Java is used for a lot of integration problems, of course it has a thing for abstractions and interfaces.

It is just human nature actually. Just like only X% of programmers really "get" recursion, only (X/10)% really like/feel OOP and abstract thought in general.

It goes both ways. I've seen beautiful abstractions that make a lot of sense, a la DDD that saved companies a lot of money. I've seen a senior architect almost shed a tear when I told him I loved the way he used the Bridge Desig

Cargo cult. One interface per one concrete class. It drove me nuts, it still drives me nuts that we are still having debates about it in 2020.

You are just describing every IDF soldier ever? They routinely kill and maim palestinian teenagers with 0 consequences, so there must be a huge part of society that agrees with such ideas that they are able to do so with impunity.

Meanwhile I met my family for 2 hours, I started having a fever and immediately quarantined myself to another location. I told them to open all the windows of the flat, they didn't take me seriously. They all got COVID-19 from me.

It would be so nice if those people could have access to a coctail of synthetic antibodies that gave some protection to covid-19, the flu and others. Or perhaps a generic antibody that protects against most viruses(unlikely, given such an

What is "long covid"? People experiencing long term symptoms? I can believe that, my tinnitus after covid-19 is still there, even if I don't notice it as much. Actual viral infection? I really doubt that, thoug perhaps it c

Knights and aristocracy held their power through force, so there is no question that knights could overwhelmingly defeat peasants. However, what is often missed in the depictions of peasants is that they were much stronger than modern folk,

Covid would be over if everybody used a properly fitted respirator. I stayed at home even before symptoms, I infected 3 adults and my daughter in my house. It was only luck that the adults showed symptoms like myself on day 3 and day 3 was

I really like zolpidem and other substances. I almost never took them for more than 3 consecutive days. I still have a lot of zolpidem laying around and don't take it, because I know the brain gets uses to them and the magic is gon

Could we do the same for ticks?

Why do you need to put those neutrons in a fission reactor? Neutrons would still be absorbed and produce heat. Is it because those neutrons damage the reactor structure?
650.
by raducu 6y ago
Why would it not be economic? After the first reactor, do we expect building a replica, without all the R&D costs would be significantly more expensive than a standard nuclear reactor? To me, 10x the energy sounds really good.

by raducu 6y ago
I read some article that the distortions at 10.000km from the merger would be ~1mm, so you could feel them, but not be harmed by them. In contrast, if all that energy was released as EM waves, you'd be cooked from far, far away. Such p

Billions of light years? I thought the energy would be too faint, but given they found tens of mergers, it makes sense its actually billions, I don't suppose there are that many black hole mergers in our galaxy in this timeframe.

I'm not saying it is incorrect, but the emergent theory of self-awareness is a bit hand-wavy. Surely a primitive man could say an airplane flying is an emergent property of the airpland, like Aristotle said about many things? I was jus

Complex is a very tricky question. I think people already simulated a worm's neural nets, but we simulated just high level abstractions of what those "simple", 200 neuron networks are. Sure, by simulation tickling part of t

1) The issue of what perceptions "actually" are will be impossible to answer because qualia are ireductible. Let me explain: you feel pain in your foot. As a scientist I cut your foot and you no longer feel pain in your foot. Or I

by raducu 6y ago
The problem with qualia, as I understand it, is that we can build machines that process images, and in the future let's say, can exceed what cat is capable of, but that machine will never actually have sensations. So there are two issu

No, it is not and you'll teach your child some very bad lessons for the future. You should acknowledge and try to fulfill your emotional needs as well. I had a REALLY bad example in my mother who changed her mind multiple times about d
