The only thing that you seem to be right about is the low level device control stuff. Everything else is pretty much already easy enough to do in Java. The language was designed with multithreading in mind.

Well, in all fairness, the same can be said about Visual Basic and all the <inser name here> .NET languages. And I'm not even a Windows programmer.

Thanks! (Not sure why the downvotes, it was an honest question.)

The way I read it, that concerns an attack by a single submarine. So what if there are a dozen or more enemy submarine. Is taking out a carrier for 2 or 3 subs a meaningful war exchange?

There actually is a law in France that forbids workers to check mail after hours. It's something :). "New French law establishing workers’ “right to disconnect” goes into effect today. The law requires companies with more than 50

Recently, I was working on an issue where our new frontend client was not receiving custom response headers from the server API. It turns out I had to expose headers first using 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' [0]. Neither me, nor

We've switched to on-premises MM from HipChat at the beginning of the year. I miss the video conf functionality of HipChat, but other than that I think MM was the right decision for us. Everyone on the team seems to be happy with it.

I tried using FF for a while on my MBP. I could hear the fans turning on after I open a 4th tab. What's up with that? I don't want to use Chrome, but FF seems so slow.

I'm dealing with an old code base in which methods tend to process exceptions by catching, logging and returning a null. The dev that wrote this code treated exceptions more like a rare-occurring annoyance rather than a signal for erro

As someone that uses both languages, I can't help but think that the OpenJDK will (hopefully) start implementing much of the Kotlin paradigms. Perhaps at some point Java & Kotlin would not differ too much. Let's see what the 6

As others have mentioned, as I grow older I play less games. However, I recently purchased an adventure games bundle [0] for the iPad and I've been playing for a couple of hours every night for the past few weeks. There's no IAP o

Well I'll be! It really works. [1] Joke aside, I really enjoy both of these projects. It's fascinating that you can put a story behind every "fake" face. 1 - https://havetheyfaked.me/u/f/7b8ec51

Ok, serious question. What happens if there're days when you go out with people and get in bed at 2AM? Do you still get up at 5AM? Doesn't that mess up your body for days after?

Yep, I'm familiar with Schneier's comments. I still find the whole thing funny though. For example, services like Viber seem to have 260 mil. active monthly users [1] which is a tad more than Telegram's 200 mil. on monthly ba

This hits close to me as a possible reason why I could never get good at solving geometry problems, solid geometry especially. Most problems would be trivial when one assumes specific preconditions, but my mind was always wandering around,

As far as I know, Peterson's diet is actually his daughter's diet [1]. She claims it cured her from numerous diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and depression [2]. I have no idea how credible that is, but I'm just saying

Thanks a lot for the MIT OCW lectures hint! I want to do the same in 2019. What works for me in general is diving into a side project and learning by hacking, but I fear ML won't be susceptible to this approach.

I would not put philosophy in that list though. I've noticed those arguing about politics often add philosophers' quotes or ideas in their own vague arguments.

I've setup Jira (on premise) at my workplace myself. Runs behind an nginx reverse proxy and it is indeed pretty fast! We don't use much stuff and it's a bit older version 7.8, but I cannot complain so far.

Back in the old days my dad built his Lada himself. We could not really afford a new one, so he bought and collected parts including the chassis. Then, I think it took half an year or so between his job to assemble it together. With lots of
