Java Webserver Recommendation
We have an existing Java backend (Tomcat 8/Java 8) that we want to rewrite piece by piece (slowly replace APIs as they become alliable in the new server. To that end I'd like to start with a new & more modern web server. It has to be Java based because of the current team's knowledge base. [more inside]
What are some practical uses of 2D and 3D arrays in Java?
I know how to code them, but I'd like to try a few real-world examples to get a better understanding of their utility.
Best way for a middle school students to learn Java offline?
I am a mentor with our local FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) team. Due to a lot of kids graduating out, we will have a relatively young and inexperienced team for the next year or two. I need help getting a couple talented 8th graders a good solid introduction to Java programming. (Challenge: must be offline) [more inside]
Is Java Island the densest area in the world?
Geographers and statisticians and demography wonks! Java is an island of Indonesia. If it was a country, it would have 2% of the world's population, being the 10th most populous country in the world, while only being the size of North Carolina/Greece. This seems to be on a whole another magnitude of continuous density than anywhere else in the world. Are there any areas in the world around 53,588 sq mi/138,793 sq km that have just as many people?

Is Java for databases a thing in 2019? If not, what else?
I want to learn more about databases. While at an extremely boring temp job, I completed the first three courses of this (free for me) PHP/SQL course. I want to keep beefing up my database skills. Here are my choices:
- Lynda.com, to which I have free access granted by my newer, better job. A bewildering array of options.
- A community college database track, which starts with an online Java for Beginners course.
I broke the shark game. Explain how and how/if I can fix it?
So as you know, I've been playing the Shark Game. I recently got "lots" of everything, which is at least a nonillion (10^30). I decided that since I can view the specific amounts in the log, my new goal would be to get a googol of everything (10^100). I left it running with an auto-clicker overnight that would triple my total resources every few seconds. Now the log lists some of my resources as "infinity". However, I can't seem to use those resources to buy anything. [more inside]
Where can I find Java programmers for an accessibility problem?

Need a new resume
I'm a new-ish Java developer (4 years) with a long-ish tenure in IT (20 years). I've never job hunted as a Java developer. My current position was an internal transfer. So I would like to pay someone to write a new resume which highlights everything I've learned in the past 4 years. Who did a good job writing your resume?
Programming for Business/MIS: Java or C++?

Ridiculous shark game!
This lovely post has me addicted to this ridiculous game
And this article seems helpful- BUT I don't have any shrimp or sponge!
What am I missing?
Can I somehow see the math behind a web game in the page source?
I play the shark game (previously). After you get 1000 octillion of something, it stops telling you how much you have and just says "lots." I've had "lots" in many columns for over two years now, but I would like to know how much that actually is. It's obviously keeping track. Can i see these numbers somehow by viewing page source or some tool that lets me see the code or...? [more inside]
A way for an Android program to speak Arabic?
Arabic doesn't seem to be among the languages supported by Android's TTS software (unless I'm mistaken). Is there a third-party library that would let a Java Android program speak out loud in Arabic? [more inside]
Software Developers: Am I right to be annoyed about this?

Windows: how to display webpage or application when machine goes idle?

Why is Minecraft suddnely ignoring my mods?
I am playing Minecraft 1.10.2 with Forge installed and a handful of mods. Everything was working well until yesterday when suddenly the mods appeared to be broken and/or missing. Googling has brought up a possible issue with Java 8 (and indeed, this all went wrong after I updated Java), but I do not understand the suggested fixes posted online.
Can someone please patiently and in simple steps explain how I fix this mess? My skill level is slightly above Potato. [more inside]

OS X Yosemite - Help me fix Photoshop CS5.

Straddling the Java Runtime Environment line on OSX 10.10 Yosemite
I run OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). I have some programs that need the current Java runtime environment; I have some programs that need a legacy JRE (6). I need to use both of them. Is there a solution (virtual machine?) that lets me do that? [more inside]
How to fix serialization and stream corruption errors in Java program?
I'm pretty new to programming and I'm trying to resolve an issue with a java-based program I'm using for a research project. I've downloaded/installed the program files and updated the directories, but when I run the program I get an "InvalidClassException" error. The bigger problem is that when I try to define my "serialversionUID" I get another error: "StreamCorruptedException". I'm running the program in my terminal on my Mac. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or how to get the program to run. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [more inside]
Intermediate/Advanced Java Programming Books?
I'm a software developer with several years of experience under my belt. Lately, I've been working with lots of Java code, but have very little formal Java training. Unfortunately, most of the resources that I've found seem to target people with little/no programming experience OR lots of basic Java experience. Can anybody recommend books or other resources that teach Java, from the perspective of a developer who is already experienced with OOP and other C-style languages? [more inside]

Java needs to make me go OO
After getting laid off due to restructuring (boo!), a contact helped me get a phone interview for a really cool position (yay!). However, it's a Java web developer role, whereas my experience is PHP/perl; I'd have to reach back 15+ years to school for the last time I did object-oriented coding myself, although I've done a lot of C# code reviewing recently.
There's going to be coding/design questions, so I'm studying like crazy. Most of the Java stuff I'm finding is either targeted towards experienced C++/C# programmers, OR total beginners ("this is an IDE, drp"). Pointers on best resources for someone who's got a coding background that's just not OO?

