moondowner··on Rife Is a Framework Experiment
Why would you need Oracle JDK specifically? There are so many reliable JDK builds by other parties. https://sdkman.io/jdks

I'm personally using Amazon Corretto (is in the SKDMan link)

moondowner··on Electric Clojure – A signals DSL for full-stack web UI
I see a sample todo app in their repo, so yes, one can run it and check out how it works https://github.com/hyperfiddle/electric-starter-app
moondowner··on Show HN: Otterkit – COBOL compiler for .NET
For anyone interested in COBOL, where can I check out the COBOL 2022 standard?
moondowner··on New Sony Walkman music player
I'm pretty happy with the Hidizs AP80 PRO-X (priced just under $200), but the Walkman devices are the endgame.
moondowner··on FTX Contagion
Not sure why Binance is not listed in Investors, as they are actually the first investor in FTX.

moondowner··on Java’s Cultural Problem
The things you hate about working with Java, that you mention in the first paragraph, are the basic things that Java devs have to do, or actually any dev in any language.
moondowner··on Java’s Cultural Problem
"Java is good by modern standards, from a technical perspective, the platform having received a lot of improvements from Java 8 to 17. Unfortunately, it still stinks, and the problem is its "enterprise" culture."

Then the author rants about a specific Java-based framework and does not mention anything about the use of Java in the enterprise or any supposed cultural problems it may have.

moondowner··on What's the Future of IDEs?
Eclipse Che has been doing this for a while as well. https://github.com/eclipse/che
moondowner··on Dolt is Git for data
Impressed by the documentation https://datprotocol.github.io/how-dat-works/
moondowner··on VirtualBox 6.0 released
The UI is written in Qt. E.g. for older VirtualBox versions, the virtualbox-qt package was required to be installed in order to have the GUI.
moondowner··on Native Clojure with GraalVM
It's actually much harder to convince someone to use Ruby or Clojure rather than Java, especially in enterprise projects.
moondowner··on Show HN: Dancemusic.wtf – Quiz Game for Learning Electronic Dance Music Styles
A 'Next' button maybe, e.g. a person guesses the genre in the first sample and doesn't feel like waiting.
moondowner··on Show HN: Dancemusic.wtf – Quiz Game for Learning Electronic Dance Music Styles
This would look like a good test for someone applying for maintaining DI.FM channels.
moondowner··on Announcing Fuse Open
Or something about JBoss Fuse..
moondowner··on Don’t buy System76 hardware and expect to get firmware updates from the LVFS
To be honest these are premium prices: https://system76.com/laptops

moondowner··on Truffle: Ethereum Dapp Development Framework
Yeah... I thought this would be something about Graal/Truffle and Ethereum...

Meizu uses Exynos chips on their smartphones, looks like they are the only OEM so far.. http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/Exynos/Newsroo...
moondowner··on Ask HN: What's the worst Oracle can do to OpenJDK?
As I see the main reason to use this switch is to be able to use Java Flight Recorder.

Any references that this switch is a paid 'feature'? And what other options are behind it?

moondowner··on Kotlin is the hero Android needs
"Remember filtering lists with for loops? Thanks to the functional approach to collections, we can also reduce all the complex, multiline instructions to only one line of code."

Erm, same can be done in Java with the Java 8 stream API.

I like Kotlin and use it with Spring, but articles like this where programming languages are not compared properly make me cringe.

moondowner··on Chai – An open source neural network library
And in almost half of the world ;) (e.g. all the red dots in the map http://wals.info/feature/138A#2/25.5/143.8)
moondowner··on Apache NetBeans Proposal
It's still the same... "OpenOffice, after years of neglect, could shut down" http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/09/openof...
moondowner··on North Korea Owes Sweden €300m for 1000 Volvos It Stole 40 Years Ago

moondowner··on Announcing Google Research, Europe
I guess ETH Zurich and EPFL are the reason why Google chose Switzerland "Europe is home to some of the world’s premier technical universities, making it an ideal place to build a top-notch research team"
moondowner··on ClickHouse – high-performance open-source distributed column-oriented DBMS
I guess the community will step in and for starters will: add support for other Linux distros, and add comments in English alongside Russian in the source code.
moondowner··on Cayley – An open-source graph database
http://orientdb.com/orientdb/
moondowner··on Microsoft to acquire LinkedIn for $26B
Microsoft actually created their own social network: http://www.so.cl/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So.cl

And Microsoft bought Yammer - an "enterprise social network for businesses".
