Oracle open sourced and released the bulk of the Java Enterprise Edition specifications and source code.

But what they did not do, is release the Java trademark. So, the whole kit had to be called something else (in this case they chose Jakarta, which has history in the Java community and lets the colloquial "JEE" still work).

Part of this process what they had to rename ALL of the Java EE packages from the original "javax" root name to something else, again, in this case, "jakarta".

This has been a several year process that's held up a lot of advancement in the platform as it transitioned out of Oracle and over the Eclipse foundation.

At this point with moving to Java 11 and supporting Java 17 (no small feat), and having all of the packages renamed, repackaged, re-released, Jakarata EE is probably "finally free" from where it was back in "Java EE 8".
I'm a casual twitter user (unfortunately) and the verification badge really is an issue. You see that way before you see the grey "actual name" and before that, you see the nickname which is basically the name of the impersonators target.

It's pretty obvious when you read it with common sense but when you initially see it, it looks legit.
> This version adds 4,489 characters, bringing the total to 149,186 characters. These additions include two new scripts, for a total of 161 scripts, along with 20 new emoji characters, and 4,193 CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideographs.

That seems like a lot of new CJK characters! How did they end up with so many new characters after so long? Is there some gradual process of adding historical or extremely rare characters, or were some deliberately left out of earlier versions?
Modern OOP isn't a poor imitation of anything, it's a distinct approach with its own merits. The No True OOP meme is old and tired, and frankly pointless.
Different take… Apple is going to push the idea wider and this is their test audience.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the anti-googled, that is instead of enforcing adoption of a web technology because they own the browser market, stopping all the misused technologies they don’t want to have to explicitly protect for.
> the problem is that it has already been proven that it is possible to write good sounding nonsense and have that published as scientific research.

This seems to be an issue with how science publishing works, how things are 'peer reviewed', etc. If things were _truly_ peer reviewed, would the peers not catch nonsense in papers? And if it was not caught by a true review, then maybe it's not nonsense after all.

> an AI generated text can't possibly be useful because it is inherently untrustworthy

Probably 25% of the code I 'write' these days has been written by AI, through Copilot. Copilot isn't perfect but it can create a basis to start from that saves me lots of time. This is how I view these content writing tools, something to get the ball rolling, but not something you would use to generate all the content on your site without editing.

Creating a new one. It isn't a closure, so:

x = 3
def f(x): # note the name here
x = 20
f(x)
x # => 3

Similarly, using a different parameter name:

def g(y):
x = y
g(20)
x # => 3

You have to explicitly mark the `x` in the function to be the global one to reference it:

def h(y):
global x
x = y
h(10)
x # => 10

With a lambda it would be a closure:

i = lambda y : x # throwing away y for fun
i(3) # => 10
x = 20
i("hi") # => 20
I think there was an important facet that the movie missed. The market has driven wages so low that people can’t afford to have kids. That acts as a counter balance to the less intelligent -> more kids feedback cycle the movie is predicated on.

Scapple is what you are looking for. Its from the same crew that made Scrivener. You can use it free for a month I think or pay like 20 bucks for a lifetime license. It lets you start anywhere and is very simple and intuitive. The only thing bad about it is exporting data out of it.

I tried (and tried, and tried, and tried) once to set up a local "test" instance of Airflow just to try out a few different things and understand better how the whole thing worked. I finally gave up after a week - I've never come across any software that I couldn't install, but Airflow just ended up being too much.

Reducing power usage is a positive, but it isn't green until the system is actually useful for facilitating commerce at scale. Ethereum hasn't shown that capability, even as an auxiliary currency in international trade, and I am skeptical its fundamental architecture is capable of doing so.
I listen to TWiV, and the prominent virologists there are suggesting that we don't actually know what to do. In some of the latest episodes, they discuss frankly the fact that yearly boosters may or may not actually have any meaningful impact for normal healthy folks. They get into the details of why we know annual influenza boosters are effective, and that we really don't know yet whether COVID boosters will have the same effect.

Have to agree about the implicit interfaces - I have a large codebase to deal with and I end up doing text searches through it to find implementations of a interface. This is not ok in 2022. The error handling is poor, as well.
>which means we will have to start paying (actual money) for good content.

I think both options will be available as it is now. I personally don't like the idea of paying for every particular thing that I consume. (kind of whats happening with streaming services lately) Not only because it is a hassle but also those single payments quickly add up, ultimately hurting creators.

The Fenix isn't a "dumb" watch. As far as battery life, Garmin has recently been making some digs at Apple about Garmin watches battery life being in days instead of hours. The Fenix has something around a month of battery life, depending on features you use. The Fenix Solar can, again depending on features enabled, have "unlimited" battery life if it is sunny.

