Keep it simple, and make the application as quick and easy to version, using a single Fat JAR, or executable where possible.
Running Java in Production: A SRE’s Perspective - JVM Advent
The problem with the 16-bit micros in the early 80s — such as the Motorola 68000 (used on the Mac) and the Intel 8086 (used for IBM PC compatibles) was not just cycle time but also the fundamental difference between being able to stick “hardware like functions” (such as a byte code interpreter, graphics painting, music, etc.) into a microcode...

Just a moment...
Five weeks ago, I got an idea to create a deck of cards. Each card would have an icon on it that would remind you of someone's body of work. If you scanned the QR code, it would bring you to an artifact in Claude that would have an endless conversation with you based on that body of work. Imagine a patient, inquisitive coach who talks you through... See more
A conversation with Seth Godin
Why are we allowing ourselves to fall for the myth that this is a patient, inquisitive coach? What is it about people like Seth Godin that makes them use that language?
If a writer is really to be helped by an automated system, it ought to do more than retype and transpose: it should stand by him during the early periods of muddled confusion, when his ideas are scraps, fragments, phrases, and contradictory overall designs. And it must help him through to the final draft with every feasible mechanical aid—making... See more
Your Review: Project Xanadu - The Internet That Might Have Been
I agree with Ted here.
Moreover, it would have been subject to frequent breakdown, so that it could not have been depended upon; for at that time and long after, complexity and unreliability were synonymous.
As We May Think
Do new media and technologies succeed when they meet a moment that they can be manufactured or spread reliably?
A few were SpaceX families, but the majority were locals.

Original 30 mostly not SpaceX. Might be important to why they dropped out
Each time the user performs an action, such as pressing a key on the keyboard, moving the mouse, or perhaps banging their head against a touch screen, Java generates an event .
Article
This is Java simply receiving such events from underlying OS and putting them on Event Dispatch Thread. Given focus in windowed contexts, some objects automatically handle some events relevant to them.
“The real dream is for ‘everything’ to be in the hypertext. Everything you read, you read from the screen (and can always get back to right away; everything you write, you write at the screen (and can cross-link to whatever you read).”

The screen imprisons its master?
Integer literals are of type int unless they are suffixed with an L , denoting that they are to be produced as a long value

Seems a bit silly that you can declare the variable as a long and the compiler happily ignores that when first evaluating the literal.
