"...one of the least technologically advanced country in Eastern Europe, with a paltry internet speed ranking of 41..." It's not about the "tone" or feeling "offended". It's simply uninformed. For s

I agree except for the "greater extent than is traditional". Otherwise than the statement implies, there isn't one, single, traditional attitude towards weirdos that would be shared across different civilisations. Indeed, so

That's sort of the point though, no? What's in it for them if they were to take care of Kotlin support on Eclipse - their competitor. They don't make their living off Kotlin

The integration is already very good (some little quirks notwithstanding). What are you missing in that department?

You can't escape learning Java (as of now), but it doesn't mean you can't follow it along learning Kotlin. It does not have to be one, then the other. It's just a matter of managing the cognitive load, and that's yo

You're absolutely correct - not being a native English speaker, I read "expected value" as a common phrase, not a probability theory term. Thanks

Yes it will be approaching 1, the same as for 10^24 coin tosses the number of heads would be approaching 50% (or 5*(10^23)).

They might not care that much. What difference has it made so far, after all? Maybe they settle for "stealthy enough for practical purposes".

So we need to get the question right and down to all the details - how much are we ready to sacrifice eg. (in this case) for environment sake, etc. I believe every developer has found themselves in a situation where they'd be describin

I'm on Windows 10, too, so I assume the UI shouldn't be that far off. The problem - see the link to Bugzilla I pasted - is supposedly related to the use of multiple displays (which involves different DPI settings). A small thing t

As one of these people who switched away from Firefox to Chrome a long time ago, I was curious to give it another go now that it's revamped and all. I tend to do it very year or so, but something is always wrong. Unfortunately, I quick

Does it? As a matter of fact, it's much more similar to MS Edge. With dark theme it's super close in terms of look. Rectangular, beefy tabs.

Surely the Neanderthals have been subject to the same selection pressure as homo sapiens throughout the aftermath of the Toba catastrophe nevertheless... No? Assuming the bottleneck theory is valid to begin with, this was a global ecologica

That's a rather bizarre definition, by which Greece is a ”Western" country (ex-Byzantine!), while eg. Switzerland is not.

It would seem so, but coroutines are still "experimental". I do hope it will catch up.

Kotlin is super nice. As a former C# dev who went into Android, I was really dissatisfied with Java, and Kotlin was my rescue. I had to write some C# recently, and I have to admit Kotlin does feel nicer. (Admittedly it is still lacking some

Much better in this aspect is Fargo season 3, where Varga character - played brilliantly by David Thewlis - is sort of a Mr. Hyde to the protagonist's (Emmit Stussy) Jekyll - in my interpration.

Archetypes predate Jung, that's sort of the idea. He didn't invent them, only discovered and classified them.

I'm not saying these are features provided by every modern programming language - obviously eg. there are FP languages that are not object-oriented, as you pointed out. Still, the selection of languages that do is so vast that such r

I saw plenty of homeless and deranged people every time I went to Berlin. One woman actually lived in a tent in front of a police station in Pankow (for safety).