Where can I learn/get back to speed with *practical* Java?
I majored in CompSci. I have 7 years of programming experience. I spent 2 years coding in Java. But then I took a break from programming, which lasted for about 5 years, and now I'd like some hand-holding while I'm finding my way back. [more inside]

Installing Fedora Commons on OS X Mavericks Server
Digital librarians of Metafilter: I am looking for installation and configuration documentation to get Fedora Commons 3.7 up and running on a Mac OS X (Mavericks) server. Surprisingly, my googling has not yet yielded an up-to-date OS X-specific guide. Can anyone point me to such documentation? Or have you installed Fedora Commons on your OS X server, and have any tips? [more inside]

Hourly contract rate for SQL in the UK?
I'm an American in the UK and have been hired to do some freelance work for a tech company in Northern England. I'm not sure what to charge for my hourly rate. I am working in SQL, writing queries and turning them into data visualizations for the web (using Ruby and Javascript/HTML). I am very junior, although quite competent at SQL; I'm coming up (and quickly) in the other areas. [more inside]

Is there a good, NON-JAVA, non-MS project management tool out there?
I will be starting to work on several small, overlapping projects soon and need a lightweight tool. WANT: Ability to manage 2-3 resources (mostly me, really), schedule tasks, create and output Gantt charts. DO NOT WANT: The security hole of suck known as Java, so Project Libre, OpenProj and the like are right out. MEH, WILL ACCEPT IF NEEDED: Cloud app. I really prefer desktop programs for various reasons, but if the best solution is on the cloud, so be it. A PLEA: I'm going to a presentation on Office 365 tonight with a devotee of MS Project. Please arm me in advance against the call of the dark side! [more inside]

Is there a Twitter widget that doesn't depend on Java?
I want to embed a Twitter feed, but is there an option that doesn't use Java? I just tested the site on different browsers around the office, and at least half of them aren't displaying the feed until I either update or enable Java on those particular machines. Is there another option?
Java developers: How do I push myself to the next level?
I am a Java developer. I am in a dead end job that used to be awesome but my company reorganized underneath us. Many of our group went to a sister company in the organization, including my old boss. I now report to someone in a distant city, though I am located in NYC. The relationship is good but he is hugely overloaded and very inaccessible and undependable. I've been interviewing, but I had two good possibilities fail recently. I think it's because I need to get to the next level. [more inside]
Looking for a user script to improve the tumblr dashboard: 5-6 columns?
I'm hoping to find a user script for Tumblr that will go from the default 1 column layout to something that has 5-6 columns to take advantage of my widescreen monitor.
I've found a userscript that gets partway there ("minimal three column layout"), but it suppresses the Like & Repost buttons. I've tried modifying it to have 5 columns instead of three, but I don't know java for beans.
Would someone in the hivemind be able to tweak this appropriately, or know another way to get a better layout?

How to beef up on basic Python/Java and get the skinny on databases?

Reverting to Java 6 from Java 7 (Mac)
Asking for a friend:
There is an online grading platform that apparently only runs on Java 6, but he has a mid-year 2012 MacBook Pro unibody (13") and it came with Java 7 installed. He needs to be able to enter grades at home, which means he needs Java 6. Both of us are good with technology (and searched Google for information), but the links we found often referred to computers where Java 6 was installed, and then was replaced with Java 7. Help?

How to go from good software engineer to God of the Code?
(Java-flavored question) I have work colleagues who can explain how and when the JVM inlines code, or when implicit constructors are made / called based on the access level of global variables. They can think through code like the compiler thinks. How do I get to that level? [more inside]
How to "copy on drag" text in Windows 7?
I need to copy text between a commercial text editor (TextPad 6.1.3 by Helios) and a home brew program used by my company. When I try to do this now, the highlighted text is moved/cut rather than copied. Is there a Windows 7 or TextPad setting I can use to force the behavior to copy rather than cut the text?

Does Wolfram Alpha use Java?
Loading this web page I get an error saying that a plugin is disabled. I've disabled Java. How do I tell if this page is using Java?

Java exploits in Mac - how do I get rid of it all?
After running Avast, I discovered some infected Java files on my macbook (10.5.8). I deleted them in Avast, but how do I know if I've gotten rid of it all? Is it on my Time Machine back up? Do I need to change my passwords? Do I need to take this to a Genius Bar, or can I fix it myself? [more inside]
I had a compromised Java version. How do I clean up afterwards?
My AV program found 'Exploit:Java/CVE-2012-4681' on my laptop. It's a primer that sets up my machine for future exploits, but I haven't found any further infections using AV or Housecall. What steps should I be taking to assure myself that the machine is clean, and what can I do to prevent this kind of problem in the future. [more inside]
Spinning, exploding Excel-driven web app: How or should it be?
Sometimes, I am a front-end web developer. Frequently, I meet new people at work who want to turn really complicated Excel documents into dazzlingly interactive web applications.
Besides Excel's "Save to Web App" or "Save to SharePoint" features, such people ask if I can tap into an industry to support this -- perhaps scads of agencies and web-based or downloadable tools that make "websites" or at least customizable, interactive reports from Excel spreadsheets, data, and calculations.
I'm yet to find this an abundance of examples of this. Are there? If so, what do you call them? [more inside]
