I bet big deciding factors were that the IDE is eclipse-based and it's a statically-typed language that is "close" to Java. That limited his choices quite a bit.

This story reminded me of the Boston bombing and it's "lockdown" (read martial law). Didn't Boston have one of these APCs roaming the streets during its martial law. In that case it's really a show of force again

This is probably more of "If we scare people by throwing around the terrorist word then we get to spend money, have cool new toys, and look badass". It's pathetic, but it seems to work.

It was pretty much assured that someone was going to come along on this story and label David as a "defector". I'll have to disagree with a blog post story a few days ago about the maturity of the Scala community.

I see a lot of libertarian and anti-government sentiments expressed on HN. And I see a lot of leftists on HN that are surprised that this is the case. Why is that? The question - and only question - should be what David Simon asks: are

For a leftist like Piers Morgan, it was a complete embarrassment to have a low-information voter asking ignorant questions when Mike Rowe just completely schooled her. I think your typical university is in panic mode right now. In 10-15 ye

This is what happens when you give a bunch of leftist/statists that dominate school systems security power. These statist so-called educators see themselves as quasi-government officials. It's sickening, but this is what people v

Have you ever remapped Esc to Cap Lock?

Not even close. Intellij is more of a platform than just a Java IDE these days. They're busy at work on Kotlin, and still have all the other languages and frameworks to work on. Great job Jetbrains. Although I'm primarily a .NET

Wrong. There are choices and not everybody is spastically out of control like apparently you would be for a few stitches. You people have such a hard time with simple concepts, such as an ideologically disagreement on the role of government

I picked up a couple Korean 27" 1440ps for the desktop for around $300 and loving them. They're even overclockable.

Because of Clojure's dynamic typing and idiomatic use of lots of nested expressions it turns out to be a read-only language for me. Scala seems to have a huge image problem. I think part of the problem is that Odersky and crew have ne

So it's not really the ideology that is the problem, but the implementation of the ideology. We've seen this before. "Communism hasn't really been tried before". It's pretty sickening the number of people on H

Don't worry. You'd be better off using a normal text editor anyway. GTK+ is flaky on non Linux/BSD systems. They should note what some of the OpenDylan folks are doing and write a plugin for Intellij.

C# is in high demand in many cities around the country.

by mortyseinfeld 13y ago
C# is basically Java with some minor differences That's absolutely not true, and everybody that has programmed in both languages know that's not true.

by mortyseinfeld 13y ago
Care to explain?

by mortyseinfeld 13y ago
Agreed, and in my primary language, C#, these days I would rather just write static classes with static methods and pass in other static methods instead of messing around with interfaces all the time. I write ASP.NET MVC so I don't u

Ever since I started playing around with Java (or even earlier with C++) having data co-mingled with functions has never felt right to me. It just never seemed very extensible to me, especially in a language like Java. Even in C# where yo

You talk a lot about the "christian right", and I would agree with you on this particular case, but the "socialist left" is far more intrusive in our lives than the "christian right" is. Get the government out

No kick in the pants because 99.99% of people don't care.

by mortyseinfeld 13y ago
Yeah, this is what happens when people defer to government authority as a consequence of looking to government to solve all their problems. This leftist shift will only make the situation worse.

Yeah, obviously statists don't refer to themselves as statists. You leftists hate the term obviously, but his definition was pretty accurate. And you're wrong about only anarchists using that term. But I find your minarcho-capit

by mortyseinfeld 13y ago
These are "assumptions" that almost zero real people actually assume. No, that's pretty much the default assumption of the statist. It sounds like you just don't like the term.

it's simply the case that my “personal” preferences correspond with reality and safety more closely than do theirs. A priori, it would be better if they conformed to my expectations; anything less than awareness and deference to the l

It's unfortunate that people are working so hard on Kotlin, when it cannot contribute anything new or interesting, by its very nature. Maybe you can think outside of yourself for once and consider that your uses cases or personal pre
