This 1996 book by Dudney and Krawczyk provides practical guidance on using JavaServer Pages (JSP) for web application development, covering design patterns, syntax, and real-world implementation techniques for building dynamic web content.
Background
- Published in 1996, this book covers JavaServer Pages (JSP), a server-side technology that lets developers embed Java code inside HTML pages to generate dynamic web content. JSP was a direct competitor to Microsoft's ASP (Active Server Pages) and would later be superseded by frameworks like JavaServer Faces (JSF).
- At the time of the book's release, the commercial Web was still young: Amazon had been public for less than a year, Google didn't exist, and most websites served static HTML. JSP promised a simpler, cross-platform alternative to CGI scripts (the dominant way to make dynamic sites in the mid-1990s).
- The author, Doug Dudman, wrote for a niche audience of mid-1990s programmers moving from desktop applications to the early Web — a transition that defined the dot-com boom.
Max Weinbach says he had early access to OpenAI's new model GPT-5.6 Sol, calling it his favorite model by far. He highlights that it never gives up and will keep reasoning until it's done. OpenAI announced that GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly on Thursday, with preview access expanding globally now.
The US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for all customers, citing a potential jailbreak technique that involved asking the model to review a codebase for vulnerabilities—a capability Anthropic says is available in other public models. Access was abruptly cut off on June 12.
Andrej Karpathy announces the release of Claude Fable 5, the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. He calls it a major step forward, particularly for long problem-solving sessions on difficult tasks, and describes it as state-of-the-art on nearly all benchmarks with exceptional performance in software engineering, research, and vision.
Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.
Meta's engineering culture is deteriorating under Mark Zuckerberg and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who have introduced keyboard tracking, reassignments to data labeling, and AI-centric performance metrics. Critics argue this incentivizes performative AI use, drives away experienced engineers, and contributed to a major Instagram hijacking incident caused by AI-written and AI-reviewed code.
