In my experience it's more because their compliance team hasn't blessed the newer version for general use. These large organizations don't put the autonomy with individual teams to make such decisions to upgrade technology. So everyone is looking at a centralized authority who then feel the pressure to make a perfect decision, which turns into a hesitation because they also don't have a great process to evaluate a complex piece of technology like the JVM and declare it "perfectly safe and secure". So then the status quo wins. They will even pay companies like Azul to maintain support for Java 7 or 8, rather than making the leap. (And yes, there's probably a small contribution to this problem from source code that's hard to migrate, but as good as Java's been about backward compatibility, I don't think that's a big contributor in earnest.)
For me it mostly is that business people don't understand OLAP vs OLTP and that if they add 5 items to database and they are visible in the system their "dashboard" will not update instantly but only after when data pipes run.

Which is hard to explain because if it is not instant everywhere they think it is a bug and system is crappy. Later on they will use dashboard view once a week or once a month so 5 items update is not relevant at all.
To add to the sibling comments, you'll also enjoy the monster amount of introspection made available in the combination of the JVM and JMX exposed via the Spring actuator endpoints. We regularly adjust logging levels of running pods in order to sniff out errant behavior versus bouncing them to fiddle with some log level. I have yet to play with a software stack that is designed for as much in-flight tuning as Spring on the JVM

Don't overlook @ConfigurationProperties <https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/3.1.1/reference/html...> as a way of strongly typing any configuration knobs that your application may require. That not only allows static typing to avoid the hazardous @Value("some.vaule.oops") but it also means that IJ will tab complete (with typechecks) in your application.{properties,json,yaml,whatever}

There are some robotics researchers trying to frame robotics tasks as sequences of action and sensor tokens, giving the model all the data collected by the robot and the actions taken by the robot, so that the model can learn to predict the action tokens based on sensor info. Here's a blog post from a researcher in this field reviewing a relevant paper: https://evjang.com/2023/06/22/robocat.html
Ask HN: What's the state of consumer genomics in 2023?
Over the past two days I've got interested in the topic, and I can find a lot of information from around 2018.

However, I've been unable to find a comprehensive, detailed recap of the situation as of 2023, from someone who beholds a modicum of authority on the topic. Surely things must have changed (e.g. cheaper sequencing devices), and I'm just bad at finding the information?

Goals I'm interested in: sequencing accuracy, quality of diagnostics, privacy, genealogical features. For what it's worth, I'm based in Europe.
Ask HN: How do you organize work and personal computers at your home office?
I WFH. I have personal and work laptops, and I find it cumbersome to switch between them in my home office. Even having a thunderbolt docking station doesn't help too much. If I just want to do some quick browsing, unlocking the work computer is just more convenient than unplugging the dock, plugging it in the personal computer and starting it up.

If you WFH, do you also feel the same? How do you organize work and personal computers?

In hindsight computation wasn't the important thing though. A lot of things require a lot of computation that aren't intelligent or don't scale well, like Deep Blue. The important breakthrough in AI was learning ("machine learning").

While EVs only look like a statistical blip on the oil market now, they are taking off fast enough that it will be less than 10 years before the impact is obvious. Cars are 50% of of oil (transport is 60%, so I'll just round and assume the other 10% is trucks trains, ships, airplanes... which are not going away as fast), but new cars are already starting to move to EVs, and that trend is continuing. It will be 20 years before oil isn't a significant factor in car transport

Given the distance, I'd suggest a KISS approach. Just a timer that closes the door past normal bedtime. You just want to make sure it doesn't OPEN the door at that time. Should be an easy breadboard project. It could be tied into the garage door switch that gregjor mentioned.

Failure mode: if it closes when you want it open, just click the clicker to open the door, or have a keypad.
Coupons like that come from the manufacturer, and are given to doctors by drug sales representatives. Many practices don't allow drug reps any more, so the doctors in those practices don't learn about the coupons.

Disclosure laws curb the worst historical excesses, and there are good arguments in favor of further restrictions. Good reps serve an educational purpose, and when the medicines available to treat a disease have evolved dramatically, that education can be necessary.

For example, there are still primary care physicians who just go to sulfa drugs then insulin after metformin. There are much better medicines that actually protect other organ systems too! But they didn't learn about them in med school, and it takes some consistent nudging to get them to break the old prescribing habits.

Yes, having formal diplomatic relations in the late 19th century with major Western powers to other nations is a significant difference. This is very different than say, France having tribal relations in an influence fight with British Colonial expansionism 150 years prior to the overthrowing of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Again, it's all bad, this is just a different kind of bad.
It's a argument for better system design, aka a meat grinder driven by pigs for the pigs and a stationary government part with almost no power to act on its own, except in limiting decay to the meat grinder and restoring it's full functionally once it breaks down.

We use water for processes other than residential drinking water. Eventually, PFAS contamination will reach a level where additional filtering will be required to prepare water for industrial uses. Given the difficulty of removing PFAS, it's likely that this filtering will come at a high cost. These higher costs will be propagated through the economy.

I, for one, don't want to pay these costs.

I agree. This alone will make pretty much anyone read more, learn more, and enjoy it more. Too many people feel this weird sense of responsibility: having opened the book, I must read every word, in order, until the last page, or I have failed at my job. A healthier perspective is that books are there for you to use and throw away as needed, not a sacred burden.

