I argue it was the collection wars and few new books after the dust settled. You can't have the community split over which List implementation to use. Especially now when picking one side locks you into for the rest of that projects li

I've been banging this drum lately on HN too. Spring Boot makes Java fast, easy, and simple. Yes, you still have to install a JVM on your image, but there are plenty of management script out there to get a container or VPS running. For

What you do see is people abandoning the "prototype languages". At least twice a year HN has a story where some company dropped Python, Ruby, etc. in favor for Java. They didn't just port to the VM for Jython or JRuby. They r

No, OP said that it would be a waste to not use the meat from such animals. To the child of that person's comment, there is a presumption that a non-poisonous method was used such as hammer or bolt-gun.

Try Northrup Grumman or the like as a sub. If you've got special skills, you can probably work 20 hours a week for about 80k a year.

I find Spring to be great. I grant that I've used it since 2.0, but really it does everything quickly, easily, and is well documented. Especially with Spring Boot. I'm writing a core service in Go because Java 9 broke a Maven plug

I thought the US just added anti-dumping levies. If so, the price wouldn't reflect that change yet. As to the coal, fair point.

I could have missed it, but does this take into account subsidies provided by the Chinese government?

I sympathize and agree with your general points. I do wonder about the general idea that there is nothing you can do. People can get bus fare for $1 [1]. They can scrounge money from people they know or total strangers to get more. They can

I haven't tried it, but that goes against the grain of gRPC. I understand it as an integration point between legacy REST and gRPC. I don't know, and from what I've read, wouldn't use it for greenfield development. The on

As a believer in Jesus, I agree. Within the larger atheistic framework of the world, who or what are these authorities of which you speak? There are no moral absolutes in such a world. Heck, look at the Bill of Rights. It's predicated

Has anyone found a good resource on using gRPC directly in a JS client? I've looked at using gRPC. My current challenge is that I want to support a website/webgateway on one side and mobile gateway on the other. If I use Swift or

You're absolutely right. Auth0 shows that when compressed, protobufs don't provide a great benefit vs JSON. Something I've read from others is that gRPC is not the easiest thing to use directly in SPA. If you have services ex

That doesn't matter. I've worked in large insurance companies that had SQL procs, Java, and Old Cobol. They had over 1k IT employees across the country. Sure there are odds and ends in bash, but bulk of the core business systems w

Give then context of the conversation I think the company was limited to one team or perhaps a few. Even within a larger company multiple languages limits the effectiveness of Human Resources. You can't as easily move people between te

The more languages you have the more you have to know just to know what the software knows. This makes things hard. Heck jumping from what I call back end languages like Go to Java to C# requires a mental switch if you've been doing on

The US didn't think of itself as a country until after the civil war. Even once the Federal government took power, individuals aligned more with their state than their State. As to the EU having a military? They're getting there w

I don't think the states should have much power over this particular market. Insurance definitionally crosses state bounds. If I get in a car accident in Kentucky, Florida blue still pays my bills. This is clearly a federal commerce cl

They should have rolled them all up into the EU. It infuriates me that no one does. Not for crime reports. Not for economic reports. The media doesn't do it right.

While not necessarily so, they do seem to have are strong causal relationship. The more innovative an economy, the more economic freedom it has.

The EU is a confederation. They need to be considered as a block now. Don't look at Germany. Look at the EU.

Fair point. Poor wording on my part. Given the way the ranking under discussion values tertiary education and given how much the Soviets had them but didn't succeed economically, is having a high number of them really beneficial? It ta

Is this a race to the bottom? 19 cities won’t get any tax revenue by definition. The one that gets the building will probably wave taxes so it’s getting the same amount of direct tax revenue as it was before namely 0. So the city does get
