What is it about Java where companies are hesitate to upgrade? Do the Java releases always bring breaking changes or are the companies that use Java have a culture of not prioritising tech upgrades?

I thought it moved away from the All4 name? Sounds too much like “Awful”, which would always sum up my experience using it.

In my mind a simple unit test should have caught this. Mock out the call to the service that sends the message and verify that it’s been called with the correct message, and cover the possible failure scenarios. That said I hate loosely typed languages lol.

This isn’t the languages fault, it’s the developers.

Someone in the RAF regiment is about to have a very bad day.

I wonder where standard and splendid fit on the shitoscale. Perfection has to be where you’ve been waiting ages and you finally log out and you feel about 50kg lighter, and only requires a single wipe.

I’ll let someone else have the fun of describing the other end of the scale…

So the jury found him guilty but it doesn’t sound like the judge is convinced of his guilt, or at least it sounds like theres little viable evidence that he’s associated with the robbers. What other reconnaissance could he have done that would make him guilty? How is using a toilet for it’s intended purpose reconnaissance? So many questions!

Lovely garden! Even the piece of wood seems surprised at the hedgehog!

Well yeah strictly you don’t, but the idea of having a single machine under someone’s desk as a build server managed by one person where you have multiple dev teams fills me with horror! If that one person is off and the build server is down you’re potentially dead in the water for a long time. Fine for small businesses that only have a handful of devs but problematic where you’ve multiple teams.

Bottom line for most business though: As long as the cost makes sense, why bother self-hosting anything. That’s really what it comes down to. A bonus too, as most companies like being able to blame other companies for their problems. Microsoft knows that, and profited greatly with Windows Server/Office/etc. for that very reason.

Yup, exactly this. Why waste resources internally when you can free up your own resources to do more productive work. There’s also going to be some kind of SLA on an enterprise plan where you can get compensation if there’s a service outage that lasts a long time. Can’t really do that if it’s self managed.

I’m talking about in a professional environment. You basically need a team to manage them and have a backlog of updates and fixes and requests from multiple dev teams. If you offload that to something cloud based that pretty much evaporates, apart from providing some shared workflows. And it’s just generally a better experience as a dev team, at least in my experience it has been.

It’s not like internal build servers are 100% reliable, scaleable and cheap though. Personally I’ve found cloud based build tools to be just a better experience as a dev.

It’s a nice bike! What sort of range does it get?

Are your tyres big enough?

It seems absolutely insane to me that people have to pay. I was annoyed at having to pay £10 for the car park when we had our first!

Well in my mind few years ago was 1999…

Seriously though I thought this only happened within the last 10 years, TIL.

During some war games a few years ago, the Dutch Navy managed to score a hit against a US Navy carrier using a diesel sub.

Like someone else said here, carriers are big, slow targets, it’s not impossible for something to sneak past and sink them.

Do you remember the good ol’ days in F1 when we had:
