The beaver dam and the story of reaching it is so cool especially as I'm loving playing Timberborn right now, but I wish journalists wouldn't insist on throwing deceptive claims about climate change into every possible story. It i

Gradle will put JARs on the module path if the app itself is a module. If JMODs were an extension to the JAR format rather than a new thing, and if there was no such thing as the module path (modules were determined by the presence of their

Yes and now compare to Asia... one of TSMC's complaints about how hard it is to run a top-tier fab in the USA is that Americans don't work as hard as Taiwanese people do. So compare Taiwan to Europe and imagine the gap!

This reply sums up the EU's root cause problem in a nutshell: it is still a much more left wing and socialist culture than America. You can see it in the article, where the author is at pains to stress that he's definitely not one

That's clearly not true. To take just one example, US states all exempt small businesses from dealing with sales tax until they cross a threshold even for foreign businesses. EU does not meaning that if you make even one single sale

Yes it's famously problematic. It's got better with time partly due to US based firms coming in and blanket offering lots of employees they hire there equity so tax authorities were forced to figure out their policies, but for exa

This analysis is good but it misses the deeper underlying problems. "Providerism" is sort of a tautological statement if you're talking about sectors in which Europe is a weak exporter (there are sectors in which it is a stro

It's irrelevant, you can get by with English for the basics in most parts of Europe unless you move to small villages. If that weren't true then the EU's obsession with freedom of movement would be pointless, because English

JavaFX doesn't use jmods, not really. Try following the tutorials for getting started and see for yourself: you end up using custom JavaFX build system plugins that download jar versions of the modules, not jmods. Also some alternative

But Java already has a cryptography stack (including TLS) in pure Java shipped as part of the JDK which has been maintained for years. So manpower isn't the issue, the problem is that Java code can't be easily used by anything els

But how is that connected to the concern expressed? Problem: If the JVM ecosystem starts to depend more on native code it gets less pleasant to work with. Answer: There is this command line flag that is used to activate the FFI. There doesn

It's so common it's practically a meme by now. Hollywood loves saying its customers are toxic sexists and racists. Sometimes they even explicitly say that people have a moral obligation to watch their movies. This article has a bu

The 2% rule USDS use is taken directly from GDS (gov.uk), so that isn't what your old employer's policy is at all. They have to define reasonable, after all.

How does it stem from his persona, and not your countries unions? Unions can break whole industries if they're allowed to, and have done many times in the past. It's not a threat unique to Tesla.

It's not like companies are in any way shy about that. They love to associate themselves publicly with left wing causes, even going as far as to tell customers who don't like it to fuck off. See Disney, large parts of the news bus
