Any highlights? I haven’t watched any yet but I’ve learned a lot from Venkat Subramaniam’s prior presentations
It will only help the earliest of beginners. If java 1.1 included this i would understand, but at this point I don't see it
They all require the template processor to be specified, but I'm likely to convert hundreds or thousands of lines of existing string concatenation to templates in one of my projects and I really appreciate that the only \{ that show up will be the ones I create.
Why single bevel?
I think most sandals don't have a divider between the big toe and the rest. I think of sandals as any casual, open-toed shoes.
I very much agree that it's related to the recent extreme sexualization of feet
Gen alpha is trying to get everyone to wear socks with sandals
Wow that looks really nice. Going into it I was expecting it to be a crappy procedural language, but it looks like a really nice alternative to SQL
I've noticed the same thing. "Undefined" should be a valid language but isn't in the list. I can comment/post via the web app if i set the language each time but I haven't been able to with jerboa.
I think complete extinction is pretty unlikely, I expect that small enclaves will continue to exist. And if there are still humans in 100 years there will still be humans in 10,000 years.
I can't say that I agree with your vision of an ideal society, but it sounds pretty good if you want to keep capitalism and capitalists
My 10 year old and I were recently gifted bows. His has a listed weight of 25-40#, mine is 55-70#. What does it mean that it's a range?
Your comment shows as3minutes old and the original post as 9. So that's consistent. @HollowNotion@lemmy.world, did we pass?
What communities/instances are you dominating your /c/all? Asking because I was hoping for more leftist discussion and I'm not really seeing it outside of lemmygrad.
Edit: I'm mostly following programming.dev and lemmyrs.org, so I'm not really looking too hard. And I appreciate beehaw, but it feels more center left than left.
Your analysis looks right to me. If this were mine I'd initialize all three before submitting any.
Java 11 allows you to paste in JavaScript and it largely just works
Var is not Javascript. It's not even type inference. It just reduces redundancy in the boilerplate.
The module changes are a PITA, but not increasingly difficult. There aren't really other big backwards incompatible changes
The actual backend improvements keep being pushed
What changes are you referring to?
Can't watch the video right now but it makes a ton of sense that java would be having a resurgence. Pre-java 8 it felt like the every day I ran into problems it would be easier to solve in other languages. I'm still mostly on 8 and it feels pretty modern still. I'm super excited to move to 17 and 21 for all the new features, though.
139 down 60 and change to go.

I've been paying attention to the JEPs, but this includes the general API changes that there aren't jeps for.
Java 21 is almost too good to be true: It finalizes virtual threads, sequenced collections, generational ZGC, and the pattern matching basics; evolves the st...

virtual threads, sequenced collections, generational ZGC, pattern matching, structured concurrency preview , vector preview, string templates preview
I can consistently access a couple of tech communities at beehaw.org, but consistently cannot access politics@beehaw.org or news@beehaw.org.
Is this by design, or is it growing pains? I'm willing to wait if it's likely to get fixed but I'll get another account elsewhere if that's just how our federation is set up.
