Yes, slide 48 is not fair, as you can't get the answer from looking at it.
The answer is Unicode character, \u001d, which ia a soft hyphen (slide 49).
This works fine for me in IntelliJ.

That's great for us UNIX officianados, but seriously, not having a way to hide all file extensions is horrible UI design.
Even worse is you *can* do it, but on a file-by-file basis!!!
Additionally, one of the fields in Finder is 'Kind', which indicates the exact type of file it is.

That would be great, except...
It doesn't work for me.
The keyboard shortcut does nothing, and as you can see, no coloured dot in the menu.
I'm running Sonoma 14.6 and Notes v4.11

Good question.
I suspect the answer is we didn't.
Remember that when Java was first launched, its primary application was adding interactivity in the browser (unlikely to use local database access).
JDK 1.1, which included JDBC, was launched in Feb 1997, at which point database access became easy. 😀
