![]() ![]() The existing model, which was considered more favorable and which we will miss, was quite similar to the heavily criticized Akka license change last year, also introducing per-processor fees. After all, the licensing model assumed a fee for each processor and each workstation on which the JDK was installed. It should also be remembered that it’s not as if the Oracle JDK has been free until now. ![]() Since the number of companies using Oracle solutions is falling, and the cost of Java development remains constant, the obvious (albeit painful) solution turns out to be to raise prices to make the whole business viable. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that we are in a self-reinforcing spiral here – so let’s play devil’s advocate first. This is how the report breaks down the use of each Vendor I suspect, moreover, that recent pricing changes will only accelerate this drain. It shows that the popularity of Oracle JDKs has been declining strongly penultimate years (75% in 2020 to 35% in 2022), so if the trend continues, by early 2023 we’ll be talking about even lower numbers. I’ve been trying to estimate what the use of individual JDKs looks like today, and I managed to dig into the State of the Java Ecosystem report published by New Relic. For many (most?) companies using Oracle JDK, this will mean a massive increase in costs, since the calculation takes into account not only programmers but all employees of the company – including those outside the IT department, as well as contractors. Instead of being based on workstations and processors, the new pricing will be calculated on the number of employees a company employs: for those up to 1,000 employees, fees will be $15 employee/month, and for larger ones, it will be $5.25 employee/month. Let’s start with the facts: On January 23, Oracle announced that it is changing the Oracle JDK licensing model to Java SE Universal Subscription. The last time I saw anything JVM-related on top of /r/programming it was Log4Shell. ![]()

Though not strong, it has powerful mental abilities along with a high Dexterity and very high Constitution, protecting it against all of the “big three” types of saving throws. It has little purpose in life beyond guarding its chosen turf. The beholder is an aberration-a magically summoned creature of extraplanar origin-with a hateful, avaricious and territorial temperament. Why do I mention this? Because the beholder is such an iconic D&D monster that our host-who knew hardly anything about the game before we began playing-told me near the beginning of our campaign, “All I want is to run into an ‘eye of the beholder,’ and I’ll be happy.” Our current Dungeons and Dragons group got together after one of my wife’s coworkers cattily referred to a client as “someone who looks like he’d play Dungeons and Dragons in his mom’s basement,” and another of them retorted, “I would totally play Dungeons and Dragons.” He ended up being the host of our weekly sessions. ![]() ![]() Although new trends in jewelry are constantly emerging, the glamour and beauty of the past continue to inform modern styles and designs. In modern times, the free-spirited hippie and counterculture movements of the 1960s saw costume-jewelry designers celebrating self-expression through colorful multistrand necklaces and no shortage of beads, which were worn by anyone and everyone.Įven after all of these years, the necklace remains an irrefutable staple of any complete outfit. In fact, just as women rarely took to wearing a single necklace during the Renaissance, men of the era layered chains and valuable pendants atop their bejeweled clothing. Kim works exclusively with eco-friendly gold, and these fashionable, fun accessories owe to the design of 19th-century watch fobs.įor some, necklaces are thought of as being a solely feminine piece, but this widely loved accessory has been gender-neutral for eons. ![]() Today, wearing jewelry is about personal expression: Luxury diamond necklaces exude confidence and can symbolize the celebratory nature of a deep romantic relationship, while paper-clip chain-link necklaces designed by the likes of goldsmith Faye Kim are firmly planted in the past as well as the present. In ancient times, pendant necklaces worn by royalty and nobles conferred wealth and prestige. Lapis lazuli beads adorned necklaces unearthed from the royal graves at the ancient Iraqi civilization of Sumer, while the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber revealed a sense of style that led to a frenzy of Art Deco designs, with artisans of the 1920s seeking to emulate the elegant work crafted by Ancient Egypt’s goldsmiths and jewelry makers. We are fortunate to know much of the world’s long and dazzling history of necklaces, as this type of jewelry was so treasured that it was frequently buried with its owners. There aren’t many items for men if you’re seeking a gold fish pendant, as most of the options available are for women and unisex.

Old Anvils Do Not Retain The Skills Of Their Previous Owners Our community has few problems considering many hundreds of pounds an acceptable price for an oscilloscope or a laptop computer, an anvil should be considered in the same light but with the added bonus of far less depreciation. If you’re considering any anvil, always go for the best you can afford as it will very likely serve you for the rest of your life and your offspring for their lives too if you are lucky enough to be able to pass it on. Any anvil is better than no anvil, but I would always counsel the buyer to consider why a new anvil might be cheap, and whether it might be a very low quality piece of cast iron and a poor purchase decision. It can be tempting to go for a much cheaper alternative that you might see from a mass-market tool retailer, for example. Where do you find an anvil? Obviously a blacksmith supply company will happily sell you a good-quality new one for a suitably hefty price. Ideally something a bit larger should be in your sights, perhaps something like the 50 kg (110 lbs) anvil my dad used for portable work. You will see plenty of small bench-top anvils, these are too small for all but the lightest of this kind of work. It is possible to excessively wear or even break an anvil by using more force than it can take, thus it is important to use an anvil of appropriate size for the hammering to which you will subject it. The RevSpace anvil is significantly different in shape to the British anvils I am used to, I was told that it follows the German pattern.Īs a youngster growing up around a forge, the first thing I learned is that the face of the anvil must be treated with care and only used for hammering of hot metal, never for drilling or the use of a punch except when over the pritchel hole. Compare the note and feel of a hammer blow to a good anvil with that of hitting a piece of cast iron such as a scrap engine block, or hitting a piece of steel, and what you will learn will help you judge the quality of any anvil you consider. It’s a good indication of the quality of a surface for use as an anvil, and it’s one you can readily appreciate if you test a few surfaces. This is something that you will understand from experience once you have tried it, but on the ideal anvil there would be a ring sound and the hammer would rebound as though bouncing. There is a “feel” to a good quality anvil, if you strike it with a hammer. You will sometimes see anvils with different shapes, perhaps with protrusions on their sides or with a horn at each end, these will either be of an overseas pattern or designed for a specific task such as shoeing horses. In the face towards the heel are usually two holes, a large square opening called the hardie hole which is designed as a receptacle for tooling, and a small round one called the pritchel hole which is designed as a place to use a punch or similar tool on a piece of work without damaging the face of the anvil. At one end of the face is a conical tapered point referred to as the horn which is used to form curves, and at the other is as squared-off edge referred to as the heel, which tapers away underneath towards the base of the anvil. It has a flat rectangular top surface for working metal referred to as the face which is made of hardened steel, on many anvils this can be a separate piece welded to the top of the body of the anvil. Gerald G ( CC0 1.0).Ī blacksmith’s anvil is a large block of iron, which is to say forged steel or in some much older anvils wrought iron, but sometimes and usually in cheaper anvils, cast iron. There are many minor and major variations of anvil design depending upon where in the world your anvil hails from, but since my experience comes from the English counties, the anvil I will be describing is the pattern you’ll find in the British Isles. This has the function of providing a high-mass hardened working surface against which metal can be forged, and it has a distinctive shape with various parts for particular metalworking tasks. Having considered the hearth in our previous outing, it’s time to turn our attention to what is the signature piece of blacksmithing equipment: the anvil. The Most Obvious Blacksmithing Tool: The Anvil This is the second part of a series based upon that experience, exploring blacksmithing for people who have maybe always fancied a go at the anvil but have little idea where to start. ![]() My dad is a blacksmith, he’s now retired, but as I was growing up his very active forge was in a workshop next to our house.
