The exception was named like that before pointers in Java were called references. Urban legend says it was Sun's marketing department demanding Java sounds less dangerous than C/C++.

There are regulations on how much li ion battey a machine may have to be allowed in the cabin pn a plane. I think many companies won't cross that limit. So something like the removable / modular batteries from the past might be gr

You try and fail. And try and fail. And try and fail. And then one day you have learned enough to try and succeed. Learning how to NOT land it is learning how to land it.

Growing up (Generation Commodore 64, later having an Amiga) taught me enough computing lingo that I one day started to read English books. Because at some point the really interesting books didn't have German translations anymore. So t

Which is really sad, because (and I say that as a hard core auto driver) riding a bike through the city significantly lowers your death risk (also by health benefits) as long as there are bike lanes. Bike riders also solve traffic jams (by

Over here in Germany a speed limit typically means there's a good reason to follow it. On the Autobahn we've got places where there is no speed limit at all (yep, there's places where I can legally go 250 km/h) and on ot

Yes great idea. Build a new rule into a nation-wide law just to solve a problem that needs no solving as "red light with static green right arrow" is a typical sight over here in Germany and drivers DO understand it. It would be m

Not all JIT compilation needs to be fast. I think it was hotspot that first does interpretation, then - when interpretation proves too expensive - switches over to a quick jit. And when code gets executed lots of times it runs jit again, th

Haha, AOT native compilation. This comes back time and time again. AOT native results in slower runtimes for applications with one simple exception: startup time. In every other case a modern JIT compiler like the JVM will win due to gather

Mike, I'm just saying that you're putting yourself on risky ground, not that I want to do something personally. In fact I'd even consider keeping GA enabled IF BEING NOTIFIED. The current notification is the problem, as it is

The target audience for the code I write is not the compiler but my coworkers and the gals and guys who will maintain the stuff after I leave a project. So I prefer to choose a language where I can nicely express the intent of what I code.

Cool article, absolutely annoying CSS theme - as I tend to scroll back a little the title bar is jiggling in and out all the time. A number of sites uses this and this is SOOO distracting.
