Criticizing tools is excellent. Deciding about their benefits and limitations, learning about when to use them and when not to use them. Sharing experiences so people can make better choices. Criticism in this way is rare though. Bashing a language to be cool, be part of the hip crowd, make you feel better about your own choices, bashing languages for karma or laughs, bashing languages you have no experience in compa…

>learning about when to use them and when not to use them. Learning never to use them is just as legitimate. "A place for everything and everything in its place" isn't a law of physics, it's a battle-cry for the obsessive compulsive.

"Learning never to use them is just as legitimate."

Indeed! I would from my experience not use Z80 assembler - though I like it much more than 6502 - and CP/M as an OS for a social media website.

I have the gut feeling though that your comment might be about Java, which might not be warranted. The last company I've worked for makes >$200M in profit a year and will be sold soon for >$1b - based on a Java platform. The next company I worked for was skyrocketing and sold for $200M - based on a Java platform. Both profited from good performance, stability and GC maturity during high periods of growth and load and a good pool of developers during peak hiring times.

But then we might differ in our goals and evaluation criteria, mine is about getting things done to support a business in a sustainable way.

I would just name it Java.update() and leave it there. These people are trying too hard. They probably turn off the average geeks (who find it too geeky); and the hard-core geeks just tear them apart with all of the semantic and syntactic errors.

Yeah, they're not gonna sell any copies if they try too hard with their obscure language parodies on that one street in the game.

It doesn't feel like it's enterprise enough to be realistic. class TwoBaconRashersInsideTwoSlicesOfBreadFactory { /* Make a sandwich * * Construct a foodstuff consisting of two slices * of bread with two slices of bacon. * @return TwoBaconRashersInsideTwoSlicesOfBread a sandwich */ Public TwoBaconRashersInsideTwoSlicesOfBread getSandwich () { BaconRasherFactory pig = new BaconRasherFactory(); BaconRasherInstance baco…

Hmm... how about... @Service public class SandwichFactoryImpl implements SandwichFactory { @Autowired public EmptySandwichFactory emptySandwichFactory; @Autowired public FoodComponentFactoryFactory foodComponentFactoryFactory; @Override public Sandwich makeSandwich(Collection foodComponentDescriptions) { Sandwich sandwich = emptySandwichFactory.newSandwich(); for (FoodComponentDescription foodComponentDescription : f…

This is much more inspired. I sort of feel sympathetic, because of the potential mental anguish you were likely to have incurred while writing it.

I've looked and looked for ages about how to turn that preview off... I don't think so.

In your settings file: "show_minimap": false Or, choose Hide Minimap from the View menu.

Shows how I shouldn't just depend on google to solve my problems for me. I searched for something like "turn off preview" but I never made the connection that it was called minimap. It's only slightly annoying. Thanks!

He is not bashing Java per SE but a special kind of Java: Enterprise Java and IMO that deserves a bashing on general principle. Enterprise Java just never seems appropriate.

HN youngers of today like to bash Enterprise Java, whereas the old guys already have their share of scares from: Enterprise Clipper Enterprise C Enterprise C++ Enterprise Perl Enterprise TCL Enterprise insert language here You just need to let the enterprise architects loose...

I'm probably young enough to have experienced Enterprise PHP, which by all accounts (at least when Symfony2 was just released) seemed like the love-child of Enterprise C++ and Enterprise Java.

Let's run arbitrary code downloaded from somewhere I don't know! As root!

Did you read the linked Makefile?

1. The posted code could change between when you read it and when I read it.

2. If you just cut-and-paste these three lines, then you are obviously not reading it.

I'd heard that there were brutal scenes of torture in GTA V, but I had no idea.

There is one, and it's "brutal" if you have never seen an R-rated movie ...

In the context of a video game the scene has a very different effect than in the context of a movie. The game forces you to graphically torture an innocent man. Because you are selecting which torture methods to use, the player is personally implicated in the torture. I found the scene to be far more emotionally impactful than if I had watched the same scene played out in a movie. It's brutal more for how it makes you feel than for what it depicts.

Do you have any screenshots of this computer setup with vim?

I think the colors resemble more Sublime Text's default theme. Here, by the way: http://i.imgur.com/FYce2kD.jpg

that's monokai theme, originally used in Textmake back in 2006

That's why you have another line saying something like:

    cat Makefile
before blindly executing it. In general, you shouldn't blindly believe downloaded code, but in this case Makefile is simple enough that you can prove it's non harmful in a few second glance.

sudo make me a sandwich will result in sudo running with 'make me a sandwich' as arguments. 'sudo make me a sandwich' will result in 'sudo make me a sandwich' running.

Ah, yes. I didn't spot the quotations encapsulating the code in the parent post. That will teach me to skim-read jokes.

I like hilariously meta jokes.
