Really appreciate you going through the trouble to do that and post the results so we don't need any hand-waving. This looks the same as the original proposal -- using the hashCode and final verification via equals. So in a typical case s

I don't think anyone would disagree with you; we definitely went through a stagnation of Java between 6 and 7 where it seemed Sun was trying to find it's footing with Java, trying to not sink the company, trying to be bought up, trying to f

Ahh, good point. I'll add that to Java 8 hotness list. Thank you. UPDATE: Couldn't add it to the original post (edit has expired), here is more info about Joda Time for Java 8[1] for folks that are interested. [1] http://www.jroller.com/sc

Hrrmmm... good point. So all that would do is require patent trolls to keep around a small development team to mockup wrappers to whatever IP they buy up to show they wrote it? I suppose the due-diligence requires to disprove shenanigans wo

I am really curious if an event like this will eventually promote change in the software patent laws. We've been watching events like Lodsys running around kicking everyone in the knees and international developers pulling their apps out

There is a good amount of stuff to get excited about in this release. - Try-with-resources-Catch-Block [0] - Fork/Join libraries from Doug Lea (author of Executor framework) [1] - Inferred/Simpler generics in declarations (should

I don't know if my attention span has gotten shorter or my willingness to dig for information has, but when I see announcements like this I immediately look for an overview video. Gnome 3 used them to great effect. WordPress uses them with

Couldn't agree more; as soon as I get a whiff of a website trying to dig more information out of me than it needs to perform a specific function, my tolerance for everything else on the website drops considerably. "To calculate shipping,

The original reasoning that went into the design of the first form is (I think) the classic perspective taken from someone that has never had to use their own product. "Why wouldn't someone want to create an account? Ship it!" Then as soon

That talk had a really inspiring energy to it. When it started I thought Yegge sounded nervous and jittery and seemed a little intense, like he had a chip on his shoulder and I thought "Oh boy, I hope he doesn't do a melt-down". Then as the

I was sitting here mulling over why you wouldn't think that people are essentially good and it dawns on me that a lot of people are scared and likely have behaviors that suggest they aren't good (e.g. drive by someone with a flat tire in

So... this is tender ground to be treading (holy wars). I am a strong believer in your tool feeling good to you; it is the environment you create in. The better it feels, the faster and more cohesively you will work (within reason). That
