I am still fairly early in my career. I've worked mostly in Java, but my current job is a mix of Python for E2E testing, PHP and JS for application work. Go is my preferred language for tools. My favorite language is by far Java with G

My own understanding of the comment: They're making a connection between non-jumping code with a list, and jumping code, like classes, functions, etc. with a graph. A list can be iterated from beginning to end and read in sequence, or

Perhaps this is why Democrats lose. They are still playing a game where decorum and rules matter. I have no question that Republicans would not care for such pesky parliamentary rules when they inconvenience them. Perhaps you would prefer a

Oh thanks I'll have to give that a shot! It may also just be that I need to not get so caught up in learning a new way to do something.

I don't know if it's the way cloud watch works in my current company or what, but I preferred SSH into the server and grep for what I want lol. I miss that I can't do that any longer

"How to Prove It" was my textbook in my Abstract Algebra class. Absolutely loved it.

It's quite simple to understand. An individual has a much greater control over their diet and activity than they do over the multifaceted forces that have lead to the current food situation in the West.

Lockdowns are a stop-gap until a vaccine can be found and applied. It would be logistically infeasible to stop spread with lockdowns alone.

Think of the simplest thing you want to solve and then go full throttle on it. For myself, I have been keeping track of my weight. I just have a notepad on my desk where I log my weight every morning. Simple, convenient, easy. So I decided

Not the commenter: I presume it would have to be because there is no guarantee that the JVM will be installed and configured exactly correctly on all of those machines a priori. Jlink helps solve that problem if you have a properly modulari

We must be careful to not conflate our distaste of highly abstract OOP code with generics. Generics and OOP are orthogonal. If you've used a map or a slice in Go, you've used generics. If you've used a union in C, you (sort o

JavaFX is your answer. Download the latest JDK, use Gradle or Maven as your build tool, make sure you properly use modules and you're golden. No need to ship JREs (that concept doesn't exist any more). Furthermore, you can create

Bilbao is one of those cities I would love to live in. Pre-Pandemic, I spent a considerable amount of brain power trying to figure out how I can migrate.

I'm with you. I think there's enough evidence that skyscrapers aren't a good energy/density optimum; skyscrapers are relatively rare outside of North America. Very high, sustainable densities can be achieved with 4--6 st

Oh neat. I erroneously thought it might have come in part with the http module in 11.

If you have Java 11+ I presume you can't get any simpler than a standard library module: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/jdk.https...

Hey there, just thought I'd let you know. I'm getting a 404 when I try to go the bitbucket repo in the video. Otherwise, enjoyed your talk :)

I'm not the original poster so you should wait for their reply, hah! They may have meant something else. This is just a topic I've spent some time thinking on and wanted to share my own $0.02. My go-to language for personal projec

The default scope of everything is package level. If one writes all of their code in one directory, Java is basically procedural code with syntactic sugar for functions with structs as the first parameter. The moment you want to share with

That's a bit of a stretch using the word 'return' there. Forgive my exactness, but return implies, well, returning a value from a function. I'd say that Java has similar semantics to C. One can easily pass object referen

Java 17 is getting pretty good about this. Records in particular are great.

I have such a weird relationship with checked exceptions in Java. I like checked exceptions because it makes exceptions part of the API. However, much of the time it's super intrusive and try-catch can be clunky. At this point I'm

I wonder to what extent these problems have to do with OOP being poorly defined vs poorly understood vs poorly implemented.

I've been using DDG for what seems like forever now and have no problems with searching for things. Perhaps I just don't search for much, though since I tend to visit sites that have what I want and search within those sites.
