The thing is, naked scope blocks are missing the main reason I'd use a nested function: the ability to be named. I do occasionally use scope blocks when I want to constrain the scope of one or more local variables, and there isn't

Situations like this are exactly where nested functions can be helpful. I've always thought that it was a shame that C didn't have them. Sometimes I almost wish that Algol flavored languages like Pascal anf Modula 2 would have won

I've heard this reasoning (that 80 col terms are directly due to the 80 cols on a punched card), but never any proof. Frankly, it sounds like numerology, to me. "Hey! Both these numbers are 80, and they describe closely related di

To be clear, are you referring to security bugs in the Java standard library (written almost completely in Java), or those in the JVM itself or the browser plugins (written almost entirely in C++), or in Java code bases? The vast majority o

Oops, meant to reply to the sibling comment confusing the TLAs with web domain definitions.

If that's the dialog I think it is, there should be a cancel button that would then roll back the update. Takes a good long while, and is BS of course, but would land you back where you were. Of course, they seem to be iterating on the

In most cases the website has little to no direct control of the ad content. The evaluation would need to extend to the ad networks, as well.

One option would be a Java WebStart application. You could reuse virtually all of your code.

Not my experience at all. I find IDEA to be more responsive that Eclipse, both on Windows and Linux. Not by a whole lot, but noticeably so. Even recent NetBeans releases are just as responsive, in my experience, as recent Eclipse versions.

CLion and AppCode are the exceptions to that rule currently, though I wouldn't be surprised to see the CLion functionality get folded back in to IDEA eventually.

RoboVM might have been an option, in that case. Not ideal, but perhaps workable.

Actually, AMD/ATI spun off their fab into a separate business. Makes sense, really. Lets them more easily fab their chips where it makes sense, while still giving them fallback for safety.

128k?! Heh. Heh heh. As if. Try less than 16k. Less than 8k in may cases. Certainly well less than 64k. Oh, and it was an absolute blast fitting code into that space. In fact, my first computer of my very own was a 1802 based single board

Any "modern software engineer" that wouldn't have plenty of usable and employable skills back then should perhaps take a good long look in the mirror; do they really see a "software engineer" looking back? Perhaps c

The closest analog to the Christian God in Tolkien's mythology would be Eru Ilúvatar, I think.

My RAV4 and my wife's Outback both have backup cameras, and the display is inset in the rear view mirror. A much better system, IMHO, and doesn't mandate a nav system style screen.

While I agree the damn Ask Toolbar thing is abhorrent, you could just check the "Suppress sponsor offers when installing or updating Java" box at the bottom of the Advanced tab in the Java control panel. I know ... I'm surpri
