NPEs in Java usually have 2 causes and they are easily preventable:

1. Parsing or deserializing data that must be present but is not. Fix: Add a validator or (introduced in Java 17 - 4 years ago) use records and do simple null validation there
2. Devs coding weird shit that might or might not return null. Fix: Use annotations like NotNull/Nullable or the Optional wrapper (introduced in Java 8 - 11 years ago). There is also progress underway to be able to explicity declare type nullness, however - as always - Oracle invests more money into it’s lawyers instead of their devs, so it will take some time until this will be available.

The problem is not really language specific because quite the same can also happen in any programming language, the symptoms/errors are just different.

I like the “advantage” that using any Kotlin code in normal Java automatically forces you to use the kotlin-stdlib for Java 8 and adds a additional bloat of 10MB to your project…

They just removed obfuscation from Java Edition. If they even try to do a single stupid move - like with chat reporting a few years ago - it will be simply modded out of the game.

The only thing that they might be able to do is increase the price for buying the game, mess with the accounts or illegally change their EULA - without notifying anyone - again.

Bugrock Edition on the other hand is already a dumpster fire for years, so nobody really cares about that one in the first place…

Maybe it would also be much cheaper if “your” houses were a bit smaller and had proper insulation…

Hey great job at posting the same spam picture in 4 coms, just like 400 more and you would have posted it in everywhere.

Did you read the subtitle? xD

That was so long ago I don’t think that’s comparable. But you can read through the availability report history

Codeberg win

Do trick 33B: Blame it on the crappy corporate anti-virus solution.

Works always because nobody can say anything against that. Nobody knows exactly how it works, if it’s secretly sending your data to the NSA for corporate espionage and if you would disable it, everything would be insecure.

Well if you want a real world comparison:

We migrated a project a few years ago from Eclipse to IntelliJ. Outcome:

• Complains about the IDE dropped from around 10 per day to nearly 0
• Onboarding people now takes 1h instead of a day, because IntelliJ knows how to store configuration in a project
• IntelliJ has a built in updater and nearly everything works after an update
• IDE Fuckups: 1 per week (Eclipse) -> 1 per year (IntelliJ)
  • Somehow still happend? Just click “Delete caches and restart” in IntelliJ
• No sources and javadoc for a library available? Eclipse: Have fun reading bytecode; IntelliJ: Yeah I just decompiled it for you within 10s

So yeah I wouldn’t recommend going back into hell. Even VSCode and it’s forks are likely better at this point.

Apparently someone in the South Korean goverment xD

If I had a nickel for every time someone didn’t backup their datacenter, I’d have two nickels.

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened at least twice.
