Actual Java dev here, not just someone who used it in college and got annoyed -- but I have no idea what you're talking about. Java has not been boilerplatey for a long time, I'd say since sometime between Java 5 and Java 8. You d

Well, even so, while most drivers don't mind driving, there is a significant minority who are actually kind of freaked out by driving -- big overlap with people who have experienced a serious wreck. I've met a few people like that

Yeah it's just a joke, lightly poking fun at contemporary commentary worrying about the viability of open source projects perceived as too centralized around one key person. I don't know how serious the concerns ever were, though

Other than price (ie, too popular!) I don't think those are significant issues in most US cities I've lived in. It's probably not a coincidence that 90percent of the time someone talks about these kinds of issues they always

Yes, perfect examples. Those all happened after the invention of the printing press and were fueled by newspapers and/or pamphlets, etc, to allow communication to flow much more quickly and efficiently. There was a time when the printi

Yeah, I'm sure it's hard, if you try to do it from memory and haven't done it in years. You could just take 5 min to refresh your memory by looking at the first 3 pages of any Java book though. Or stack overflow for goodness

Are you trolling? That's 4 lines of code any Java dev can type from memory. package foo; public class Hello { public static void main(String[] args){ System.out.println("hi world"); } } As for the build and run, javac foo&#x2

It's something that something should be done about, but not something that should be worried about. There is a fine distinction. Take whatever action is in your control to make the situation better, then, having done that, do not keep

When Donald Trump began campaigning in 2016 his supporters cryptically described his platform as "he's saying what everybody's secretly thinking!" Naturally, I initially assumed this is what they meant-- that real numbe

That's a great argument for policymaking, but that's not what we're talking about -- we're talking about whether the children themselves should be worried sick, literally, about it. They clearly should not. Obesity and c

Mental health problems are a far greater threat though, and have dramatically increased in the last decade, perhaps partly because it's so easy to worry about big problems outside of their control. The probability of being affected by

Here's an easy way to cut through the complexity: pay everyone the same commute subsidy, equal to what it would cost to commute to the nearest area where housing costs the same or less as the national average. So if the office is in a

Hi! Fellow 35mm projectionist here. Your experience must have predated mine, things changed. By the time I worked on them (2007) the dual projector system was long obsolete. At that time (and afaik this remained the state of the art until d

Very true. That said, to be fair, the average poor undocumented immigrant demands far less space (simply because that's what they can get under the circumstances). Living multiple unrelated people to a room is not unusual, ie, even mor

It's useful for 60 days, since for 60 days (or maybe it's 90 or 30, I forget -- look it up yourself if you need it, don't listen to me) you can elect it retroactively. So you can go without insurance, and as long as you have

What they don't get outside of Big Tech is that non-junior developers are (relative to the traditional pre-software 20th century industrial business model) more like managers than like line workers. It's just that the "worker

Why would a court of law have to be involved? This is a Congressional investigation. Nobody is being charged with a crime. As usual for you, you make a wild and vague claim because you have no understanding of US law and customs. In fact I

Airbus is a French company. France is part of NATO. In the event of war, France and the US would likely be obligated to be on the same side by their NATO treaty obligations. I don't think you are very informed on this matter.

Have you read the US constitution? It is very short, easily reeadable in an hour. So if your comment is sincere, you would cite the specific clause of the constitution that you are worried is being violated. There is no such clause.
