The Spring framework is the 800-lb gorilla comparison and I'd be surprised if Ruby was within an order of magnitude of Java.

Although Dockerfiles have the benefit of migrating existing workloads to containers without having to update your toolchain, I definitely prefer the container-first workflow. Cloud Native Buildpacks( https://buildpacks.io/ )

> It appears Java is only still viable for Windows and Android, and the 1% Linux desktop market. Funny how you frame Java "only" being available for some of the most popular platforms, which is billions of devices.

I live in the neighborhood and have bought a few sodas from the machine. I always assumed it was locksmith, they are powering the machine and I've never seen nor heard a reason to believe it was anyone else. It was a cute novelty, and

You're correct that some Google Cloud zones are in the same physical building. However, the separate zones are designed with independent power, cooling, and networking. So, failure events usually affect only a single zone.

All things considered, I'd say Apple has done an excellent job wrt security for iOS devices. All modern iOS devices are updated on a regular basis with a high uptake rate, and Apple monitors its store and is increasing its use of bug

I'm an Apple fan - congratulations to Apple - but on the other hand Apple being the biggest company in the world is pretty uninspiring. After seeing Tesla build a mass market electric car factory, or SpaceX launching a Roadster into s

I would be happy with laws clearly requiring a presidential candidate to disclose their full income taxes for the past 5 years, and also required them to put their assets into a blind trust / index fund when inaugurated into office. W

I doubt anyone will steal Android from Google. I can see two scenarios where the Android SDK (which includes Kotlin, Java, NDK) + Google Play Services is really threatened: 1) the WeChat scenario. Amazon is probably the best positioned so

My disclaimer: my coworkers are using Scala and SBT. Gradle + Java isn't slower than Ant or Maven. Gradle + Kotlin is a little slower, they just need to make the annotation processors incremental. But for Java, incremental builds wit

No, most people get access to this work, despite their phones not getting updated. They get this via access to the Google Play Store. If an Android device has access to the store, Google can check and remove malware from the device. Incid

Another perspective: Netflix is notoriously interested in only hiring top talent. Top talent is ambitious and always seeking to advance. I don't think it's a matter of envy, it's the unending beat of progress.
