The preferred way to install and manage Java JDKs on Linux
- Java is already installed on some Linux distros by default, but usually just the JRE is installed and not the JDK.
- To verify if Java is installed, the 'java' command can be checked, and if JDK isn't installed, the 'javac' command won't be found.
- Fedora stores JREs/JDKs within /usr/lib/jvm. Look into its contents or query the available Java version installed in your system.
- To install OpenJDK, you can use Fedora's package manager 'dnf'. Use 'dnf search jdk' to get a list of available Java versions and package variants.
- To install the full JDK with all the necessary tools for Java development, you need the development variant of the package. It usually contains the '-devel' term suffix in the name for dnf.
- Oracle JDK can be installed by visiting the official Oracle SE Downloads page and downloading the appropriate package for your platform. It can be installed by double-clicking on the downloaded file and selecting Install.
- It is possible to work with multiple Java installations on Linux, and the 'update-alternatives' command manages the symbolic links comprising the alternatives system.
- To switch among available alternatives of a command, use 'sudo update-alternatives --config' followed by the command name.
- The 'JAVA_HOME' environment variable can be set to the JDK folder path, and the binaries within 'JAVA_HOME' like 'java' and 'javac' can be added to PATH.
- Manually setting the configuration through your shell profile should not be needed if you use the update-alternatives method to manage Java installations.

- Relying on AI tools to craft persuasive arguments makes us less convincing.
- An essay is a tool for building an argument in the first place.

A good design is a good essay.
- UX professionals need to develop a persuasive argument at the core of how they create value.
- To frame and solve wicked problems, designers need to identify an issue, articulate their position and support it with argument.
- The value of UX lies in persuading stakeholders to do something different than what they were going to do.
- Even when defining how a product will behave, rather than discovering why, designers need to convince stakeholders.
- Designers shifting the burden of crafting persuasive arguments onto AI tools are making themselves less and less convincing.
- Designers need to adopt a deliberate approach to the design as an essay for a persuasive argument in its purest form.
- The axis between two distant data points becomes the structure around which everything else falls logically into place.
- An LLM cannot draw the inferences that discover interesting arguments or make them compelling, just shortens the content fed into it.
- Skills to persuasively articulate are always a worthwhile investment in the design of persuasive arguments.
- Designers hoping to break out of merely validating stakeholder biases need to reach beyond STEM and start designing arguments.

State of the design job market 2024
- Chris Abad, former Director of UX at Google shared guest post that provides in-depth breakdown on the current state of design job market.
- The job market in 2024 will bring unprecedented scrutiny and challenges for designers due to layoffs, shutdowns, and AI replacing human designers.
- According to the data sourced from more than 640,000 design professionals’ job changes since 2019, specific UX roles have significant growth, while others experience a decline.
- Big tech companies like Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft are hiring designers, often bringing in talent from each other.
- UX Design, Design Strategy, and Conversation Design roles have seen a relative growth of 29.2%, 5.6%, and 8.2%, respectively since 2019.
- However, UX Engineer roles have decreased by -13.7% relative to 2019 levels.
- The competition for UX design roles is intense. Many designers are vying for the same positions, making it harder to get a job in this field.
- Designers from big tech companies are not just moving between tech giants but also exploring opportunities in startups and other industries.
- The data reveals that designers are taking longer to land their next position, and the percentage of designers to find a new job within three months of leaving their previous position dropped from 67.9% in 2019 to 49.5% in 2024.
- Designers can focus on high-growth areas and emerging methodologies in demand, refine their portfolio and upskill themselves to gear up for the current job market's challenges.

Five proven prompt engineering techniques (and a few more-advanced tactics)
- Prompt engineering is the art of crafting instructions for large language models (LLMs) to generate the exact output you want.
- Crafting good prompts is crucial to leveraging AI (as opposed to using it as a novelty tool) and requires a nuanced approach and some experimentation.
- Role-playing prompts instruct LLMs to assume the perspective and style of a particular expert, celebrity, or character.
- Style unbundling involves breaking down the distinguishing elements of a person's style or skill set and prompting the AI to create new content that adheres to those elements.
- Emotion prompting entails adding emotional stakes to your request, which can result in more thoughtful, empathetic responses from the AI.
- Few-shot learning involves providing LLMs with a few examples of a task before asking it to perform a similar task.
- Synthetic bootstrap generates multiple examples based on inputs that can be used to bootstrap the learning process for subsequent prompts.
- Advanced tactics involve breaking tasks into multiple steps or employing an AI monitoring system to correct AI errors.
- Prompt engineering requires giving direction to an LLM so that it generates the exact content required for a task.
- By using role-playing, style unbundling, emotion prompting, few-shot learning, and synthetic bootstrap, AI users can achieve more accurate and relevant results.
