I enjoy my hot cup of Java in the clouds. Currently working as the CTO at Admicom Plc. Views expressed here are purely my own, not anybody else’s.

@JavaDataPro @sivalabs Instead of String, why not use java.math.BigInteger as the type in Java, and only serialize it as string?

@DailyUrgencias @johnrushx Maybe in his mind AI = LLM?

@HSVSphere @FallenOne58035 In any project there is always room to improve. But it doesn’t mean that the people’s “improvements” would actually make the project any better. They might, but it’s definitely not a certainty.

@iamsaquibdev The https://t.co/aO9S6qYQqL package in 1997 😉

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

@ducmite @Indy259 @ras_twit2K @parkerworth I understand the inconvenience but I bet most of the people don’t read their receipts and understand how high the tax rate is.

Displaying tax-free prices and adding taxes at checkout provides a clear perspective on the tax rate.

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

@Indy259 @ras_twit2K @parkerworth That would be extra activity you need to do.

I understand the inconvenience with tax free price tags, but it makes the amount of taxes you pay much more explicit.

But we can agree to disagree on this one 😉

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

@Indy259 @ras_twit2K @parkerworth Sure, you see the tax on the receipt both in Europe and in the US.

But we’re talking about price tags. In Europe it’s the price you pay. In the US you get to add taxes, tip and whatnot.

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

@Indy259 @ras_twit2K @parkerworth In Europe you explicitly see what you must pay. You don’t see the tax cost.

I’m pretty certain that most Finns, for example, with 25,5% VAT do not realize how big part of the price tag is the taxes.

Because if this reason I favor the American price tags.

Collection of insane and fun facts about SQLite. Let's go!

SQLite is the most deployed and most used database. There are over one trillion (1000000000000 or a million million) SQLite databases in active use.

It is maintained by three people. They don't allow outside contributions.

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

@analyticsaurabh @frankcdale @kyleplacy @clairevo Or cannot verify whether the output is good or not. Even with a good prompt the first response might not be what you really (should) want.

This! 💯There’s usually no need to actually see the password. Just copy it to be pasted to a password field.

[Simon Martinelli @simas_ch]

Hey @Apple, I like the Passwords app but why do you show the password if I click on it? A click should just copy it. Directly showing the password is a security issue. Especially if you need the password during a presentation.

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

@simas_ch I think Java’s API for json
was worse.

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

@colablizzard @GergelyOrosz @Pragmatic_Eng To get the boost in productivity you must be competent enough to understand and evaluate the output, whether it does what’s asked for or doesn’t.

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

@copyjosh @tri_rizeki @housecor That would be confusing as you could add all such parameters to the same URL. Maybe instead you could specify parameters action and id, then there would be no confusion.

[🔎Julia Evans🔍 @b0rk]

finally ready to announce that my git zine, “How Git Works", is coming out in ONE WEEK! on May 31!

it also comes with this (free!) cheat sheet which you can download and print out here: https://t.co/Q1UIoa03lk

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

@simas_ch @royvanrijn Agreed, but you can still argue whether the blade part is up or down 😂

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

So true.

Maybe it's just me but still feel like this is one of the Top 10 Default Terrible UX Experiences That is Just Everywhere Still

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

@lemire @WoundedEdgeboy @Jonathan_Blow You really shouldn’t push anything as a cult.

[Thomas Raehalme @raehalme]

@sevenseacat @adamhjk @joshprice And even if you were ops-y enough you probably have better things to do than managing your CI/CD workers.

[LLM Security @llm_sec]

* People ask LLMs to write code
* LLMs recommend imports that don't actually exist
* Attackers work out what these imports' names are, and create & upload them with malicious payloads
* People using LLM-written code then auto-add malware themselves
