Better still, if you want to execute a command and if you approximately know what it could be called as, you get list of potential commands in an alternative buffer, by Alt-x, and then start typing part of the command. This I feel is great

I have worked on an app that gave the exact functionality to the users. The users could create queries using the query builder, and also schedule when the queries could be run. The challenges of course was training the users to use the oper

Nice. The most useful postfix completion I would be using in casting. It involves a lot more jumps over braces to wrap around couple of casts.

Why do you feel it is contradictory? I think having method names end with "?" whenever they return a boolean value is quite intuitive. They seem to stand out more than having such method names start with "is " or "h

Ok, thanks for clarifying that. I just looked it up and learnt than an interpreter-based approach is another option compared to other ways of supporting a dynamic typed language( by reflection, base object declaration)

Why does one need a Jython Interpreter once the byte code is available for a JVM. Isn't there the standard java that I can use?

I have been thinking about a similar question. What is the best way to learn a language? Or how does one equip oneself to pick up any language to start coding up the basic tasks[ignoring the intricacies the language provides]. Does learning

Ok, when I said it is part of culture I did not by any means justify the behavior. Cultural habits have their own downsides and upsides. They also evolve. So, right now that is the state. I wish it got better. If my comment sounded like I s

To add to your comment: Even Indians who grow up in cities get the same kind of stares when they visit villages. As an young child every year when my siblings and I visit a tiny village where my parents grew up, there are always people who

Your are right. I mixed up dynamic symbolic execution with invariant detection. I know there is something called DySy which does do invariant detection using dynamic symbolic execution.

Well I am talking about time between 2000 and 2012. Salaries have remained in the same range since then for the most part based on my conversations with people I used to work for then in the Silicon Valley.

I think even in the Silicon Valley the salaries other than the selective big guys has not even kept up with inflation. A 2 year-experience developer still gets between 80-100k or less. This is what was being paid in 2000 as well. The situat

The Optional<T> in Guava just forces one to explicitly check for null and then get the container object during development. A typical pattern would be: Given an object a of type Optional<MyObject>, we write: if (a.isPresent

Agreed. There is a fine line on how much of this should be used. Teams can spend cycles trying to design everything based on IoC which might be overkill. All rules regarding keeping things simple should also apply to IoC.

Running with a group while training for the marathon could be the best approach. Before I started training for my first marathon I had never run more than 3 or 4 miles. Just being in a group forces you to show up for the those long runs on
