Too bad that some of our representatives seem to lack the mental capabilities to handle the 3-button voting system. On the other hand, who says that the reverse hasn't happened as well? I could imagine that there also were some 'y

No it was removed only in JDK 11. Here's an example of a modular JDK 9 + JavaFX 9 app: https://carlfx.wordpress.com/2016/04/26/a-javafx-helloworld-...

It's not the soil but the lack of sun that deprives the tomatoes of their taste. Greenhouses in the Netherlands are heated with natural gas. The Dutch government subsidises the gas so they can keep their costs low and be competitive. S

The presentation claims that it takes 4 hours to travel from Paris to Amsterdam by car. Well, the distance is 750 km so you need a pretty fast car for that and a big wallet to pay for the speeding tickets ..

I'm learning Haskell and I find this project very helpful and educating. There's one thing I'm wondering about, and that's the lack of (unit) tests. I'm coming from the Java world and I'm used to write unit and
