25 years ago, on 13 September 2000, #MacOSX Public Beta was released at Apple Expo Paris. The "operating system for the next 15 years" is now 25 years old. What an amazing engineering feat to evolve such large software (operating) system over such a long time!

Kudos to the engineers at #Apple

You might find my blog post on annotations helpful: mostlynerdless.de/blog/2024/06...

Wait you can place Java annotations there? - Mostly nerdless

"java.lang. @Nullable Integer @Nullable [] arr @Nullable []" is valid Java, but why? Learn more about the placement of Java annotations here.
