Oh!... Having "Java" but no clue of "OOP"? Seen it any number of times. Devs who've migrated from a C or Cobol background with little/no/hopelessly inadequate OO training in particular. The code is predict

Soylent Green? (referring to the original 1970s movie, not the faux-food thing some grifter tried to flog a few years ago)

The approach I've followed for many years is to have /home mount on a separate partition from anything else. Then when you do any kind of fresh install or upgrade, you only have to make sure that partition doesn't get touched

I doubt A/B testing. If the original headline was "Bridge destroyed" then it was simply factually wrong, blatantly incorrect, and seemed unlikely to me coming from a news-source like the NY Times which still has some shreds

Misquoted headline. Actual headline: "Explosion Damages Crimea Bridge, Imperiling Russian Supply Route".

Unless you live out in the sticks (as I do) ;) Then you're pretty-much stuck with 5Mb/s DSL :P

I hope they're rather hoarding solar panels... That said, I'll bet solid Swiss money that Google is aware of the electricity supply situation here and has planned/is planning around it.

Still going on. We were without power from 12h00 to 14h00 this afternoon and will be again from 20h00 to 22h00 tonight, and that pattern will persist for at least the next few days (along with another outage in the wee hours so most of us d

You'll not prise my paper books from my cold, dead hands with a crowbar. I dislike ebooks intensely and won't use/buy them except for the most ephemeral use-cases (tech books).

What I really want is USB powered heating in my bones. Like just the long bones in the arms and legs would be fine. Or wirelessly powered (put the charge in my mouse-pad.)

Indeed, it prefers "current" Java (17ish). I'm pretty sure you can't build NB on Java8 any more.

No, I think Eclipse won because multi IBM dinero for marketing (back in the day) while Netbeans was... just zese guys, you know. Yeh, later they got some Sun support, but initially it was just... open source?

Netbeans team made one very good decision way back that IntelliJ still comes nowehere near to competing with: Integration with the underlying build system (Ant/Mvn/Gradle). IJ frequently gets itself into some weird state where

Yes, true. But who cares? If a student wants to "cheat", who are they actually cheating? See, it all comes down to "Why are you here?" Are you doing a course so that you can "get some job"? Or are you doing it

Download Pharo or Squeak and start playing with it. Both (iirc) come with tutorial stuff. Or, if your feeling more adventurous, try Glamorous Toolkit (gtoolkit.com) which comes with has tons of teaching material (in the tool itself) -- also

Genuine question: What OO languages have you worked in?

It's not the Artificial Intelligences I fear, but the Artificial Stupdidity. And that's existed since the 17th century (at least). see also: Banks, Phone Companies, Government (esp, at local levels).
