The only JDK you might be able to download from them without needing an extended support license is JDK 12 - and that is only until October 16th. Every other JDK/JRE version, from 6u211 to 11.0.4 only has the patched versions availabl

It goes on clothing, not skin. I'm not pestered by it.

If you get the signature bull's eye, you are lucky. My kid got it and we were able to recognize the textbook bite signature, in addition to her high temps and fever symptoms. They were able to test for Lymes and then aggressively do

Early in my career, I went to an open house sort of thing. Hit it off chatting with one of the chief architects who basically cut through all the red tape and got me a position. A couple weeks after starting work, I get a rejection letter

Lord knows I was part of the 3% who had not canceled the DVD portion of the subscription until this Spring. Had 4 DVDs just collecting dust for way to many months. Anyhow... was one of the folks who actually still did DVDs. I've got

Flying in bumpy weather, the touch screens can be tricky to do precision presses. End up having to balance your finger on the edge of the Garmin and then touch. I can imagine rough seas being a similar issue.

Man... I do about 2-3 screening interviews a week. Always fun when you hear them furiously typing on a mechanical keyboard when they are trying to answer how they did something on their last project. I've had people cheat by printing

There are some older apps that just work on WINE and little else. I have an old Garmin GPS simulator used in some of the planes I fly. Would run on XP64, but Window 7+ could not mimic the settings well enough to get it to work even with t

I know a couple of the folks doing this sort of coding and while I'll tweak my APIs to be in the 10s of milliseconds they are tuning for nanosecond optimization. Crazy to see code where the speed of light is becoming a bottleneck.

The article graphic has an annotation that said audio port - be nice if that really is the case.

Hah. So years back, I was going to buy a car. Went to the bank and they wanted (what I considered to be) a ridiculous service fee for a cashiers check. Fine... I'll take cash from my account! Ah, need a couple days to do that sort

Of all the maths I use pushing code, statistics are likely the skills I keep using the most. Not required, but helpful.

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area has some of the same issues. Campsites inside an 'easy to get to' area are just stripped. Trees cut down, bark stripped off of trees, the fire pit seating hacked at, and food stuffs from washing on

The SteamOS distribution actually works really well, once you get the bloody terminal working. It does a brilliant job of getting the audio and (proprietary) video drivers working. Under the covers it seems like it was jut stock debian. #

I was shocked how fast it actually was. In the VB6 days, it was only slightly slower than the lovingly crafted ATL C++ code for some of the COM component development. It was crazy - rough out a VB component in a few hours, then spend a be

Those sharkbite connectors are the bee's knees. So easy to bridge copper to pex if you have piping that will evolve a bit. They are expensive, however.

An FAA certified tampon will set you back $10 each if you want to use the tampex tampon with the appropriate tracking number for a Piper. :P I'd expect uncertified to surpass it for far less. (I've tried VR flight sims.. my god, h

Most folks on this thread are focused on the disabled features, but Tesla goes out of its way to prevent salvage of damaged vehicles. It does mean 'potentially poorly restored' cars are mostly nonexistent, but the day to day insu

Honestly, who flies in class A airspace? Can you even fly IFR in that airspace? Class E ends at FL600. (I just do bug smashers, so not sure what the majors do up in the pressurized space)

I do a lot of interviewing... I've found that folks who say "I don't know, but I'd guess x based on y" is a fantastic answer. Lets me know how they are thinking as they walk through an educated guess.

Honestly, this is usually a good sign. I'll code at the edge of my current skill. Six months from now, I hope I can look at that code and consider it primitive from where I hope to be then.

Funny story. Back in when my Bride and I lived in a single bedroom compartment, she looked at my small stack of computers and said "why don't you get one big one"? Later that month, I was shopping at the Lockheed Martin outl

I'm not sure if I'd consider it extreme weather, but it was a very late String for Minnesota this year. Cold through most of February with lots of rain. My brother crop dusts, and figures he is likely around 20% behind the numbe

It was the place to mail order components too! If you were building a system back in those days, that was one of the better tomes to dig through to find deals. That was really the only good place to find competitive offerings of a VESA lo

When it does strike the aircraft, it tends to reflect all over and destroy a person's night vision temporarily. Bonus that it (justifiably) can permanently mess up vision on the reflect. I've not been lazed yet, but folks I fly

Woof. This is how you continue to expand technical debt until it destroys the project. I'm hoping it is a smaller time window for projection, so you can ... never mind. I see there are no tests, dev environments, docs. Just make sur

Drying the blade makes a difference too. For me, the most noticeable difference is my daughter would never use my DE safety razor on her legs. The cartridge style.. well.. they dulled out way faster than they should have from my usage.

My wife use to work at a credit card company. Someone in their group had taken the Microsoft Access 'Northwinds' sample database, changed the labels, and reworked the processes to more or less fit the SQL/tables that existed
