The effect will be to raise housing costs because that profits people who invest in houses. Voters want to get a job, borrow to buy a house, then sell it at a huge gain so they can retire early. U.S. voters are just like those in Canada,

Looks like the U.S. is now copying what Canada, Australia, and New Zealand started doing around 1990. Not only do they get the international education dollars, but they also get their residential property market going up again, with the flo

I like the dice with numbers instead of dots on them. It would be cool if the 6 and the 9 were indistinguishable and the thrower could choose either value!

But will Gradle's "software model" be compatible with Java 9's? Gradle's already incompatible in that it uses Apache Groovy instead of Java 8 for build config files.

Don't let your experience with Apache Groovy put you off upgrading to a new JVM language. I learnt Clojure after using Groovy for a few years -- Groovy 1.8 was the last version I used. I then looked at Haskell, and now I'm using G

Apache Groovy is really for those quick'n'dirty scripts manipulating and testing Java classes -- that's its original use case. Later it added a MOP so Grails, a knock-off of Rails, would work, though Grails use is fast waning

Apache Groovy used to have the === operator in its earliest versions, but dropped it in favor of using a custom .is() method. The meaning of == is different to its use in Java, catching out many -- "happy" is not the word I'd
