We do have some very old and likely lost all sources "client apps" that are a single JAR and date from around 2003-2004, written in Swing. They still work. Of course when they stop working they will be phased out, but we have been

If you want to create books, Asciidoctor (for PDF/ebook) + Antora (to publish them on the web), are the way to go. Not related, just a happy user who used Asciidoc for the last 20 years to maintain product docs. Why? because Asciidoc&#

About (1), that's what Rhine did his whole life. Of course, it's all "debunked" - at the end you either trust what he did or think he was a fraud. About (2), I don't think it is really relevant, as long as there is

Yes - the fact is that with the same attitude it would be very hard to have *any* kind of science, because if the default answer is "it must be wrong because it's impossible. so did you control X and Y? no? you see, you are a frau

I find parapsychology a very interesting field: the kind of scrutiny that is applied to its experiments is so much higher than with anything else in the social sciences - and usually the bar gets higher and higher until someone gives up, wh

Yes the lack of discoverability, plus the unfamiliar syntax of Groovy, plus names changing between versions, I started with Gradle thinking it would be easier but in the end I'd love to go back to Ant. That was awful to write but at le

I am with you on this - it's not impossible, but is it maintainable? what if I break a leg? and when something blocks and you don't know why, who can debug it? that's why we went for a different approach. The problem with cor

I second the OP - I'm not sure where the big prize is. I have a feeling that whomever wrote the article thinks there is a 10x (or 100x) improvement to be made, but I was not able to see it. I find the syntax very clunky, and I have bee

I'm with you for "subjective". Though "strings are UTF8 binaries" ain't that bad. Or first-class, MD documentation. Or the pipe operator. Or a number of other niceties. :-)

Elixir. It has the very same concepts (actually it IS a dialect of Erlang - it's just a different front-end for the same compiler), but with a saner syntax. After a while you do Elixir, you'll start grokking Erlang. (Of course, if
