Spring’s own tutorials aren’t a bad place to start.
Yes. Am not robot.

Pfft. He doesn’t plan to lead, or to serve. He plans to rule.
Cheeky little @+#_$. I hate yo-
Ooh squirrel!
Well not this one obviously. I just don’t want to give the impression that pylons aren’t safe.
Well yeah. How can I appreciate being rich if there aren’t poor people to compare myself with / lord over
…is something I’m not rich enough to say. Sigh.
No shit.
Ahh I must have been wearing blinkers, definitely takes some power out of my vision… I’ll try to rein in my enthusiasm in the future.
If they get big enough the Merpeople will finally acquire cavalry… Though a side-saddle cavalry may not be that effective… Or the fact that a charge has to consider the 3rd dimension… Or that they’re mythical.
Still. Mounted Merpeople!
So all of you living-rough, dumpster-diving, skipping medications, holding down three jobs, etc - what do your therapist say?
Oh wait, how much does this therapy cost again… But I’m sure there’s no selection bias.
Thankfully that’s not the case here in NZ. Otherwise the rather popular mince-n-cheese pie would be weird.
Today, ‘mincemeat’ as a term by itself, is unusual. It’s usually either just ‘mince’ (meat) or ‘fruit-mince’ (not meat).
Name any medium in which people can anonymously contribute, where toxicity isn’t present ‘sometimes’.
I wonder how it’ll do on cost… and regulatory progress in other countries.
Will be watching with interest.
I have been sparing the almighty hell out of mine. When they drop it will be epic.
We must change them!
Require them to symbolically emote at least once per post/comment.

Multiple upvotes! And here I was thinking this comment was too obscure and I’d have to abaddon it.
My body’s all a-tingle… Though I’m not sure Jack feels the same way.
If there’s a Marc Remillard on the team should we be worried?
Then you may be in luck.
Oops. Just imagine the karma I would have lost, were I still on Reddit…
Most people are still using Java 8 (including android)…
Surveys don’t seem to back this up any more… Yes there’s a lot of Java 8 code. But more and more of it is maintenance rather than new development. Respondents of surveys that are able to list the versions they use in production (vs ‘pick one’) have indicated that for many teams with exposure to Java 8, they also have newer versions in production - showing that Java 8 is increasingly about maintenance than ongoing development (with the blocks to moving forward being a mix economic and technical factors).
The most dominant frameworks in the industry are ending their support for Java 8 - so not too far down the track, staying on Java 8 will mean that while you can pay for platform support, framework support is going to disappear anyway.
…we are currently at ~java 20.
Yes Java 20 is the current release, with Oracle’s LTS being Java 17 (the previous ones being 17, 11 and 8 - with 8 having the largest paid support window).
Java 21 is out in a couple of weeks and will become the new Oracle LTS (other vendors and frameworks tend to align on this LTS designation so it continues to be important).
I used the hell out of FidoNet back in the day.
