Mapping enums the right way

Legacy databases still use numeric status codes. With Quarkus 3 and Hibernate 7, you can finally drop those boilerplate converters.

Here’s a hands-on guide to clean, type-safe enum mapping — including the new @EnumeratedValue feature from Jakarta Persistence 3.2.

Bon, Masto, je te sens un peu tendu ce soir alors je vais te raconter une anecdote que j’ai appris ce matin.

En 1955, mon arrière-grand-mère lit, à sa publication, Lolita.
Elle trouve le roman très bien écrit mais qu’il serait inconvenant que ma mère ou ses sœurs (9, 11 et 13 ans à l’époque) tombassent sur ce texte sulfureux.

Il convenait de s’en débarrasser, mais dignement.

Profitant d’un voyage à Florence avec son mari, elle suicida le roman dans l’Arno, du haut du Ponte Vecchio.

18 Cities with uninspired tallest buildings

Listed below are 18 American cities whose tallest buildings are less than inspiring nor particularly appealing visually. In many cases it appears that function (or budgetary considerations) overruled form as the lack of of panache, style, adornments, and interesting architectural features have made these buildings rather bland. It seems to this author that if you are going to the effort to construct the tallest building in a city, it ought to have some personality and visual appeal that enhances pride in the community.

When comparing the Rhodes State Office Tower in Columbus, Ohio to its surrounding counterparts, it is quite apparent that the Rhodes Tower is boxy and lacks charm. This is especially evident when viewing it in comparison to the city’s prior tallest building, the stunningly gorgeous LeVeque Tower.

What may be the most disappointing is the example from Charleston, South Carolina. This is not because the building is worse than the others, but due to the fact that it seems out-of-sync with the historic colonial integrity of that charming city.

Sixteen of the 19 towers (there is one tie) identified below were built between the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s. That may say something about the styles employed during that two-decade period or that budgetary considerations outweighed style. Hopefully, if and when some of these towers are refurbished, the work can include adding some features that make them visually more appealing.

Peace!

The Donald Hires Collections Agency to Pursue Mexico’s Border Wall Payment

WASHINGTON — Once and future President Donald Drumpf, never one to abandon a campaign promise, has taken an unconventional step to secure funding for his long-touted border wall: hiring a collections agency. The move comes after his oft-repeated claims that Mexico would foot the bill for the controversial project, a promise that, much like Trump’s original steaks, never fully materialized.

Sources close to the former president say he’s contracted “Four Seasons Collections, Inc.,” a company specializing in retrieving debts that may or may not exist. A press release from Drumpf’s Mar-a-Lago office described the effort as “a tremendous idea—the best idea—to get what’s owed to America.”

“They said it couldn’t be done, but we’re doing it,” Drumpf said in a recorded statement, his voice resonating with the same defiance that defined his time in office. “We’re going to call them, email them, send postcards, maybe even knock on doors. Mexico owes us big and we’re getting every penny. All of them.”

An Invoice With Flair

The first step in the collection effort was a formal invoice sent to Andrés Manuel López Obrador care of the Mexican government. The document, written on gold-embossed Drumpf Organization letterhead, itemizes the wall’s alleged $15 billion cost and includes a handwritten note in Sharpie reading, “Make checks payable to Donald J. Trump. You’re welcome.”

López Obrador was reportedly baffled by the invoice, having left office in September 2024 after the election of Claudia Sheinbaum. In a press conference, he laughed and said, “We thought this was spam at first. Then a joke. Honestly, it’s very funny. Maybe we’ll frame it.”

Persistent Tactics

Once the error was realized, Four Seasons Collections promised an “aggressive yet classy” approach, including weekly calls to Mexico’s Finance Ministry. Their scripts reportedly include lines like, “This is not a scam. This is history in the making.”

Additionally, Drumpf’s team has started crowdfunding efforts in border states, selling wall-shaped piggy banks online. “Fill it up, and you’ll be part of something huuuge,” reads the product description. Early sales numbers are reportedly “disappointing but not zero,” according to a Four Seasons spokesperson.

Legal Challenges Loom

Experts have already begun questioning the legality of this endeavour. “There’s no enforceable contract here,” said constitutional lawyer Elena Barrister. “You can’t just send someone a bill for something they didn’t agree to pay for. That’s not how international relations work.”

When pressed on this point, Drumpf responded via Truth Social: “FAKE NEWS LAWYERS don’t get it. Mexico KNOWS they owe us. Everyone knows. It’s called common sense. Sad!”

Mexico’s Response

For their part, Mexican officials have maintained a lighthearted stance. Sheinbaum’s foreign secretary joked on XTwitter, “If he really wants payment, he’ll have to collect it in pesos. Good luck with the exchange rate.”

A Never-Ending Quest

While many dismiss this latest move as a publicity stunt, Drumpf’s supporters see it as proof of his determination. “He’s a fighter,” said Gloria F. Smalls, a Florida retiree and avid MAGA hat collector. “If anyone can make Mexico pay, it’s him.”

For now, the border wall debt remains unpaid. But if Drumpf’s collections strategy fails, insiders suggest he may pivot to suing Mexico in small claims court. As one former aide put it, “He’s not giving up. He’s just getting started.”

Idiot Elected to Run Country to Appoint Other Idiots to Help Run Country

WASHINGTON — In what critics have dubbed the “Council of Contradictions,” President-elect Drumpf’s latest proposed cabinet appointments have raised eyebrows, questions, and the blood pressure of anyone who has ever managed so much as a lemonade stand.

Among the standout selections is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vocal vaccine skeptic, tapped to lead Health and Human Services—a department traditionally rooted in science. “No one knows more about being against vaccines than Bobby,” the Spraytan Sultan remarked. “He’s practically allergic to them!”

Over at the newly-minted Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk will take the reins. Musk, whose stint as Twitter CEO was marked by public meltdowns and plummeting revenue, promised to “disrupt” bureaucracy. “Government needs bold thinking,” Musk tweeted, “like flamethrowers in every office. Efficiency = 🔥🚀.”

Leading the Environmental Protection Agency is Lee Zeldin, a staunch supporter of energy deregulation. Zeldin assured reporters that he would “protect the environment from overreach” while vowing to replace solar farms with “cleaner coal fields.”

And to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services? None other than Mehmet Oz, famed for peddling questionable medical cures on daytime TV. “I’ll bring medicine to the masses,” Oz said, holding a jar of his proprietary “miracle beans.”

Critics fear this team might struggle to govern effectively, but Cheddarhead Caesar remains optimistic. “They said I couldn’t pick ‘em,” he said. “Well, I proved them wrong!”

“This team represents the best of the worst,” said one bewildered political analyst, noting that several nominees have resumes that include “Twitter feuds” and “once owned a gas station.”

When pressed, Drumpf defended his picks: “These are tremendous people—tremendous. They have the best ideas. Some say too many ideas. We’ll be number one in ideas.”

Meanwhile, the rest of the nation braces for what might be the most “interesting” four years in U.S. history.

Local Boy Found Home Alone, Channeling ’90s Movie Spirit

OAKVILLE, Ontario — In a scene straight out of a classic ’90s holiday movie, eight-year-old Kevin McAllister was found home alone on Thursday morning, after his family inadvertently left him behind during a chaotic rush to catch their flight for a vacation in the Caribbean. Authorities are still piecing together how young Kevin managed to defend his suburban home from two inept would-be burglars.

Oakville police received a call from a concerned neighbor, Linda Thompson, who noticed unusual activity at the McAllister residence. “I saw Kevin running around, setting up what looked like traps,” she said. “It was like watching ‘Home Alone’ in real life.”

Upon investigation, officers found the boy safe but surrounded by an impressive array of booby traps, including strategically placed marbles, a heated doorknob, and even a swinging paint can. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Officer Mark Taylor. “This kid had the whole place rigged. It was both impressive and mildly terrifying.”

Kevin’s parents, Peter and Kate McAllister, were already mid-flight when they realized their youngest son was not with them. “We were in the air, and I had this sudden, awful feeling,” said Kate. “I turned to Peter and screamed, ‘KEVIN!’ It was like a scene out of a nightmare.”

After landing, the frantic parents immediately contacted Oakville authorities. “We couldn’t believe it,” said Peter McAllister. “We had so many people, and everyone thought someone else had Kevin. It was an honest mistake, but thank God he’s okay.”

In a twist worthy of Hollywood, the two would-be burglars, identified as Harry Lime and Marv Murchins, were apprehended at the scene, suffering minor injuries from the homemade traps. “It was like walking through a minefield,” said Lime, nursing a bruised shin. “We thought it was an easy score. Turns out the kid’s a genius.”

Marv Murchins, sporting a bandaged head, echoed his partner’s sentiments. “It was humiliating,” he said. “I mean, who expects a kid to defend his house like that? We didn’t stand a chance.”

The incident has drawn a wave of media attention and comparisons to the 1990 film “Home Alone.” Local residents are both amused and alarmed. “It’s amazing what he did, but it’s also a reminder for all of us to check twice before leaving for vacation,” said neighbor Tom Jenkins.

Kevin, for his part, seemed unfazed by the ordeal. “I just did what I saw in the movie,” he said with a grin. “It was kinda fun, actually. But I’m glad my family’s coming back.”

The McAllisters are now back together, grateful for their son’s resourcefulness and the support of their community. “We’re just happy he’s safe,” said Kate. “And we’ve learned our lesson—Kevin is not being left behind ever again.”

As for Harry and Marv, they are now facing charges of attempted burglary and might consider a new line of work after their brush with the crafty young McAllister. “We’re done with houses,” said Harry. “Maybe we’ll stick to small-time stuff, like stealing candy from babies. That’s probably safer.”

NEW YORK — FOX News, the renowned bastion of conservative viewpoints, unintentionally met their “fair and balance” reporting standard after what insiders are calling a “clerical error” left the network’s usual spin machine temporarily malfunctioning.

The incident occurred when an intern, who shall remain anonymous for their own safety, accidentally uploaded a series of news segments without the usual injection of partisan rhetoric. This resulted in an unintended consequence: honest, impartial information.

“We were just as surprised as anyone,” said FOX Corporation founder Rupert Murdoch. “We pride ourselves on our ability to shape the news to fit our perception, and this was an unexpected lapse into objectivity. We hope not to repeat it.”

Viewers accustomed to the network’s signature blend of fear-mongering and cherry-picked facts were left baffled by the sudden outbreak of journalistic integrity.

“I turned on FOX expecting to hear about how the liberal agenda is destroying America,” said Mildred Smith, a retired schoolteacher and avid FOX News viewer. “But instead, they were presenting multiple viewpoints and fact-checked stories. It was… disorienting.”

Conservative commentators, who rely on FOX News to reinforce their worldview, were equally bewildered by the network’s accidental commitment to journalistic standards.

“I nearly spilled my latte when I saw Shepard Smith politely but firmly questioning the administration’s policies,” said Chad Thunderhawk, host of the popular podcast “The Truth (As We See It).” “I mean, what happened to blindly toeing the party line with unhinged fury?”

The incident has sparked speculation among media analysts about the possibility of FOX News permanently adopting fair and balanced reporting. However, network executives were quick to dismiss such rumors.

“We apologize for any confusion caused by this regrettable oversight,” said Murdoch. “Rest assured, we are taking steps to ensure that such an egregious display of journalistic integrity never happens again.”
