I am afraid you are digressing. Oracle maintains and has rights for the language Java and Oracle JVM. Google has power over Android. codecamper isnt talking about what improvements current Java has or how how shitty the Android java is. IT

I code a lot in Go. I use Sublime Text mostly and this feels like an upgrade. Integration with Git, better plugins/support I am loving it.

What I got from the thread: efivars are NVRAM registers for UEFI and are mounted on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars and doing rm -rf clears/deletes them. And they are required for booting. Is this correct ?

Google has announced free Wi-Fi at 100 railway stations in India. I think it does something similar in other countries (and there is Google Fibre). It is just a start but more sensible than what facebook chose to do. Now this is what I thin

Correct me if I am wrong but Spark does not use JNI for Python. It uses py4j to allow Python programs to access Java Objects. All the core functionality is implemented in Scala/Java. py4j uses sockets to communicate. See https:/&

Both languages you suggest require more learning (both have origins in academia) and are less popular compared to Go in usage. Regarding the package management comment. If it is an experiment let results get in. Some people consider vendori

I agree that that the statements cannot be analogues. But then I never implied it. My answer was only to counter the statement that JavaScript is the assembly language, in future WebAssembly will likely take that role. Then I continued on m

Javascript would be the assembly language of web i.e. what runs on your browser. Although that won't be true with the advent of Webassembly. Go is language of choice on cloud. If you ask me following is the checklist it passes: 1. Low

The middle mouse paste (select to copy) in Ubuntu makes it even more seductive. In many occasions I have accidentally pasted code into my terminal window and many times without even knowing (debugging phantom menaces). I have started using

My take on the points mentioned: 1. Goroutine memory use - Post happens to be about 1.2 and 1.4 and I started with 1.5. 2. Debugging - yes handling errors are a bit tedious. I have not written much boilerplate to handle errors. I just copy

Why Google ? Why leave India ? I want to buy chromecast but not the old one.

Agree with you. Another thing I would stress on is the price constraint. Don't forget that Nexus 5 was said to be a high-end phone but 200$ cheaper. Given a price to stick to, it is very difficult to improve the specs substantially to

It was surprising. Jackfruit is available even in a city like Delhi. I fondly remember feasting on sweet jackfruit at my grandparents place when I was younger. I would say it is a popular native fruit. I am skeptical about the 75 % wastage

I have one question, are the buildings generated randomly or is there any algorithm that generates which building goes where. The generation is like the urban version of "No man's Sky".

I also want that, the side-by-side comparison specially. The follow up discussions are also helpful, someone mentioned about C5.0 I didn't know about. There are lot of algorithms/steps pieces that are needed when solving the machi

You can create vivid unimaginable universes/superstructures with such detail just by changing some parameters. Planets, space stations, cities, forest, ocean, I can only say what else. The fractals I have seen in the video outnumber th
