Funny how quickly the industry "forgot" self moderation with simple "report abuse" links because they wanted to sell more ads.

Moderation was solved in the 90s.

Feature soup is kind of meaningless. The open source community has whatever it needs now.

Many "alot" of java programmers in the US cant code to JDK8 already. I love the JVM but these Java releases are not being adopted on any real scale for a reason. They break things. And syntax sugar is boring and unnecessary for a crew of software engineers that have no real ethos surrounding records or any of these features.

They are just being rolled out to appease devs from other ecosystems. They will not form a new or better method for building systems or improve performance.

I find this article weird. Aping Sinatra is not an innovation. Java reflection is essentially zero cost after the JIt runs.

The idea of "this is what you type" to make a REST endpoint or client call is a non-starter and non-issue.

This code in any shop worth its salt has been generate for years off of metadata.

If you are typing in rest code into any language, you are holding it wrong.

This does nothing that important. I do detest annotation soup, but what would be more useful is to simply generate a competent rest service and client from the openai spec. There is nothing performant or magical about using Java here.

In fact the comments on performance are pretty dumb. The JIT compiler is the only source of performance in the jvm and you will never make a performance optimization that beats the JIT

I agree with the hoarding bit. I'm not an fan of that either. But I'm much less of a fan of the self importance of tech pretending this "data" has any more use than temporary ad surveillance until they delete it or resell it.

The US congress would never bother regulating

These things and by things I mean the dumpsterfication of social media content or internet content because it has no value.

Those same things don't "influence elections" and traumatized children and supposedly destroy society.

Social media is a fancy dumpster fire and that's all it will ever be. It burns out and starts anew from some other source.

First some facts and then some news.

The first rule of social networks is you can't touch them or they will die.

Proof: Aol MySpace Twitter Facebook (Zuckerberg won't touch it now) Reddit

This is obvious except to billionaires.

Now for the news: the only content you see on social networks is designed to reinforce your supposedly persistent self and sell ads.

There is no other purpose for social media.

All social media content on the internet since the internet began will be deleted, lost and forgotten as there will be no profit motive to do otherwise.
