Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff is anticipating a close fight between George Russell and Kimi Antonelli in the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.
Simon Ritter joined Sun Microsystems in 1996 and spent time working in both Java development and consultancy. He's now written an opinion piece for InfoWorld warning that "Between 2029 and 2032, every currently supported long-term support (LTS) version of Java will reach end-of-support within a single three-year window."
That's Java 17 in 2029, Java 8 in 2030, Java 21 in 2031, and Java 11 in 2032...
On paper, this looks like a manageable upgrade cycle. In practice, it creates a collision of timelines that most enterprises have failed to forecast. Organizations attempting to modernize incrementally — moving application by application, version by version — are operating on a model that the calendar has already rendered obsolete... [W]hen every major Java version expires in the same compressed window, sequential planning collapses. By the time this becomes obvious, organizations will be forced into reactive mode, making rushed decisions under extreme pressure.
For organizations planning traditional stepwise upgrades — Java 8 to Java 11 to Java 17 to Java 21 — this convergence elevates a routine maintenance task into a structural crisis. Enterprises with large Java estates will be forced to upgrade multiple applications across multiple versions simultaneously to maintain security compliance and business continuity.
"Parallel modernization requires parallel capacity — something most organizations haven't budgeted for," he points out. "This explains why traditional approaches struggle to scale."

NEW YORK (ANP/RTR) - Duizenden fans zijn in New York de straat opgegaan na het behalen van de titel van de basketballers van de New York Knicks in de NBA. De viering verliep niet zonder incidenten: een bus werd in brand gestoken en een tiener raakte gewond door een schot.
Sommige fans staken vuurwerk en rookbommen af, nadat ze de wedstrijd hadden gezien in de horeca of op andere locaties. Op sommige plekken ontstonden chaotische taferelen. De politie zette enkele straten af en hield de menigte ongeveer twee uur tegen, waarna agenten ingrepen. Agenten te paard dreven de menigte terug en maakten de straten rond Madison Square Garden, de thuisbasis van de Knicks, weer vrij.
Een 17-jarige werd in de voet geschoten tijdens feestelijkheden op Times Square. Drie personen zijn opgepakt. Feestvierders klommen op of namen plaats in de bussen voor het WK voetbal. Een door de stad ingehuurde gele schoolbus werd in brand gestoken. Drie andere bussen raakten beschadigd.

Een korte fluit, een Engels commando en bordercollie Kira (6) schiet in beweging. Langs de Smeetslandsedijk in Rotterdam-IJsselmonde houdt de hond een kudde van ongeveer honderd schapen bij elkaar. Omstanders vertragen hun pas, wijzen naar de dieren of pakken hun telefoon voor een foto of video. Voorop loopt stadsherder Bregje, die erop toeziet dat de kudde stukje voor stukje het gras langs de dijk afgraast.
