This isn't right. Think about putting locks on doors. Everyone is going to put a lock on their external doors and not on the interior doors in their residences (except for the special sort of "lock" on bathroom doors) but may

So if you are making any kind of reusable design, you cannot annotate your classes with @Bean anymore. Instead you will make an @Configuration (like spring boot auto configuration) that by discretion may pull in some more general (not @Conf

The final keyword is one of those places where Java shows its age to me. I agree with the overall point that inheritance is flawed, but I cannot bring myself to conclude that the use of final is the answer to the problem. Simple example, St

Freedom is precisely freedom from consequences. Consider the prototypical privilege of driving an automobile. You are not free to drive (without a license) precisely because there are consequence if you get caught doing so. If you exclude c

Why should the ubiquity of a particular hardware design dictate that you diverge from the canonical representation of a number? If we were laying out digits and not bytes, everyone would find it bizarre to lay it out little endian, we all k

It is an API that you program against when you want to build a client for that API. That client is a browser, the most famous of which are Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, etc. The HATEOAS constraint is what allows the actual form of (

So it starts from the generic untyped lambda calculus and then shows that it is possible to reach erroneous states: so far so much like any dynamically typed language (so javascript, lua, python). Bear in mind javascript is also quite weakl

If you are working in ordinary Euclidean space with orthonormal bases, it doesn't do much for you. When you start doing calculus on embedded surfaces (the beginning of differential manifolds) it begins to be more helpful. Since Lie alg

For those who are interested, this sort of algebra would be known as the [Grassman algebra or the exterior algebra]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_algebra ). It becomes much more interesting if you use non-ortho

People in certain situations require anonymity for privacy. Anonymity is a tool of privacy, not always necessary but certainly necessary in some circumstances. Privacy is choosing who knows what about you. Anonymity is a tool to do things i

No, he is making the useful observation that the GIL has an impact on system architecture. That is why typically python webservers run in multiprocess mode but Java (for example) webservers typically runs in threaded mode.

This is perhaps the most difficult aspect about discussions involving the GIL, the level of nitpicking while ignoring the actual point when someone feels that python is being slighted. > you can choose to do it that way, but there is no

It's really a shame you are getting down voted. You are basically just saying, "Sometimes shared memory model makes a more efficient and simpler solution over enforced actor model. Like in this case." This shouldn't be c

I like the idea. I have a sort of feature request premised on the assumption you end up having weights attached to the index to determine the priority of output. Could you make these weights exportable? In that way, you could have curated c

No, there is no tuple support yet in Java. That would require something like variadic generics or a special compile time syntax sugar for tuples as the sole use of variadic generics. With the pattern matching the best you are going to get i

That's not how the math works out, it isn't linear. The distance it takes to stop anything is dominated by a term quadratic in the velocity. Thus the average safe traffic density decreases with the velocity like v^-2. Since the th

As I said, it is a historical argument to argue why something was designed in a particular way. You do not seem at all interested in attempting a historical argument. You aren't going to convince me without offering something in the wa

Yes, I am well aware of what it is doing and we won't really make any progress until you can believe that I know the language. We are disagreeing about the intent and rationale of its addition. Everytime someone tries to interact with

Except that LOC doesn't take an offset and pointer arithmetic in fortran isn't guranteed to be safe. No practitioner that I ever worked with ever used them besides. I mean you could have simply argued that malloc existed. Anyways,

I really don't understand why you're arguing with my explanation. I'm not attacking fortran, I'm explaining why it will feel old to people: because it has things in it that people moved on from. Heck, I'd even agree

People will joke about the primitiveness of Fortran as long as they are required to preface every module and program with `implicit none`. Also, every time they pick up lapack and need to specify the "leading dimension of A" they

Controlled experiments are very rare if you are talking about gravity, since the force is so weak. Observational experiments (astronomy) is where most of the evidence comes from. The most obvious inclusion of it for me is the radiative (als
