Remember Java applets? Applets are graphical programs that older Java programmers in the office used to develop Java applications that ran in browser pages.
In case you missed it, Java applets are dead. I take a short look at the life and death of Java applets.
The term “centaur” is now used to describe the concept of a half humand, half machine. I don’t believe robots will take over the world. But the 4IR is called a revolution for a reason.
Java finalizers are methods that are supposed to free resources after objects have been marked as unreachable. Java finalizers have been deprecated and flagged for removal, so don’t use them.
In this article I expand more on the problems with finalizers, and alternatives for your code.
Deprecated Java functionality refers to code in the language that has been flagged as no longer useful, and that should not be used. Three examples of deprecated functionality in Java are applets, finalizers and the SecurityManager class.
Conspiracy theory: a theory that powerful people have a secret plot for some malevolent goal, or that some event is the result of such a secret plot. The age of conspiracies We live in the age of information. That means we also live in the age of disinformation, where fake
We look at local variable syntax for lambda parameters in this article. This is an enhancement available in JDK 11. The local variable syntax for lambda parameters allows us to use the var reserved type name when declaring the formal parameters of implicitly typed lambda expressions.
Numeration: the act or process of numbering or counting. Programmers learn about numbering systems. Binary, octal, decimal – these are all important in the digital world. But developers also use a special numbering system that defies logic.
Local variable type inference in java is a way to extend the type inference mechanism to local variable declarations with initializers. This was a preview language feature in JDK 10, and is now permanent.
A little knowledge is dangerous and frustrating – and a way to waste time. Jacqui shares her recent experience in this regard.
Text blocks were a preview language feature in JDK 13 and JDK 14. A Java text block is a multi-line string literal that doesn’t need us to use escape sequences. It makes our life much easier.
