Any calendar which doesn't reference the fact that there are 12 lunations in a year is missing the point. Ok 12 & 1/3 but still closer to 12 than 13.

Honestly, if that's what it takes to make something work with Typescript I'm surprised anyone uses it. I thought Scala/Cats was the only language/cult that indulged typism to this extent. **d save us from the static typi

Similar to Microsoft's volte face supporting Linux after over a decade spent trying to destroy it by bankrolling SCO's lawsuit and peddling their own bogus Linux patent racket.

Just because Ruby acolytes Dave Thomas, Jose Valim and Chris McCord championed Elixir that doesn't make it Ruby's successor. The languages are poles apart beneath the surface syntax. Crystal has more of a genuine claim. I also thi

This is the dark side of dealing with Apple. They won't take responsibility for anything. I bought my partner and iPhone 11 Max Pro and shortly after the warranty period ended a vertical band of light appeared spontaneously on the scre

That doesn't subtract from my point, ie. that React and Node have been mainstream for many years and continue to dominate in the jobs market so how anyone with these skills can say they're not keeping up with front-end tech doesn&

I don't quite get this. The highest number of JS jobs are in React and Express which are over 10 years old.

Static typing zealots have butchered perfectly good dynamic languages like Python and Ruby in recent years after M$ took over Javascript like Russians invading Ukraine. Even Ruby ffsake. Soon Clojure will be the only refuge for us devs who

I don't understand how your skillset is lacking if you're an experienced React/Node developer. Here in the UK recruiters are falling over each other trying to hire.

"inject an entitymanager"?? I don't even have any entities, just a db I want to query with raw sql.

It was the @Query annotation which finally killed Spring for me. So I have to stuff all my SQL into an annotation now if I want raw JDBC? Madness. **ck that.

Google "SCO lawsuit Microsoft". For years around the same time Microsft also extorted huge sums from Red Hat and Suse Linux for unproven patents which they claim Linux source code infringed. The two companies figured it would cost

I was thinking more about @RequestParam validation eg. fun calc1(@RequestParam @NotNull @Size(max=10) @Pattern(regexp = "^\\d{4}-\\d{1,2}-\\d{1,2}$") date:String, @RequestParam @NotNull @Size(max=5) @Pattern(re

Yes, the scandalous SCO lawsuit and subsequent Linux patent racket make it impossible to believe M$'s Linux fud.

What's the relevance with respect to Java, though, which is designed for managing projects in large teams?

Here's a typical example of the pain of Java language evolution. As an ex-Perl developer and frequent user of Ruby and Python I am accustomed to being able to write a regex without having to escape metacharacters such as \d (digit) and

If Javascript produces much better UX than Swing/JavaFX then surely that's the right tool for the job? SPA with Angular or React isn't the only choice anymore as Hotwire/Stimulus and similar libraries (Unpoly, Inertia, h

.Net 6 runs on Linux with, for example, PostgreSQL so how is that tied to M$?

Microsoft's multi-platform play is only skin-deep. Witness the lag in features for Visual Studio for Mac which will not be getting .Net MAUI compatibility until a long time after the Windows version.

Spring Boot is still Spring with its annotation madness. Take parameter validation, for example. Crazy, full-screen-width multiple annotations stuffed inside the method parameter list. What on earth is wrong with doing validation as other f

Seconded. Clojure was a real turning point for me but be warned - once you have the veil lifted re OOP you'll not want to work with Java/C# ever again.

I'm not really a fan of Java but isn't a comparison with Elixir and Python a bit apples to oranges?
