"Show all posts from newest to oldest" is an algorithm.

"Shows random 10 posts, unordered" is an algorithm.

It's not possible to show a list of items without an algorithm. You may of course take issue with what the algorithm is, but you can't not have one.

I'm not saying ignore it, it's a valid reason to not like the game, like any other subjective reason.

I'm saying calling the game "Pokemon with guns" is dismissive of what the game is. It's like calling Minecraft "Rust with animal husbandry", which completely misses what the game is about.

People say "Pokemon with guns" as if that was some kind of core gameplay. You can play through the game without ever using them. It's a small feature, that absolutely is there, but reducing the game to that is missing the forest for the trees.

It's an open world crafting base building game to enjoy with co-op, that has catchable creatures like Pokemon. There is no Pokemon game that fits this niche. The guns are not important to what the game is.

To make it more specific I guess, what's the problem with that? It's like having a "people living on boats" and "people with no long term address". You could include the former in the latter, but then you are just conveying less information.

Micronaut and Vert.X also work, and with Kotlin you unlock that ecosystem as well, for example Ktor. One could argue whether Spring is still a modern framework. It works very well, but there is a lot of "magic" and hard to understand annotations with Spring that make it harder to learn and debug than it could be.

Of course the reality in enterprise environments is that change is often very difficult and such changes are a hard sell when you already have millions of lines of Spring code.

But if you are not locked to Spring, there are better options. DI being build in is another negative to me. Spring does everything, and any project using it becomes a "Spring project". Which robs you of any choice. If you use Ktor for example, it's only a library, not a framework, and only does the web component. You choose your own DI library that works for you, you choose your own serialization, you choose your own persistence/database solutions, and you can replace Ktor with something else 3 years down the line, if needed, without touching any of the other parts if the project.

I use IntelliJ Idea. The free Community Edition is all you need.

None, because it's not a real department, and has as much legal meaning as any made up department you and me can think of. But if course if Trump acts as if it's real and listens to it's opinions (which have the same legal weight as any private person's opinions), then it doesn't matter it's not real.

And GUI is even easier and faster with Compose.

I thought I like Java until I tried Kotlin. It's everything I liked about Java, but with everything wrong with it fixed.

And much of the confusion and frustration at "Java" is actually because of Spring, or the "enterprise" nonsense making everything unnecessarily complex. You can just... write Java without any of that.

You shouldn't though, because Kotlin exists, which fixes everything that's wrong with Java while still being 100% compatible, so even in legacy projects you can mix and match and write new code in Kotlin without needing to rewrite any of the existing Java.

A drone is an unmanned vehicle, e.g. SpaceX drone boats serving as mobile landing pads, Ukrainian drone boats carrying explosives, drone research submarines, ground drones for mine defusal, etc.

This is definitely not a drone. It's a quadcopter.

Apparently I was the only one to read the title that way, but I thought your brothers died (late) in their 40s.