Not sure what maps it has, it does have some mapping ability, I know it advertises having golf course maps. I'm unsure what other map features it has. I've been looking at the Garmin watches (Instinct 2 mostly), but I don't really care about mapping features.
Fairly certain it's just another person wanting to go the extra mile of security. Sure, it may not do anything useful if you're just some guy Pegasus won't ever encounter. But if lockdown mode doesn't restrict OP in any way, what's the drawback of just enabling it to sleep that little bit better at night?
Their ethereal unobtainability?
StackAid founder here. There are a couple of questions that keep coming up that I thought I would address in one place.

- People don't want to give money to Stripe, Meta, etc since their projects are already well funded by corporations. We agree! Right now, those projects can just not claim their funds which would then be reallocated, or they can pass their funds on to their dependencies instead. We are exploring other ways to allow you to exempt certain organizations/repositories from being funded.

- People will try and game the system. They can try but they largely will not succeed because ultimately many developers will still need to be convinced to use and depend on their projects. How funds are allocated and what dependencies an open source project has is public knowledge and the community will rightly punish bad actors.

Thanks for all the responses and feedback.
I have been running Lockdown Mode for several weeks. It is very rare that my iPhone can not access a web page correctly, etc. iMessage behaves a little differently but I am used to it.
Thanks for the video really clear, not sure why but my mind just couldn't figure out what this project was from the github.
Funny you say this on the internet, an innovative (at the time, now it's just taken for granted) communications network funded by the US government for it's first decade. On that network you are using a technology (http/html) that was inveted at CERN (a large government funded research institute) in Europe.

These two things together have widely been credited with changing the world.
They already have an endowment of over $100M:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Endowment

Hosting costs them $2.4M a year:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/1/1e/Wikim...

Less than ten years ago, one of their VPs said they could sustain their mission on "$10M+/year":

https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2013-March...

What he actually said in 2013 was this:

"WMF has operated in the past without staffing and with very minimal staffing, so clearly it's _possible_ to host a high traffic website on an absolute shoestring. But I would argue that an endowment, to actually be worthwhile, should aim for a significantly higher base level of minimal annual operating expenses, more in the order of magnitude of $10M+/year, to ensure not only bare survival, but actual sustainability of Wikimedia's mission. The "what's the level required for bare survival" question is, IMO, only of marginal interest, because it is much more desirable, and should be very much possible, to raise funds for sustaining our mission in perpetuity."

Total Wikimedia assets (Foundation + Endowment funds at Tides) stood at about $400 million in March 2022.

I take your point about short parameter names. Like, why is it better to have to read all the code to understand what the parameter means?
There are still RWX pages in Chrome, something to do with WASM I think. I don’t know about Safari. Old MS Edge used to solve the remapping of the W JIT page to X by moving JITTing to another process and then having it RW in there, but only ever be RX in the primary process.

> Lockdown Mode was allowed to roll out without the American security state feeling comfortable that they're able to defeat it by pressing a button?

There is growing political consensus that given the lawless conduct of our adversaries, and the semi-lawful conduct of American intelligence, a smaller overall security cross section is to our advantage.

> What is the second person supposed to do - get out and push?

Despite the relatively low rolling resistance, even a single rail car is too heavy for a human to push.

I am not a railroad worker so I may have this wrong. But there are a number of reasons that a second (or third) person is a big help from a practical or safety standpoint.

For example, if you are picking up a car (adding it to the train), the engineer will drive the locomotive forward/back while in radio contact with a person on the ground. The person on the ground will confirm the couplings closed properly, and connect air lines for brake system. Doing this with two or three people over the radio is faster, easier, and probably safer. I think one of the safety concerns here is a coupling that has closed incompletely or improperly: if it lets go as the train climbs a grade, you can have a loose car (or a string of cars) on the track. If I understand correctly, you want to watch the coupling "catch" as the train inches forward. Maybe there is a sensor-based solution, but I am not sure.

Another advantage for a second (or third) crew member is safety. If there is a derailment and a solo crew, that person stays with the locomotive and reports the accident. Someone has to drive to the scene (in most cases by road). This adds a lot of time. In the event of a derailment, this time is a big safety concern. A lot of hazmat (chlorine, ammonia, chemicals, hydrocarbons) are shipped by rail.

I am sure there is quality of life as well. Being alone is far more difficult psychologically.

In the end, we can say "US freight should have single person crews" all we want, but good luck finding a labor force willing to do it. The rail industry is struggling to recruit and retain workers. Switching to single person crews would not help if half of the workers quit.
But one person did not create all the value.

And it's not even all the employees of this single company who created it. The entire structure of society, technology, law and order, transport infrastructure, etc, etc, enabled such a concentration of wealth.

It's good to see when beneficiaries realise it's not really 'their' money at all.
> Lockdown mode seems to be one of those features that's great for marketing and PR in certain circles, while being extremely useful in situations where it's needed.

