Screen is incredibly inefficient though.

Oracle owns the IP of Java, and begrudgingly allows such things as openjdk.

Oracle owns Java, plain and simple. There are alternatives, sure, but it's foolish to think that when it comes to anything within the Java ecosystem, the buck doesn't stop with Oracle. All they have to do is modify the Java licens

My company does on-prem gitlab as well, and it's pretty fantastic. We're in the beginning stages of migrating off of Azure DevOps but so far we're wowed by the features.

A 35s and 50g got me through my engineering degree, I'm sure they'll still work fine.

There's a whole lot of bootlicking boomers on this post... Abuse in industry is SHOCKINGLY common, and tolerated, as long as those bad actors can make contributions to a project. Thankfully, many companies are starting to become less a

Agreed, "journalists" should be held to a high standard for the information they disseminate. Have we all forgotten "A Rape on Campus" and the fallout for Rolling Stone?

Maven is worse than Gradle.

I'm so glad I don't have to deal with Java and it's ecosystem anymore.

That's a pretty weak arg all around. I'd wager this is a rare situation, compared to the number of good employees recruited and retained by offered quality benefits.

by irateswami 6y ago
Bingo. Saying that the employees are paid well enough to buy their own health insurance is a red herring because it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, companies get far better rates on insurance products. Gumroad could probably save

They should've just declared an autonomous zone and solidarity w/BLM, the media would've loved them.

Ugh, we really need to reform the H1B. It's basically indentured servitude and helps perpetuate shitty behavior in our industry.

The words "Facebook" and "integrity" in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

This whole thing is why I'm so glad someone finally sued Apple over their control of the app store, it's just more fuel for the fire.

>robust, fast, complete Yeah, all of this is no longer true for java. I've worked on many jvm projects not long ago, I've never had one that would work just out of the box. You might be able to download the repo and open it, bu

I had a garbage math professor in college who did this, total bullshit.

I had a lot of qualms with my CS education, the professors in particular, but I have to hand it to them they always either tried to have the book and material online for free, or would use the international edition of whatever textbook we n

Perhaps it's just my schadenfreude acting up but I pray to sweet baby Jesus that they try to bust somebody with this. I'd love to see a whole bunch of engineers from Clearview AI get a proper shellacking on the stand from a crimin

This is why I love old hardware, even as a relatively "young" person in tech. It really keeps you disciplined and honest with your code. I have three older Xeon machines with very bad specs that I use as a Kubernetes cluster, and

First AMD came along with Ryzen, now Apple is moving to it's own silicon... I'm not optimistic at all for Intel's future. Had they bought the licensing rights to ARM maybe I could see them being relevant but what is it that I

Oooof, this hit me hard. Burnout to the max from the sound of it. The only way I've managed to solve any of these qualms is to just tell my boss, more senior engineer, director, etc, "No". Work is a relationship just like any

There's lot of stuff to criticize Biden over that is, at best, borderline depending on which side of the aisle you're on, but Biden's failures on foreign policy seem to be a bipartisan issue. Even Robert Gates was highly publ

Given the proprietary nature of the pcm4's interface I'm amazed that they have such high demand right now, but given how that little gigabit chip wildly improves io performance I guess I shouldn't be.

This is an actual conversation I had to have with my wife, having a third kid definitely requires a larger vehicle as the vast majority of cars today simply don't work for a family of five. Child car seats are too wide and the backseat

Ubuntu is seriously an amazing achievement and while I've used plenty of distros, nothing compares in terms of getting work done. I'm not an OS engineer and have no desire to get granular with my OS, I just want to be able to load
