Illegal Argument

For an ostensibly forthrightly podcast, we only managed 10 episodes this year, of which one was a mini-solo cast from Mark, too many holidays and rock concerts getting in the way of recording. Hopefully we can be more organised in 2019! The years podcasts: 145: Java 9 and The Case of the Automatic Module 146: Emanuele Ziglioli and DukeScript 147: The NO Vote 148: Project Glass Tile 149: null == 40...

Save 418 - I was hoping to actually shift the discussion of "Save 418" more towards the importance of specifications, and how 'in the old days' protocols/specs were king, as everything was reused and distributed - but now, it's "the Twitter API" or "the Facebook API" — still, we managed an somewhat interesting discussion over the broadening of specification definitions. Richardson Maturity Model 4...

Initially tonight's episode was going to be called "The Patch Is All" (guess whose been enjoying the new season of Killjoys?) — with a discussion about pre code-review  practises, however with Peter's absence, the discussion centred mostly around the 2017 Java Language Summit which was taking place around the recording period.

Lately it seems we've been rather busy to record, so it was good to finally get 2/3's of us together to actually record, and discuss languages from a less argumentative level ( no wild type theory arguments or build rants ) even tho some of those familiar topics arose in passing. Most of this weeks discussion revolve around a series of videos, or posts that Greg had recently watched: Go and Quasar...
