The CEO is worth 7B+. 1000 employees at 100k/yr would cost him 100M - less than his net worth fluctuates on any given day and only 20% of other costs savings they have identified.

Executives care little about the stakeholders: the employees, the customers, the community. It's their company, too. They only care about investors and themselves. People who "own" pay a lower tax rate than those that "work". Let's fix that and make things great again.

Excellent work on Tribal Trouble. I'm a huge Java fan and I had no idea this existed (usually you only hear about Minecraft and RuneScape). I wonder how much OpenGL/LWJGL code there is. It could maybe run in the browser with CheerpJ or TeaVM if that code could be ported to WebGL.

My labor of love is SnapCode: https://reportmill.com/SnapCode . It has a small interface (camera + vertex buffer) that can run on either desktop or in browser.

This would also be a great candidate for JDeploy (https://jdeploy.com), too, to provide a nice download package for multiple platforms.

Because of Trump, and just like Trump, this is a perfect storm. Unrestrained AI and crypto are causing a surge in demand at the same time Trump is spitefully and recklessly killing wind and solar installations and subsidies.

Trump-licans - the party of mean and stupid and self-destruction.

I totally agree with this! Oracle still spends time and money promoting Java client, and the browser is now the largest client platform. They could really revitalize Java client by backing CheerpJ.

I need to check out the tailscale solution, although CheerpJ also makes it trivial to plug in a proxy server, which I currently do in my app that supports cross origin.

I use CheerpJ to do new development that is spectacularly cross-platform, runs native on all the major platforms and everywhere else in the browser with a single code base. I don't think there are too many alternatives for that and I suspect Java + CheerpJ is one of the best.

SnapCode Java 11 IDE in the browser

jeffreportmill1 — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 12:51:12 +0000

The latest version of SnapCode supports Java 11 in the browser (the download version supports Java 21). SnapCode offers real native Java Client graphics in the browser and desktop.

SnapCode is free and uses the CheerpJ browser JVM to run real Java in the browser. CheerpJ is moving quickly this year to support the latest versions of Java. Java 11 now, Java 17 this summer, and release parity next year.

It seems obvious that elon hasn't even showed up for work in years. His only real tesla-related effort has been to try to strong-arm an illegal 50B pay package. The board should be replaced for negligence and he should be fired for malfeasance and fraud. I'll bet the stock would jump 10%+ overnight.

The idea that he's the richest man in the world is a joke. Half his rapidly declining wealth is based on SpaceX, a "360B" company with no profit and < 12B in revenue that blows up and burns up its own products more often than not.

Nice post! Makes a good case for getting/keeping java in the classroom.

Be sure and check out SnapCode: https://reportmill.com/SnapCode . It also offers a lot of ‘paving the onramp’ features.

I'm a huge fan of JDeploy - deployment used to be my biggest headache. Now I just run 'jdeploy' in the command line, change the version in the UI app and hit the 'Publish' button.

Show HN: Java Markdown – living docs with Java code

jeffreportmill1 — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 12:56:07 +0000

I've been playing with the idea of living documents with Java code. I found the notebook paradigm slightly frustrating and thought the markdown paradigm more interesting.

This is preliminary, but what do you think?

That may be the wrong question, though that might help avoid the sunk cost fallacy ("It's better to burn out, than fade away!"). On the other hand, sticking with things has its benefits, with an eye towards a pivot. The right question may have more to do with speed than scale. Best to try and find partners in your endeavor. Then you can succeed or fail twice as fast, and try more things. And have more fun along the way.
