I have seen it happen many times. A lot of developers I've worked with do not understand the basics of a HashMap/HashSet. They just use the IDE to automatically create hashCode functions with mutable attributes or use classes crea

This is wrong. All stock prices are supply and demand. Dividends are simply taking money from one pocket, the company you own shares, and putting into another, your bank account. What matters is that the company is capable of making cash an

I don't see how your comment is anything more than FUD. The leaked information suggests it may have come from Serasa Experian [1], although they deny it, or some third-party that provides services to them. I haven't seen any evide

In Brazil, if you are under 18 and get caught for theft, robbery, or even armed robbery, you will probably be out of jail by the next day. I guess many officers think arresting someone underage is not worth the trouble, unless it is some li

Doubling the RAM, replacing the disk, or buying new batteries are all much cheaper than acquiring a new laptop. Not everybody can treat a US$1299 device as disposable. Besides, when I pay a premium price for a product I expect it to be usef
