To be fair, Java existed before a lot of modern standards and its primary goals were to be fully object-oriented (because every project manager was convinced that this was the best…

I am not saying I agree with it, just pointing out that some organizations consider long-term viability as a key component to these kinds of decisions. Just because a fork exists d…

My relatively conservative organization would never choose a new Linux distribution to replace CentOS, especially not one with a cheeky name. CentOS has a long track record and is …

I can’t imagine working on software that could have such potentially disastrous financial consequences, so kudos to you and all of the developers who do this kind of work.

That’s a good catch. I’d there any way to tell which version of SQLite created the file? Aside from trial and error, I mean?

I also moved from org to Notion and have mixed feelings about it. Notion is an amazing platform. In some ways, it’s revolutionary, but everything I store in Notion feels... haphaza…

Let's not forget that worse is better. Electron is worse in almost every conceivable way; therefore, it is better.

Do these kinds of attacks usually have a motive?

Do you assume that the listener is incapable of challenging the guest? Just because Rogan doesn’t correct all of his guests absurdities doesn’t mean they go unchecked. After listen…

Remarkable story. It's amazing how closed-minded "experts" can be. I suspect there are many conditions that will eventually be understood thanks to the hard work of people who appr…

That's very well said. Consciousness isn't a "thing" to be discovered, it's a process. It's only visible when a variety of "things" are functioning in harmony. It's like asking whi…

I’ve been using DSG exclusively for about a year now and I've had the opposite experience: I've been amazed at how relevant the results have been. Occasionally, when struggling to …

It's interesting how differently developers respond to languages and their ecosystems. While I don't love Java, i think it's fine. The documentation is very good and interoperabili…

What about Windows? Is urandom available via MSYS/Cygwin/WSL and is its behavior consistent?

When I was 11 years old I was looking at a bit of code in a magazine and, being curious to know what it did, I booted up my parents' old IBM PC. I typed GWBASIC.EXE into the comman…

She is listed in the physics section.

The text of You Might Not Need jQuery says the following: > If you're developing a library on the other hand, please take a moment to consider if you actually need jQuery as a depe…

I can't speak for anyone else but I certainly have never bought an Apple product to prove I can afford it. In emerging markets -- where the average buyer can't afford more than a c…

Vala really is a remarkable engineering achievement that is highly underrated. I can only imagine what could be possible if Vala had mindshare similar to Python.

Not disagreeing but it's interesting that you'd lump Java in with Javascript and Python. Java certainly has its problems but it's considerably faster and more efficient than both.

But the reason for intervention isn't just "risks" but the decimation of an uncontested population due to disease caused by a previous intervention. In other words, it seems as tho…
