  Thanks to https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8369517, I can now close several long-standing issues in #IntelliJIDEA bug tracker as 'third-party issue'. People reported that IntelliJ erroneously highlights compilable code as red. But it was not our mistake. The code in question should not be compilable, according to the specification! This is fixed in Java 26, so your code may become broken there.

  I've received a copy of Japanese translation of my '100 Java Mistakes' book. I love the work done by translator Yoshiki Shibata! He didn't just translate the text. He followed the instructions to do what I'm saying (e.g., create structural search template) in the Japanese-localized #IntelliJIDEA and took the new screenshots. All inspection names match our official translation, he actually looked how we translated them in our localization.

  Today we had a fire alarm in the office. A colleague wrote to a Slack channel 'Fire alarm in the office building', to start a thread if somebody knows any details. We have AI assistant Glean integrated into the Slack, and it answered privately to her: "today's siren is just a scheduled test and you do not need to leave your workplace". It was not a test or a drill, it was a real fire alarm. Someday, AI will kill us.
