Python is strongly typed. You mean static typing.

Well, he said he can't recommend reading in general on a phone, which I can absolutely relate to. I can't even read anything longer than a normal article on my pc screen. It's just not enjoyable, for some reason, so I print

I agree, Python is horrible. And I don't even like the language itself much. I like Julia, for example - although packaging there isn't great either. My problem is that Java is one of the (probably) 3 biggest languages in use, bot

Most likely because you have dealt with them many times before that you don't notice them anymore or prevent them in the first place while setting up a project. But everytime I need to do something in Java I get bitten by this stuff, a

Yeah, absolutely. It's objectively worse than most languages.

You mean by having a (not very powerful) static type system and constructs that serve as name spaces for auto-completion lookup. Any language with modules and a static type system supports this, if the effort is put into creating the tools.

If starving is the only reason to take a Java job then it doesn't exactly speak for it. Python, for example, is also strongly typed. You most likely mean static typing, which is very useful but not exactly Javas or Cs strong suit eithe

Acting like Java tooling isn't more difficult than other languages is dishonest. Starting with a Java project is considerably more complex than with most other languages. "Missing manifest" or issues with classpaths are not i

I'm all for a good project-based package manager for Python, but I have tried Poetry several times over the last years and not once has it worked as intended. It always failed to install packages for some reason.

This is one of the main reasons why I won't work with Java. Everything is much more complex and unnecessarily arcane compared to other languages.

I can guarantee you that almost no Germans will use this feature. There are many places here where you can't even pay with EC cards, only with cash. Many people I know are hesitant to use PayPal.

Yeah, I am a bit annoyed that I got several people to switch or at least use Signal, with the whole WhatsApp thing. Now I can't really recommend it and I feel like I have used up my influence on people when it comes to recommendations

by dunefox 6y ago
I don't understand this either. Does Signal need to compete with streaming services like Netflix next? What about Steam? I didn't choose Signal as a platform, I chose it because it is (supposedly) a secure and privacy focused mess

Kotlin is statically typed. It has full type inference, though (AFAIK).

Then ignore it? How is this a problem when this person is stalking you in the first place?

I'm already on matrix. It's decent.

I don't need to use any cluttered features, yet they are still clutter.

Are you maybe confusing Threema and Telegram?

Matrix is an industrial-strength steel safe. Telegram is one of those transparent plastic safes you can buy for 20€.

Stickers probably were much easier and quicker to implement and they're important for many people. It's not a difficult decision.
