Re:Lombok Is Still Relevant in the Age of Java Records
on Thursday October 15, 2026 @04:51PM (#50110023)
Quality of life libraries like Lombok (or my library https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder) are now anachronisms. Agents don’t need libraries to avoid writing getters, setters, etc. Lombok et al are for humans and the days of human coding are ending, sadly.

Someone just forwarded this to me. It's absolutely a true story and it changed the course of my career as well as starting Netflix OSS. I'm forever grateful to Yuri and Ruslan Meshenberg for their support.

Re:BlueJeans also runs a webserver when installed on macOS

Has anyone found a similar vulnerability with the BlueJeans local server? I tried sending a few test URLs and they don't seem to do anything so I'm not sure what the protocol is. If BlueJeans can't cause a webpage to launch it's app like Zoom does then I'm less concerned.

Anyone know what port the Bluejeans server is running on and/or how to kill it in a manner similar to the Zoom workaround?

GPG Tools switches to subscription after update
I got an update notice for the Apple Mail integrated GPG tools. After the update you get a modal dialog in Apple Mail telling you that you now need a subscription to continue using the product. This was poorly planned and people are complaining.https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/discussions/feedback/11880-support-plan

Re:Handles are the better pointers

I'm old enough to remember programming for the original Macintosh which used handles and relocatable memory. It was a nightmare. Constantly locking, unlocking handles was a chore and error prone. I also remember early Windows APIs that had opaque handle-based memory allocations. Sometimes in life it's useful to check your history books and understand why some things were consigned to history.
Re:“Cost of Living” pay for remote workers is BS

I've been working remotely for more than 4 years and never accept cost of living pay. Of course, I don't make Silicon Valley salary but I'm paid a reasonable rate based on my experience not where I live.
Re:Stack Overflow Isn’t Very Welcoming – It’s Time for That to Change

I've always felt the problem was the moderators have too much control. A bad or dictatorial moderator can ruin an SO board. Hanlon seems to imply moderator changes but doesn't say anything specifically. So, I'm dubious until this is directly addressed.

If only life were that logical. Under the rules as they are today, there are many scenarios where illiquid options/stock have a taxable event. People's finances have been ruined by this. I had a friend lose a house when he sold his company for stock.

So true. Implicit parameter explosion is one the worst aspects of maintaining Scala code. In larger projects trying to comprehend how to import and understand which implicit parameters are used/needed can be maddening.

What isn't mentioned is the tooling. The Scala compiler and sbt are atrocious. If you move to Scala you'd better get the most massive machine you can find and be prepared to deal with the monstrosity that is sbt.
