nipafx news #92 — 31st of December 2021 — Hi everyone, let me be frank with you, I’m sick of my yearly reviews. At least right now. It’s always the same “these were my plans and goals for the year, I didn’t quite achieve them and felt bad about that, but the overall outcome was still ok-ish, bla bla…

nipafx news #91 — 12th of September 2021 — Hi everyone, I wanted to send this on Sunday. It’s still Sunday (where I’m at), so here it goes. Less than what I aimed for but the important parts are there: A thorough (I hope) discussion of long-term support and an invitation to come to Accento (now online and free). …

nipafx news #90 — 6th of August 2021 — Hi everyone, I occasionally get asked about my setup for coding, gaming, recording, streaming, or writing and since it’s all the same hardware, I thought I’d kill 🦤🦤🦤🦤🦤 with one stone and let you know everything about it. In a similar vein, a few people have been curious about my…

nipafx news #89 — 5th of July 2021 — Hi everyone, I’ve grown accustomed to sending this out on the month’s last Sunday and so you might’ve expected this newsletter eight days ago.

nipafx news #87 — 25th of April 2021 — Hi everyone, here’s the thing: I already put all my Java stuff out there and have nothing left to share in this newsletter. :-S As I get better at using the various channels at my disposal to share what I learned quicker, this may become more common. Then again, I’m…

nipafx news #86 — 28th of March 2021 — Hi everyone, how are you all doing? I hope these trying times are kind to you. Depending on where you live, you may slowly see the light at the end of the tunnel, right? Over here in Germany, vaccinations aren’t exactly going great (I’d be surprised to get the first…

nipafx news #85 — 28th of February 2021 — Hi everyone, I hope you’re comfortable because this is a long one! I didn’t plan it this way, there’s just a lot of things I want to share with you — from a detail on Java’s (sub)packages to a discussion of its anachronistic defaults (mutability, nullability, etc.) and serialization to…

nipafx news #84–31st of January 2021 — Hi everyone, finally the newsletter is back to coding, so no yapping — I’ll get right to it. I send this newsletter out some Sundays. Or other days.