For large organizations it's also an organizational lift, plus their attraction to have all the latest goodies from the latest JVM versions is probably a little less, so a lot of the same inertia that existing in moving from 7 to 8 and from 8 to 9 is going to resurface for any migration, even if the actual breakages during the compilation step are less.
what a great question. I worked as a W2 employee for a big company and their policy was you should use their provided laptop BUT you were allowed to use your own if you wanted. You just had to agree that in the event that your laptop was stolen or lost and someone got all their code, YOU were personally liable and the company could sue you. My question was always, has a lawsuit like that ever actually happened to some lowly developer? Like wouldn't I need to pass a credit check first then if they really thought I could cover the millions?

(but to answer your question I'm working 1099 now and it's great! Just 1 laptop. I really hate that switch-a-roo game.)

had never had to 'deal with' or pay serious attention (I'm not into sports...). Feeling your heart doing weird stuff in normal conditions, isn't surprising to trigger anxiety and panic. The first time I felt like keeling over after some mild-the-month-before bicycle effort, I fell not only the heart symptoms but sudden fear and anxiety that compounded the situation. I called 911 a week later because I felt very strong and unusual heart symptoms, feeling like a heart attack. Nothing on either ecg, doppler, blood analysis, heart mri, effort test, absolutely nothing - the EMT said at first 'so many calls these days, most looking like panic attacks, poor people suffering with no physical traces of a problem'. ER doc was 'we didn't find anything but don't hesitate next time, it wasn't nothing and even if it's "just" a panic attack we can help'. The problem went away after 6 months of doing frequent/daily light cardio activity...
Most of my HTML/CSS skills were formed when these things did not have good built-in solutions.

As someone who just wants to hack together a responsive blog that looks nice, the things that are now “simpler and easier in the long run” have not been easy or obvious to come by when looking for resources, and while I’d love a deep knowledge of CSS, the investment in time doesn’t make sense given my use case. This is why I gravitated to Tailwind - learn the conventions of the utility classes (only took a few minutes) and the rest mostly just works.

I’d love something like http://vanilla-js.com/ but for modern CSS. Something that paints a crystal clear picture about what can be done, and how to do it without bringing in $framework.
Storing time series data in sharded MySQL to power Query Insights
A brief summary: lawyers for Twitter were busy obfuscating and dissembling to the judge, pretending that Twitter was completely unable to formulate a SQL query to identify multiple accounts used by the same device and otherwise playing dumb, trying to throw enough technobabble to confuse a judge. The lawyers were also assembling a bunch of nonsense 1st Amendment arguments and hurling those at the wall too, hoping something would stick.

The judge and prosecutors were not fooled. Eventually the judge fined Twitter for all their nonsense.

So, contrary to some of the comments posted here already about dumb judges or whatever, this case shows a judge seeing through a bunch of techno-nonsense that lawyers tried to use to sow confusion.

> increased risk of developing a chronic illness for children

Well, there's pretty good evidence of this one given that one of the subjects in the adolescent trials for Pfizer was briefly paralyzed by the shot and still dealing with the consequences on an ongoing basis.

> literal misinformation was spread claiming that drugs that don't work were effective.

How, exactly, is it known with enough certainty that the drugs do not work as to label the claim "misinformation"? All of the controlled studies around the question have flaws one can point to, including the ones which found no effect.

> making claims that wearing masks was actually harmful

I don't know what exact harms were being claimed, but wearing a mask absolutely interrupts normal human social cues, creates a false sense of imperviousness to infection in many wearers, and for many people creates subtle sensations of claustrophobia (because it's not normal to have something strapped across your face for long periods of time). Our children go to a summer camp where it's been in the high 90s this week and one of the poor kids in attendance is being made to wear a mask by his family. Aside from the absurdity of wearing a mask outside (totally unnecessary and pointless), I guarantee he is also being harmed by this, if perhaps not permanently (but how impermanent is it if his parents apparently intend to mask forever)?
I am getting forgetful and I am still in my early 70s. Just going to do things which I already did at the moment, no safety issues. But I am aware this is a gentle trajectory. Your quest for a solution is kind, but be aware that things may start to slowly become more problematic. It's worth considering the longer term as well. My father in law is in his 90s. He can barely manage anything now.

Not sacred enough for you to invoke the Holocaust in a discussion about data protection legislation and the "right to be forgotten" within mere hours of this statement, however...

Well, blue check thing is part of the tribal reasons - "the plebes can have the blue checks now, the place is going to hell!".

As for the feed algos, there may be some truth to that, I personally have no idea since I never looked at the "feed" - I only ever engaged twitter by using direct links or reading the twitstream of specific people I was interested in. But I could imagine algorithm changes could ruin somebody's carefully constructed bubble and that could be upsetting. The reasons given in the article though have a strong political bent.
Nearly all of these towns are slowly dying. Young people leave and few come back. Nationwide its a lot of people but many of these towns are literally a few dozen people or less who will never leave because they live in a home for almost nothing or they have a family home they have inherited.

Before that it goes to the one named "" and if that doesn't exist, the one with default_server.

Despite the all-in opinion in this particular thread, my take is a little more nuanced. The modern versions of Spring are a breath of fresh air (no pun) compared to the older ones. It still does have a bit of a kitchen sink feel when you build something non-trivial, and some of the magic of the boot approach can become hard to reason about. You may prefer a simpler worldview of an alternative runtime, and you can also benefit from shorter compiles/quicker startup, etc.

That said, the downsides aren't really that bad. It's got a strong community, will obviously still be around in 5 years, and the JVM is seeing strong investment and modernization. All in all, it'd be a strong contender if I was putting my money on the line. I'm still a fan of the simplest-thing-that-can-work approach (in the old days it was Jetty + Guice + whatever else you wanted), but modern Spring isn't all that far off from the experience anymore.
