Why Java 8 is a Ticking Time Bomb Hiding Within Your Organization
When I spoke to developers at Devoxx in Belgium in October, I was surprised to learn how many of them are maintaining systems that are still running on Java 8 (released in 2014). One of them even still has a Java 5 application in production, with a runtime of 20 years old!

Deep dive into bits, bytes, shorts, ints, longs, signed, and unsigned with Java
On the Pi4J discussion list, someone recently asked what the best and easiest way is in Java to convert a byte value.
