Java Web Start is such a big success.

Successful as in slow to use, poorly designed, difficult to extend and a memory hog. You can't even reuse code between rails1 and rail2. OO is a joke. Pure OO languages like Java and SmallTalk are already failures. C++, Scala, Kotlin a

Program = Data Structures + Algorithms Most OO code is poorly designed, slow, error prone and a memory hog. Every object you initialise wastes so much memory. OOP is not going to be there forever. It is a failed paradigm. Hopefully it will

I still don't understand why social media has to censor things when it can just as well label it as inaccurate / spam according to experts or something. Now flat earth's think they are right like Galelio.

Bullshitters are observed to be intelligent. That is true. Confident bullshitters are assumed to be intelligent but thats because of the confidence factor. Intelligent people usually outthink themselves and "appear" doubtful when

Is this like SARS or like flu ? SARS is no flu. In the recent Joe Rogan podcast Elon Musk was talking about the need for more accurate data. The scientific facts seem blurry at the moment. Watching the dutch news, the next steps seem to be

The peer review process is closed with loads of conflicts of interest and reviewer biases. On a tangential note I think the reproducibility crisis is jarring. There should be a way to rank research by reproducibility.

On another note here a a few claims framework authors make which are usually short sighted 1. Frameworks promote code reuse Frameworks however don't promote reuse within different versions of the same framework, which makes the code re

Every single corporation out there is a totalitarian wet dream 1. Owns all your I.P "thoughts" while you are on the premises. 2. Monitors all your communication channels. 3. Can do drug / psychological testing if you are not

> But why would anyone convert all their wealth into cash? How would you setup a malaria fund of 10 billion, otherwise ?

by foobar_ 6y ago
Yes but the government is sitting on "cash" not stocks and its 100 times more than Bozos.
163.
by foobar_ 6y ago
I think this is a false equivalency. How much of the wealth is convertible to cash ? I think its 1% at best ... so bezos is worth 100 million. Every years budget for U.S is in trillions, so its pointless to go after wealth of private people

My bad, I was just commenting on it because it seems like a very primitive model of physics developed by islanders. It makes me wonder why people are still debating about these things even if they are facts. Maybe it's because most pe

The flat earth model works if it was built by isolated tribes living on an island. It wasn't until Copernicus that people started to believe the round earth model.

Throw shoes at Ellison. 10000s of shoes with flyers in them about FSF ;) This is just another iteration of BSD vs UNIX. This is so silly. It's like every toy compiler has to pay a license because it looks like "C", even if yo

Goddamn, that is the stuff of nightmares. I think it makes sense to think in terms of smaller neural networks that can do more. It makes sense. I don't know how Game AI Enemies are scripted but they seem to use very minimal code. This

Over analyzing leads to inaccuracies and hairy loops and sometimes actively experimenting, with conscious damage control is the only way to go. I would also like to add start funny. Solemnness is for dead people.

That's the thing about Marxist critique, they don't really have any solutions than pointing out what sucks.

Yes, sometimes when you use new updated ... these things go missing in other places so it becomes painful to retrain to the next version.

Unless this is going to transfer ethercoins, this is a SCAM. They are trying to build a bank on top of smartcoins. The functionality seems like that of a promissory note. As they keep the kong coins in their kong bang ... they will try to

Unfortunately, programming is the middle ground between engineering and art. It's a dancing architecture. Because of this value-extractors and their thinking is borderline asine as seen in the case of crappy products in the dotcom bust
