@P1Winters83 sto.fandom.com/wiki/Assignmen… sto.fandom.com/wiki/Fleet_Res… These two are ones I typically do, though I haven't done any deep analysis of them.

@HaydenPJones Hey Hayden, are you talking about the project that rewards Bonus R&D XP?

I just released a new video on my YouTube channel. Trek it out here: STO - Do's & Dont's - Leveling R&D youtube.com/watch?v=VArtvm…

@P1Winters83 @CardGameNut Sounds like I should just sell them at the 50% vendor then. Thanks for the tip, I have played for a long while but forgot about that.

@HaydenPJones @CardGameNut Hey Hayden, so to be honest that's kinda down to the individual. I mean, R&D matts are not hard to come by so I wouldn't be expecting to make a lot of EC from them, ya know. 🖖🙂

@jjenkov When I use an enum and a method is abstract. It’s almost always a refactoring technique when I see common elements between things.

I am just realizing that I am not using inheritance much in ny OOP code anymore. When I want to reuse code, I usually use some variant of composition. I might use inheritance in a few cases, but not often. How about you? Do you use inheritance much?

@carcassone81452 @TiceRichard But the goal should be 38% if the vote should go very you 38% of the seats. Right?

@TiceRichard Richard, if we switch to PR, I fear that we will only end up in a situation like the one that has just occurred in France, where parties collude to exclude the overall winner from power.

“Under some form of PR we’d have over 90 seats!” Our electoral system needs reform.

@JohnTyndall1934 @TiceRichard Tons of other countries figure it out. I am sure your government can too.

@TiceRichard ...and a hung Parliment, no ability for the Government to get buiness done and not a dedicated local MP, you'd be allocated one instead. Why do Reform hate the UK so much they want to destroy it?

@paulpatten @TiceRichard I really think that electoral reform should be done with a citizen’s assembly.

@TiceRichard So you want to overturn the result of the 2011 referendum where people rejected electoral reform with 67% voting against it, let’s be clear, you want to overturn a referendum result. Is that correct?

@LanceForman @TiceRichard I would.

@TiceRichard If Reform was the largest party and won over 50% of the votes and seats would you introduce PR? Somehow I don’t think so.

@politics_w_sami @RyanTHumphrey @journo_dale Conservatives change to FPTP, Liberals change to RCV, NDP change to MMP… better to have it selected by a random citizen assembly.

@HaydenPJones @RyanTHumphrey @journo_dale In my opinion, I have no problem with politicians deciding the system as long as the system is fair

If we’re going to re-litigate this nonsense, you weren’t lied to. A good-faith effort was made, and the parliamentary committee returned a hot garbage report that would have been impossible to enact, while everyone assumed he referred to their specific model when he didn’t.

@nipafx It's not a high priority for me but is there any work being done in using java Records as part of an updated Serialization framework? For example, an interface which says that this class, when serialized, exports a Record?

I spend most of my time funneling information from OpenJDK to the wider Java community but that shouldn't obscure that DevRel works both ways. So if you have questions or want to give feedback, please reach out any time, any place.

@JosePaumard @jimgris Hopefully that's latest and not last.

The last #Java Newsletter is out! Grab it while it's hot! Thank you @jimgris for taking care of it! oracle.com/oce/dc/assets/…

@brunoborges Fortunately, I never mike typos. ;)

@HaydenPJones It happens that 3 is right next to 2 on my keyboard...

Java 23 is out... And so are the latest minor updates of Microsoft Build of OpenJDK 21, 17, and 11. devblogs.microsoft.com/java/microsoft… Call your #Java experts and Project Managers, and start planning that migration!

@AdamBien @nipafx I enjoyed the episode and may go back to listen again. @nipafx is always an interesting and entertaining guest and I make sure not to miss those episodes.

@HaydenPJones @nipafx ...and as @nipafx said: everyone loves the emperor. No danger there. You liked the episode? Thank you for listening!

An airhacks.fm conversation with @nipafx about "underscores, deconstruction, pattern matching, minimalistic build tools and Java 22" is ready to listen: 👉 adambien.blog/roller/abien/e… #java #podcast

@javarevisited Yes but the language has evolved since Java 9. Most of the ideas in the book are relatively timeless

Is Joshua Bloch's Effective Java Still Valid? Is it worth it? dlvr.it/T0zP5F

@omniprof Whichever it is… let us know how it went.

I am a game sampler. I mostly look at the free games the services offer. I have only ever finished three games. These were The Prisoner on an Apple ][+, Wing Commander I on the PC, and Myst on the PC. There are two games out now that look interesting. Which should I get?
