This is total crap. You can't possibly say that women are forced in prostitution. For some it's a choice between making $x or making $100x, that's not enslaving, but just a personal choice by the woman. "as prostitution

not sure why you claim it has an excellent UI, it's a very simple UI with the usual toolbar (who has those anymore? I guess that's a Windows thing.) To me, it looks like one of the basic autogenerated MFC apps with a toolbar and l

I wish people would stop creating scala libraries and frameworks, it just fragments the java community. Scala was a short term hack to fill in the gaps until Java has lambdas. Java does now and there's no need to keep scala separate, t

One would hope that the US population wouldn't vote in a party of fascists. And if they did, then they get what they deserve. American voters aren't known for being particularly bright (they voted in a drunk who couldn't put

it might be easier to use groovy, for noobs it's basically the same as python and runs on the jvm, also you can introduce java gradually without changing environments. I love python - used it for years, but I am dumbfounded that people

"we have ten weeks to take people who may have never programmed by typing text into an editor and teach them enough CS and programming that they can implement their own hashmap in Python" that seems utterly pointless to me.

the most surprising thing I read was "Many of our students have never programmed with a text editor before" - what kind of CS students haven't tried programming before with a text editor? I find that incredible. Long before I
