Tell me you don't live in a real city without telling me you don't live in a real city. Where I live the busses are quite useful and get used by a lot of people.

Do you really not understand that this actually makes a lot of sense?

I find that even then I often need to be clear that i'm just asking a question and don't want them running off to solve the larger problem.

It wasn't just Biden. This is how it played out with Obama as well, except that Romney lost in 2012. Heck, Obama won the peace prize for no other reason than he wasn't George W Bush

I've dealt with postgres DBs larger than that in size though with no stored procedures and have never run into such problems. Except for a single table in a single DB at one stop, and that was a special case of people being extra stupi

I can tell you what will happen instead. If a dem wins in 2028, the big push will be one of reconciliation and acceptance. Let bygones be bygones. And it'll happen. And then for the next 4 years conservative media will absolutely pound

This is true. But at the same time people need to understand that most companies will never hit that certain point. It's a matter of if, not when. Everyone tries to plan for a world where they've become one of the hyperscalers. Be

Yes. And I believe it kept going with Spring. But those were mistakes imposed by frameworks. Not a necessity for good language usage.

Have worked on many a non-toy java application. Have never used things like Lombok hiding getters/setters behind the covers. Never found this to be a real world problem.

by jghn 8mo ago
The more modern take is to not bother with getters & setters for most things. People were cargo-cutting getters/setters on every variable without thinking about the implications. First off, there's the question of if most thin

At some point there needs to be a statute of limitations on this stuff. In general I find spoiler fanatics kind of silly anyways: if I don't want something spoiled I don't read online discourse about that thing. It's my respo

Only true for engineers who don't want to bother learning this skill. Those engineers are going to start finding themselves left behind.

I interpreted the GP as saying "social stuff" as in focusing on social interactions between the characters instead of having more action & adventure. "maybe because it plays mostly on a station instead of an exploration v

Talking about a show that aired 30 years ago isn't "spoilers". Anyone who wanted to not be spoiled has had plenty of time to go rectify that situation by now.

No one disagreed it happens. You claimed it happened "all the time". Unless I"m missing it, your links don't provide numbers of how many Americans are kidnapped & murdered per year. Further, it'd be useful to co

> Dude, Americans are getting kidnapped and murdered in Mexico all the time Dude, can you put some numbers with a citation behind that? Then we can extrapolate a risk ratio and see if it really merits the "all the time" claim.

A lot of posts in this thread are conflating two separate but related topics. Statically typing a string as EmailAddress does not imply validating that the string in question is a valid email address. Both operations have their merits and d

by jghn 8mo ago
I would argue it's the other way around. If I take a string I believe to be a phone number and wrap it in a `PhoneNumber` type, and then later I try to pass it in as the wrong argument to a function like say I get order of name & p

I've seen a mix between stringly typed apps and strongly typed apps. The strongly typed apps had an upfront cost but were much better to work with in the long run. Define types for things like names, email address, age, and the like. C

Sentiments like this make me wonder if perhaps the dream of the 90s was just ahead of its time. Things like UML, 4GLs, Rational were all being hyped. We were told that the future was a world where people could express the requirements &amp

I think you're the one who missed the point, as in you missed *my* point. When I first saw Starship Troopers, I disliked it because it wasn't faithful to the book. Over time I came to appreciate it for what it actually was, and no
