Steam’s DRM “just works” and that’s why gamers don’t complain much about it. Also it’s the best way to play games under Linux. I have a few hundreds games in steam and while maybe one day I may lose access to all of them it’s a risk I am wi

The Silk Road was not directly selling drugs, it was only a marketplace where other sellers did it, and for this reason it was taken down. AFAIK selling a counterfeit item is a crime too, so shouldn’t Amazon be treated the same ? One could

I would like also a comparison with the String deduplication option ( XX:+UseStringDeduplication ). From what I understand it doesn't use String.intern but makes different instances share the same underlying char array so I am wonderin

We are talking about IoT devices where (hopefully) the company knows exactly what is installed and what not, so I don't think it is a big issue. There may still be conflicts to solve, but you can manage them when you prepare the deb pa

I disagree with point 1). The real problem is not that immutable references are inconvenient to use, but that you cannot mark the whole instance as read-only and get something similar to the const-correctness that you can achieve with C++.

Why not just return a 429 (Too Many Requests) if the specific repo has been requested by google not too long ago ? (e.g. 1 hour earlier or). It's a standard response code, and with a bit of luck google will scale the requests according

Java generics works only on reference types (i.e. anything that derives from Object), and not on primitive types like int and long. For this reason, if you want a method that work on both primitives and reference types, you have to provide

The example you provide has little to do with generics, but how inheritance works. In particular if you override a method in a derived class, you're allowed to return an instance of a more specific class (in your example, Bar is an Obj

You don't really need that much functionality, a copy-on-write filesystem with fine-grained access to historical data. Once you have that, you can easily access the old version of a file and that is probably 90% of the functionality t

If the automaker advertise a level of automation where I am not supposed to do anything while the car drives itself (which seems to be the case), of course I blame it in case of accident: what could I have done it to prevent it, except for

Even if it was the EU doing, it has nothing to do with demanding perfect instead of good. It's about blaming who/what is doing the actual driving when an accident happens. I think it's perfectly sensible. Put in another way,

Although not weird, my tip is to eat better and exercise more, and yes, I know that it's easier said than done. The first thing is that if possible you should try both: eating better makes it easier to exercise and exercising makes you
