Strict Field Initialization is opt-in. A flag needs to be set in the classfile in order to enable it. So should not effect any existing code.

I’ll never use a tractor. Real farming is done with a horse and plow.

I've gone the other way from Denmark to UK. And I've often had to mail copies of my passport or other identity documents via email. And my bank requires me to regular scan my face to check that it aligns with the picture in my passport.

New comment by kasperni in "HPV vaccination reduces oncogenic HPV16/18 prevalence from 16% to <1% in Denmark"

kasperni — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 12:06:11 +0000

It has really been a great success in Denmark.

In the 1960s, more than 900 people were diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, corresponding to more than 40 cases per 100,000 Danes.

Today, that number is below 10 per 100,000 nationwide – and among women aged 20 to 29, only 3 out of 100,000 are affected. This is below the WHO’s threshold for elimination of the disease.
