Fail fast\fail early

Fail-Fast (sinngemäß „schneller Abbruch“) bezeichnet die Eigenschaft eines Systems, Fehler frühzeitig zu erkennen. Ein Fail-Fast-System ist so konzipiert, dass es an seinen Schnittstellen Fehler oder Zustände, die zu Fehlern führen, erkennt und aufzeigt. Üblicherweise beenden sich Fail-Fast-Systeme im Fehlerfall selbst und versuchen nicht, mit dem Fehler weiterzuarbeiten

To download any JRE or JDK from the Oracle download page without signing in, go to the downloads page for the version you want (such as https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html) and click on the Download link of your choice.

When a window pops up saying you need to accept the license agreement, check the box that says you agree. But instead of clicking on the green Download link (which will send you to the login page), right-click the download link and select Copy Link Location.
NOTE: If clicking Download doesn’t show a box and takes you straight to the login page instead, you will need to clear your cookies on the Java website (or open in incognito mode). Paste the copied link into a text editor like Notepad. You’ll see the link points to something like oracle.com/webapps/redirect/signon, but it has a query attached that starts with „nexturl=“. The URL that follows nexturl= is the actual link that will download the file to your computer.

If you want to download any JRE or JDK without signing into Oracle, go to the downloads page for the version you want (such as https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/jdk12-downloads.html) and right-click on the Download link of your choice. Select „Copy Link Location“ and then paste it into a text editor like Notepad.
NOTE: you may need to change the otn in the path to otn-pub as described below.

Buckling-Spring! => IBM Model M

Die Model-M-Tastatur bezeichnet eine Computertastatur-Gattung, die auf die zwischen 1984 und 1999 von IBM millionenfach hergestellte Tastatur „Model M“ zurückgeht.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Model_M

Die einzige Tatstatur mit Buckling-Spring Mechanik: Model M von Unicomp https://www.pckeyboard.com/

Alle anderen Mechanische Tastaturen arbeiten mit anderen Systemen. Mechanische Tastaturen: https://www.getdigital.de/shop/haushalt/buero/computer-zubehoer-und-hardware/mechanische-tastaturen

Insbesondere die Cherry MX switches erzeugen einen spürbaren „Rückschlag“ beim loslassen… was das original nicht macht.

Patterns for Managing Source Code Branches from Martin Fowler

Like most software patterns, few of them are gold standards that all teams should follow. Software development workflow is very dependent on context, in particular the social structure of the team and the other practices that the team follows.
In thinking about these patterns, I find it useful to develop two main categories. One group looks at integration, how multiple developers combine their work into a coherent whole. The other looks at the path to production, using branching to help manage the route from an integrated code base to a product running in production.
