Another disguising of class related issues as generational to keep the impoverished fighting among themselves.

For too many aspects for my liking, Go moves complexity out of the language and into your code where you get to unavoidably deal with the cognitive load. It's fine if you can keep …

False dichotomy.

I'm not sure about a single leading OpenJDk build. It may depend on your use case, and even then, I suspect that they're all pretty interchangeable unless you have some very niche …

More experience does generally make people better at their jobs.

Unsurprising. I'm not sure much has changed since this recording of Bruce Bugbee's talk "Why Vertical Farming Won't Save the Planet". There's nothing surprising there but he does g…

Yes and for other reasons as well.

That's a very slanted way of phrasing "abusing executive powers".

Nice senseless phrasing, but there is no consumer boycott that is illegal.

The world would be better off without McKinsey[0]. 0 = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKinsey_%26_Company#Controver...

I think the most similar you'd find for Java are Shiro [0], Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) [1], and pac4j [2]. 0: https://shiro.apache.org/ 1: https://docs.or…

I'm sure Justin Sun's purchase of $30 million in crypto tokens from World Liberty Financial has nothing to do with it.

This is an absurd false dichotomy. You can pick fruits from the wilderness and not get mauled by bears. Using apps not in walled gardens has nothing to do with attempts to feel mor…

Why not just let candidates use AI like they would at work and design your interview test questions around that?

I agree 100%. Virtual threads have drawn a lot of skepticism but even Rust once had a version with them. They enable the strong structuted concurrency patterns. Async/await works n…

I just played it on Firefox on Linux just fine.

> Everyone has a price, Speak for yourself.

The first case should reduce to a Record for Java. They give no examples of where Kotlin's extra type inference is of benefit. They don't compare virtual threads to coroutines. I s…

Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal was satire. Are you suggesting Naoki Hyakuta's comment was as well? I haven't read it that way. And just because he prefixed it with a disclaimer o…

Agree 100%. I recently found that Kant had pretty much introduced this concept as categorical imperative[0]: 'Act as if the maxims of your action were to become through your will a…

Another post from this author also appeared on HN recently[0]. What he so eloquently writes I have definitely experienced at more than one of my past large enterprise employers. Es…

Switched to linux when they EOLed Windows 7 (slowly migrated my workflow over in advance using Linux distros in a VM). Couple that with how good Valve has made Windows gaming on Li…

That's an awfully cynical take to call Linux desktop a dumpster fire.
