In their "License" section on Github, they write "This project is not derived from Darling." - so they clearly are familiar with it.

It's only Java on macOS for x64 that gets dropped. Java on Apple's M-type CPUs will still be alive and kicking.

Java 25 is an LTS, I guess you can use that for a couple of years still. But at some point of time, macOS will be too old and all kinds of software will no longer install.

> Automate the pilot out. That's a complete non-starter for now and the next decades. Fully automated operation for 1-dimensional transport (trains) is a solved issue, for 2D, not …

Obviously this is a personal preference, but the multiple layers of beveled grey on the Qt UI is not something I like, as it forces a lot of grouping on the eye where it doesn't se…

Germany IS suffering from high energy prices, but renewables are only a small part of the problem. It was a mistake to shut down the working nuclear power plants, and that also coi…

The guy is located in Germany, and disclaimers of that sort do not work here. IF something breaks because of this commit, he will be liable - not that I believe this 2y old kind of…

Why would you write a lot of software to find the closest match (which doesn't even seem that good) if you could also ask a subject expert? I guess you could even just post a photo…

That was roughly 3 weeks ago, with the reprising of Claude 4.7 and GPT 5.5, things have become more spicy.

>It was Schröder’s administration that shut down Germany’s nuclear power plants. That's not even true, it was Merkel's administration. Under Schröder, the plan for the phase-out wa…

I guess some of the legacy carriers are now drinking champagne since they got rid of one of the more aggressive ULCC competitors. However, if you wait till your competition goes br…

That, however, would be vastly more expensive. Maybe worth it from an overall ecological PoV, but I doubt power companies have an appetite for the CAPEX involved.

>wireless modems They (Apple) bought out intel's wireless modems and are using them instead of Qualcomm's chips. IIRC, they aren't the best in class when it comes to raw throughput…

It is wild how ARM - which was kind of a niche company and ISA - has taken the world by storm since the modern smartphone was born. Now their designs make their way upwards to big …

I loved playing around with KPT Bryce so much. IDK if it ever was used productively, but it was so ahead of its time.

Their previous lock-downs were on the hardware level, not offering ISA slots and stuff. The original Mac (then Mac+ and classic) had no expansion slots at all, and they started add…

>Also, does Nasdaq think it's worth killing the reputation of their index for the spacex listing? If I had to guess, they are banking on the meme-factor. Tesla is already seriously…

Yes, you can sell and buy a different index. However, those who buy ETFs want broad market exposure without picking stocks (or ETFs). Also selling and re-buying means you have to p…

Teams calls. I let Teams transcribe it and parse the transcription via AI.

No, b/c I did so on company time. And it's old industry, they wouldn't open-source it. But it took ~2 weeks with the help of Claude, so relatively easy to replicate.

Some EU member states are bordering Russia, of course they are afraid the next war will be on their soil.

>But does a military really need that many to get the necessary capability? No. The German army wants a constellation of initially 40, and later just over 100 satellites. They do n…

I built an agentic framework that distills ADRs from Teams meetings where everyone discusses freely. Works surprisingly well to record the WHY without someone having to do the job.…

>I want my brain to be strong in old age, and I actually love to write code unlike 99% in software apparently (like why did you people even start doing this career.. makes no sense…

To an extend, AI can help with explaining what the code does. So, computer says why it says "no".
