On Google I get the link to the download page as 3rd result, and on DuckDuckGo is the first result.
There might also be some confusion related to the fact openjdk.org only called its builds “openjdk” for version 8 and for versions 11+. Versions 7, 9 and 10 were just called “JDK” so technically there’s no such thing as “openjdk 10”.
60M total but divided among 40 counties makes 1.5M variations per county and the capital city (which is its own county, like Berlin) went over that.
I looked it up and Bucharest actually has only a 1.7M population so… I think it’s understandable that nobody expected an almost 1:1 person-to-car ratio. Exactly why and how they reached that crazy ratio I have no idea. 😆
Told you it’s a crazy rabbit hole.
Yeah this is pretty much non-news at this point. The last unencumbered versions of JDK and JRE from Oracle went out in 2019, that’s 5 years ago, and they’re still allowing a grace period of another 6 months.
I mean don’t get me wrong, Oracle sucks and the way they go about licensing is shit, but at this point come on. If a company hasn’t bothered to get rid of Oracle’s version of Java for the last 6 years maybe they want to get shafted? I don’t kink-shame.
What do you mean? It’s very easy to find the download page for OpenJDK, and Adoptium’s Temurin seems to be equally easy to find.
Speaking of car plates, the Wikipedia pages for “Vehicle license plates of [insert country here]” are a rabbit hole.
I was just reading the page for Romania the other day, speaking of uniqueness, and they had this issue apparently where the combinations overall were enough for the whole country but not enough for their capital city, so they had to hack an extra digit into the plates for the capital.
These days I follow a hard heuristic: Always use synthetic keys for database tables.
And the way to follow this rule is fairly simple, but it has a few twists.
For internal use, the best and most common key (in a relational database) is an auto-generated incremental sequence. But it it ok to use it externally? – across databases, across types of data storage, across APIs / services etc.
It’s tempting to refer to the sequence number in API calls, after all they are going to that particular database and are only going to be used with it, right? Well not necessarily; the database and the code powering the API are different systems, who says there won’t be other apps accessing the database for example.
The current OpSec school of thought is that sequence keys are an internal database mechanism and sequence numbers should only be used for internal consistency, never used as external references (even for the “local” API).
Sequence keys also don’t offer any way to deal with creating duplicate data entries. If you’ve been around for a while you’ve seen this, the client sends the same “create” request twice for whatever reason (UI lets user multiple-click a button, client assumes timeout when in fact it had gone through etc.) Some programmers attempt to run heuristics on the data and ignore successive create attempts that look “too similar” but it can backfire in many ways.
An UUID is pretty much universally supported nowadays, its designed to be unique across a vast amount of systems, doesn’t give anything away about your internal mechanisms, and if you ask the client to generate the UUID for create requests you can neatly solve the duplicate issue.
Do keep in mind that this doesn’t solve the problem of bijection across many years and many systems and many databases. An entity may still acquire multiple UUID’s, even if they’re each individually perfectly fine.
There can also be circumstances where you have to offer people a natural-looking key for general consumption. You can’t put UUID’s on car plates for example.
Oh boy I hate the branding. I’ve gotten some really nice swag this way but I can’t use them because they’re so obnoxiously branded. I’m not going to the beach for example with a Dickhead Company stamped large on the beach towel, or going out of the house with it on the umbrella. Pens, battery are ok.
How did they know how to break things down into tasks? How did they know if a task would fit in a sprint? 😄
Well it has labeled breaks but that’s the closest it gets to it.
The ToS only defines the license to distribute and display. It does not define how users and consumers of that distribution may or may not use the content. So from this instance alone, there could be an argument of “the comment defines how it may be used”.
No, there can’t. If the ToS doesn’t give you any permissions it means you have none.
When you post something you give the site a copy of content, under the license in the ToS. From that moment onward you lose all rights to that copy and cannot re-license or do anything with it anymore, period. It’s not your piece of content anymore, it’s the site’s.
Your original piece of content is still yours and you hold copyright. That’s the piece that you were holding on your device, in your RAM or on your disk, before you posted it. If you held onto a copy of it you have full rights to it. If you lost it after you posted it, too bad.
The site cannot re-license their copy under different terms because it doesn’t hold copyright, it only holds a license (albeit under very wide terms).
Other users are not included in the license. They can’t do anything with the content except what’s allowed under personal use.
I should hope each instance has a provision for posters to grant it an irrevocable, perpetual license to what they post. All instances should. Federation should also have clear terms.
Why are you adding it? It’s not valid. You don’t own the content you post online anymore. They’re copies of your original content, to which you’ve already granted whatever license the website uses. You can’t re-license those particular copies, it’s out of your hands.
They show us the cloud bills at my work. It’s a sobering moment when you see the monthly price tag for your team’s development work.
I’m not saying it’s not justified or that the company doesn’t make up for that cost many times over but it’s very useful to have a real world reference.
Can we please stop with the license crap attached to posts? It’s annoying and also pointless.
Seconded. There’s no way to do OAuth with Google or Facebook without registering your app with them. The only reason it works with Auth0 is because they’re supplying the app for you, but only during development.
If you find it more comfortable to keep swapping checkouts in the same dir that’s cool. I’m just explaining that some of use find it easier to keep several different checkouts around, and sparse checkouts are helpful when you do that.
Because you’d have to stash your modifications to be able to switch branch. The stash is a stack so very limited in what it can do (just push and pop). You might prefer to commit on a temporary branch instead. But you might also need some parts from your current modifications for the bug fix, at which point having it taken away on another branch or in stash won’t do. I would usually end up resorting to doing another checkout side by side anyway, and if I can make it a sparse checkout it’s even better.
And also JS.
Well “kill” is perhaps a strong word but it definitely won’t be JS anymore at that point. The changes required to bake in strong type support would be radical.
You can download past versions of OpenJDK going back to 7 from the link I gave above.
