Sounds like a problem that the Mockito team created for themselves, and like a problem only they can solve.
See https://openjdk.org/jeps/451: JEP 451: Prepare to Disallow the Dynamic Loading of Agents, which has a lot of background on the topic.

Oracle Cloud only charges a fraction of want Google, Microsoft, and Amazon charge. Any idea how Oracle is able to keep the cost so low? Or are the others just inflating the price so customers don’t move to the…
I don't understand the negativity in this thread about Oracle and the pricing model. GraalVM is an amazing piece of technology that enables many new applications. Oracle has the courage to invest heavily in this…
I know nothing about Android development with Gradle (or Android development in general, for that matter). I feel that is where a lot of negativity in this thread comes from. But then it's not per-se Gradle who is to…
This is funny, because I have the complete opposite experience. Yes, it took me an afternoon to find my way around Gradle. But ever since I really appreciate their documentation. It is to the point, well written,…
The problem is that it is super easy to modify a Gradle build scripts, but also super hard to get it right (e.g. understanding of configuration vs. execution phase, concept of configurations, task dependencies). As long…
Why so negative? You don't _have_ to do all of that, but as a software engineer you are in the unique position in which you're able to do a bit of all of that _if you want to_. It's like saying: why should I do…
I don't understand what nginx has to do with this. nginx's language is just that: a language. If Lambda@Edge would support nginx language, you would still be invoking a lambda. But I'd must rather write some header…
Sounds like it. Which in turn is similar to Akamai EdgeWorker (Akamai's JavaScript-at-the-edge)
The distinction you're making is more about _fundamental_ research vs. _applied_ research, but it is research nevertheless. From the first hit I found on Google: * Fundamental researches mainly aim to answer the…
There seems to be a connection though. This project tabler/tabler-icons is part of Tabler, which features FeatherIcons: https://preview.tabler.io/icons.html. Not saying there's anything wrong here, for all I know it…
Quality as in "a BMW is of better quality than a Peugeot" ;)
I'm not sure if the author is trolling or actually presenting this as some groundbreaking insight. I thought it was obvious to anyone that no cookies means no cookie notice (and there are plenty of static websites that…

My sister’s former boyfriend used to carry a phone without a SIM. His mom ended up calling my sister or our landline to check up on her son. It was annoying AF. Feel free to live off the grid, but please make sure you…
I recently came across her "Perf zine" [1] and immediately bookmarked it because I enjoyed it so much. It may target entry-level engineers, but it's still a joy to read for anyone. [1] https://jvns.ca/perf-zine.pdf
I'm Dutch speaker, we're known to be very direct, but I too believe adding "Please" in front of a request does not per se make it more polite. Another example that bothers me quite a lot is adding "Thanks" to a request…
In my experience, EV certs are not a technical thing but a marketing thing. EV certs show your name in the address bar, so it's certainly more visible. If an EV cert boost sales by 1% and costs 500$ a year, then it will…
Though it's true that compilers usually turn assignments into SSA, that's not really the same as what parent was referring to. Static single assignment has the same semantics as normal C-style assignments. The parent…
Yes, this sucked. I just had a 1 hour delay on a 1 hour flight (AMS-ZHR). Unfortunately, no compensation until its a 2 hour delay (but thank god it was only one hour!). Passengers who had a layover were noticeably less…
