Hi All, I've seen instances over time where the scale of timeouts is confusing, where some timeouts are expressed in milliseconds, others in seconds, sometimes as an int, sometimes as a long.
I encourage all of us to use the Java 8 class Duration to avoid problems stemming from this in new APIs. IMO. there is no doubt as to what Duration.ofSeconds(2) means, as opposed to the literal "2" or "2000" and a method like "setTimeout()" which does not include a scale name in its name. I'll be updating VFS to this effect. Once Net 3.8.0 is out (soon), I would like to make Net 3.9.0 depend on Java 8 and add Duration APIs for its timeouts. An example of scale mismatch (with distance): https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/mars-climate-orbiter/in-depth/ Gary
