I can't speak to Spring, and I've never worked with it directly. I'm from the Java/Jakarta EE parallel universe. Where everything is the same, but different. Both universes have impacted each other is various ways. JEE h

Kind of surprised they sold the car today him in the first place. In the US, as I understand it, the Toyota Hydrogen program, all of the vehicles are leased, perhaps to prevent just this thing but also to actually protect the consumer from

Gamers are gonna game. Rule lawyers too. It’s the nature of complex games with large rule sets. What is nice is if you have an active publisher reacting in a timely fashion. But then, if that’s the case, you as a participant need to keep up

Early on, this was a motivator for me to contribute to StackOverflow. I'd look at questions that I sort of maybe knew the answer to, but the question was a reasonable excuse to dive into more details and understanding so I could better

Well, we didn't. We sold accounting and distribution systems. The base software was functional, but basic and pretty much always needed customization. So, we sold a lot of "we can do that" features that we didn't already

Well, if they do, knowing Texas, it’ll be a .45 caliber bullet train.

It is harrowing. And I'd like to hope that folks that live in Oregon are familiar with it. Living in California, we get public service announcements and outreach about preparedness. The FEMA guidelines of 3 days supplies are a fine rul

I essentially use "abbreviated" CLOS. In CL, defstruct structures walk on both sides of the CLOS line. They're not as robust as full boat CLOS classes, but they're not just a bag of fields either. They fully participate

The computer diagnostics don’t tell the technician how to do the replacement. The service manual has all of the procedures, parts lists, and special tools necessary for the job.

I’ve had by motorcycle license years before I got a car certification. I started on a 180cc scooter. Sipped gas, easy to ride, was legal (barely) on the freeway. Free parking at the university and right in the middle too, instead of the hin

BMW no longer sells service manuals for their bikes. There are, essentially, bootlegs on line, but my understanding is that while before they had a dedicated Window application for their manuals, they're moving to an online only system

Images are pretty routine amongst most of them (though not all). In the end what you have is a base image, and then a set of code and instructions to transform that image into your runtime image, then you distribute that image as your &quot

Your list got long so I did not read it all. I wrote some simple C a while ago and my go to IDE (which ostensibly says it supports C/C++ out of the box) wasn’t working, and since this was just a dabble, I was really not interested in f

Yummy. Java's rocket sled continues to burn.

Similarly there’s the feeling of DONE for games of that era. Burn that Gold Master, or mask those cartridge ROMs, and it’s done. Fini. Whatever shenanigans were done late in the project, if it passed QA, that code base was effectively read

There’s a Stainless Steel Rat reference also, talking about the mythical origin world. Paraphrasing, “called Earth, or Dirt, or something like that”.

As an old school server side Java dev, I boggle at the hoops folks jump through to get stuff done when it comes to packaging. We had two large dependencies: the JDK, and the app server (our container, like Tomcat). Maven, that we’ve had for

Indeed. What would it be like if websites were designed to "look good" using a text based browser, like Lynx? In the early days I used to use Lynx, and it was actually really good. It was always quite fast, easy to navigate around

Just curious about this because I’ve never had any direct experience. All of my uses of any version control (save very early work with RCS) has been to a central server. But “distributed” must mean something other than that, especially how

This was a nice document. But could you expand what happens after step 4 of your last workflow if you get a conflict with the rebase? You say: > and then tell git to continue attempting to apply your changes. Sorry, I just don’t

What's interesting is WHY cars have become bigger. The driver (heh) is the way the federal car mileage legislation formulas work. Simply, the large the vehicle, the worse the gas mileage can be. This is a reason why pickup trucks are l

There was recently an article about distributed systems that showed up here. (Harry Doyle: Christ, I can't find it. To hell with it!) And the author made a very interesting point about message queues. Simply, any problem that could be

How much damage does a 7,000 lb vehicle do to a road designed for 80,000 lb? Or is the real measure ground pressure? Apparently semi trucks run 6000lb up front per wheel and 4300lb in the rear. The Rivian runs 1400lb. With asphalt, which is

The HP-48 certainly could do infix style calculations and formulas (the solvers work with these). But from the prompt it’s not particularly natural. Algebraic entry is a second class citizen. But do look at RPL. Anything that lets you push

The funny part is that in terms of raw part cost, the microcontroller is likely cheaper. I was just dabbling and saw that a 7 segment hex decoder chip was, like, $8 or $9 but a Raspberry Pi Zero was $5. Makes one rethink the issues involved

Well, my favorite stack based language was RPL on the HP. Simply because it fit well in the scope of the environment that it was used. It was really easy to develop and debug on the calculator (I know many did very large projects working wi

Whenever I think of Lisp for scripts, or even a login shell, I drift towards an elegant handling of pipes. Mostly because for 99% of what I do, it involves pipes. Scsh did a lot of work with this but it’s still (as I recall) ungainly. Not t

My read from one of the warrants is that the FBI et al can keep anything pertaining to the investigation. Apparently after 6 months, that investigation is still active. This is why they’re not commenting on anything or returning anything. H
