Why? It's a tool. Do you complain when the bank requires you to sign something with a pen? We require computers today for many things. Why not force websites to provide phone service with exactly the same pricing. Guess what the effect

That's like saying the tyranny of credit cards prevents me from enjoying discounts in some venues. Or that the tyranny of educational system prevents me from working as a doctor. No, I don't like installing apps for every stupid p

Yes. But an important key fact here is that this is true as long as the USD is the world currency. It's the world currency since the US is the global super-power both in international support and military strength. By cutting spending

All k8s operators are written in Go. It's really unsurprising that Java doesn't fit there. Java has huge advantages for typical web applications (observability, deployment flexibility, deep toolchain beyond IDE etc.). I've se

I very specifically separated Hamas and didn't say Palestinians. I would argue that the biggest victim of Hamas are the Palestinian people.

Pretty true. But I generally describe it as religious a*holes are crazy. Israel is actually mostly secular. The deep settlements are very religious in contrast to the rest. Hamas is just a religious suicide cult.

Israel is a democracy. It also probably has nuclear weapons and doesn't need US support. However, without US support things would get much uglier. Unfortunately, your type of thinking led to this. US involvement forced Israel to withdr

It doesn't have the same level of traction for sure. But it's still popular enough and has support unlike PhoneGap which was discontinued. There are advantages to working with smaller companies where you "know" the indiv

Why is Codename One lesser than Flutter? Plenty of companies/people use it. It's open source with commercial backing. It's free for commercial use. It existed well before flutter. Uses a language people actually use (Java) as

That doesn't work and is a major problem for me. I have a Java project with C++ native code. Using a devcontainer so the C++ dependencies are installed seems like the right thing to do... Unfortunately, I need to use Idea for the devco

Yes. It doesn't provide the roughly 20 years of advancements in JVM technology either. Modern observability and JVM scale is at a different level. The trend was to get the maximum use of hardware. Specifically get away from virtualizat

Exactly. It's like the JVM circa 2004. Without all the observability and features we have today and half the performance/reliability/security.

I'm a Jew (atheist). I don't think it's correct to compare well meaning idiots with people who literally kill people.

I'm not a fan of DEI so this isn't in defense of that policy. But are you really comparing it to the KKK? Seriously?

At the moment I'm working for an observability company building an observability agent. That includes aspects of backend but it's a bit like writing a computer virus. It's a bit like hacking.

Actually that post is very much a mistake. Everything in it is wrong. OOP is great for big applications which is where Java is still a leader. If you have statics all over then you have a problem. Heap was the right decision when Java was m

We test on all of them since we build observability solutions. We run a ridiculous amount of tests on every commit. There are minor differences, but not stuff you would notice when you build an app. If you do notice it then you have a bug i

About the GC we can agree to disagree. But about the runtime check out GraalVM which compiles Java to fully native standalone executables.

Do these students spend the same amount of time digging into money from Qatar? MIT is trying to save ignorant students from making a mistake by blocking them. Unfortunately, educating them seems to be out of the question as they carry a fal

We also build with concrete. In the USA wood is very cheap and it's easier to work with, so you end up with a larger house at half the price of a concrete house. Also wooden houses have a "warmth" that is missing from bricks.

No. The other approach is to talk about it. Not make things more extreme. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl_Davis This is the only effective way to end racism and hate. The problem is that you pool too many peop
