When comparing different languages it becomes more of a measure of the relative abstraction levels of languages. The exact same program will have hundreds (or thousands) of times more LOC in Assembly than in Python.

What about github projects? Can't you ask for examples of code they have written?

Just play Day of the Tentacle. I've been playing games since the Atari days. Day of the Tentacle is one of the greatest games of all time.

And the business will feel it eventually. Developers have this magical ability to create invisible time-delayed catastrophes.

If you get away from frontend fluff and work on serious backend systems involving large financial transactions, they will appreciate those more advanced engineering skills and disciplines.

That's the point. The context of the code matters. 99% of code is not critical to life. Applying NASA level of rigor to every line of code ever written is an indication of mental disorder (autistic obsession)

You have a very poor understanding of probability. At a mean failure rate of 0.66 per year, it is quite probable for 2 failures to be spaced 4.5 months apart.

Moore's law is specifically about transistor count/density only.

Unbelievable. Three years of industry experience alone would qualify you beyond a junior position. https://www.altexsoft.com/media/2018/09/unnamed-14.png

Why was my reply flagged? This has actually happened for some FB users. My flagged reply was: "Also, anything criticizing Islam or LGBTTQQIAAP rights"

More often compared to what? What is your knowledge of history? Go read Solzhenitsyn and learn about the hundreds of millions killed and tortured under Communism.

Psychopaths in leadership/management create problems in all economic systems. Don't blame capitalism. Evil people are evil. There are good people at Boeing but psychopaths have a natural ability to gain power in all kinds of socia

Somewhere I heard that was the case, but I didn't verify it. These benchmarks show Jython performing hundreds of times worse. spectral-norm: 0.12 secs for CPython and 4.96 secs for Jython. How can the JVM be 40 times slower than an int

This article requires more computational resources than a Cray-2 supercomputer (1985). It loads much better in Lynx with a tiny fraction of the resources.

I consider that as basically no multithreading support. CPython multithreading is useless in comparison. Those benchmarks indicate that the Jython compiler is far from optimal. The equivalent code rewritten in Java would be an order of mag

CPython is 100 times slower and has no multi threading support (CPython is single threaded). JVM code can outperform native C code. The JVM supports many advanced languages (Scala, Clojure, Kotlin) and it can even run Python code (Jython) f

Why should I be forced to give away my hard earned cash to anyone who simply refuses to work? Being sick and unemployable is unfortunate, and I am happy to help those who genuinely need help, but what you are suggesting is utterly despicabl

Come on man. That's a childish thoughtless response. If you actually read my responses to these nutcases you will agree that THEY are the ones damaging the community by mindlessly supporting this third world dark age of censorship.

The guidelines state that I'm not allowed to post unkind comments. These people deserve harsh criticism, therefore I am happy to break that guideline.

I know the rules, and I don't mind getting banned. It's easy to make a new account. I am sick and tired of toxic insane leftist morons getting all the non-leftists banned / deplatformed everywhere, just for having opposing vi

There is zero evidence that he has white supremacist beliefs. Why haven't journalists found any evidence to the contrary? I don't care who he is married to. It is utterly irrelevant, trivial, small minded, petty nonsense.

Jewish ethnically. You personally haven't seen his husband, and you personally haven't seen a public record of his marriage. OK, so he's a white supremacist who pretends to be Jewish and pretends to have a black husband. Tota

There is a cap on potential solar power generation. Compare the amount of power generated per square meter for a solar panel versus a nuclear power station. Nuclear reactors can be stacked vertically or located underground. Also it is ugly
