Backstage, Java, and remote work – three more things to watch in 2024
Here are the other three things I’m going to watch in 2024. By “watch,” I suppose I mean “I really hope something interesting and definitive happens here instead of just a continuation of what was going on in 2023.” I put the first one (our old k-friend) in yesterday’s episode. Backstage – in 2022 and…

What’s with the subscription revenue obsession?; what’s your synergies?; een huishouden van Jan Steen
This is a long edition. What can I say? The deal here is to empty out my “notebook” at least once a week no matter how short or long. I was in Warsaw for a day this week: Prague and Brussels next, and then not too much until VMware Explore EU in November. I hope.…

🗂 Link: ‘Rijksoverheid al 4 jaar in de clinch met Oracle’
According to the confidential memo, Oracle’s routine tactic is to threaten based on incompliance and to maximize potential licensing issues.

Link: Oracle’s Georges Saab on the Impact of Faster Java Releases
When the new six-month cadence was announced there was some talk about “release fatigue.” Have you seen that in the Java community? It’s sort of like asking, if your kids had Christmas twice a year, do you think they’d experience “Christmas fatigue?” The parents might, I guess. What I’m hearing people say now is that…

Link: The computational legacy is Oracle’s cloud opportunity today
The company said it was saving most of its cloud-native announcements for KubeCon in December, but highlighted its new managed Kubernetes service (OKE, launched in May), platinum-level membership in the Cloud-Native Computing Foundation and growing support of open source projects (e.g., Fn, a functions project; Terraform for Oracle Cloud orchestration) as evidence that it has…

Link: Amazon move off Oracle caused Prime Day outage in warehouse
The outage, which lasted for hours on Prime Day, resulted in over 15,000 delayed packages and roughly $90,000 in wasted labor costs, according to the report. Those costs don’t include all the lost hours spent by engineers troubleshooting and fixing the errors or any potential lost sales. I assume Amazon has, and will save much…

Link: Oracle plans to end Java serialization, but that’s not the end of the story
‘Oracle’s chief architect, Mark Reinhold, shared his thoughts about Java’s serialization mechanism which he called a “horrible mistake” and a virtually endless source of security vulnerabilities. This is evident in nearly half of the vulnerabilities that have been patched in the JDK in the last 2 years are related to serialization. Serialization security issues have…

Link: Oracle Gets Cloudy: What’s Behind Their Change in Financial Reporting?
“Oracle did announce during the earnings call that cloud revenue was $1.7B for the quarter, but failed to break that out between SaaS and the combined IaaS and PaaS, as was previously reported. Also, with BYOL, it is impossible to know if customers are using those licenses in the cloud or on-prem, thereby obfuscating their…
