I don't mind the earphones, but often headsets are entirely impractical. Most notably, in the case of any sort of weather, wind, etc. A phone can also get rained on, but its a bit easier to keep safe. The other reason they are mostly i

I understand your distinction I think...however the parent comment (about abolishing citizenship) is still (on the face of it) advocating anarchy. Degrees of citizenship must exist always, even when the "official" line is that non

How so? A government must have those it governs, those must be then members of the set of people whom it governs. You can call it something besides "citizenship", but maybe we're talking about different terms, or you have a m

So....you're into anarchy? Sorry to say, discriminatory behavior is fairly common in anarchic systems (see, evolution, mating impulses). You need a bit of discrimination in order to not discriminate. Don't like it? Rewrite the law

This is like saying your neighbors siding is off color while your own is falling off and the framing is rotting. Both are problems with siding, one is far more serious than the other. I'm not a fan of Java, but cpp people being disinge

I think it is a separate study whether developers find it easier to actually use, things like environments being equal. I remember another study which showed that actually, most computer programmjng languages today are objectively terrible

Eh? Default queue implementations come with co-operating queuing out of the box. I suppose you could use some hand-rolled queue with no internal locking, but this is disingenuous. > you'll have race conditions or no cooperative queu

This is why I saw microservices are "closer to the metal", i.e. they depend more on the physical characteristics of their environment than non-microservices. A function call in a monolith can: * segfault * be called with the

If the code work/it's tested, review is for sanity checking/looking for obvious bugs. Anything else is un-needed grooming that's more about the other developer's ego, not about good code (sometimes its to follow som

Depends who you are, mostly the ones making the decisions aren't usually listening to their developers (maybe by choice maybe because they are at the whim of a customer), so their cost functions are calibrated towards course changing b

To be fair the problem is that its not baked into the language. If you have to do X,Y,Z to get A done, then you'll do X,Y,Z. If your language gives you a shortcut and now you can get away with X,Y then you'll drop Z. And even if y

AWS Lambdas and OSGI invocations are the same thing! (Except one costs you money and one doesn't, guess which one is easier to use).

Functionally its the same stuff. Both have boxes of stuff and the stuff talks to other stuff. Logistically its a bit easier to scale the one where the boxes are married to closer to the hardware abstraction (microservices on instances) vers

Large size dvd drives also work today. But again, still need power and a computer/interface etc. Mesh network + reader device partially solves some of those issues, but it doesn't remove the need for fancy setups just to be able t

If you could build a physical book that had e-reader pages (and took no power to read), that would solve some of the issue(s) both have. Its nice that you have a stack of books, but I also don't really want a stack of books even in tin

Absolutely. Or even, the power in the laptop or the fuel cells in your battery in your laptop. Digital is a great transmission format but a ridiculously lousy archive one.

Nope. Libraries are archiving physical stuff. Digital stuff is pretty hit-or-miss. Worse, digital stuff is owned by a monopoly that's actively making it harder to find or get anything online, when it is made available to libraries at a

I don't think you read the article and are probably new at life, or just out of touch. Microwaves should last for decades, this is the same type of thing that you may have heard your parents complain about "I had a can opener that
