This cracked me up

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?

New comment by dingi in "No more JetBrains products for me"

dingi — Tue, 19 May 2026 05:29:04 +0000

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.

Yeah right. Depending on their spouse is not ok but depending on whims of a soulless corporation is ok. Do you hear yourself?

Wars are part of nature. It is inevitable. So your proposition is based on wrong assumptions.

Birth rates among liberal women in almost all developed societies suggest otherwise. Women are doing double duty and doing both badly. Women are relatively and absolutely less happier than they were 50 years ago. So I'm having hard time believing that this new norm is a win for anyone.

This issue looks partisan from the outset, but both sides push the same thing. They just use partisan justifications.

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

Free early access until Sept 30, 2026 (+ one extra free month). No credit cards (no payments yet). I'd love to hear your Feedback. Thank you.

Django is boring in a best possible way. Rather than spending six months setting up a bunch of microservices, you spend couple weeks on Django and ship a working product. Built in admin dashboard for example is a godsend at small scale.

They only care about Java -> Kotlin integration. Not the other way around. It has been like this for a long time. Looks like an extractive relationship to me to be frank.

Europe is stuck with American tech with no real alternatives in the horizon. Europe doing an independent stack is just wishful thinking.

Genuine question to US folks: Why do you guys seem to be hell bent on keeping and welcoming large number of illegal immigrants in your country? Almost no other country does that except western ones. From an outsider’s viewpoint, current approach of letting almost anyone in does not seem to work that well.

Vanilla Gnome user here. Gnome may look like it was designed for tablets but it has a keyboard shortcut for basically anything. So you don't do much of point and clicks if you know Gnome. You can but you don't have to. It just gets out of your way as they say.
