Trams and buses tend to be more unreliable because they use the same streets as cars (sometimes they get extra lanes, but not always). Metros tend to be more reliable in my experience, I can usually trust what it says on the electronic sign

Another problem with (especially older versions of) Java is that the language was so restrictive that many of the popular frameworks rely on reflection and/or bytecode manipulation and these things can and do break frequently across JD

One of the main reasons for me is that incremental compilation is essentially broken on maven, which may matter on large enough projects and if you keep waiting for CI builds. That, and the fact that anything slightly out of the ordinary th

The thing about gradle is that you need to understand its model first (especially that you're describing build steps, not executing them directly). After you do that, it's not that hard anymore, but I agree that it would be bett

Even if you care about "the health of the ecosystem", a little bit of competition can help. If I'm not mistaken, the maven wrapper was a direct response to gradle introducing this feature first, for example, so the existence

Build tools are complex because builds are complex. Of course, if you create a bespoke tool for your specific use case and then a bunch of other people use it but it doesn't really gain widespread adoption, you can keep stuff simple. I

Maven and Gradle are entirely version controllable too. I also don't understand how your comment isn't in direct contradiction to the link you posted (which is from 2013!). At any rate, that there is no innovation in Gradle respec

Never said one shouldn't learn new things. Just that it's unreasonable to expect that "every educated person knows X" - because time is finite.

Your problem is that, instead of encouraging people to learn, you're just dismissing people who don't know one very specific historical fact as "uneducated". People in Europe generally know that America is a democracy

do you remember the decade of the Treaty of Westfalia? Because if you live in central Europe, that's at least as important as the American Revolution.

Of course, we learn about the American Revolution in schools, but people aren't going to remember every date they were taught in schools. The founding of Rome or the Punic Wars are also hugely important for today's world, but not

Of course, they are important, but so are many other things - and speaking e.g. from a European POV, a lot of other events are simply much more salient and commonplace - and the same is probably even more true for other continents (would a

C is a plane with multiplication . I would say, the fact that there is even a way of making this work is surprising (it doesn't work for any R^n, n > 2, at least not if you want a field). The particular way how we multiply complex
