Sounds like they wanted to be a little more aggressive rather than just putting lipstick on that same pig. By specifying the new method they can clean up the rough edges for performance or ergonomics without breaking existing code.

I think he's saying: import java.util as jvutil; import com.betterlist as better; class Example { jvutil.List list = new better.List(); }

First off, forgive me if I don't take your word for it, but I just saw an article recently saying that remote workers are more productive on average. Whether that study was just an anomaly or there's some other explanation like &q

Yeah. I'm remote at a mostly collocated company and I'm always trying to get my face on other people's screens whether that's a stand-up or not screen sharing off the bat during demos or even just over-commenting in grou

I think they were trying to say "how do I know the Australians submitting PRs aren't secretly working for the govt?" Of course this raises (but does not beg) the question, "how do I ever know anybody submitting PRs isn&#

It's a joke about doing pointless things because he's at home. Nobody actually alphabetizes their socks, but he's saying he gets distracted and starts doing things around the house when he should be working.

That's not what brand recognition means. Brand recognition is people knowing that a Coke is a soft drink and a Kleenex is a tissue. Blue Apron has been aggressively advertising and people probably know it's an ingredient delivery

Yeah, it's interesting. I wonder if it has something to do with sexual harassment training? I've definitely been "taught" that having pinups can be grounds for sexual harassment claims when working for a large grocery ch

I think he mentioned this briefly in the article. In C it's common to use intrusive data structures like linked lists and AVL trees because that's how the language works, you can embed data structures easily. This wouldn't wo

If someone knows my home address, they have to drag themselves all the way to Wyoming to do anything about it. High cost, low value. If somebody tracks everything I do online, they can start spamming me online on all the sites I visit. Low

I'm more qualified to comment on .NET but the main difference here is that Core was basically starting over on .NET from zero to go cross-platform and then immediately scrambling to get everybody's favorite feature plugged back in

It's good to hear a good report from the front. I've named my first daughter this way and I'm less than a month from doing it again.

I think the idea of "master" as in a definitive or original copy has enough usage that it's considered a second meaning of the word. I guess it's still possible that people will be upset, but without "slave", i

If I remember correctly, Go was only allows source packages and does whole-program optimizations. They designed their compiler to be fast to enable this.

A row is a fight, though it's pronounced in a way I can't seem to type phonetically. But not like row of corn or row the boat.

by kbsletten 8y ago
I also never use "row" to mean a fight, so I read that as "bug row" (like "skid row", or "cannery row") and couldn't figure out what was even going on.

That's well and good, but the article linked here is still garbage because of how meaningless the idea of parking spaces/resident actually is. I'm not saying Jackson is a good place to live, but just because you can make up a

The Jackson thing is cracking me up. It's like saying that there are 100 hotel rooms for every resident of Maui, what are they doing with all those hotel rooms? Jackson is probably the biggest tourist destination in our tiny little s

The US has more than 6. There's a big difference between Denver and Phoenix, even though they're both "Mountain Time". Grouping them together would be overly simplistic. Things like "weekdays at 10 A.M." mean d

You've clearly never had somebody forward your email on you. All digital communication is effectively public by virtue of fast, easy copying.

Well, unless they have a triage team, you're counting on developers having a Spidey-sense that there's an open issue related to what they're working on. I assume the issue list is something they never asked for but feel oblig

I see what you're saying, but I also feel like the two are very different to me.

So, I'm really not trying to start a fight, please read this with curious intent. I personally don't really feel like keeping my email is a violation of my privacy. If they're not "processing" it (that feels like

That seems easy enough to fix, no? Change the API to allow a runtime generated list of compile-time strings, et viola . Though, I doubt that's as safe as you might imagine. Imagine a return oriented programming-like technique using st

I have to say, I wouldn't get your hopes up. If I were MySQL, I wouldn't touch this with a 10 ft pole because it's not likely to really affect somebody's opinion of MySQL enough to switch, but there's going to be at

I imagine they have documentation, but I also can't see a privacy permission ending well. How easy would it be to convince somebody to allow an app to turn off privacy entirely?

Yeah, but I think the battle is lost. All users should always double-check why they need to enter credentials on any page from any website. I think that the simple act of logging into a site to use it has already "normalized&qu

I think the genie's out of the bottle on that one, I can already do the same with a million other services.

On the other hand, do you really want random people on the internet to be able to inject objects into your git repository by creating a branch or whatever? Especially after SHAttered, that's a huge liability that sort-of justifies t
