#72Earlier quoted context omitted.
It was done on purpose, and early on JVM was shipped with Netscape Navigator. The rebranding of LiveScript (iirc) to JavaScript was done to connect to the Java hype of the time.
It's like "Blockchain" today!

#73Never understood why people put stickers on their laptops, to me it seems like a cargo cult. Oh, you’re using this trendy library? Are you a brogrammer or a programmer? Why is libraries and technologies trendy anyway, so much time has been wasted building something using the wrong tool for the job. It also ruins the design of the laptop, just like a phone case does. Maybe I’m just old.
> just like a phone cover does. If the designers of the phone want to provide a reasonably priced cover that will hold my credit cards and protect the screen then perhaps they can make one that complements the device; and perhaps I'll buy it. Until then I'll have to make do with what the third party suppliers can deliver, there is no way I'm going to carry my mobile without having it in a case.

#74Not big on product stickers. Because "No Logo".
I haven't liked any of the cases I've tried. Among other problems, accumulation of grit and scuz.
I once tried that spray rubber stuff (on an old sacrificial laptop). PlastiDip? Didn't work well. I'm dumb about this stuff. Someone with more experience could probably make it "nice". I plugged stuff into the ports I cared about. Then tried to tidy all the edges with an exacto knife. Looked terrible.
You know those fancy vinyl car wraps? I keep expecting someone to do that for laptops.

I had one of those in like 2006. There was a website where I gave my laptop model, uploaded the image I wanted, and they mailed me a perfectly sized sticker that covered my entire laptop back.
I made one real one, and a "Three Wolf Moon" one for fun.
