It keeps crashing my browser as well. I'm on Microsoft Edge.

Licensing for OpenJDK is non trivial. Look at the large table and various bullet points Oracle had to make to tell you the license. https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk-faqs.htm... (open the first dropdown on their FAQ page to open up their "licensing matrix")

This is a mess, and is the license going to change again while I'm locked in the java ecosystem?

Edit: It looks like the openjdk is consistently under the gplv2, I don't know why it has so many different entries in their table. I think I probably got opendjk and oracle jdk mixed up. I think the person I was replying to who said openjdk needs to be updated every half year got confused as well. It's so hard to even talk about all the different jdks without getting them mixed up or confused. Again, no other java competitors have this problem.

I was under the impression that openjdk changes licenses once a new version comes out. That's why the parent comment said "the only downside to openjdk is you have to upgrade every half year", right?

"Am I using the correct language runtime distribution (or version thereof) so I don't get into legal trouble?" Is a question none of Java's competitors have to ask.

Even using OpenJDK is a sword of damocles waiting to fall. If I forget to update OpenJDK, Oracle could come after me. It's just risk that I don't have to worry about by choosing not to go with Java. It's probably not a lot of risk, but it's risk nonetheless that doesn't exist with Java's competitors.

Competition is so fierce in the language space and there are so many good options that java can't afford to have any friction points like this.

EDIT: I got oracle openjdk and oracle jdk mixed up. They're different things. It looks like the oracle openjdk does not have its license change, the oracle jdk does. This is a problem/risk I don't have to worry about with any other language, but getting the two mixed up is on me.

Oracle makes me too uneasy. Can I use Java without the worry of incurring Oracle's wrath? Maybe, if I make sure I use openjdk/jump through some hoops I'll be fine. Or, I could just use any other language and not have that worry looming over me. C# is right there if I want a java-like experience without the anxiety of Oracle breaking my kneecaps.

I don't know how to use java and not violate one of Oracle's EULAs. I could read about it and figure out how to do it safely, or I could just not use java. Java isn't essential (for greenfield projects). There's lots of good alternatives, so I'd rather do that.

Not everything. There's also webkit.

Sonic Frontiers lets you control Sonic and do practice "minigames" while the game loads.

I'm getting some mixed messages in this thread alone. Who do I believe?

Over half of Canada's population lives farther south than Seattle, which is also crazy to think about.

I think the article was saying that these batteries are buildable with easy-to-find materials for anyone, USA included. I don't think there's anything in them that can only be found in the United States.

Me too! That's the only reason I know laptop-sized portable ultrasound machines exist. I had an internship there one summer where I wrote automation software for the M-Turbo.

Laptop-sized ultrasound machines have been a thing for at least a decade at this point. It feels insincere to frame ultrasound machines as these big things lugged around on carts still. Hospitals still like those, but there's plenty of pre-hospital ultrasound machines that are compact. Not smartphone compact, but it feels weird for the article to completely omit them.

I heard that some games added cheat codes so that they could sell those guide books with all sorts of cheat codes in them. I remember seeing them at my scholastic book fair in elementary school.

Lua was originally designed as a config language.

Seems to be working too. I hadn't even heard of lemmy until I saw this post on HN.

I know Paint.NET, WinSCP and HexChat does this (Microsoft Store).

I recently started using vivalid, which also has vertical tabs baked in. I tried some firefox browser extensions but I find them to be really sluggish and feel tacked-on.

What is "TC"?

I'm still waiting for a touchscreen version. Once that is ready I can't wait to get one!

You stole my name!

I'm kidding... for a while I wanted to make a game named "blyss". I own the blyss.io domain name. I'll sell it to you if you want!

What does "RTO" stand for?

Goodhart's law is very similar in concept.

What does "IAP" stand for?

Wolfram alpha gets it perfectly right [1], it's not like this is an insurmountable problem. One of the reasons I use this service for simple queries like this. I think siri and other voice assistants use it under the hood as well.

The exact same thing happened to me. I used to be an avid watcher of T90 but once he moved to facebook I almost completely stopped watching him. I described my experience elsewhere in this thread.

One of my favorite streamers signed an exclusivity deal with facebook gaming. It was an awful experience. The interface was confusing (I frequently just had to manually type the url of the page I wanted to go to because there was no way to navigate from the streamer's facebook page to their actual stream, as the stream was happening!). There was no stream notification system (the streamer had a discord where they would announce streams are happening, because otherwise nobody would ever know). All of the comments on streams were with facebook profiles. I don't want to use my real name for that kind of thing.

The entire experience felt incomplete and rushed, and I'm not surprised in the slightest that Facebook is throwing in the towel.

You've more or less described Wirth's Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth%27s_law

I love how the div id for the bottom is #hades

I absolutely love this article, and I like to re-read it every once in a while. It talks about the same thing: https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-...

Why did you feel the need to justify your Switch purchase? Do people judge others over that sort of thing?
