  1. Death always takes a lifetime.

  2. What the heck is a Java web dev? Do any browsers even support applets any more!? (i.e., I thought Java was only used for back-end work these days ...) (EDIT: To clarify, I mean this as a good-faith question -- sincerely curious what you mean by that!)

  3. The very notion of 'war crimes' is absurd ... 'Yes, let's try to kill one another and inflict maximal damage ... but we'll follow some arbitrary rules.'

  4. He's a non-expert doing his best to explain ... and he's making an extremely valid point about helping other people to understand instead of being a useless troll.

  5.  @4BillC  I'm with you there ... Like, fighter jets have really great MFDs and I want those in cars ... With real physical buttons! And no pay to have your arse warmed or get access to 100 more hp! But, I'd love an open car I can control via a terminal because I'm a giant nerd🤷‍♀️

  6. Lolwut? Java's the new Cobol -- it'll be doing enterprise-y business things and JITing when the sun goes nova.

  7.  @d.sherman8563  Hey, guess what's a 'fabulous' idea? We have this hideous, poorly-designed language that's fundamentally single-threaded ... let's bundle it with an asynchronous I/O library and use it to build servers ... what could go wrong!? (But, we'll be modern and slap a type system on top of it so we can say things like 'transpile' and feel like we're using a legit programming language.)

  8. Nothing like a fun patch-the-CVE-panic to make ya feel alive!

  9.  @pricelesspancake  But I'm the idiot who crosses the street on red in front of a taxi in Manhattan 😇🤷‍♀️

  10.  @djgeorgetsagkadopoulos  Just like SOME text editors are nearly operating systems (Emacs/VSCode/IntelliJ) and some just edit text (Nano/Ed) ... SOME loggers are overcomplicated monstrosities that handle things beyond logging ... some just write timestamped text and rely on their users to do SQL queries or interpolate text.🤷‍♀️

  11. Citation needed ... Per Wikipedia: 'The language was initially called Oak after an oak tree that stood outside Gosling's office. Later the project went by the name Green and was finally renamed Java, from Java coffee, a type of coffee from Indonesia.'

  12. Yeah, command injection / arbitrary code execution.

  14. Probably not. The number you see isn't up-to-date. Eventual consistency.

  15. I mean your brain is just an analogue computer ...

  16.  @4BillC  Cars operationally better (and more expensive) because computers (better auto transmissions, traction control, better fuel economy, etc). But if you mean that 'pay us every month for access to features', that's total rent-seeking bs.

  17.  @foxtailedcritter  That's JS not Java ... They have similar names and lots of curly braces ... but basically nothing else in common.

  18. The Tucc!

  19.  @edweard  Log4j's been around over 20 years which probably is more relevant? No idea how long it's had the exploit waiting to be discovered, though.

  20. I think you mean 100% WRITE only?

  21.  @TigerXGame  By 'read its input' do you mean 'get arguments passed to it on the stack via function calls' ... or something else? (I wouldn't call that read access -- it's not doing I/O.)

  22.  @djgeorgetsagkadopoulos  I'd have the application do all of the interpolation and have the logging library, ya know, do logging? That's what I've done in all of the logging libraries that I've made -- in the spirit of the Unix philosophy: Do one simple well-defined thing ... then, compose with other things to extend 🤷‍♀️

  23. I've heard both from people who work in cybersecurity. It's like 'gif': There will always be people who say it wrongly.

  24. You humans are weird. The rest of us don't have nanny states telling us what substances we may / may not ingest. Be free, eat yummy bugs and plants.

  26.  @johnymey4034  They'll still be Java'ing in decades ... It's just like how there are still Cobol devs. Somebody has to maintain the delightful legacy systems.

  27.  @Smitty_Werbenjagermanjenson  I mean, I'll grant that SOME back-end work is used to power websites, but it's a generally-orthogonal skillset ... Do you consider work on non-HTTP servers (e.g. ,gRPC) to be 'web dev', as well!? ... what about devs who work on, well, either front- or back-end of either mobile or desktop apps (which probably use the internet but probably do not use the web)? This totally is at-odds with my tech taxonomy.

  28.  @andrews8722  A SQL injection is a specific sort of arbitrary code execution. Square vs rectangle.
