   UPD: But interesting question though: if language X gives correct answer for that example (without using special classes and functions), does that mean that language X is not following IEEE 754 and does something else under the hood, hence

   Isn't it an expected behaviour (at least for programmers) because of IEEE 754? For example, in Racket this also gives 2.0, but if you are using exact numbers (#e), then it gives exact and correct answer 1.0. Same for Java (and any othe

   I am doing Java (mostly), 10 years of experience, in New Zealand (not much work to do here, unfortunately), 80-100 NZD per hour. I'm currently free for about 20-30 hours per week, looking for more work. Feel free to contact me: kovrik0

   Probably a very stupid question, but I'm wondering if containers (which are extremely popular nowadays) can help us to improve web security? What I mean is, that all major browsers are trying to create their own sandbox environment to

   Because 'writing code that somehow works from business perspective' and 'writing well-designed, readable, maintainable and optimized code' are two different things. I have similar situation when Team and Tech leads in ou

    Yes, I have Early 2013 Macbook Pro as well. Had some problems with keyboard, but have it to be replaced today. Was thinking about buying new Macbook Pro, but after seeing the release I'm definitely going to stay with my current one.

    I can't use my car's GPS because the car is from Japan and it has Japanese language only and only maps of Japan. And you can't just download map of any other country, and you can't even change the language. So, yes, I&#x

    Your own Lisp-like language (or Scheme implementation). Really recommend it.

    Yeah, I found this app accidentally and would say it is much better than Photos because it just works the way you expect.

    Yes. That is what I mean. My wife and I both have 6 Apple devices, 624GB in total (well, yes, they are not full yet, but still) + 1 2TB AirPort Time Capsule, which could store all these GBs easily. All devices (except for old iPod) have

    How does it help? Can I use Time Machine to backup my iPod to AirPort Time Capsule?

    Agree. I really love Apple, but I always find myself Googling for "Can I do that in iTunes?" (the answer is usually No) or "How to do this?". And I can't say that I want something weird. Some workflows look so

    Yes, Java compiler translates Unicode chars before compilation (and before many other things). See this classic example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20383687/how-it-is-possib...

    Totally agree. I think that happens because: 1) Nowadays almost everything depends on IT. 2) Majority of people still perceive IT as a "black magic". Arcane knowledge, something they don't understand, but depend on.

    Can you please elaborate? Because I don't see how it is different. Are you still using Java stack, Java calling convention, still able to do Java interop? When you are writing your own language on top of Java (Scheme, for example), you

    Don't know why you get downvoted. That's exactly what I thought. Java is my main lang and currently I'm working on my hobby project - implementing Scheme r5rs in Java. That is hard! And I doubt I'll be able to implement

    These accounting apps never worked for me. I think I'm missing something, but how do you actually use them? Do you really put every cent you spend into it? How is it possible? How do you remember all that. for example, during a we
