Well, the other side of the pond will continue its development. It would be better more resources are focused on this, but it'll go forward until your side comes to its senses again.

I think by now yawing and ignoring the rant is the appropriate reaction, because in the end it will be quite obvious if the facilities are destroyed or not. But by then the focus will have shifted to something else.

Depends on how you got the money. But this approach will work for Trump

One more time: never give a bully what he is bullying you for, because that will only trigger him to step it up. Don't be a push-over, but be forgiving. There is even statistical proof that has the best outcome (game theory) youtu.be/mScpHTIi-kM?...

Oh, my 2 cents on the 'do not retaliate' remark by Scott Bessent... FY. We didn't start this, we're just responding, so it is up to the US to stop it. No bowing to bullies, because that is EXACTLY what is happening here.

Nooooooo. Who would have thought? 😆😉

Even los van het verschikkelijke ongeluk; moet een vrachtwagen in staat zijn veilig een noodstop te kunnen maken? Dus zonder dat de lading door de kabine heen komt. Of te wel, is ook het de manier van vastzetten van de lading hier een oorzaak?

Las Vegas, in a casino looking like Venice?

You apparently need to spent more time on X to understand those reference... Nah, better don't. 😆

Rewatching firefly, I forgot how funny and upbeat it was. Sad I'm almost through.

Rewatching firefly. The characters, storyline and credibility in episode 5 are more engaging than STDIS ever was in 5 seasons

Que? I thought JSpring was invite-only speakers. Did the concept change?

Isn't that `sdk default java 21.0.4-tem`? 😁

It indeed seems we've finally converged onto Bluesky as the new twitter. Now we need toi drag the rest of the world over, so it becomes the #1 news source. And yes, even Elon, he only is not allowed to buy it. 😄

Dear community, last time you helped us reach lots of new BlueSky followers. Now that we see that there is an exodus on X, it is important that these people can also find us on BlueSky for all necessary updates about Ukraine.

Would you like to share this message, preferably with a quote? Thanks!

Basically what we're seeing is the AI version of inbreeding.

But AFAIK not wrong either. The increasing size of the human head is a problem with natural births, and one of the reasons for c-sections. If left to nature, these births would have caused the baby -probably also the mother- to die. So, logically, c-sections do allow for larger human brains.

@jetkvm.bsky.social what an absolutely beautiful piece of hardware. The build feels solid (it is surprisingly heavy for such a small device), and it just worked on the first try. Respect.

Usually I also find it weird that the media specifically mention a Tesla when some accident has happened. But with recent history, a Tesla in from of a Trump tower, yeah, makes total sense.

Okay. That I did not know.

With weather like this; grey, almost no wind, green energy production is close to zero (yesterday enough was produced for just two cities). And that has been many days already, no batteries can bridge that. We either need nuclear power or a very risky distributed network. 🤷‍♂️

Basically the ORM mapper is replaced with a JSON mapper. My initial reaction: is that truly all that an ORM is? If you leave out inheritance and such, it probably is. Is this JSON approach different from SQL and a ResultSet mapper? People use that, and it didn't kill the ORM. 🤔Hmm. Interesting.

Two months ago I -again- put myself into an uncomfortable position by doing a JFall talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCsG...

Amazing how you can go totally deep dive into Spring security, consider writing a custom authentication manager, hack around that using attributes on a request, and then end up with one measly null check in a return. 🙄 (Still marveling at the beauty of the solution - worthy of a chocolate reward.)

Indeed. And Gradle at it's core is declarative, and a good idea. Just take a look at any example docs.gradle.org/current/samp... If only they would have limited it to that. Dev has indeed changed a lot in last 18 years (except Maven 😉).

Can there really be a Maven vs Gradle discussion? I mean... One is broken all the time, the other just chugs along... For decades by now. What discussion? 😁

Finders keepers?

Let me belay that; I've got the first political account following me. No clue why, but I do not need to follow him/her/them back 😄

Totally agree! It just needs a bit more people, but the feeling is very nice. First time I have that with an alternative.

Isn't that what you guys are doing anyhow? 😋
