Haha, OpenJDK is wholly owned by Oracle. There is no separate legal entity. License wise it's GPL w/ CPE.

I bet in corporations this is already happening. But in public frameworks and such it will never happen since each generation wants to write their own framework.

I had that laptop. Amazing screen (and a tank of a laptop). Back then other other cool thing was the 17" MacBook Pro. It was glorious.

... but if developed countries are asking developing countries to reduce their emissions it means they are implicitly asking for a price raise too, no? So, why not do that?

I don't know the specifics but it sounds to me like making a VirtualBox product that is fine-tuned for macOS, including guest drivers for smooth integration (like VirtualBox Guest Additions). If the user provides the IPSW files, I do

This is a good approach except it breaks the link from the TODO location to the issue. Are you replacing the TODOs with an URL for the issue or something like that? How do you know a file has issues/todos by just looking at the file in

But nobody is forcing you to print or use your security codes. If you ignore then and your hardware key is broken/lost you are forever locked out. Which you mention is preferable, sometimes. So, you are against things. What are you fo

Oh, this is just the freemium offer for the "pro" version which is $99/$39 per user. Wish somebody would donate to the Tango iconset for a remake and a whole load of new icons.

I'm having a hard time figuring out what kind of scenarios you are securing against. The recovery code, just like the hardware 2fa, does not work unless you know the password. So you want to secure against people that live with you, kn

Nonsense, the household hacker can also find your YubiKey. Much easier than a single piece of paper.

+1 Also note that without some vacation you are slowly drained which leads to less productivity which leads to no contract renewal. Burnout is also a real risk. I would use the vacation to perhaps find a 2nd customer even if for a few billa

The whole idea of having a hardware token is to separate what's at hand. Having the recovery codes in the password manager seems like a bad idea. Google recommends printing them.

I didn't look into it very much back then. They were giving free hosting and subdomains back when such a thing was expensive and jumped on it for my homepage. Somehow I saw the Google cache of my page and it was surrounded by ads. So t

I assume your bank has a physical place you can go to in order to get another token and you have a proper business relationship with them and somebody will ID you. But many other sites have no other alternatives to recover so the recovery c

Seems reasonable. The cheap YubiKey is $20 (over $30 with tax and shipping) while the series 5 YubiKey is $50-$70. And I assume Yubico is capable of making much bigger (aka cheaper per unit) orders.

The way two factor auth works is that you register your hardware key and you also get 10 one-time-usage recovery codes which you can use instead. So, if you lose your YubiKey, you can still login 10 times using a recovery code. Presumably d

Management was doing all right: the project was late and over budget. So, money was there. But I suspect money never reached the developers. Until the late panic stages when it was too late to correct course.
