Yeah, I've deployed a few WO apps in Java EE environments. How that works is WO will basically use a servlet (adaptor) for request handing, which will bridge calls and convert them from the Java EE APIs to the WO specific APIs. You don

Probably true, but I can confirm that this relationship does not go both ways :). Absolutely hated going from WO to Java EE back in the day. But I understand it's gotten better in recent years though.

Totally. I've been very happy to see the world embrace htmx in the last year and it's given me confidence knowing I'm doing the right thing with ng-objects. The methodology htmx uses is in many ways identical to what we'

Absolutely. WO was a brilliantly designed framework (especially for the time) and being somewhat disillusioned with the state of web development in the last decade, I'm still using it as the UI layer for some of my own applications. It

Seconded. I find it absolutely amazing that people try to paint the EU in a bad light for obliging web sites to let their users know they're being tracked. I'm grateful that I'm protected by institutions that work for the peo

Thanks for the pointer! And yes, there are, but I kind of enjoy going through the comment history while deleting. Memories :).

I've been working on deleting my reddit posts over the past year. The site now feels like it's almost 100% bots, which I find more than a little sad.

Agreed. And there's simply nothing that comes close to the power of the workspace when working on multiple projects that share dependencies.

How so? Use it daily, with hundreds of open projects and it just flies.

Pretty much it. We're at a "get people and services ready for a potential disaster" stage. And it's sort of mislabeled by the Guardian. We have three stages for events like this; "uncertainty", "alert&quot

Could you please explain? You say you don't know if it's better or worse for refactoring and then you say it's detection of symbols is like a random number generator? How so?

2008 was 15 years ago and many of the people I've spoken to formed their opinion of Eclipse (and IntelliJ) at that time. But what you saw back then and now isn't anywhere near being the same software. Can you explain why Eclipse i

Eclipse has seen vast development in the last few years and is fast and easy to use these days.

Objective-C was my first "real" language, started working with it with almost no knowledge of C to make some Mac Apps on Rhapsody and later Mac OS X. Nice documentation and an awesome first language, not least due to the lovely Fo

10 years is a long time and Eclipse then and now are two very, very different things. Eclipse is amazingly fast for what it does, I think. Only started using IntelliJ about 3-4 years back (due to Android development) so I don't have an

Can't speak for the other platforms, but I work on an M1 Mac and using IntelliJ feels like trying to move while submerged in a barrel of syrup.

I switch between IntelliJ and Eclipse during my daily workflow and IntelliJ always feels like an absolute hog. And I do feel like it's been getting worse with the later releases.

I'm in my early forties but I still grew up with instructions and sets. Usually I'd assemble a set and probably learn a thing or two along the way, then I'd tear the sets down and build stuff myself. As a father of three, tha

Yes! I regret the time I spent without Rectangle. Effortlessly managing windows, just throwing them around or between monitors without ever touching the mouse is absolutely priceless.

I perceive him very differently (despite being a 100% Apple guy for the past 30 years - the stuff he criticizes Apple for is justified in my opinion). He's done a lot of good for the world with his activism and work on Right to Repair.

Even if this PR statement was correct, do we really need legislation to know leaking user data to third parties/CDNs is unethical and generally a bad idea?

You can write unmaintained applications in any language or stack. An unmaintained system is not the language's fault, it's the maintainer's fault.
