Java moving to 6 month release cycles is good. OpenJDK is good. RedHat providing long term support is good. All of this is good.

Where I'm worried this fails is with dependencies. Also in the context of developing plugins for other Java projects. For example building a plugin for IntelliJ and the different versions of IntelliJ users may have.
Sure. I have Nginx set to keep files around for s long time and serve stale and refresh in the background, but proactively refreshing periodically is a good idea.
I'm 5'6" and 135lbs and have flown on a lot of 13+ hour flights. Frankly, I'm surprised that it's even legal to make airline coach seats current size, because it barely fits me. After 9 hours, I'm usually ready to stab myself.
Well then get your cash from a teller because it will not be scanned before it's handed to you.
I don't work for Mozilla but presumably they will be at a disadvantage in identifying and thus prioritizing features that their customers want compared to competing browsers. Less features -> less users -> less revenue from google for paying to be the default search engine which then completes the reinforcement cycle as they will have less money to spend on features.

Now they probably don't NEED it, but with every user they lose to chrome, they get less and less money until the only market for them would potentially be the privacy focused ones (although I here chromes got really good privacy features nowadays) which are such a small population that they wouldn't even have enough customers to justify the revenue to even match competing browser features. Thus, you would end up with a lackluster browser that cannot match competing browsers and its only niche are privacy people.

"But the researchers say that the secret phrase and salt can be extracted, allowing private keys to be generated and the funds stolen."

Not sure how much clearer it can be stated.
GDPR wasn't put in place to monitor people scribbling down phone numbers on pieces of paper. It was put in place to stop companies from hoarding vast amounts of personal data and using it to infringe on people's privacy (as well as making sure they looked after it properly).

If the regulator finds out that one of your staff scribbled down a customer's phone number once on a piece of paper while serving that customer, they won't care. If they find that your customer service process requires your customer service staff to scribble down phone numbers on scraps of paper that are then put out with the garbage, where they can be dumpster-dived, they will care (and so should you).

This is not some huge regulatory over-reach that will force you to go through every piece of paper in your organisation. It's a check on your data handling that forces you to acknowledge the trust placed in you by your customers.

They did in Canada. (And I've seen articles that say Canadians use cash less often than in the States.)
Its not that OpenBSD breaks embargoes, it's that they won't just be strung along delaying embargoes for ever. So they can't be trusted to extend an embargoes. They probably would be happy to if there was a good reason, but not for bad reasons.
Those terms seem to mean the opposite of what they should.
Shouldn't you be "real" with your friends, and "fake" with the public?

The sheer fact a 'rinsta' is "heavily managed to project an image" means that it is fake. I guess it's just another example of language evolving counter to logic and original meaning.
Let's not forget about the many deaths that typically occur in the traffic jams between Sydney and London.

Hey, since planes basically never crash, maybe they shouldn't have any safety equipment at all? I bet you could reduce weight a lot by just marking sitting positions on the bare floor in economy. And you could provide hand-hold straps every so often for turbulent bits (we're acknowledging those, right?).

Strangely, there are relatively few opportunities to shift transport modes for intercontinental travel, other than trivial cases like crossing from Europe to Asia across the Bosporus, which some people do as part of their daily commute. Claiming that you're going to reduce deaths by moving people in aircraft versus cars? Even if aircraft were 100% safe, you couldn't move enough people through the current commercial aviation system to make a noticeable dent.

(Fermi estimate: 800 million passenger tickets in the US (2015), 350 million people make an average of 2 ground vehicle trips per day, that's 700 million * 365 = 255 billion. If airplanes can carry 25% more people (and they can't) by perfect substitution for automobile trips, that would reduce it from 255 to 254 billion trips. 1/255 fewer deaths. That's best case, because the US already makes more plane trips per capita than any other country.)
Resilient systems will still break. They may break less, but it's impossible to anticipate every possible usage permutation of a system from here until eternity. There are tons of reliable methods to build resilient systems and they can still have their faults. What I'm talking about is resilient system or not - someone has to be there to fix it if it breaks. There is no silver bullet when it comes to software - sometimes the difference really only can be who puts the most time in.

Minds require rest to function optimally, so pushing yourself to an extreme comes at a cost that gets realized down the line instead. Identifying which means of functioning comes at the greatest cost is not easy to analyze or ascertain. So working together in addition to competing is important as well.

All principles of capitalism. Just, never before in history has there really been so much attention paid to the mind. Software, eesh, yep.
It's a hardware wallet. It doesn't have any coins in it. It has private keys.

Those systems might be immune to attacks that networked machines are vulnerable to, but often networked attacks are used in order to leverage another exploit, such as Meltdown/Spectre.

