I don't disagree but it always makes me wonder if aliens are out there tearing a few of us limb from limb and saying... they're only humans.

Regarding the prices of steel rising 50% can't this be mitigated to some extent by buying core materials (or a proportion of) on the futures market which is specifically designed to protect the buyer from price fluctuations?

As a developer my first question would be: Can I dual boot linux on it? If so it would be an extremely attractive developer machine and switch to Windows when you need it. The hardware is the show stealer here.

Nice product. Some constructive advice - whilst naughty swear words are fine between friends and on your blog, on your product's home page it gives the impression of childishness and unprofessionalism.

As the author said its not the languages fault. And if you know what you are doing then Java is clean, mature, performant, dare I say it enjoyable platform to use. I think there also a generational conflict here. Java is a development envir

I really don't know who buys Wired... despite it being a quality publication on the whole it seems far too dumbed down for real geeks and too niche for the layman. I imagine it ends up on the reception table of lots of startups and des

Charlie Brooker, brilliant as ever: David Cameron has responded to this crisis by declaring we need to celebrate "Britishness" with more enthusiasm. More enthusiasm? More? We've been celebrating Britishness with the strained

Why MS never developed a truly powerful unix compatible terminal is beyond me (not cygwin). Developer buy-in and kudos alone should be incentive alone. The feeling of being restricted on windows as a developer always gets me running back to

Beautiful read of a comment too. I agree entirely and perhaps the mission to Mars will give humanity that hope and connection again.

I'm not sure that this is a bad thing in the short term. Unhealthy businesses closing are better for the economy in the long run as it redistributes capitol, talent, resources to those that are productive. Japan can tell you all about

Really great post full of insights you tend to get when you mature a little. The great change for me in overcoming shyness and connecting was someone told me shyness is a form of cowardliness. Without becoming an annoying asshole overcome y

Lombok is an anti-pattern for me. It creates a unholy mess of annotations for what should be language features.

I've seen this happen too and despite the apprehension of causing a "fuss" the only proper response is to fight back through proper channels and use the laws in place designed to protect you and potential future victims - in

Agree to an extent however its not a bad sample of the main players. Every network has its own hierarchies and patronage... tech is no different. The main negative for me is it doesn't give any feedback on the health of the London tech

I understand your point... in terms of numbers Java does attract careerist programmers simply by critical mass. Although I would argue that language is actually now Javascript but thats another argument entirely. The point I was making was

Thank you for yours... most eloquent. Some background just for you my friend: I've seriously programmed in (in order) C, C++, assembly, Java, Ruby and Python... and many other languages in between. I've had to maintain, fix, perfo

This self agrandizing is vomit inducing... Why in order to elevate your own community do you feel a need to assert vague stereotypes about some huge blob of developers that it sounds like you know very little about. All the Java programmers

The tool seemed to be the right tool or at least good enough for the master carpenters of Hadoop, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, Zookeeper, Neo4J etc etc... and Google, Netflix, Twitter etc etc...

The article is terrible when read from the perspective of a developer. But it does touch on something - often here on HN, start up culture and wider tech-centric sites if a technology is mainstream, not release 0.001 its not considered wort
