Germany is at over 50% because trains delayed for more than two hours are cloned towards "didn't run". And "didn't run" is not counted towards "is punctual". Imagine the number if Deutsche Bahn counted correctly...

I went with EUPLv1.2 for betterbranch because it closes the SaaS loophole and embraces software interoperability. What drives your choice when licensing your Java tools - strict copyleft, permissive, or just whatever the project template defaults to?

Benjamin Marwell ☕ @bmarwell.de · 22/08/2026

Did you know that betterbranch is EUPLv1.2-licensed? If you are building Java CLI tools or want a Git metadata helper that embraces modern European copyleft - complete with network-distribution coverage and solid legal interoperability - check it out. Built on JGit! github.com/bmarwell/bet...

Oh I did that, lots of times. No manual actions required, just "crawled, not indexed" and no reported problems. AI says my pages are totally fine. I really don't know what more to fix or even check. 😔

Interesting. And an extremely great overview! I skipped the part about hotspot as I use OpenJ9 on Semeru, and optimizations are backported to older releases. Can't wait for structured concurrency! Hopefully it will be included into the next LTS!

Important things to fix on your article (or on bsky): 1. Link doesn't work with emoji in front 2. Remove the "almost": every application will need to manage exceptions 3. Most importantly: never swallow exceptions! Log out rethrow, always. 4. If catching InterruptedEx, re-interrupt. etc...

But as I said, I use OpenJ9/ IBM Semeru which doesn't have hotspot. The author explicitly states "UseCompactObjectHeaders". I had -XX:+UseCompressedOops available for a long time. Plus other optimisations.

Benjamin Marwell ☕ @bmarwell.de · 13/07/2026

That's really good to know! I will need to take a closer look at the measurements then. However, not sure we have a lot of FFM already besides of what the JVM does.

Benjamin Marwell ☕ @bmarwell.de · 13/07/2026

Why not Java 26? Sure, I could. But look at the changes: JEPs 524, 525, 526, 529, 530 are only preview/incubator. JEPs 516, 522 is hotspot-only (I use OpenJ9 🚀). JEP 517 is http/3. No endpoints. 🤷🏻‍♂️ JEP 504 is just an API removal. JEP 500 just issues new warnings. So, why bother..?

Benjamin Marwell ☕ @bmarwell.de · 13/07/2026

The apps I developed in my company run on #Java 25, #JakartaEE 11. Those who say "enterprise banking" or #fintech is slow and lagging behind needs to explain this to me. Automation and great #IBM support definitely helps, but it is 99% the mindset of those in charge. Prove me wrong. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Im besten Fall sinken die Steuereinnahmen 2028 dann wieder, wenn die Hersteller reagieren und die Rezepturen anpassen. Denn das ist ja der eigentliche Sinn der Sache. So oder so – es ist eine gute Nachricht, dass die #Zuckersteuer kommt!

Das schlimmste an der #Rentenreform ist gar nicht einmal, dass sie im Kapitalmarkt investiert. Das schlimmste ist, dass sie 30-40 Jahre zu spät kommt. Das Umlagesystem war eine Notlösung, weil der 1. WK die Rentenkassen geplündert hat. Das ging eine Zeit lang ganz gut.

Nein, denn ich wollte nicht ausdrücken und den Politikern unterstellen, dass sie das wirklich aus Boshaftigkeit getan hätten. "Anscheinend" hätte mehr Wahrheitsgehalt ausgedrückt. "Scheinbar" steht für den falschen Anschein. Grammatikalisch geht beides. Bewusste Wortwahl gegen Abmahnung. 😉🏳️‍🌈

Scheinbar geht es auch darum, Ärzte zu drangsalieren (die eh schon genug zu tun haben) und Mißtrauen der arbeitenden Bevölkerung zu zeigen. Ich sehe kaum einen Vernünftigen Grund. Oder gibt es etwa Zahlen, die Falsch-Krankschreibungen belegen? Wohl kaum.
