Java has maven, and is far from immune from similar types of attacks. However, it doesn't have the technological monstrosity named NPM. In fact that aforementioned complexity is/was an asset in raising the bar, however slightly, i

And the whole rest of the Internet... The issue here is not Java or it's complexity. The point is also not Java, it's incidental that it was popular at the time. It's people acting irrationally about things and jumping ship f

I found it funny back when people were abandoning Java for JavaScript thinking that was better somehow...(especially in terms of security) NPM is good for building your own stack but it's a bad idea (usually) to download the Internet.

I think this is definitely some weird attempt to justify a terrible piece of technological junk.... For all the hate people gave CSS, it was/is fantastic at its job. Word documents are an example of how you don't design a document

Your grandma is not the target of state level spy rings... The noise made about security is absolutely ridiculous.

Agreed. Qt, for all it's flaws, focused on cross platform. Despite getting sold/resold nearly to oblivion, it had a commercial end (some paying customers), and so it received a level of polish that gtk just never did. Not to menti

This is the problem inherent in web dev I suspect. JS developers thought they reached the zenith of programming because they had a type system and could realize some gains via strong typing checks applied to what would otherwise be network

That might explain why their software never took off to the same extent that the US's did, despite having been leaders in the hardware space. You can of course "just program" the same way you can "just build" a car

Didn't there use to be a physical read lock on SD cards? I know "modern" cards have no space, but if it's important to you, you can still use the full size adapters which should (all?) have the physical lock. Super glue

I'd be interested in the specific commands/spec too, however as with all DRM techs I wouldn't be surprised if it's hidden behind NDAs. However you can see from the parent comment: > Success of mutual authentication en

Care to elaborate? I'm sure there's a lot of poorly tested code I use, that doesn't mean I want to use it. :) In fact, I see a lot of broken things in the wild, frequently.

I went (10 years ago) JetBrains because of emacs. Back then, they were the Kool Kid in town that made emacs-style functionality more accessible. More and more they've become just another IDE with too-much-to-do. Still one of (the?) bes

I find even this incredibly stingy... Back of the envelope: 10 4 3*1000000000 / (1023^3) 10 4 byte characters times 3 billion links, dividing by 1 GB of memory... Roughly 111 GB of RAM. Which is like nothing to a search giant. To put t

Ick. I mind that it's written in c++ less, than that their forum for feedback seems to be twitter, and they are trying to adopt swift as their language... Hard pass.

Yes, and so you should always assume every (large) company is lying through it's teeth as hard as it can, because it is in their best interest to confuddle the consumer as much as possible... It's not ideaology to want things to w

It was buried towards the bottom of the article, but the reason, to me: Clients can be almost automatic with a HATEOS implementation, because it is a self describing protocol. Of course, Open API (and perhaps to some extent now AI) also mea

Both of which are improvements not unique to even the past 10 years - even if you only recently experienced these improvements, that merely makes you "late adopters". You can have personal improvement, and you can continue to reap

I have a suspicion managers will become redundant sooner than tech workers, although certain big CEOs love to try to say otherwise... (wonder why...). An (good) AI manager is far more efficient than any human manager, and doesn't need

Being able to see was more evolutionary pertinent to us. Same with smell... Animals that can hear extremely well (owls for instance) rely on this trait to be able to survive. It's always been more important to us to be able to see vers

Perhaps one advantage that even deaf people might not appreciate - being at "peace". There are many who can hear who crave little or no sound. Being unable to hear is a (semi?) permanent mute button. No noise, just your thoughts a

It's more than that (not deaf either) - if suddenly there is a new therapy to grow a third eye in the back of your head, should you? Or should a fish be able to breathe without water? In both cases there are ways to function without fu

I can imagine grumpy an old man frustrated by a different paradigm shouting at his computer. We all become that eventually, hopefully we can all be as poetic and humble (and honest) about it.
