Absolutely! I don't particularly like Java the language, but what I hate is the bs-filled "enterprise" ecosystem where code and technology is just an afterthought. Things may have changed though, but 4 years ago I had to look up Java proj

Could also be a solution to a problem you don't have. I like the idea of a detailed Facebook timeline that goes back many years. But I don't want to share, or give FB, enough information for it to be worthwhile. Also, I'm not I'll be on FB

Too me, the Evernote comparison didn't make a lot of sense. But the FB timeline explanation did. So it's basically: a private fb-timeline like journal filled with things from social networks and real life ?

But if it's in the contract, then you know ? That seems naive, you can't possibly know that they won't sell your data, but you can make an educated guess.

Actually, that makes sense to me.. SO tries very hard not to be a forum and therefore everything that resembles footers, signatures etc. should be left out. On SO you thank people by up-voting and accepting answers, not commenting. Questio

1) and 2) seems to define lazy as "avoiding work now". Can't being lazy also involve avoiding work later? (see also: The first great virtue of a programmer)

Maybe, but how do you explain the example he gives? Making 1,8$ pr books seems low. You'll have to sell a lot of books to make a living.. Edit: That might not be the publishers fault though.. Anyone know how the $29.54 breaks down? How mu

While interesting, those benchmarks are only useful if you implement something remotely similar to the actual benchmarks. Just glazing over them, they seem to be "unfairly" targeted at low-level languages. That said, they are fun to look at

"JVM's start-up time and inability to allocate memory when needed (as compared to up-front way it's done now).." Care to elaborate? Are you saying that the JVM can't malloc()? :)

This was not obvious: I wanted to select many small items inside a large box, but I couldn't click-and-drag to select the small items without also selecting the large box. The solution was to lock the big box.
