The goal is to design the services and corporate structure in such a way that, if the parent company was forced by US law to try to get ESC data, the operator would be forced by EU law to not comply. In extremis, the partition would be shut down, rather than release the data.

I think we're moving past this fear, thankfully. When you look at newer Java features (records, destructuring, value types) you see that even in the most stereotypical OOP language we are developing a language to describe both behavior (what we always had, with SOLID and domain classes and so on), but also a lightweight language to operate on pure data.

I agree with the article for the most part (except the last snippet where the author reverted to bare, mutable fields), but the point was very badly argued.

I think we really need to consider that sometimes you want a place to hold together data, and some other times you are encoding some behavioral trait, and prior to records Java did not have a way of distinguishing between them.

My rule of thumb is to avoid exposing data in behavioral classes, and prefer immutable patterns for data holders. But sometimes it's not possible to not have setters (e.g. for builders and for JPA entities).

I’m a young Portuguese that left the country for better opportunities, part of the demographic this “author” claims to care for, and it’s hard to not feel disgust at the cynicism and extreme liberal bias. Apparently everything is the socialists’ fault and the center right parties just didn’t kowtow to fascists hard enough.

The Portuguese section is outdated regarding European Portuguese, where oi is already very used due to Brazilian influence

Is Velodrom the big sports complex by the Landsberger Allee station? If so, it makes sense. Afaik it is the biggest pool complex in the city, supporting olympic swimming and diving.

Desktop apps scale their layout based on the number of pixels, not on text size. So (with the notable exception of browser apps and by consequence Electron apps) you will just end up having bigger text in a badly laid out window if you just increase text size.

The amount of physical adjustments and maintenance needed to operate mirrors in the 15m+ diameter range, for visible and near IR/UV, are very hard in outer space. For now it seems that earth-bound optical telescopes are still needed, even with all the orbital debree and atmospheric interference.

I think you’re right in the aggregate and the abstract.

But it’s also funny that two of the situations you mentioned (Johnny Depp “victim” and Bud Light) are fake stories based on conservative media astroturfing where any judge would be hard pressed to find that there was unreasonable behaviour on the corporate end.

And of course, being a white knight only works if you’re privileged enough to be able to jump ship or fight your social wars and still have something to fall back on. Not everyone here is a US citizen with US resident parents and US college education, earns 6 figures, or has had decades of working experience to accumulate savings and make a CV.

There might be a long tail phenomenon at play here. Do you have stats on number of developers using the tech or on page views for each framework?

Some of the methods were explicitly lifted out of the Deque into this interface. Basically the aim of the new interface is to provide an unified experience and standard methods to all the collections that can feasibly support it.

ECS on Fargate is still serverless. It seems that people think only Lambda is serverless, when serverless just means "product category where you pay for the usage directly, instead of for the resources provisioned to serve it". Lambda is a burstable, short-lived compute service; it's only natural that it's not well suited to situations where you have predictably sustained high throughput and homogeneous task requirements. To not even talk about how dumb the original architecture was for shuffling frames in and out of S3.

You make a very wide set of assumptions about some kind of metaphysical complementarity inside a couple that erases homosexuality and presupposes some naturally ordained monogamy.

I am sorry, but unless you substantiate it in anthropological terms, it is utterly unfalsifiable and the argument should be thrown out in its entirety.

The lived experiences of many queer and polyamorous people, plus the evidence of "deviant" behaviours in many animal species and historical and present societies contradicts your prescriptions.

If you keep to the standard edition platform and never used internal APIs, you could argue Java never broke backwards compatibility, effectively having a 1. before every version number.

In practice, you could say that Java had only one major version bump: from 8 to 9, when it closed down internal APIs with Jigsaw and gave away Java EE to become Jakarta.

You can have your espresso standing up at the café's bar like an authentic southern European and avoid the problem? Sounds great! :D
