German has both of those.

During downtime between 2 jobs, I used to look at different languages for like half a day each, just to see what they did differently compared to the ones I already knew. I was mos…

This prevents dynamically created queries using lifetimes. It does not search for ' characters.

Process modeling requires some reading up front, I think. Integration into our application was relatively easy - activities implemented as Java classes with a reasonably good API. …

Our system is based on the Camunda process engine (in a Java EE environment). There's a central process server (or cluster) running the process engine, with events to start process…

None of course, but I think that's the point of the complaint. For a feature supposed to increase convenience, it didn't go as far as it could have. Still, I'm glad var is in there…

For a company, yes. Individual license is much cheaper, but the devs need to pay for it themselves.

While this is technically true, the fourth one is basically on life support. I wouldn't expect to find software or even many websites using it.

In case anyone is still reading this and is interested: http://www.enterprisedb.com/postgres-plus-edb-blog/marc-lins... shows that as well.

It's not quite infinite, I think. Each of the stat bonuses is limited to 50 levels IIRC, so there is an effective limit of 800 paragon levels (16 stats * 50 levels each - would tak…

To 1: If you alter the contents, it's hash would change, thus it's address would change, if I understood correctly.

http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/time/gps/usno-gps-time-transfe... says: "The GPS epoch is 0000 UT (midnight) on January 6, 1980." So no, gps time is not defined before 1980.

I realize that this not related to the topic of the post at all, but... why on earth would you (try to) make a pun and then add "(Haha, get it?)" at the end? At least for me, that …

A coffee brake? Yes, please. (in the screenshot)

What's funny is that it performs better than many "pure" NoSql alternatives. I remember an issue on github, where the poster said they replaced mongodb with postgres and increased …

I personally never understood why java has built in types vs. reference types. Why should I care, instead of just letting the compiler handle that for me?

I agree with most of your post. I don't think the license was valid for the laptop/roaming, however ("roaming usage is not covered by CERN's AllSIM licence").

Uh... Neat?

Yes. Guessing the correct key by chance doesn't give you the (necessary) information that the key was correct, because any number of other keys results in correct-looking messages.…

"Merges with upstream by automatically accepting local changes" For some reason, this scares me. Is there more info on that somewhere?

Most programmers I've met are not in fact regex "literate". They may be able to write one, but understanding what one does, or even modifying it? Well... So yeah, black box.

There might also be the small problem of actually building the fusion engine first. I don't think that's something we're really able to do right now, is it?

I think the first section confuses a couple of things. First, a program can be compiled (static) or interpreted (dynamic) as stated in the article. However, that does not mean that…
