1) I really like Java. I am talking about the language specifically. Note that I am not saying it is perfect. But I really like it. The first "hello world" kind-of programs I did with the language date back to '98.

In Java, you can label almost all statements. The following program shows some examples. Keep in mind, however, that the code shown is hardly idiomatic. It is just a bit of information about the Java language.

@lionarys7 You're welcome. And thank you for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it.

@apr I'd certainly lose. I can't even read Doug Lea style :)

CSS: Claude 1 x 0 Gemini. I reached for Gemini first, but Claude solved my problem regarding flex, overflow and min-height.

Type annotations can be used on local variable declarations and on method declarations, annotating the variable type and the return type respectively. They cannot be used in two cases: var and void. Read more:

What would Borges have said about LLMs if he was still alive today? Maybe that he's written about it many times over. It's no more than his "The Library of Babel". Or maybe it's his "The Book of Sand".

Great read. It resonates on why I'm creating Objectos Way. Non-exhaustive and in no particular order: - build systems - dependencies - complex libraries vs creating your own - reinventing the wheel - systems that no longer scale down

@antirez Thank you for this, I wholeheartedly agree.

Part 5 of my "Java Type Annotations" blog post series is about this paragraph in bold from the JLS. It should be out tomorrow.

It turns out that mixing non-accessible types with varargs did not work as I'd expected. With the benefit of hindsight, it is an obvious point. But I did not anticipate it. Read more:

@joseouluis Are you asking: is it bad to not override hashCode? It is bad if you use the objects as map keys.

@jjenkov That sounds very interesting! Are you planning an article about it? I'd certainly love to read more :)

I am now implementing the CSS identifier serialization from the spec. Before I was mostly checking from what Tailwind generates.

RT @c_a_dunlop: .@samwhoo's interactive blog posts are amazing and addictive. He graciously shared a detailed introspection on his blogging…

@c_a_dunlop @samwhoo Thanks, I enjoyed reading it. I definitely should do more of the "Hey, do you wanna do a video call sometime?" and I too wanted to be a teacher. I think that writing style might also change as we age; it changes because we've changed.
