Looks like Eclipse Collections had a debate about what minimum #Java version to support, and ended up releasing 12.0 a month ago supporting Java 11, and then released 13.0 supporting Java 17 just 4 days later.

@Crell @alina it's not ignorance.

It's the fact that #PHP is still a pain in the ass and that every software I know that uses it is a burning piece of shit when it comes to security and updates.

  • Seriously, I know people who go full terminator when you ask them to deal with shit like #WordPress or any other php shite and they'd rather deal with #Java and #Tomcat than to ever touch it.

And sadly I agree with them: Because php feels like #IIS Extensions but worse...

#macOS #programming people, I need some help.

I have #Java code that parses a CSV file that was written by Microsoft Excel. It therefore needs to know which character encoding was used.

On Windows, the Java system property “native.encoding” is set to Cp1252, which matches what Excel writes. On my Mac, however, native.encoding=UTF-8, but Excel writes in MacRoman!

TextEdit also assumes CSV files are MacRoman when reading them.

Anybody know how Excel and TextEdit choose their default encoding?
