It says she “Led the push for the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Act, federal worker unionization”. Federal worker unionization is very undemocratic b/c federal employees essentially blackmail voters. They become untouchable.

Adobe used to have an app called Fireworks that was great for non-artists. They got it when they bought Macromedia. Too bad they killed it. I hope Graphite will replace it.

Thanks! That is very interesting.

They’ve had great tools along these lines in the Clojure world where the repl/shell has been around longer (deps.edn+repl and boot).

When i read the title, I thought they were finally going to fix gradle or improve maven. Those are the real on-ramps and they are a much bigger barrier to entry than main().

A cleaner/simpler alternative was Kobalt, but it’s now abandoned. A simple, official build tool would make the ecosystem easier to learn.

I’ve been looking forward to this since the nimbella acq, but now I feel betrayed by the new pricing and probably won’t even try it.

Are there any non-chinese suppliers of gsm gateways?

If you’re on Kotlin, consider http4k

It can use netty, undertow, and others under the hood

That’s the idea in Proof of time and space used by chia.net

You probably haven’t heard of this coin/network (invented by the inventor of bittorrent) b/c it doesn’t aim to be a speculative asset, but it does have a very sane programming model (in lisp)

Specifically, I was unable to find the gradle shadow/maven shade rules needed to use the jdk9+ version of the multi-release dependency "com.sun.xml.ws:jaxws-rt:2.3.5".

The reply I got on Stackoverflow from the person I think is the maintainer is "don't use fat jars", which is probably the correct solution, although most people use fat jars.

Lately, I've been reading that layered docker images should be a faster way to build and deploy java apps that have many tens of MB of dependencies that never change. It only works if you don't use fat jars.

Unfortunately, the only explanation I found for my troubles with SOAP and java 11 is found in the comments to this answer in StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58319199/java-lang-class...

Publishing some flavor of SOAP services seems to be easy and common in companies that live in the Microsoft ecosystem.

I’m no fan of that, but unfortunately we are forced to use some such SOAP services.

Yes. But in the move to java 9 they broke java’s customary backward compatibility and left behind a lot of users.

It doesn’t help that there is no good, clear and complete guide on how to upgrade SOAP clients.

I went through this recently and learned that because jakarta uses multi-release jars, we have to do the regular dependency changes and also change our fat-jar based build/release to Docker images. In other words, they decided to throw out decades of users’ investment in learning the ecosystem.

I’m not surprised that people seem to be leaving the ecosystem.

Which one of those has the best hardware?

It was harder than I expected to find the changelog so I’ll leave the link

Yes, the Kotlin compiler does this. Suspending functions are based in CPS.

Cedric Beust made a great alternative to Gradle called Kobalt. Unfortunately, Jetbrains went with Gradle — probably in order to associate Kotlin with a known entity.

Now we are stuck in a terrible situation where step 1 of any java/kotlin project is unpleasant because you have to write a long XML file (Maven) or a magical and incomprehensible build file in groovy/kts (Gradle).

Meanwhile AWS uses google’s GWT to great effect

Maybe the real problem with the paper is that it points out that GPT-3 and the like can completely distort search results by filling the web with auto-generated spam. Botnets could link spam pages to each other and even generate traffic. If that got into the wrong hands, we would be unable to distinguish truth from fiction.

If the general public heard of this, Google’s stock price might be hurt. In such a bot-filled world, humans might prefer to start their searches in walled-gardens or on sites that could better-validate content.

Have you taken a look at Pulumi? If infrastructure is going to be code, I’d like to code it in a type-safe DSL please. Otherwise refactoring is hell (as in Ansible).

Another promising effort in this direction is Jetbrains Space, which features CI config in a Kotlin DSL.

What part of the EU are you in?

The Nvidia Jetson Nano costs the same and is less likely to be killed-off after you’ve invested in the platform.

Jetson is actually an important product for Nvidia and Google tends to kill off this type of pet project.

Google/alphabet might have more success with their side-bets if they spun them out as separate companies like Xiaomi and Haier (both Chinese) seem to do.

Facebook is terribly buggy and also has google-level customer service (none)

Baeldung has decently up-to-date tutorials.

Try kotlin instead of Java, and if you must use java, read the book Effective Java.

If you use kotlin, check out ktorm for db access, http4k for http api’s

Is it very different from probabilistic programming (a term that is both older and easier to understand)?

Erik Meijer gave two great talks on the concept.

Apps could be a valuable tool if we were willing to really change how we vote: put candidates in order of preference. Doing that on paper is not intuitive. The problem is, established politicians and politicos know and prefer the complex game that they know: one vote + electoral college.

So, you are infected? How does it compare to the flu? Are symptoms very different?

Best wishes for your recovery!

Kotlin is a palliative that makes android dev nearly tolerable. Flutter is way better, even though Dart is not as good as Kotlin.

I’m surprised the Economist doesn’t know ARM is British!

EXPLAIN is almost useless on mysql, but very helpful in postgres.

EXPLAIN is a very useful command once you have some degree of success (users).
