This might out me as overly cynical, but I'd go a step further and say that baby boomers don't have to throw coworkers under the bus because our younger generation got collectively thrown under the bus by our/their politician

I should note that I'm a hobbyist/enthusiast type of customer; if you're losing business on price grounds, I can definitely see where a price cut would help. (Also, it doesn't help that the wiki is crufty and out of date

As one of your customers, I've already committed $X to my instance. I would be delighted to get 2x resources compared to .5x cost.

That's their hope - after 1.0, they want to open-source it.

No, Android does not have any of this because Apache Harmony was killed by the Java 7 API changes. Namely, the documentation was no longer open, and Oracle withheld the TCK, effectively killing Harmony by making it uncertifiable as a Java i

I suggest option 4: mimic Slashdot's moderation and meta-moderation system, which addressed comment quality issues in a flexible yet clear way.

Also, hit me up if you're in the Bay Area and need a technical cofounder on a mobile project. I was on the Paper team, but besides iOS, I am very handy when it comes to backend or system administration tasks. (email: andy+yc@atoulou.se

Hey, there are valid reasons not to use Go, but don't you think you're laying it on a bit thick? A lot of those are pretty subjective, too. My anecdata tells me that Go's types are sufficient (and sometimes even handy), error

Well, he deleted years' worth of Google Docs files because of a poor user interface, but he lost the Google Docs files because of an irresponsible backup policy. Sad, to be sure, but there's no kind of critical document storage

I avoid voting for exactly this reason. I prefer to filter the noise myself by ignoring it over decreasing it for others, and the only reason for this is that I don't want to be penalized for it.

Sure, but how is degrading people to disgust them out of taking your class any less reprehensible? It's pretty clear the rules are nigh-unenforcable, but the misery it threatens students with is awful and treats students like children

I switched back from zsh to bash, and I miss it terribly. Problem is, I need to run both virtualenv and rbenv, and they're both designed for bash, and don't work properly with my zsh for some reason.

From what I have heard they locked that down years ago. Overriding default rights to go admin was logged and if it wasn't justified, the employee who did it was fired. Later, I'm not even sure if it remained an option to manually override i

It's not impossible for Google to work out a licensing deal with Oracle, but I'd just as soon expect them to come up with their own LLVM-based language implementation or announce LLVM support for one they've already developed, given that th

Admittedly, my experience on this was running it on now-ancient Android devices before Dalvik had JIT, and ProGuard at the time seemed to always render Scala apps un-runnable, for whatever reason. At least for me at the time, it was questio

by koko775 13y ago
It can't be called Java unless it passes the TCK. Even so, it only gets a limited trademark license unless you're a paying customer of Oracle. Well fine, without licensing then passing the TCK, you can't call it Java, so what? Well, since y

Sort of. It has issues with ProGuard, but the Scala standard library is a couple of megabytes, so you'll be adding some size to your application, or you'll have to very carefully test and configure. Additionally, Dalvik didn't have JIT un

OpenJDK has a field of use restriction; sublicensing it to remove the field of use restriction would have been illegal. Google would have had to license it from Oracle without the restriction. Given huge effort to implement Dalvik in such a
