I'd like to just point out that Java didn't have exception chaining until 1.4. And suppressed exceptions were added in 1.7 along with the try-with-resources construct. I know 1.4 was a long time ago, but it was 4 years after 1.2

Yep! One can even define the `main` method using either: public static void main(String[] args) public static void main(String... args)

Yet the JVM had `invokedynamic` before it had any use in Java, specifically to support more dynamic languages.

They are personally liable. That's what their stamp means. And are you claiming that insurance should not be permitted? If so, that seems... Silly. People make mistakes. If a single mistake has the potential to ruin your entire li

My parents had a husky when I was born. The moment it bit my face was the last moment it spent in the house. Lived in the garage until it was (quickly) rehomed. I don't blame it; it wasn't like it was trying to rip my face off.

I would never take a receipt as proof of card ownership. If I were to find a wallet, what's the chance that there's a random receipt stuffed in there along with the card?

I'm confused. I haven't actually brought up any issues except those raised in the link I provided, where IRV has some serious issues. So allow me to remedy it by providing specifics. Your link clearly says, in heading: "RC

I found this to learn basic italic handwriting. Once you get that down, you can branch out in other directions. But things like consistent slant and spacing, which is what this teaches you, are the foundation on which everything else will

I assume you mean that all the candidates run against each other simultaneously, and the top 5 all win a seat? I don't think that has the properties you are claiming. At least not with approval voting. Let's spherical cow this f

The "exponential" is possibly referring the `n` in scientific notation `×10ⁿ`. IE, it's referring to being larger on a logarithmic rather than linear scale.

Maven defaults to Java, but I'm pretty sure there's compilation plugins for all the JVM languages.

I'm pretty sure I've done this before... Maven is generally nothing more than some plugin executions with default configurations bound to specific phases. Both `surefire` and `failsafe` plugins allow you to configure the pattern

In addition to what others have mentioned, a $200 steak is probably -- hopefully?! -- dry-aged. Something like 1/3 of the weight is evaporated away during dry-aging, so that 16oz steak was originally 24oz. There's also loss to t

Recursion is nothing but a loop with a stack. So yes, can certainly rewrite things that way, but all you're doing is trading the stack for a stack structure on the heap.

Your coin flip is in a vacuum though. What is this innovation replacing? Did I previously have to roll a 100-sided die? If so, that coin flip sounds really damn good. I feel like Technology Connections did a better approach to the same t

Here in Florida, we got so tired of the stalling that we wrote medical marijuana into a 2016 constitutional amendment initiative, since that's the only way to get something approaching a law without legislative cooperation.

Follow-up question: Is the difference between a stack + locals and registers just the instruction set? I imagine locals are allocated to and stored on the stack, exactly like you discuss for the registers. But in a stack VM, you can&#x27

Does OSM support address-based resolution of places? AFAIK, Google is getting things like store hours when it crawls websites. Which, of course, it's doing anyway for indexing. As long as it can figure out the address and the store
