As someone who works with Java on a daily basis alongside a dozen other technology stacks, let me go out on a limb and say that I believe Oracle has been a stellar steward of the language. Java has been evolving quite nicely and at a reasonable pace, all without breaking the ecosystem or causing fragmentation. It certainly has its drawbacks, but doesn't everything?
Seems like apples to orange comparison. Text editors are always fast because they just don't provide that many features compared to an IDE. Language servers in my experience do not work that well for large projects. They feel pretty dumb. Refactoring tasks that miss some of the references is just one example. I frequently use multiple Jetbrains products like Rider, Idea, Webstorm, PyCharm, and CLion. No major complains. It takes some time to get going but after that it is mostly smooth sailing.
I don't know. A lot of countries in East Asia seem to struggle demographically just as much as Western countries do, if not more.
But at least it seems they didn't go for the easy solutions that is mass immigration, so hopefully their children's "seats" won't be taken when they finally wake up.
On the other hand, as someone living in Central Europe, it's obvious our society is heading towards a radical change. I don't know what will happen, but I don't recall ever reading about a indigenous population becoming a minority being a good thing for them.
I think its more about a rotten ideology and mass migration is only a symptom. Also it could make sense if you would actually care about taking people that are educated and willing to work.
Age verification efforts in the US have been privacy-attacking (demanding government ID) whereas the system being proposed in europe is privacy-preserving (zero-knowledge proof).
Not with this compatibility mess. I would trust ARM for a server/pc system, the day I can boot standard Debian Aarch64 image on them. Until then x86 it is.
I'm building Dropnote, a small tool for physical businesses.
Someone who is physically at a place can scan a QR code and leave a short message in their browser. No app, no account. Messages are asynchronous; staff reply when available. This is not live chat. It's meant for in-the-moment feedback or questions that don't justify interrupting staff or becoming public reviews.
Constraints: async only, anonymous by default, no customer tracking, messages tied to specific physical spots
