Off the top of my head, there are now JDK open source builds provided by: * Oracle * Microsoft * Redhat * IBM (yes redundant with Redhat, but I believe IBM has multiple divisions providing JDKs, on top of what they got with RHEL purchase) *

If this is true - whether because the courts don't enforce the "spirit" of the original law or for some other reason - why can't all companies just use Section 230 like the tech "platforms"? I mean CNN, Fox, N

Funny, I took over a modern python service and I was pretty shocked at what I inherited. Long gone are the days of "There's one way to do things". Instead, this thing would give the most "enterprisey" Spring JEE app

I'm seeing this a lot with several of the "devops" or cloud architects (or whatever the preferred title is these days for the guys who manage the apps running on the servers) that we've hired in the last year. I've

This is what I've noticed too. Intellij has never exactly been speedy, but it had so many great features that it was worth it compared to other slow IDEs like Eclipse. And using a basic text editor like VIM or even VS Code with a big J

Part of me wants to say that the Covid supply disruptions and mass money printing are not that extraordinary, at least if you look at things on a long enough scale. We've had pandemics, world wars, and social upheavals throughout histo

Like most of us on HN, our use cases are not even remotely similar to the majority of users out there who end up using junky, inexpensive USB Ink Jet printers bought at retail outlets like BestBuy or Walmart, which use proprietary bloatware

This is what I'm afraid of, too. Maybe things are working well and seamless, but the last thing I want to do is have to worry about being the first dev on my team using non-X86, and pushing Arm versions of Docker images all over the pl

Can anyone comment on how well M1 chips work with X86 development workflows e.g. Brew, Docker, etc? I know there are still problems if you're heavily dependent on Virtualization software like VMWare and Virtual Box. For example, will I

I guess I'd have no issue with Arm chips if the developer experience is pretty seamless, considering we deal with numerous languages and frameworks, Docker images, etc and deploy to X86 "cloud" servers. We're already str

Thank you for this. I've seen, over the past few years, at least a dozen large threads on HN, Reddit, Slashdot, and elsewhere arguing over the JDK. Usually they're a passionate mix of developers and PMs claiming they're still

Bingo. The whole thing smells fishy. Of course, the headlines were talking about how evil Facebook is because it makes kids feel bad. But digging deeper, you can see exactly how this is meant to play out: More censorship and control by the

1/4 of your paycheck for a year was garnished (roughly 25% of your WHOLE salary for the year) and you were not able to resolve the issue, and lost all that money? That is ridiculous. In the US, you'd almost certainly be able to fi
