A much higher percentage of what poor people buy is necessities compared to their salaries. They have much less choice as to buy or not. If a rich person were to buy at the rate a poor person does, it would be almost completely on friv

I think the feeling that we choose our actions, is actually not so clear a feeling. If you pay attention to how you actually make decisions, even simple ones, it is difficult to see where a "conscious being" played any part. You d

It compiles code to an "idealized" instruction set. That instruction set is then mapped to a real instruction set by the jvm at runtime, first in some cases through interpretation, but mostly by recompiling it (potentially better

Looks like a fun project. One thing i'd be interested in, is if it's slower than using javac, given that the JIT can optimize common idioms that the compiler spits out. For instance, for some JITs, in the past anyway, This code in

yup, As a society we have to decide if the "justice system" is about retribution, or protection. A society that leans heavily on retribution, as most do, is always going to be unhealthy. If a person is dangerous, they belong in s

Can you point me to surveys to back up this claim? I interview lots of people from lots of companies, no one is using anything above java 8. Sure this evidence is anecdotal, but i've probably got evidence from around 150 companies.

The fact that this is being openly shared implies to me that he is trying to get in Putin's head. Perhaps to provoke him to do foolish internal things. If you really had the kind of information he is espousing, you wouldn't share

Is there any stats on the numbers of people who use desktop applications outside of office tools, video editing, image processing, and basic utils? My gut reaction is, a language investing in this space isn't all that cost effective.

I don't. I have no illusion that i will understand a large code base, even one i started, and have been using for 10 years. But when you have a hundred developers constantly adding code all the time, you are not going to know it all. F

Correlation is not causation. As sad as it is, saying that a 95 year old doesn't suffer from age related decline is a tall assumption. What is the purpose of nursing homes for advanced aged people? That is the question that one has to

"Ruminations in C++" really helped me a great deal long time back. People will complain that it was just a recollection of earlier prints, which is true, but as a cohesive set it was really good. It beat the concept into one'
