I think this is one of the things that Java really solved even though the actual implementation is a bit weird. Being able to generate a war or jar as a released binary is somethin…

I see this cited a lot, but honestly I would say the majority of jobs use Spring, and it has been that way for quite a while.

I don't believe this is true. I received these alerts this morning, but as my phone is only on vibrate it did not produce any audio.

I wouldn't say so. The original plan was to have the LCBO handle sales of marijuana as well. The Liberal government that was drafting this plan lost the provincial election and the…

I'm not saying I disagree but for a lot of businesses (even one with relatively high traffic) it is not unheard of to deploy with almost no tuning of the GC (aside from setting a h…

Try a Spring Boot app using Gradle as the build tool. Weblogic and all those app servers were a product of a different time. They solve problems that are largely solved other ways …

From what I recall, Java didn't switch because it didn't work. I think it switched because the green threads were built on what Solaris supported, and they moved to full OS threadi…

I think that was taken into account when the "try with resources" statements were added to Java. As you said it would be nice if the languages could make these situations impossibl…

Java 8 (and 9 more so) bring a lot of changes but more focused on core libraries than the language itself. Not as drastic as the changes JS has seen. C++11 though is quite a bit di…

It is not a requirement for Java it is just standard practice. Also Maven does not allow you to remove packages once they are pushed, I think that is what he meant by Java being un…

This basically sums up my brief stint in healthcare. Every hospital / doctor wants to talk about the wealth of medical information they are sitting on... as you said most notes are…

I think it is also sometimes a simple barrier to entry to weed out some candidates (think of it as a super simple fizzbuzz). I also see a lot of job postings asking people to decod…

Java advancement is separate from JVM advancement. Quite a few things (the invokedynamic bytecode for example) were added to the JVM that aren't even used in Java. In fact Oracle h…

True although Ontario also has a geographical problem. The majority of the population lives in a very small part of the province, so the electricity for the rest of the province is…

This article looks like a fluff piece that is pretty thin on actual research. They talk about how great MaRS is and how much revenue it has generated... but in reality MaRS has bee…

It doesn't make as much sense for a webpage, but a 304 can be effective for an API. Say you have a resource that needs to be checked periodically, returning a 304 still has the ove…

My only complaint is that it often explodes when using vim or pagination certain files over SSH. Also ctrl+w by default in cmder closes the tab instead of the bash equivalent, I al…

Maybe but this also gives you more hosting options if you are in the cloud. Also tools like puppet and chef for example have an easier time provisioning Unix like machines than Win…

Comments like "There is only one JVM" leads me to believe that the Java comparison was only pulled in as some type of smear.

Thats just really the tip of the iceberg for cat-v to be honest. It is usually best to just avoid it in general.

That library is probably one of (if not the most) powerful concurrency libraries in existence.

We tend to get quite a bit of snow in Canada, and it is pretty cold. I'm not sure if riding in the winter is common elsewhere but where I live in Canada I don't ever see cyclists i…

And yet the other day there was an article on here about Canada's issue hiring high tech workers. The thread was filled with a ton of programmers that left Toronto / Canada to go t…

I'm not sure about Spring Security but as for Spring Boot itself http://www.mitchellbosecke.com/pebble/documentation/guide/sp...

I've been looking at http://www.mitchellbosecke.com/pebble/home but I have not yet had a chance to use it.
