Yeah, I’m pretty sure 15 minutes after this post OP was crawling barefoot in HVAC ducts.

Bible literalists also believe that a huge war in Israel is a prerequisite to the second coming of Christ AKA the end times.

Could someone please explain the rationale behind this? From what I gather it amounts to “well yeah Putin sent his army and started the war, but he was forced to by NATO/USA/Biden personally/Zelensky personally, THEY are the real warmongers!” But when I ask why, and what would have happened to Russia if he didn’t start the war, they don’t actually answer and just smile knowingly like I’m some kind of moron for not figuring it out by myself.

The point is also to minimize potential damages caused by a bug in the software. Just this year there have been multiple data-destroying bugs in publicly released software. If the app runs as a server it’s usually trivial to have it run as a dedicated user, with just enough permissions to do its job.

It’s just good practice, even though the risks might be low why risk it at all?

Well for starters there is a picture of her at a scientology gala in 2013. And she most probably still is, because it’s incredibly hard to leave scientology. They put an unbearable amount of pressure on you to stay/come back, and if they determine you’re a lost cause, you become a “suppressive person”. When that happens, all scientologists are forbidden from any kind of contact with the person. So for her, leaving scientology means losing her family, her closest friends she’d known since forever, and any kind of support structure.

Dead Sara’s drummer was also born into scientology. Chances that they both left are very slim. Chances that a scientologist would play in a band with a suppressive person are nil.

Chances that she left scientology, then decided in 2020 to come support scientologist Masterson, who would have been absolutely forbidden from interacting with her in any way, and with a group of scientologists also present: also nil.

Sean, I only want to be a dictator for one day, and I’m going to close the borders and drill, baby drill. But after that, I never want to be a dictator.

The thing with Trump is there’s a chance he actually believes a) this is a reasonable take, and b) he’d be able to accomplish these goals in one day.

Yeah but if the EULA is different from one country to another, they’d want me to see the French version and not the US one.

Wouldn’t work for me: I’m French and I live in France, but all my devices are set to en_US.

I read your comment before the article and I thought you had made the second quote up lol, unbelievable. And people are throwing money at these guys?

OK so this is most likely by design, impressive.

Does the timer “jump” to the correct time after you dismiss the window ? It’s also possible that they didn’t bother testing the app when logged out, and that the popup blocks the UI thread while it’s displayed. In short it could be bad coding and QA instead of intentional enshittification.

Nah, Hibernate, Spring and most major Java frameworks have largely moved away from XML. It’s still supported, but these days it’s mostly configured in the code directly, with properties loaded from yaml, JSON or the environment (for containers).

The JDK ecosystem is in a pretty good spot nowadays. With Spring boot you can whip up a productions ready back-end very fast, or if you prefer a more hands-on approach there are lighter frameworks/libraries quarkus or micronaut.

The Java language itself has evolved fast and is actually pretty nice now, and if you prefer something more modern akin to TS or swift you can just use Kotlin which is almost 100% interoperable with Java.

Since Java 14 it looks like this:

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NullPointerException:

Cannot invoke “String.toLowerCase()” because the return value of “com.baeldung.java14.npe.HelpfulNullPointerException$PersonalDetails.getEmailAddress()” is null

at com.baeldung.java14.npe.HelpfulNullPointerException.main(HelpfulNullPointerException.java:10)

systems after being defunded by conservatives

Like in France, where Macron spent millions to fucking McKinsey for their asshole consultants to “optimize” our healthcare system. Said assholes did what they do best: cut costs and staff.

Now our hospitals are in shambles, workers are at the rope’s end and they keep on cutting their budget year after year. But it’s all good, we voted for the left so that they turn things around! Oh wait…

That’s because he planted a backdoor into GIT, and now he reviews your bad commits every night.

In this case it’s not “never”, I don’t use twitter and saw this news on Lemmy this morning.

Yes she still is. She apologized for supporting Masterson (I think, she didn’t name him in the post). But she seems to be OK with her cult terrorizing Masterson’s victims, among many others.

To be fair she was born into it, it’s not easy breaking free from this kind of brainwashing.

Same as Windows and MacOS, really. You can follow best practices and conventions, or just install your software wherever you want.

No need, he already has the homophobic bully vote.
