vips7L··on What ORMs have taught me: just learn SQL (2014)
That’s a problem with ecto and not ORMs. A good ORM will be able to do that hashmap mapping.
vips7L··on JEP 539: Strict Field Initialization in the JVM moved to preview
All the time. Oracle and the OpenJdk team do VM changes way more than language changes.

I swapped to Avaje Jsonb a while ago. Can’t recommend it and the rest of the Avaje libraries enough, especially Ebean instead of Hibernate.

> sun.misc.Unsafe

Yeah idk man sounds like it sucks to suck in this case. Don’t use unsafe.

From your example: record Local(LocalDate ld) {}

Will work perfectly fine with every deserializer I’ve ever seen.

vips7L··on JEP 539: Strict Field Initialization in the JVM moved to preview
Extremely easy to fix. Turn it into a record. I’m also pretty sure that cracking final fields is already disabled by default.
vips7L··on Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions
> I can't think of a functional reason for a no-AI policy

Imagine morals.

vips7L··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
Idk man. The thing they built looked gigantic and wouldn’t fit in a tv console at all.
vips7L··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
Yeah man I think your logic is massively flawed. You’re making assumptions based on your own preferences. Not every gamer is going to prefer the latest gpu and yes there are plenty of gamers whose libraries are filled with games that are meant for controllers and consoles, in fact I’d argue that this is more common than your choices.
vips7L··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
Wasn’t it also like 4x the size?
vips7L··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
I think you’re massively under valuing people who have giant Steam libraries and want to be able to use them in a console like experience.

Lots of people don’t want to buy a ps5 and split ecosystems. Lots of people don’t want to tinker with sunshine.

vips7L··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
I don’t think having to write bash is a console like experience.
vips7L··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
Booohooo the people who stole everything they have want to cry about having what they produced stolen???
vips7L··on Minecraft: Java Edition 26.2, the first version with Vulkan 1.2
Probably just iOS since Apple bans JIT compilers other than their own.
vips7L··on Excessive nil pointer checks in Go
Kotlins nice, mutability in the collections and nullable types are nice but they still lack some form of checked error handling. I really wish they would have taken checked errors exceptions further and made them usable.
vips7L··on Bun has an open PR adding shared-memory threads to JavaScriptCore
Last study I read said it was 6x.
vips7L··on Bun has an open PR adding shared-memory threads to JavaScriptCore
Time bombs and just 2-3x the amount of code for the same thing. I recently rewrote a Claude generated feature from 3000 lines to 800. I guess AI fans are just predicting that no one will have to read the code in the future or something like that.
vips7L··on Bun has an open PR adding shared-memory threads to JavaScriptCore
Claude is riddled with bugs. That doesn’t inspire confidence.
vips7L··on Project Valhalla, Explained: How a Decade of Work Arrives in JDK 28
Most people use percentages now for containers.

  -XX:MaxRamPercentage=70

But they are working on removing that: https://openjdk.org/jeps/8377305
vips7L··on Hyundai buys Boston Dynamics
This is major cope. They torrented copyrighted works. It’s theft. It is in no way equivalent to photocopying pages.
vips7L··on Hyundai buys Boston Dynamics
It might be "fair use" on the way out, but AI companies certainly didn't pay for a copy of every book in existence to train on. It's also straddling a super fine line between legality and morality.
vips7L··on Project Valhalla, Explained: How a Decade of Work Arrives in JDK 28
We’ve had Scala for years.
vips7L··on Project Valhalla, Explained: How a Decade of Work Arrives in JDK 28
Any reason why? My entire company is on 21-25. Except for one project that decided to use sun.internal.* classes.
vips7L··on Nim Conf 2026 (Online, Sat June 20)
My coworkers never cared about this even before the age of slop.
vips7L··on AI is code – and can't be prompted into being smarter
> the software would just get pulled as a supply-chain risk and b) the developer would likely be blacklisted. Again, accomplishing nothing.

Oh no the people I don’t want using my software aren’t going to use it. The horror.

vips7L··on AI is code – and can't be prompted into being smarter
Nah just this forum. Plenty of people in the real world still have their sanity. This place doesn’t.
vips7L··on The Birth and Death of JavaScript (2014)
Pretty sure AdWords is built on dart too
vips7L··on Rio de Janeiro's "homegrown" LLM appears to be a merge of an existing model
Sounds like the whole AI movement.
vips7L··on The Birth and Death of JavaScript (2014)
They should have pushed dart instead of Go imo.
vips7L··on The Birth and Death of JavaScript (2014)
Darts an amazing language too.
vips7L··on AI OSS tool repo goes archived over night after raising $7.3M Seed
I thought ai was writing all the code. What do they need engineers for?
