a great job with Java! It looks like they'd have a pretty clear roadmap with what is really important for Java in the long run. Just think about virtual threads (project Loom), or values types (project V

You name it! Most of the code I've written in my carrier was for projects eventually canceled.

At least it wouldn't hurt to always have some flowers around for the next Google project entering the Google Graveyard ;-) (I don't expect that Fuchsia would end there any time soon.)

by cryptos 5y ago
I thought Google would no longer follow the idea to replace Android with Fuchsia. Do you have a source for this statement?

You'd probably need to trust more software vendords, but at least the synchronization in a single-user setup is pretty easy with some cloud storage service (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.).

I think Java could profit from an integrated client/server framework like Microsoft's Blazor for .NET. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/?view=as...

But Oracle bought Sun (and Java) only in 2009. In the last 3 to 4 years there was not much going on.

Maybe the story is not finished yet. New approaches like JetBrain's Compose ( https://www.jetbrains.com/de-de/lp/compose-mpp/ ) with a React inspired programming model might bring some new interest to the

In fact Oracle saved Java. Sun was struggling and Java was stagnant at the time. There was hardly any big innovation in the last years under (the) Sun. Java Modules started in the Sun age, but they didn't get it out of the door. J2EE &
