Strike price is estimated through 409a valuation, which is typically very conservative and considerably lower than the fair market value of the stock, which is frequently less than the evaluation made by investors.

Why is it such a problem to make discrete cards less power hungry instead of powering them down and switching to internal GPU?

Cassandra is not limited to use cases that need to scale-out, but it also excells at stuff that needs to be always-on, regardless of data size. Sure, you can do many nice things with data in memory or on a midsize USB key, but when your cen

How is it a breaking change? It is pretty straightforward to write an automated tool to convert one syntax into another one.

It is objective measure - it may not be a perfect metric, but definitely objective. If there are more issues relative to the number of programmers this means there are either more bugs, users have more questions, and/or just more featu

Scala has no operator overloading. You cannot blame language on somebody picking bad method names. There are plenty of bad names in Java and Kotlin libraries as well. > an overly complex type system It is only as complex as it has to be

Scala does all the features of Kotlin equally well, not half good. Actually Kotlin inherited a few bad ideas from Scala as well - which Scala already dropped like procedure syntax. And some features like null handling or coroutines in Kotli

You can write a forum post. And then you'll get confirmations from another 100 developers, so you'll definitely feel a bit better and not alone in your pain. ;)

Actually Kotlin is just Scala dumbed down by taking out the most powerful and interesting features like higher kinds, implicits, monads or macros. Which makes it just a Java 8 with a bit nicer syntax.

I also encountered way more IDE bugs in Scala than in Java. Actually during the full last year of development of a real-world commercial Scala project I encountered 0 bugs in Java and 2 bugs in Scala. What about more objective measures? Sca

Scala IDE support is bad? What IDE are you using? I find IDE support in IDEA almost on par with that of Java. It is very fast, has accurate error highlighting, very good smart autocomplete, understands advanced Scala features, supports mos

Without versioning they were almost useless anyway. They don't solve the major problem: diamond dependency hell.

Wait, wat? Are you using bitmap fonts? Scaling of vector fonts in modern desktop systems doesn't work that way. Scaling is done before rasterization, and you would get perfectly sharp edges with 250% scaling.

I seriously doubt this. People do care if their car gets stolen. Unfortunately most (if not all) built-in electronic systems for protecting modern cars from being stolen are crap and thieves somehow get around them. Many of these systems (e

You can often make the failure probability extremely low, like 1e-30. Then it is more likely the server performing the test would break than the test fails due to a chance.

Oh, so "Scala / C++ is too complex" again. Many people say that, but most can't name even a single thing that should be removed.

Quite the opposite. Scala is a language designed around a very small core of very powerful, and sometimes hard-to-grasp features like implicits or higher-kinded types. It is a different language than Java and was not designed to replace Jav

That's why there should be a limit on the costs that are returned by the loser, based on the average estimation. In Poland there is no point in spending absurdly, because you won't get anything over the limit back, regardless of w

Yes, your idea is even better than what we have in Poland. In Poland we basically have "loser pays" but the legal costs returned by the loser are limited by law and typically depend on the type of the case and the amount of money
