09:48:04enoqtrying to step through spring security and its abysmal docs again, looks like the blogosphere has been completely taken over by AI crap
09:49:09enoqI'm trying to figure out if adding your custom AuthenticationProvider with @Component injects it into all security filter chains which I don't want
09:49:53enoqat least looking at ProviderManager it seems like it should inject a list of providers from the global scope

11:11:46hassoonal lthe blame on the damn AI
11:11:51hassoonall the *
11:12:04hassoonSO is still useful though, to some extent
11:12:35hassooni think a google search now is more useful than a SO, because it generates an AI response for you from SO and other sources combined
11:23:02* sweatiest joined #java
11:26:47deebobrewing a cup of tea and reading the tea leaves is more useful than google
11:28:01jreicherI've actually found gemini summaries quite useful because they provide sources. Most of the time I click on those.
11:29:13deebothey're usually ok, just have to verify everything
11:29:32hassoondeebo: good.. idea
11:29:47hassooni only use deepseek when i try to toy with AI
11:30:01hassoonor try to brainstorm something
11:30:16jreicherdeebo: but that's acceptable, no? I wouldn't expect AI to be much better than a junior RA.
11:32:06deebowell it's the best available since google itself is complete ass now
11:32:45deebotried using duck duck go for some time, but they were really bad with local language synonyms etc, so it was impossible to find what i wanted
11:33:09deebogoogle is good at that, but then pushes ad based results or seo bullshit

11:47:52jreicherdeebo: while I'm not interested in defending google, if you describe it as "ass" that implies something better? What would that be?
11:52:15deeboi don't think there really is, which is the sad part
11:58:51jreicherMy hope is that AI will kill SEO.
12:01:50dreamrealIt's just going to change it
12:02:30jreicherI agree, but I don't think there's any "just" aboutit.
12:09:10dreamrealwell, there never was, SEO was always a moving target
12:10:17* mrcrabs827769651 joined #java
12:11:49jreicherI've always thought it was a fool's errand.
12:12:09dreamrealI've never been able to do it well, myself.
12:12:11jreicherAnd the nice thing about that - if I'm right - is that it becomes really easy to identify the fools.
12:12:31dreamrealI read stuff that I wrote that's had SEO applied and it's... just.. kinda gross
12:12:59dreamrealAs an author you have to decide what's more important: rent or your precious words
12:15:49jreicherdreamreal: just make up some shit about Miley Cyrus.
12:16:07deeboneed coding articles written like recipe articles
12:16:09dreamrealWill pass on that, know very little about her
12:16:28deeboi still remember the darkening days and my grand mothers stories about virtual threads around the fireplace
12:16:44dreamrealI've been actually happy with the stuff I've been writing lately, although I don't know that there's a lot of new ground I can cover on the topics
12:17:34deeboevery morning i take my coffee in my office at my desk and open hackernews and realize it's just AI news now
12:17:54LaSombraSuch is life nowadays
12:18:10dreamrealNews FROM AI or ABOUT AI?
12:18:36deeboprobably both
12:19:05dreamrealThere's certainly some aspect of that, but HN tends to downvote anything AI-related reflexively
12:19:13deeboit's like articles about the latest shovels and peoples comparing shovels to previous models, but then never digging any holes
12:19:23dreamrealI posted a human-written article and the AI summary of the article to show teh difference and teh summary got flagged as AI
12:19:42dreamrealjust imagine: an AI summary, prefixed with "this is the AI summary of the article," got flagged as AI!
12:23:22LaSombraCan never be too sure :)
12:23:34jreicherdeebo: I have a paid subscription to a paper newspaper that is delivered to my house daily, and I pick up the free local newspaper weekly (again, paper).
12:23:42dreamrealwell, whn it's attributed directly to an AI it's probably a safe bet

13:55:11ne555good morning, `list.stream().map(x -> x.get()).filter(x -> Objects.nonNull(x)).forEach(x -> { ... })`, say that `list` holds `WeakReference`, ¿is that map-filter correct or may bite me later?

14:20:14fizzieOn a completely unrelated note, isn't the whole point of Objects.nonNull that you can use it to write just `.filter(Objects::nonNull)` instead of a lambda?

16:00:59cheeserfizzie: the whole point? probably not, but you can do that, yes.
16:14:38fizzieCan't really think why you'd write `Objects.nonNull(x)` over `x != null` if not using it for a method reference. Well, I guess you could be allergic to punctuation.
16:14:53fizzie(The JavaDoc does mention that "This method exists to be used as a Predicate, filter(Objects::nonNull)".)
16:16:05* Adrian35 joined #java
16:16:29dreamreal$work uses it as a simple validation all the time since it's a method call instead of a statement.
16:16:43dreamrealSo if you can't think of why, well, I get it, but that's a limited imagination.
16:17:05dgregoryI think it's fine - the `.get()` converts the `WeakReference` to a strong reference or null, and `nonNull` ensures that the `forEach` only runs if the `WeakReference` wasn't already cleared
16:18:39* sa02irc joined #java
16:20:31ParaIt produces an NPE with better trace as it nowadays includes the symbol name. Or so I've told.
16:20:41ParaI have never bothered to actually check :P
16:20:45fizzieIt doesn't throw an NPE.
16:20:58ParaWell AssertionError or whatever :D I'm just doing the motions.
16:21:06fizzieIt doesn't throw anything.
16:21:08fizzieObjects.requireNonNull would, and I have no beef with that.
16:21:08cheeserrequireNotNull() throws.
16:21:17Parawell that.
16:22:26fizzie`Objects.nonNull(x)` just returns the boolean value of `x != null`.
16:24:51fizzieI'm a little curious about what sort of context requires (or at least prefers) a method call rather than a different kind of expression.
16:25:25ParaI guess it prevents people from flipping the args and having stupid errors that way but ehhhh.
16:26:36wazimportant issue of the day!
16:27:05cheeseri can see people putting in to a list of validations. that's honestly not far off from how a predicate would be used in many ways but not entirely.
16:29:11* sweatiest joined #java
16:32:17fizzieI admit I've written `x != null` where I actually (atypically) meant `x == null`, I guess it might have been harder to accidentally mix up `Objects.nonNull(x)` and `Objects.isNull(x)`.

19:37:41jbosmansi still always write .filter(o -> o != null)
19:38:20jbosmansand very often same for other method refs
19:38:37jbosmanssubjective an opinion as ever
19:53:51dreamrealnot sure it matters if it works
20:40:36dmlloydif you use Objects::isNull instead of o -> o != null, it theoretically could create fewer lambda instances
