Well, her latest song did ask us all "wanna play?"
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

After months of work, a major milestone has been reached for Java’s JDK repository, which now builds warning-free – that’s a whopping several thousand warnings being taken care of. /golfclap

Which, if the developers had taken care of them as they happened, it wouldn't be something to write home about. But noooo....now it's like some sort of "ooh, look at how awesome we are" instead of "you dumb f***s, you should have fixed these in the first place."
And:
the clearing of this technical debt will now eliminate the possibility of bugs hiding inside the flagged code.
Yeah. You know what happens when you touch thousands of places in the code? You introduce bugs.

Thank you. That was the feeling I had while I read this, but I couldn't put into words as fine as yours.

"No warning since day one" would be a lot to write home about IMO.

Maybe the number of failing unit tests stayed the same so they figured they didn't.

And we all know that there's never a bug in code which compiles without warnings, ever.

There's only one warning I haven't been able to resolve in my life...
In VB.NET I had to overwrite a function, so I needed to use Shadows or whatever. It wasn't really allowed because the base class wasn't set up that way. It was a third party library and this was their solution for my problem, so what could I do? In the end I simply edited some config and the warning went away. I believe I looked at C# too, which DID allow it... I still have trouble sleeping at night!

Except the warnings generally issued to never allow a Java plug-in (or Flash) to run in your browser, of course.

Last spring, the idea of 'Windows 365' popped up several times and the logic behind it was that Microsoft would soon offer a subscription based Windows service. "Each and every day of the year"

What about leap years? Is it going to be available on day 366? When I think about it, marketing could make use of it: "Subscribe to Windows 365 today and get one day for free every leap year." Not too far fetched from most of their ideas nowadays.

Let say we use a specific version of Windows for 5 years. It cost about $120 to purchase and some times it even cheaper with upgrade price...
Add to that that most people buy OS with the computer where the $15 price (doubled of course) is part of the final payment (yes Microsoft charge $15 or less for OEM)...
So. How much Microsoft will ask for a yearly submission?
I sounds me like the deal of socks I saw a few weeks before - 1 for $2 5 for $12...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away there was a widely used MFC library which had a few classes with methods that compared "this" pointer to null. It's always the ones you don't check that are pointing at null
