Java was designed to, and still delivers, rapid development. Is it possible for java developers to entangle their work through poor choices such that development becomes slow? Absolutely; the java ecosystem has accumulated a number of such

> Keep in mind ICEs lose range in winter as well. Yes, this talking point has been made enough times. What isn't said is the ICE range loss is trivially simple to overcome: buy fuel more frequently.

That weird tone is a 10 year old precedent they've never disowned. Now there is the science free collection of talking points plus a click bait headline. Perhaps it's not actually "weird." Look, may I actually say the t

I have a couple Rubbermaid baskets from the early 90's. I've wondered if they're still as well made now.

Well ok... the problem stops right there then. Why would anyone expect -- given the low adoption of IPv6 -- IPv6 sans NAT64 to be workable? Why even bother without it? I don't imagine it would be hard to locate any number of IPv6 zea

It's hard to beat ST's Discovery and Nucleo products. ST has been providing a large variety of low cost dev boards for their STM32 MCU line-up for over 8 years now. These dev boards host MCUs that are widely used in industry. S

> because you actually have to think about them. Ok friend, but right here in this blog post is contrary evidence. The supposed "actual CopyFile function" ignores errors from two deferred .Close()s at the io.Copy() call site.

Indeed. Also, this notion that Go makes one think about all the errors is false. What happens to the errors from all the "defer foo.CloseOrMaybeFailSomehow()" that get run on early return? Answer: they're ignored. Ignori
