Just got a Synology 4-bay NAS (their SHR hybrid raid is pretty neat) to keep a full backup of everything I've ever put in cloud storage for this exact reason. Plus side is plugging in hard drives…

I wasn't at Sun but am on the Java team now at Oracle. I'm constantly amazed by the inventor culture that Sun had, the people who came from there, and the legacy it has produced, but we all …

Since some people are talking about games, I thought I'd share my short list. My kids are a bit younger, and it's important to me that we don't introduce fast-moving games. We don'…

maybe if it keeps getting upvoted despite being the 600,000th, there's something that continues to resonate with the audience?

that's assuming the day is entirely deep work. it's not. lots of work is shallow work. not that I support grinding down at the expense of health/happiness, but for most people there…

Our family did the same thing... gmail is pretty superior in most aspects, but so is their ability to search your deepest darkest secrets. a tradeoff we were fine making. that said in the year we'…

just don't get a Pyrenees. maybe this whole time he's just been a huge cat.

what is it then? $ raised and trajectory are also part of the story.

I'm not a lawyer, but having been a hiring manager in tech for 20+ years, "materiality" (whether what you are omitting is material) is in the eye of the beholder (side note: great video…

exactly. spent 20 gray, drizzly, and damp years there. then came to California and realized there was life outside the stratocumulus. also in the winter it gets dark dreadfully early (~1615). [edit 1]…

ouch. what awful advice. lying by omission is not only a terrible way to enter into a trusting relationship with a new employer but could also be committing fraud.

there are certainly numerous success stories. i have friends who "recapped" and went on to be quite financially successful, but that is likely the exception, not the rule.

much respect. those are hard feelings to deal with especially given you had users, customers, investors, and a team to think about as well, none of which you can easily and cleanly ask for advice on t…

It's already private, I presume you mean some form of restructuring the cap table so the founders/team have fresh ownership to work with. A noble thought, but then what? skeleton crew the bu…

I'm switching to X and will be happy until either, a) X gets large enough to matter and also has scale issues. b) X gets acquired by Y and sends a "what a great journey we're so excited…

I stew on this idea all the time and conclude that only scale (lots of users?) would make this effective. But then I ponder the remedy itself being wielded against legitimate parties and I get slightl…

I was just contemplating this age old battle of light vs dark when it comes to shady marketing tactics vs every-day consumers. My phone number was somehow picked up by some spammer sending me 2-3 spam…

The Java Platform Group at Oracle. Multiple jobs around the world. Come work on the platform used by millions of developers globally. https://inside.java/jobs/ …

Sure but many are beating the market by making trades on companies that those members are supposed to regulate.

can't remember where I heard this but the advice was basically this: When pitching your idea, and generating excitement, ask for money (or a commitment) on the spot. There's a big difference…

LTS was proposed by Mark Reinhold [1] who leads the JDK Project in the OpenJDK community in 2017. There was a lot of discussion [2] that resulted in many vendors supporting and adopting the LTS model.…

Here's a short interview with Naoto on JEP 400 https://inside.java/2022/03/22/podcast-023/ …

You can find some updated Java tutorials here also: https://dev.java

Depends. Many companies want to rely on long-term supported versions with security/stability updates directly from the folks that wrote a majority of the code in the JDK itself. Also as noted abo…

That's changed a bit. As of JDK 17, Oracle offers Oracle JDK builds under the NFTC license [1], free for use in production with updates overlapping the next LTS version. [1] https://ww…
