As always: never run containers as root. Never expose ports to the internet unless needed. Never give containers outbound internet access. Run containers that you trust and understand, and not random garbage you find on the internet that sh

I used to frequent a bar where the staff had Java Rings to authenticate with the register. Touch the ring to the register, enter the order, done. Sadly the bar no longer exists.

I'm finally wrapping up a little webdav tool that's been on my todo list for years. It's just a simple tool to copy directories over webdav. I tried using Cadaver but I kept running into strange errors with it. And this one t

Maybe mapping is very useful to you. The lack of it hasn't bothered me in the slightest. You also don't need mapping (or internet access) for obstacle detection. But I find that the old dumb roomba's bumpy nature is a good mo

I was rather happy with my old, dumb Roomba. It just bounced around until things were clean. No cloud required. No mapping. No AI marketing foo. Seems like all the newer alternatives want internet access and send maps of your premises to so

This seems to happen quite often. Not just with Apple, but also with Google. In spite of this obviously insane behaviour, EU governments want to rely on Apple and Google for smartphone-based electronic government IDs.

Pretty sure that was meant as a joke. Mouth breathing is not a cause of sleep apnea, but it can be a consequence. Bad pillows and bad sleeping positions aren't causes of sleep apnea either, but some people do have "positional slee

I recently attended a security training where the trainer had a slide showing how Linux has more CVEs per year than Windows. He used this as an argument that Linux is less secure than Windows. People lacking basic knowledge about statistics

I'm getting the impression you're conveniently ignoring how piss poor HTML/AJAX/JS capabilities were back then, or even how slow internet speeds were. Applets could do things that JS could not. Some bank applets did clie

What's going on with these comments? So much ridiculous and unwarranted bashing. Is someone feeding the trolls? Is 4chan down? Yikes.

Receiving DMARC reports is just as hazardous. I frequently receive spam, phishing, malware, etc on my DMARC reporting addresses. I'm somewhat surprised I haven't seen any zip-bombs in DMARC reports yet. Rejecting DMARC reports fro

There is a pretty good social safety net, at least in Belgium. Though its funding is under pressure due to high spending and taxes being pretty much maxed out already. And while I could probably start a company and be reasonably sure that I

Some anecdata from Belgium: the software market is dead. Hardly anyone is hiring. Rates have plummetted. There are (virtually) no startups. Big corpos are hiring in Southern and Eastern Europe instead, when they're not outsourcing to I

50m³ is huge. IMO that would be an engineering challenge that would probably impact the sability of the foundation if not done right. Ground source heat pumps are expensive because of the buried piping, I imagine this would be even more cos

Density has some obvious advantages. It also has a bunch of disadvantages. The millions of people living there seem to think it's worth the tradeoff, at least to the point of having enough inertia not to move elsewhere.

Surely that's a conscious design decision? Deciding to create data-carrying POJOs with JPA annotations is a valid strategy. Mixing in a bunch of logic and non-JPA state with them is a recipe for disaster. If you want your classes to Do

Does it have to be? Java is a hybrid paradigm language. It's perfectly fine to write data-oriented code. And if you're using an anemic model, there's no point paying the overhead price of fully fledged classes.

by elric 11mo ago
It doesn't have to be a class. It can be an interface. And regardless of what it is, it has to go somewhere. Whether it's in assorted_functions.c or Permissions.java makes little difference. I mean it makes sense to group "li

Permissions.transfer(x, y, z) I'm not sure why having a global function by the same would make this any easier or harder to implement. But it would pollute the global namespace with highly specific operations.

A lot of that is down to how people rely on frameworks that force them into "convenient" abstractions. Like Spring and Hibernate. But those are not the language. They represent a (vocal) subset of programmers. You don't need
