Land of the free, home of the (wage) brslaves

Already feels like this sometimes

Nintendo in my experience:

Physical: Get it right on release day (or in the first week after) in retail for about 40€, otherwise you will have to rely on rare good retail discounts to get it below 55€

Digital: Don’t you even dare to think about discounts

Yes, it’s just Oracle - Temurin, Coretto,… are all safe.

Oracle offers (paid) support for its Java distribution, which might be why it’s still used by companies…

Worse yet. They switched licensing and costs several times and companies should prepare to get hit with new licensing fees:

When they introduced Java 17 (a LTS version), they published it under the NTFC license. This means, this version is usable for free, but only until the next LTS version has been out for a year.

On Sep 19th 2023, Java 21 was released another LTS version. That means, that Java 17 just switched from the NTFC license to the OTNLA license a few days ago - which means, Java 17 is supported until 2029 but you now need a paid license to use it.

Hope everyone upgraded to Java 21 or newer in time.

Unless you were the one writing the program and its error messages - then check, that you didn’t mess up there…

Heck, I’ve heard the argument “We’re in retail [or insert other fittig market segments here] and Amazon is a direct competitor. Why the heck should we give them any money or any data*?” several times from several companies.

(*Where data not necessarily only meant giving them “company data” but e.g. also metadata about usage, etc. which cannot be avoided and which might give Amazon some insights)

Well yes, cough cough come in and wait cough with me for the cops, that I called on you. Also I hope cough you brought a mask toots nose and some disinfectant to not get infected by me.

Some also taste like chicken, I’ve heard.

They now run Arch btw

I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it’s weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when eye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o’er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore a veiling checker’s
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we’re lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know fault’s with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped word’s fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw’s are knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too pleas.

Not a C++ dev, but looking at Java, which has reflection: Reflection allows to inspect and modify runtime attributes of classes, interfaces, fields and methods. Even, when you don’t know their names at compile time.

Basically take any object and just ask “what are your (even private) fields?” and then happily modify them, or call these methods, or…

That’s why they use, what they know: Excel. I wonder if the UI was done in PowerPoint?

Imagine sexting smelling like fish…

 assert triangleObject.shouldFitInHole(triangleHole) == true

assert triangleObject.shouldFitInHole(squareHole) == false

Randomly rearranging non working code one doesn’t understand… sometimes gets working code, sometimes doesn’t fix the bug, sometimes it won’t even compile anymore? Has no clue what the problem is and only solves it randomly by accident?

Sounds like the LLM is as capable as me /s

That must be one of the if not THE most American headline out there!

Since almost everything on the right would be located in /home/<username> on the left, it should include some of the subdirectories of %windir%\

It’s the other way round: Education makes for less gullible people and for workers that demand more rights more freely and easily - and then those are coming for their yachts…
