Gute Monade!

So you somehow enabled something in Java.util.logging? And that triggered slowdowns?

Goeiemorgen! I have been told that it's spooky season πŸ‘» . Do we consider that an American perversion of our Celtic traditions or do we roll with it?

2020-10-07T08:14:24.259300Z

As with many American things, looks like a lot of it is from Scotland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Halloween#Scotland

5th November is when we have a weird sectarian holiday about anti-Catholicism, terrorism, torture, and execution

some factory owner in guangdong producing Guy Fawkes masks is very grateful for that one

(speaking of Celts don't know if there are others here who geek out equally on history and language, but I've been tremendously enjoying this podcast recently https://historyofenglishpodcast.com/)

Halloween and all those holidays fly all over my Greek head πŸ™‚ Autumn is pretty boring, our spooky stuff happens around Christmas/New Years where the goblins that try to chop down the tree that holds the earth to the sky come up and play tricks πŸ™‚

Makes me think, when I used 6 of those technologies at work in the last 3 years :thinking_face:

borkdude 2020-10-09T07:26:22.302700Z

We probably all have used that technology more than we liked to

Oh, I've heard of these. The world tree saw story was the one I recognized.

Or for the classic horror stories: XML! Enterprise Java Beans! CORBA!
