Weirdly, nobody is complaining about the contrast. This might all seem crisp on a high-def screen in good lighting conditions, but try a cheap tablet or laptop and evaluate again. Elderly have tremendous problems reading the labels on the b

The task is complicated, since it asks for a constant choreography of the mind needing to remember to be mindful of what the body eats in a situation that is clouded by suppressed feelings regarding food. Untrained, the mind tries to consta

How would you render trees or (big) matrices? Recursive functions? Infinite lists? I'm upset because the method of discussion here seems to revolve around tainting the credulity of the author ("That you'd make such an argument indicates you

In peer-review, the original authors are redacted, so the peer-review committee's bias is reduced (not eliminated, of course). When a scientist is funded by the petrol industry, but has a long history of showing sound scientific results, I'

Thanks for the reference, I'll surely read it. [Pause] I've just read the first couple of chapters and it is most surely an enjoyable read. It brings the current discussion into a completely different light. Thanks again.

Eclipse needs a good amount of memory and recently, unfortunately, has a tendency to crash. Most of the features can be disabled; the UI can be reconfigured to your liking. Btw, I generally disable the javadoc view and just F3 to the locati

Ah, finally, here we have the gist of the argument: "Many of his points aren't very useful for other languages." The rest is all noise and no signal. Well, although that point has been answered on other parts of the forum, it seems the auto

Agreed, they aren't the prettiest thing in Java and they only allow one 'layer' of annotating (you can't use expressions in annotations for example), they do prove it is possible to document your code in Java in a way that it becomes part o

As far as I can see, you're arguing: "Since he's a Java developer, he delivers critique on LightTable". thereby pointing out that any other kind of developer would probably not have made such critique, thereby relating the validity of his c

Ah, another ad hominem! Let me reply with an ad hominem: Would you translate your statement into: "It is difficult to get Prashant Deva to understand something, when the salary of Prashant Deva depends upon his not understanding it"? No? Th

His argument is on how most concepts in light table are not novel. Branding light table as novel or groundbreaking is therefor incorrect and his post is called for. You seem to attack his argument on his background as a Java developer and n

Java's annotations could be seen as 'part of the environment' (whatever that may mean). I often use annotations which indicate how a method should be used, and those annotations are used by static analysis to validate correctness. When usin
