Simply switch to OpenJDK (which is same code base, but without any Oracle angst attached) and be whole.

I think one of the points that is worth making, is that middle class is not what it used to be. It should be OK to consider a $130 meal if you are middle class . The economy has been booming (for the rich). But the middle class is no m

What matters is what YOU do, and what your children are allowed to do. What matters, is that if you let your children play outside alone and unsupervised, tomorrow they will be taken away by CPS or equivalent protective services organizatio

Nobody is going to give you their credit card information straight off the bat, without knowing exactly what they are signing up for.

It does not even have a readme. What kind of definition of done is this?

Here's my metric: I do complicated merges once in a while. If Beyond Compare (price = 60$) helps me resolve the conflicts in few minutes, of what used to take an hour of cursing and sweating, I pay them and consider the money well spen

Economically, if you deliver value, you deliver value. Does not matter the price, if it's worth doing and generates profit for me.

What's the point of running CI on a branch that's effectively for tracking releases only? We run CI on master branch and fix any build breaks or regressions immediately. (That's the job of unit tests and integration tests.) I

Yes, because master is the default implicit branch. (Now, in git is possible to designate other branch as default, but folks who follow the advice in article often are not experienced enough to do it.) I know a team that runs this branching

The advice here given to avoid using "master" branch for development, and advice to create non-default branch named "develop" (or variations thereof) is quite harmful. If you must have a "release" branch or &qu

What is going on there? Java drops 6%, C drops 5%, it's like the whole thing is massively contracting. For JVM Scala, Kotlin and Groovy add up to 1.2% share, while Clojure is not in top 50.

Sounds like a CPU bug then. Recompiling made it so that certain instruction (or sequence of instructions) are not hit - avoiding hitting some kind of hardware problem. But the problem is still there.

Git book, page 36. "look at the diff of the commit that caused it and" ... the sentence just cuts off there.

Look for "Commercial Displays" on NewEgg for example. Those are as dumb as they come.

Pay attention to the accents though. They make the two words sound very different, one has heavy accent on "i" and the other on the preceding "a". Украи́на [1] vs. окра́ина [2] But I see what you are saying. They are rel

Wow, these guys get it. Customize the "il1" just the way you like it, preview with themes (colors), customize up the width, height and weight just the way that looks perfect on your screen.

Sounds like the reason is nobody else will touch it. Once the author is gone, you end up scrapping the project.

The advice really is to avoid the quick dopamine hit of running the app and seeing the new feature work by manual testing. It's a motivation thing, and I think it can be very valuable tip how to motivate yourself to keep up your unit t

Well, isn't this nice - outsourcing the knowledge what makes Sazerac, and how to make it to somebody else, and just declaring that you want it? Would you mind actually making Sazerac in your FP "analogy" as well?

I wonder if it's not in fact that he only has as much power as you yourself give him. Then pretending that he has no power, actually makes it so that he does not have any power over you.

It's actually "genetic cleansing", if I understood the exposition right. Same like with "Shut up and dance", this twist a provides believable reason why some think what's going on is actually justifiable.

Does your page answer the question "why do I needed? why do I want it?" - it seems to describe to product, but nothing about the "why". This also means you have not defined your audience. Who should I be so that I would

My grandmother was a middle-school history teacher, so I had access to history books they used in schools (in Latvia). I was a kid during 1980s. What I am talking about is the sort of history that was taught in schools (at school level!) du

I did some VB6 coding back in the day. I simply loved it how you could write identifier without any regard to case (lowercase), and IDE would bump it to correct capitalization automatically. And when you decide to change capitalization in v

Well, the point is if you still want to be able to get bills paid. And if you are not inventor of XML, or inventor of Java, you have to keep your eyes open.
