As a user of it, I appreciate that I've been able to use it on three different OS's with minimal adjustment, which Java facilitates more so than other languages, especially other languages which would be reasonable candidates for

Thompson was not saying the devs are incompetent. The dichotomy he made was that either the devs are incompetent or there is something else going on, and then proceeds to delineate what that "something else" is. And while he does

Having worked in a couple different large Java projects, there are certainly tradeoffs to both sides: make too many things immutable and you will not end up in a happy place GC-wise. And add the requisite "it depends on the project&quo

Maybe I miss your meaning but on OS X/chrome: cmd-shift-T to reopen the last window with all tabs. Works even after a chrome restart. Saves me when 40 tabs open and I Cmd-Q for too long instead of Cmd-W.

Caitie McCaffrey gave a talk on this subject at GOTO Chicago 2015 [1], refreshing the 'Saga Pattern' for a distributed environment. Short summary, IIRC: 1) Use a linearizable data store to store transaction metadata 2) Each step

That is (generally) not how it works. HFTs rent rack space in which to insert machines that they themselves build, own, and maintain. The code never leaves the network/property of the company in usual circumstances.

My approach when I find myself wanting to test private methods is often to extract a new class, for which the methods under question form the public interface (working with Java here).

Once the merge commit occurs, the 'messy real work' is now part of the main branch's history just as much as the rest of the commits, as they are ancestors of that merge commit.

Depending on specific versions of dependencies should also handle that, without needing to check in all dependencies. This is the approach generally taken when using Maven and related tools.

The implicit assumption as far as I can tell is that you, as "nasty business owner", are making much more than 50 cents of margin on your employees' hourly labor and that minimum wage hikes will make you eat that cost. I hav

Perhaps Joe Biden being vice-president was the tipping point. He is an egregious violator, using 'literally' to amplify how much he means 'figuratively.'

I've watched a good number on YouTube. They are generally longer-form, and get into some more detail. I find them quite enjoyable, but I think you may be disappointed if you go in expecting a lot more depth. I don't think you w

I suggest you watch it. I enjoy his show but most of his stances are decently predictable (and I generally disagree with). This is one that surprised me.

You put it well, and most people in this thread (including GP) seem in violent agreement. In short: static methods are easy to test, methods using static methods (whether static or not) are more difficult to test. My takeaway: the bar for m

At first I thought this was to track development of git itself. Something I would be interested in, not that there aren't avenues to do so. Related anecdote: about 3 years ago, I was interviewing a student for an internship. In passin

My impression is that most all developers have their own office at MS, or at least share an office with 1-2 other devs (not sure if this is different inside bing teams or not either) Has this 'more-hats' change you describe (speci