A vector other than the network could be exploited to leverage an attack that utilizes Meltdown/Spectre.
Maybe I missed in the article but how does a browser block cryptomining scripts? Same goes for fingerprints.
Why aren't you at the same mercy with Java 8?
I didn't just compare with a 747 -- the battery numbers I ran were for the business jet. The 747 obviously looks far worse. If you want mass for a 2 hour journey in an electric business jet, divide those numbers by 5. Also the battery numbers I ran were for the upper range of current lithium-ion tech. If there are batteries on the market that have an energy density of 265Wh/kg, I haven't seen them. I'm no battery expert so I could be wrong, but from what I understand, most current batteries sit at around 60-70% of that.

A non-shifting static margin is certainly a benefit for electric aircraft, but we already successfully design aircraft that do have a shifting static margin. The interesting question is whether or not a constant mass would let you design airframes that would be impossible with fuel and ICE.

1-2 hours looks possible using current and near-future technology, but has anyone actually done a cost analysis on flying electric aircraft that are always at "full fuel" weight versus standard aircraft doing the same journey with half a tank? I can't imagine it's completely cut and dry, because the aerospace industry has had its eye on various forms of electric propulsion for decades.

Also, what's the turnaround on these things? Airlines want to make money, so they want to minimize the amount of time the aircraft spends on the ground. That's going to be a major hurdle, since even charging 2MWh over the course of an hour or so requires 2MW of power going into the vehicle. That's not an ungodly amount, but it's still non-trivial.
The reason being that if they appear insufficiently zealous in acting as a private enforcement arm for the authorities they will suddenly lose their ability to do business.
I used to work for a payment processor, I know your pain.

> I would like to see google attempt to create a social network comparable with facebook and I'd like to see facebook attempt to create a search engine or video sharing service comparable to google or youtube.

Forgive me but... how is that better than getting companies to spin off divisions or to simply not do anticompetitive things? Google is marginally better than Facebook, and what you're suggesting seems to be a switcharoo between two turd sandwiches where effectively nothing changes. Facebook could compete in the video space(god help us), but that doesn't mean we're going to get better video services.
OP probably used miles, that's what I do.

I managed to use AA miles to fly Eithad's first class apartment from Abu Dhabi to JFK.

The sofa on the left side of that photo converts into a bed.

In the last six years I've earned and redeemed about 2.5 million frequent flyer points, so I've managed to fly first or business class around the world several times over. Beds in flight, top-shelf champagne, 21 year old Japanese whiskey, caviar, showers in the sky, complimentary limos to and from the airport, free massages at the airport. When I flew first class on Lufthansa out of Frankfurt they drove me across the tarmac to my plane in a Porsche.

Last year I flew to New Zealand and back via Asia in first class. Outbound I flew Cathay Pacific in first via Hong Kong, then returned using Air New Zealand business class, Singapore Airlines first class and All Nippon first class via Sydney, Singapore and Tokyo. All told about 180k miles and a couple hundred bucks in taxes and fees.
I’m going to read the article but first my two cents: you should refactor every story. Even if it’s just a small thing like moving a method to a new class. Even if it’s not related to the story but you just noticed it while navigating the code base.
Maybe because it has your True Name, rather than a pseudonym to disclose to good friends?
Is this a major concern? Isn't this part of why Java works to maintain backwards compatibility?
No one said it's the same. This is the problem, you take an extreme case and you say, "See! Since this [insert ridiculously extremist case here] is obviously bad then my [insert more reasonable case here] is good!"

No one's talking about the obvious stuff here. Like Nazis, or forcing blacks back into slavery or something. I'm talking about being intolerant of reasonable ideas.

It's perfectly reasonable for a bunch of congressmen to get together for a baseball game without being shot.

It's perfectly reasonable for young black military officers to walk up a city street without having a knife stuck in his chest.

Don't even get me started on how reasonable it is for little old ladies to go to churches.
8ms? Where do you get that number from?

If your player has a 144Hz monitor then your pause time, rounded to the nearest millisecond, has to be 0ms.
Depends on the size of the meteor. It's very likely survivable; micrometeroid protection is a design feature of the suits, which have plenty of layers, and a small hole won't cause rapid decompression. For a through-suit puncture it's going to be a lot like a gunshot wound.

If you're hit by a speck of dust or a grain of sand you're probably good for most impact sites. If you're hit by a marble you're going to be in real trouble (same is true of the ISS itself in this case).

In any case, it's pretty unlikely.
This guide was a lifesaver when I had to learn how to use GDB on the fly for my 4th year embedded systems paper back at university.

His networking and IPC guides are also one of the sole reasons I managed to pass my 3rd year operating systems paper. From memory we were actually recommended to use his networking guide instead of any particular textbook.
> Been there, done that (6'2, Australia <-> Europe, multiple times). I couldn't agree more. The fact that there is no way to fully stretch my legs while seated is driving me nuts on such long flights.

