Hi Raju,
Welcome.

Which according to you is the best git workflow?
Or which one is best for which type of situation/team?
1. Trunk based development
2. Master and feature branch
3. Master, develop and feature branch
Any other?

Thanks.
Is there any usecase where it would make sense to use kubernetes on local env? By local env I mean developers machine.
Docker compose could be used to deploy and test docker image, which takes less resources.
Thanks.

We recently moved to Java 8 in our company and I am still getting used to usage and syntax of streams and lambda.
Few weeks ago, I spoke to a friend and he says they are on java 11.

What I know from Oracle docs is that they are going to release new version every 6 months and long term support version every 2 years.

So how can we keep up to date with new features, syntax etc (along with other usual office work and personal work)? Especially if latest version isn't used at work.

And certificate requires knowledge of specific behavior of a particular feature so having superficial knowledge doesn't work.

Thanks.
Hi Jeanne Boyarsky & Scott Selikoff,
Why do you think OCP certificate is divided into 2 steps (1Z0-815 and 1Z0-816)?
Thanks and congratulations on your book.

I used ranch after long time, and when I posted in a thread, I found that my username is changed (from ankur rathi to ankurr rathii) and I have 1 past post:

https://coderanch.com/t/3310/Ranch-Office/Member-profile-corrupt-blank

In this I am mentioning about profile getting corrupted.

I don't know what has happened? Please do something.

Thanks.



Apologies.
This was my other username I created to report corrupt profile.
Anyways I found my usual ranch username.

Also check this - http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/plus_dynamic_dns.html

In 25 USD per year, they'll provide a service to translate yourdomain.com to your dynamic ip... no expenses on getting static ip.
You can run whatever stack you want to on your server...

Anyone tried this before?

However I am not sure of one thing - why an ISP will come to no-ip.com to resolve a generic host name?

I think you need to go for static IP.
Once I inquired at Airtel few years back, it was around 2000 INR (~40 USD) per month.

You'll also need a very high speed internet connection and a good server - no idea about the price and kind of server you should buy. For internet, you might want to check with some ISPs - depending on your requirement, they'll suggest you some package. Please do post here if you get some idea.

Hi,

I am not sure if some of it is already posted but let me put my feedback -

1. The new look and feel is very dark, has less area having useful content.
2. Most of the people use it at work so I think keeping it light (less attractive/less attention seeking) should be the key, IMO. Current is fine.

Will it be possible to run both versions? I think, no.

I'll personally prefer to use current look and feel.

Thanks.

Not Java, but Oracle's ADF claims to provide WORA thing for mobiles (Android, iOS).

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/overview/adf-mobile-096323.html

While I haven't used ADF much but I think it could be good for utility types of apps (like banking apps, ticket booking apps) which has basic UI, surface some information and basic transactional in nature...
I don't think it can be used for games, hi-fi UI apps...

Still looks promising to me for Enterprises - and it's from Oracle too (given the fact that big organizations trust mostly two vendors: IBM and Oracle)...

In countries like US, UK, Australia etc, eReaders (like Kindle, Nook etc) are very popular - they're convenient to carry, hold many books and eBooks are cheaper compare to paper books.

In India (and other alike countries), however paper books are priced very cheaply, comparatively. It's like book of 30 USD is available in 500 INR (~10 USD).

How Amazon and others are going to sell their devices in countries like India? Will people spend 15 USD more (considering eBook version is priced at 25 USD) for convenience, every time, for each book?
As there is no separate cheaper 'Indian' edition available for eBook... If they'll make it available, people from US, UK can buy it too…

What's your thought on this?

Thanks fred.
However I think things are not as simple as your reply.
Just found this link on first page when searched 'copyright of content on forum site' - http://www.forumdr.com/who-owns-forum-posts/67/

Anyway my intention of asking this question was to know -
Can I publish my own post to some other sites/internal company portal?

I think it should be okay but just wanted to confirm. Can I?

Thanks!

I am not sure if this has been discussed here, if it's then please ignore this post and link to original one.

I am curious to know who holds copyright of content available on Javaranch forum - is it JR? or author of content? Or both (how?)?

For google, they say:

Thoughts please?

Hi,

We've have been hearing this word on many occasion - cloud. It's like a new buzz word in software industry.
What I understand is - you don't buy servers on your own, instead you deploy your applications on others' *big*, *ready to use/product already installed* servers (available on internet) & pay rent for it. It saves you time & cost of server. It's quite good for initial prototypes building/demoing something...

Now how this is new thing (or I've not understood cloud, may be)?

Mainframe was similar kind of thing. Companies didn't my mainframe machines as they were very costly I think, and probably security reasons were also there... They used others (IBM I guess) mainframe...

Your thoughts?

Thanks for your time!

Also placing problem here for those who don't want to register...


A polygon is a flat shape consisting of straight line segments that are joined to form a closed chain or circuit. A polygon consists of at least three sides and does not self-intersect.

A set S of positive numbers is said to generate a polygon P if:

no two sides of P are the same length,
the length of every side of P is in S, and
S contains no other value.

For example:
The set {3, 4, 5} generates a polygon with sides 3, 4, and 5 (a triangle).
The set {6, 9, 11, 24} generates a polygon with sides 6, 9, 11, and 24 (a quadrilateral).
The sets {1, 2, 3} and {2, 3, 4, 9} do not generate any polygon at all.

Consider the sequence s, defined as follows:

s1 = 1, s2 = 2, s3 = 3
sn = sn-1 + sn-3 for n > 3.

Let Un be the set {s1, s2, ..., sn}. For example, U10 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 13, 19, 28, 41}.
Let f(n) be the number of subsets of Un which generate at least one polygon.
For example, f(5) = 7, f(10) = 501 and f(25) = 18635853.

Find the last 9 digits of f(1018).
