Does a MS from US help in getting green card?

But all of this stuff simply can't end up in Java, because of backwards compatibility. For example, kotlin object references are non null by default. That is not something Java can easily bolt on. I think there should be many such feat

There is an official plugin for Eclipse.

IntelliJ Ultimate has a lot of extra features, yes, but I don't recall any of them being related to Kotlin, or Android, so I don't think the parent comment claiming kotlin usage will result in extra revenue is relevant.

Any place which has internal tooling tightly coupled to Eclipse, and isn't willing to or has not gotten to develop the same for IntelliJ.

I don't think Jetbrains gets any money directly by the usage of Kotlin on Android, as Kotlin too is open source, and works very well in IntelliJ Community (also open-source). In fact, I don't think IntelliJ ultimate has any extra

I think android studio uses the community (open source) version of IntelliJ Idea, so it should not be a big part of Jetbrains revenue.

Jetbrains products are awesome though. I used to use a heavily customized vim which was a pretty good setup, but the things a jetbrains ide can do are just much better than what my custom setup could do. I pay for a personal subscription an

The people directly recruited from CS programs to work on cutting edge projects on these companies are going to be PhD, not graduates. I can't fathom any of the above companies inviting an undergrad to work on their cutting edge projec

Selling basic most likely didn't get them a fortune though. DOS was the real moneymaker, and Windows, had its success derived from DOS. They did make a successful transition to Applications though, at a time when Lotus 1-2-3 was making

Curiously, what other products launched by any other company have had a similar effect as the iPhone.
434.
by enitihas 7y ago
Correct. People think that stuff like iPhone can just be created, if there is enough will and innovation. The iPhone is the most successful consumer electronics product of all time, and might also be the most profitable product on an yearly

The examples given are full of intentionally created boilerplate. Anyone writing such production code in java has no java experience for sure. For example, the aws sdk for dynamo db contains DynamoDBMapper, which will convert dynamoDBItem t

But hadn't it grown more in the preceding 5 years than in the 4 years headed by Sundar. Looking at the share price, it seems it has roughly doubled every 5 years since 2005.

Eric Schmidt had step down long before that, and Larry Page was the CEO. In 2015, Alphabet was formed and Page became the CEO of Alphabet, leaving Sundar as the CEO of Google.

by enitihas 7y ago
Sundar joined Google in 2004. He became CEO in 2015 I think.
439.
by enitihas 7y ago
TLDR version: Sundar is now the CEO of both Google and Alphabet, and Larry and Sergey have taken a seat on the backbench.

If you don't mind, can you please elaborate about the backend too.

by enitihas 7y ago
Aurora RDS is a meta product name though, you can't use it without specifying the engine, MySQL or PostgreSQL. What you are saying would be more like adding a postgres frontend to mysql.

License, ScyllaDB is AGPL 3.0. Also maintainability I am assuming. ScyllaDB is written by a team of people experts in writing high performance low level code, and I am not sure it is easy for others to fork it easily. Cassandra being writte

This seems to be very good for people who don't want to be locked in to DDB. The prices are very similar to DynamoDB(slightly higher), and the model is pay as you go. Prices: Managed Cassandra: Write request: units $1.45 per million wr

I think Amazon realises that it is better for them to disrupt themselves, rather than someone else.

The performance won't be the same though, as things might be much more optimised for x86-64.

I am not disputing that, I am just asking how does any other browser make it even easier.

Why do you think Google is embedded into Chrome? I use ddg easily with chrome, and as far as I remember, chrome allows you to change your search engine to anything, even a nobody site, as oppposed to Safari, which only allows selection from

I don't get the point. Doesn't the world already have search engines. Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo. If the argument is these are not popular, then that is surely not Google's fault. If the argument is Google's brand is more

Because everyone likes riding on the high horse and the prospect of moral superiority is too sweet. Kidding aside, if it's not your money and time on the line, it is hard to see people taking the side of a big co against a normal emplo