Same boats for me exactly. My solution is just to get up and hang out in the aisle, or near the emergency exits whenever I feel like it. Sometimes I read standing up, I stretch, I even sit on the floor with my legs straight. I'm polite to the staff and other passengers, and I have never once had anyone tell me to stop what I'm doing.

It's great in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep. An hour of stretching makes a BIG difference on those 14 hour back-to-back flights.
what worries me most is the muscle memory of developers downloading Oracle jdk from oracle. If Oracle keeps is dark patterns, thousands of developers will be using the commercial tool and on the hook for license fees.
Nope. But hey, I'm happy to change my opinion if you present data.

Java has legendary backwards compatibility and has had that since the first public release. That’s not going anywhere.
Who are these people that are designing systems that have terabytes of heap under a single GC, but still want/expect/need low pause times.

I would think if there were processes that needed consistent latency you would isolate them.
It's rare that Java the language or the JDK breaks backward-compatibility. Code without generics, for example, still compiles with JDK 10, albeit with a bunch of warnings, so long as you specify an appropriate language level.

The ABI, however, can and does break, usually when one of your dependencies updates to a language level not supported by your toolchain or runtime environment. The common solutions are to update your toolchain and language level, "desugar" the artifact if possible, or to not update the dependency. This is something the Android world has been dealing with for a long time (since Java 8 was introduced) and it's not a completely terrible situation.

The problem you mention regarding IntelliJ and its (lack of) stable APIs has more to do with IntelliJ than the languages used or the tools with which it is built.

Which is a better use of time: staying in the same place and contending with assholes who want to take advantage of you, or shrugging it off and going somewhere else with fewer assholes?

We are always at the mercy of others, and I prefer not to negotiate with terrorists. Let them squabble over their petty ambitions; I'd rather spend my time among people who are more interested in collaborating with me than exploiting me.
Look me up when you make to Austin. I live and work about 25 miles east at the place that runs the power grid for Texas.
I think you don't get security... along with other things. There are good ways to spend resources and bad ways. And there is a lot more opportunity to waste resources than utilize them efficiently. Krypton is a very bad idea to start with. It's the poor man's YubiKey. My Android has both Krypton and my Google account. My phone has my identity. If I lose my phone, I lose tons more than if I just lose my YubiKey, which nobody will associate with me and give them means to get into my accounts. I cannot even remotely erase Krypton. In general, it is times worse than a YubiKey, but also times less convenient, and practical. Why would anybody use it?
On really long flights they typically do administrative work and monitor instrumentation. They chat with each other and basically look out the window. It is an incredibly boring job since the aircraft is on autopilot for the majority of time.
Where do you get your number from? 1/(144 Hz) is 7ms. 1/(60 Hz) is 17ms.
They're so many: being able to get a home loan (redlining), not being killed by police even when you have a gun, having access to generational wealth, being promoted and included in instutions of power and wealth that are run by white people, having family or friends being able to get you high paying jobs because they and their parents were similarily employed, seeing images of people that look like you portrayed as the hero/savior/good guy in media, living in school districts that ate better funded, not having people target or attack you for your skin color, not having laws that were created to incarcerate you (war on drugs, the numerous new Jim crow laws) etc.

And I see that your question implies a confusion: a white person needs to do nothing to participate in racism. By being white, going with the flow means receiving the benefit of these insutions. A white person could never act in a racially discriminatory way and still receive benefit.

White people need to actively dismantle the system that is racism so that it no longer benefits them. (This is the only ethical path forward.) And if white people are scared that they'll be treated the same way that they treated non white people, then they should ensure that the dismantling doesn't prop up a new oppressive system.
Does this mean water is rushing into the space (water) craft?

Java has full backward compatibility.
But you can not store anything in your session ID. JWT can carry a small amount of data that's need by my service. I only need to validate JWT and check if it's been invalidated. Then I can go ahead to perform by business logic. I don't want to hit db to get all these data. Yes you can argue why not just store them in redis too, but with JWT I only need One bit.

man, you want the body coming to work, the brain doing the work, and also you want the soul. The soul does cost a significant extra and it seems you're trying to get it on the cheap by catching and exploiting the enthusiasm of those people who feel it for your jobs.
That is not how it works.

You can download the Oracle JDK and use it forever, commercially, for free. You just won't get updates backported to your version unless you pay for long term support.
Can someone point out the material difference(s) between the Asian quotas, which Harvard is stridently defending, and the Jewish quotas which were repealed and roundly reviled?
Except the Business Class seats flying international cost $10k+ in many cases (from what I hear online, I can barely afford to fly cattle class once every 5 years). I don't think someone that spends that much is willing to give up their seat for a majority of the flight for $800?
I do feel as though that steps past questions of what a person should be concerned about as a member of a broader society. As a white person I'm not the victim of racism, but I don't think that means I should ignore news about racist incidents - it informs me of an experience I don't get.
But if you stack them, you have a higher passenger density than economy while still making each person more comfortable.
