Community Edition is seemingly being phased out as a product/concept. There is now the free as in beer version (bringing back old school vibes of shareware) and the paid version, and you download them both in a single release binary.


As you’re familiar with the JBoss space, why would someone use an enterprise container over a simple HTTP server (Tomcat, Jetty, etc)?

Currently I’m trying to externalize as much as possible to the service mesh. I want teams to stand up a basic unencrypted HTTP server that accepts the company headers and just works with as minimal of a runtime as possible.


I wouldn't use application servers today, but they were solving many of the same issues as whole kubernetes clusters do, decades ago.

The Java (now Jakarta) EE standard on top is a good base for third party implementations to "speak a common language", e.g. it's not that hard to move between Quarkus/spring/micronaut etc, even if not all support the actual standard.


Is there a way to legally or even practically prevent this? `claude` CLI execution in a shell is certainly included in the subscription - it’s the product.


Practically; yes. MMOs have been doing this kind of thing (Preventing alteration / automation of the client) for ages now.


Yes, I do believe you own the correct answers - however, can you make a long form blog post about this and share it on Hacker News? We need the rest of the information.

My room should be messy when I come back to it - how else would I find anything if it wasn’t where I left it?


China disregards that and there is an absolutely massive ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software out there if you can read and write their code.


I know little about china (except i like the food and art) but do they actually write code in their native language(s)?!


I can only speak for Japan, but I suspect China is the same. In Japan, English programming is the norm because all mainstream programming languages are written in English. Keywords, libraries and documentation are in English, so there's not really any getting around the fact that you have to learn to read at least some English. Some Japanese developers do write identifiers in Japanese where languages support it, and documentation / comments are often written in Japanese, of course.

I, personally, think this is a lamentable state of affairs that raises the barrier to entry for programming, especially for children. There are education-oriented Japanese programming languages that try to fill the niche for teaching children, but I think it would be beneficial if there were serious languages with a full ecosystem rather than ones designed to be training wheels before learning English programming languages.


Why not use a pre-processor or something like it to simply translate the keywords etc? I know that there isn’t a 1:1 match between English words and words in other languages, but you should be able to get something close enough.


I actually have done that, but there are still problems. It doesn't really do anything to help somebody who can't read English because things like error messages and libraries are still in English, and it doesn't play nicely with IDE tooling, which is fixable in open-source editors but not proprietary editors. It ends up being a lot of effort for an experience that feels very much second-class.



The first STM32 "bluepill"-based SCSI to SD adaptor I ever used had all its source code in Chinese.

Google Translate did a not terrible job of turning all the comments into English but also mangled the code in exciting new ways, but with a bit of ingenuity to apply the Artificial Intelligence translations, and a bit of bloodymindedness when applying the Analogue Idiocy to hacking it all about with search-and-replace, I got a pretty plausible translation of it.


Nope, they just add huge Chinese comments.


> Fewer things sound less interesting to me than that.

To each their own! I think the market for folks who understand their own problems is exploding! It’s free money.


Why absolutely no mention of VS Code?


VS Code uses LSPs which are mentioned.


Hire is not always the correct word. There is evidence they acquire international talent without consent.


First lucky try, “calisthenics” scores a verified 1. It would be interesting if there was a Parquet file of the raw data.

For the record, the 100% correct answer to your name being called in standup is, "I am working on the task which is In Development. It will be delivered to the QA team on time. No blockers."
