Over here in the "data engineering" world Spark and Flink still use Java 8, which has stymied our migration.

The current release of Flink introduced support for running on java 11, and Spark preview builds now support it too, so there’s some hope on the horizon!

Well, if you can do it, if the libraries you're using work, then sure, one should upgrade. There are plenty of corporations with old codebases that use old libraries that simply will not allow them to migrate that easily. Then you need to sell the migration to management, which is a project in and of itself. Just because you could migrate (incidentally, I did as well for one of my java projects) doesn't mean that others can.

There's 14 released now. 15 coming this September. It's getting silly and I don't even try to keep up anymore. Every few years I look at what's up, what's the latest "long term support" version and I go with that.

They're trying to maintain their version lead on C# now that it's up to 8.0. Chrome-induced browser version inflation, programming language edition!

There’s actually some nice changes in new Java versions like pattern matching for instanceof and switch expressions.

Value Inline Types also seem to be coming along nicely.

It should probably be able to return results that aren't at the beginning of strings, too, but it can't even do that.

I would love to have this problem when launching the windows terminal because the problem I instead have is that it all of a sudden just started immediately closing when it starts. Really liked using it too.

I think when searching 'wireshark', 'search web for wireshark' will be the first option and not, ya know, wireshark the installed program. I know there are a couple other where it'll do it too. I don't know what causes it.

The worst is when the right match flashes by while you're typing. So "terminal" appears for "term", but by the time your muscle memory finishes typing "inal" it changed to some bullshit like "Watch Terminator on Amazon Prime".

Good day,

We were wondering if there is a method exposed by the <name of software> SDK for doing a check if the <name of software> software is installed on a system.
While implementing the SDK we used a try catch for validating if <name of software> is installed, however we found out that this type of checking is not reliable.

Do you have any suggestions regarding how the check if <name of software> is installed using the SDK or without it?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,

<name of person>

Is there a way of asking your software whether it's installed or not?

(The software in question has an SDK for extensibility purposes, which is exposed via COM)

If they're using a client library instead of talking COM directly, then a "is the program I'm trying to talk to even installed to begin with" function is an entirely reasonable thing for the client lib to have.

So it could be more of an attribution error.

Can you install the SDK on its own though, without the software? It sounds like they're just asking whether the SDK itself has a convenient method they can leverage for detecting whether the software itself is installed. But I'm coming at this without knowing anything about the software obviously so who knows, I'm probably just sounding stupid also.

I probably already shared the bug here...

I got a call from the customer. "Our site is full of cats!". I checked production, and it was real, every image was replaced by a photo of a cat. Article news, everything but icons and logos.

We quickly fixed it. In development we used https://placekitten.com/ to replace photos, and it was accidentally enabled in production.
