It's mostly the support for other languages and plug-ins, to be fair. For example, I have to write cucumber-style BDD tests for my Python projects sometimes, and I use the Behave framework for that. IntelliJ comes with a nice Behave pl

IntelliJ is also the only Python IDE that I am not allergic to. I normally just VIM, but when I am forced to use an IDE (e.g. pairing), I use IntelliJ. (Curiously, I've found IntelliJ to be actually better for Python development than t

I'm calling out bullshit by someone whom everyone believes. Just like I'm calling out the bs of Musk, Hawking, etc., about AI destroying humanity. Just because people are smart and successful in one respect, doesn't mean they

We have a miracle. It's called nature, and otherwise uber-smart idiots routinely underestimate its miraculous powers.

Yes! Why is this a problem? The Daily Mail is SHIT. The majority of people LOVE to read about shit. It's not my thing, so I don't read it. That's what free market means.

I don't get the "running out of fuel" argument... If the universe (as assumed in the text) is infinitely old and infinitely large, why should there be any scarcity of nuclear fuel?

I fail to see how this brings ANY value to ANYONE, other than those who explicitly wish to engage in abuse of authority. I also fail to see how teaching this as a skill in university is any better than teaching advanced pocket picking skill

So they're teaching idiots to hand off responsibility to other idiots and only cover their asses legally. What sort of irresponsible education do you have in the US?

I don't know about that, but it is flat-out psychopatic to claim that the rate of entrepreneurship in the US has declined when it has been increasing faster than ever in the past few years[1]. [1] http://stats.oecd.org/
