It says she “Led the push for the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Act, federal worker unionization”. Federal worker unionization is very undemocratic b/c federal employees essentially blackmail voters. They become untouchable.

Adobe used to have an app called Fireworks that was great for non-artists. They got it when they bought Macromedia. Too bad they killed it. I hope Graphite will replace it.

Thanks! That is very interesting.

They’ve had great tools along these lines in the Clojure world where the repl/shell has been around longer (deps.edn+repl and boot).

I’ve been looking forward to this since the nimbella acq, but now I feel betrayed by the new pricing and probably won’t even try it.

If you’re on Kotlin, consider http4k

It can use netty, undertow, and others under the hood

That’s the idea in Proof of time and space used by chia.net

You probably haven’t heard of this coin/network (invented by the inventor of bittorrent) b/c it doesn’t aim to be a speculative asset, but it does have a very sane programming model (in lisp)

Specifically, I was unable to find the gradle shadow/maven shade rules needed to use the jdk9+ version of the multi-release dependency "com.sun.xml.ws:jaxws-rt:2.3.5".

The reply I got on Stackoverflow from the person I think is the maintainer is "don't use fat jars", which is probably the correct solution, although most people use fat jars.

Lately, I've been reading that layered docker images should be a faster way to build and deploy java apps that have many tens of MB of dependencies that never change. It only works if you don't use fat jars.

Publishing some flavor of SOAP services seems to be easy and common in companies that live in the Microsoft ecosystem.

I’m no fan of that, but unfortunately we are forced to use some such SOAP services.

Yes. But in the move to java 9 they broke java’s customary backward compatibility and left behind a lot of users.

It doesn’t help that there is no good, clear and complete guide on how to upgrade SOAP clients.

I went through this recently and learned that because jakarta uses multi-release jars, we have to do the regular dependency changes and also change our fat-jar based build/release to Docker images. In other words, they decided to throw out decades of users’ investment in learning the ecosystem.

I’m not surprised that people seem to be leaving the ecosystem.
