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 things small and simple, but beyond a certain complexit

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 need. If you're doing anything on AWS, Amazon

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 give hard numbers to do the mat

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

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 morally superior.

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 nicely as long as your use case is "do this work on

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 stopped reading after that.

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 of how bad it was doesn't negate his resp

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 universal law of nature.' [0] = https:/&#x2

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 Linux, I've never looked back.

This came out the same year as the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" and at the 10 minute mark in the video they have a program "singing" the same song as HAL 9000 in the movie, "Daisy Bell". I wonder who inspired
