Java stripped out the SecurityManager and offered nothing in its place. Peter Firmstone's answer: fork Apache River and OpenJDK to bring back both JINI and JVM-level authorization. Laudable, even necessary - and a very hard sell, because it runs only on his JDK. It's like a post-mortem for JINI while it's still trying to breathe.
A Reddit user on r/SaaS is looking forward to the consulting rates he'll command once the wave of projects trying to dig out from under AI slop hits. He's not wrong, but he's dated the pattern to 2010 offshoring when it's older than that, and the lesson never sticks: coding was never typing.
Christian Rackerseder argues that the real axis for testing decisions isn't integration versus end-to-end, it's control: whether a team can make a dependency predictable enough for a given test and actually act when it fails.
Roseau, a new breaking-change detector for Java libraries, compares your code against your last released baseline and fails the build when the API contract breaks. JUnit already uses it. The reflex says the compiler and tests cover this, but if that were the case, updates would be easier than they are.
Sven Reinck wants dependency diagrams that nudge you toward clean architecture by looking wrong when the code is wrong. The instinct is sound, the history is unkind, and the difference between expressing complexity and measuring it is where the whole idea lives or dies.
Bun was ported from Zig to Rust by an LLM and passed nearly all its tests - while shipping more than ten thousand unsafe blocks. Memory safety is the main reason you'd pick Rust. So what did the rewrite actually accomplish?
GraphCompose is an MIT-licensed Java DSL for generating PDFs from a semantic document model, with themed templates for CVs, invoices, proposals, and reports built in.The 1.6.4 release adds clip-path shape containers, advanced tables, and two new business templates.
Christian Ekrem's 'The Tacit Dimension' carries Polanyi's 'we can know more than we can tell' into software engineering. He's right that experience works that way. Knowledge doesn't, and the essay never separates the two.
The OpenLiberty project has released OpenLiberty 26.0.0.5, with official support for Jakarta EE 11 across Core, Web, and Platform profiles, and support for Spring Boot 4 JAR files as opposed to WAR files. Jakarta EE 11 adds one important specification: Jakarta Data.