Also, it gives them additional room to play with security research and engineering at large. They already have an incentive to improve security on device (drive by attacks, jail breaking), and this just enables them to play with things that are safer but break too much. They’re basically training their other tech teams to be more secure, and find where security and UX clash, identify and build the fix, even if off by default.
For pete's sake. Sexting and sending pictures to customers is NOT being a sugar baby. Please stop misusing the terms.

A sugar baby is a mistress, which is a girlfriend that is financially supported. A sugar daddy is a rich boyfriend, usually married. The relationship is real. The sex is real. The friendship is real. The laughs are real. The squabbles are real. For most of these couples, they know the relationship will come to an end when it starts, but for that time in their lives, it can be perfect.

A young woman who is busy with school or starting her career, doesn't want the drama and endless obligations of a "normal" boyfriend, would like regular intimacy with a regular partner anyway, and could use financial or career help can find having a sugar daddy as a boyfriend can be fantastic.
When I worked at a VC-backed firm, headcount was a bragging point and seemed to be a metric they were concerned about in the opposite direction you’d expect— that is, if I was a business owner, I’d be concerned about having too much headcount. They were always busy seemingly trying to maximize headcount. I never understood it.
Information for nearly anything and everything is available somewhere if one knows where to look or has the “creativity” to obtain said information oneself. As many have commented twitter is just the mass discovery vector that those who did not know how to find this particular type of data are now made aware from a tweet. With plane spotting as my back deck hobby, along with my proximity to interesting aircraft, for years I have spelunked the web to find better sources given that some tracking services are paid by aircraft owners to remove their data. Another option is the secondary data that relates to air travel designating restrictions for VIPs, mainly political of course. Fitting timing on this hn inquiry as just yesterday our area had an out of band flight restriction in the afternoon for several hours which was for 46, or an immediate family member, from past correlation to data and news events. Then last evening nearing the conclusion of the flight restriction the house was shaking from Air Force One having just taken off from New Castle Delaware and flying nearly right over our house at what seemed like full throttle climbing through to altitude. As with anything, data can be the problem or the solution, it just depends on one's intent.
I would like to add that "free market" is a bad description of the state of markets with the United States in general. The government has directly affected the price and legality of many goods including cheese, magnets, corn, houses, education, and more. That's all before we can even start to discuss the systematic effects of fiat money. The idea that we are collectively operating in a free market is a fairly tale.
Obviously these types of features are welcome, even though they are apply to an incredibly small group of people. I cant help but feel the 'personal security' push from Apple and its marketing is rather self serving.

Apple is under more legal pressure than ever for its apparent 'anti-competitive' practices. They have on many occasions pushed the line of user privacy and security to defend their business. Features like this benefit a small group of people, but help Apple enormously in defending itself from litigation.

Edit: Downvote? Why are companies given the benefit of the doubt as if they were human and caring when they are clearly not! Large listed tech companies like Apple will ALWAYS act in their own interest first. User privacy is the advantage Apple has over its competitors who rely on free services and advertising. It is in their OWN INTEREST to pursue this path which in turn impacts others ability to compete. Must we continue to be so grossly naive?
You might not be the target audience though, eh?
The only way I can think of that could work is if an attacker made a website (and convinced the target to visit it) that said something like:

What really sucks about the more recent ios versions is that they make it a little counterintuitive to shut off your radios when you don't need them. If you want to actually shut off your wifi or blutooth its in your Settings app, the buttons in the control center don't actually shut things off.

Sometimes I just throw the device in airplaine mode for a while if I am busy or overnight. This is a lot better than low power mode; the device just sips power and can probably be on standby for a week versus hopefully a day with all the services on the device phoning home in the background. I flick it on when I have a chance to actually follow up on text or calls, and they come in a few seconds after.

They literally sell oil. Oil with extra steps, which consume even more oil. All of Patagonia's profits are completely based on selling oil to people who load up into a huge SUV or get on a plane to go consume more oil as they wear their fashionable oil.

I think there's a disconnect in what people believe is the mission of the Wikimedia Foundation. The WMF is an ideologically-driven movement. It is much more than simply a benevolent public service. The WMF has social-justice based goals in the world, and the public-facing Wikipedia projects are simply the friendly face of this movement. They're building an endowment to keep the movement alive, not merely to keep the lights on for their server racks.

The most useful thing that a typical user can donate to WMF is their time. So edit a few articles and get involved with the process if you're so inclined. It's volunteer labor, over and above all else, that keeps the projects running. If you're a minor donor then you need to understand that your money goes to support the movement, not simply the service.
Also first names were very restricted before 1993. There were some regionalism allowed, but I am not sure to which extent.

What do you think "being a billionaire" means?

If you start and retain ownership of a company that is one worth day a billion dollars, you're a billionaire.

That doesn't mean you have a billion dollars in cash. It doesn't mean you have a billion dollars in hard assets. It means you built a functioning organization that is performing some valuable service in society, and some accountant has associated some value to that entire organization of more than $1,000,000,000.

At what point do you think founders should be punished for that accomplishment by having some of their ownership stake taken away from them?
