Sadly (as one developing a lot in Java) i think it won't happen anytime soon, and the community will ideologize it as "it is even better that we don't have it". :(

I hope I will be wrong.

This is a bug we just hit 5 minutes ago on 0.6: One of our CD builds failed because of a configuration issue - a variable wasn't properly set, leading terraform to continuously ask jenkins' stdin for a password.

We fixed the bug. But somehow, that previous build wiped the state file. When we pushed the fix, terraform freaked out and started deleting all our instances, including S3 redirects that weren't managed by it which we explicitly told it to ignore.

That sucked.

> Based on the various articles I've read it seems nobody has considered this at all

Whenever I have a thought like this, I think of IT-related articles in mainstream press and how much information they omit in there. It's city/traffic planning. Someone definitely thought about issues like this. We're just not going to read about it in press, just like nobody will get minutes of the planning meetings of the latest Windows release.

The suggestion that millennials are having less sex because they are unattractive seems far fetched. I'm not sure what obesity rates among millennials is - but I'm sure if enough of them were that fat, it would sort of become the new norm and standards for attractiveness would change accordingly.

I think the real explanation is the the curve in the graph, we had 3 for greatest generation, 5 for silents then jumping up to 11 during the boomers, then declining slightly during x and declining further during millennials.

I bet if we could extend the graph back historically we would see the vast majority of human generations were closer to the greatest generation in number of sex partners. This looks to me like there was an increase in sexual promiscuity during the sexual revolution, the effects of which are tapering off as humans return to their normal sexual habits.

Java always suffered from Sun not being serious about it for OS development.

While .NET was pushed by Microsoft for everything else that didn't necessarily require the features of C++ and as such got a good focus in the whole stack and OS integration.

Sun like any other UNIX company, never understood the desktop, and the only OS stack they pushed Java was the network computer failed attempt and later on J2ME.

It was JEE (J2EE back then) that made it relevant again.

Oracle has always invested a lot in Java, they already quite a few Java based products in the early 2000. They were the first DBMS to support stored procedures in Java.

They also kept the Sun research labs going and will be integrating the Java JIT Graal into the standard JDK.

The Java Language Summit is taking place this week.

The problem is that Oracle designs languages for suits not jeans.
I wonder if this is the reason for a generation of two-finger typists? It's not that "old people are incapable of learning to type", just that they grew up with systems which were physically incapable of handling faster input so there was no point until after muscle memory made it too hard to change?
I wish this was restricted to just the 3.9 million repos of the JavaScript build systems and task runners. The remainder of the repos just tainted the training set.
> As a side effect, Simula was the first object-oriented language.

No, Simula was the first language with objects; having objects does not make a language object oriented. Smalltalk was the first object oriented langauge, the object was the central metaphor upon which the entire language was built, unlike Simula which was a procedural language with objects grafted on. Kay made up the moniker object oriented to denote this distinction, the term literally exists to describe the difference between what Smalltalk was and what everything else was. It does not apply to Simula despite the persistence of this misunderstanding.

When that person goes to the cold storage wallet, the only trustworthy information they have (assuming compomise of the online system) is how much money they are transferring. This means that this arrangement succeeds at making a trustworthy rate limit and nothing more.

If I wanted to make a trustworthy rate limit, I'd have the machine from (1) not airgapped, but connected by a serial (unidirectional) line to the machine from (2) along which it would periodically send signed transactions sending some of the money from "lukewarm" storage to hot storage, and sending change back to the very same "lukewarm" storage address. The machine from (1) can then implement a rate limit.
The US has nothing to fear from China, any more than they did Japan a quarter century ago. China is drowning in the greatest accumulation of debt in world history, it's going to choke off their economy for generations to come. They'll refuse - as they're doing now - to put down the zombie corporations, perfectly copying the mistakes Japan made. They'll endlessly stimulate with debt while they sink lower. The prediction about China growing old before it becomes wealthy at the median, is already in the third inning of happening.

And further proof of China being a non-threat: US manufacturing has grown dramatically since China's manufacturing came onto the global scene 30 plus years ago. The US economy has grown dramatically, while China's economy boomed. US standards of living have not contracted; quite the opposite, more people have moved up out of the middle class in the US, than down out of it, over the last 30 years. The US has the world's second highest household median disposable income level, which hasn't been diminished at all by China's rise. The US has seen no significant damage to its ability to create full-time employment, or possess a low unemployment rate. The US hasn't lost its wealth position in the world in the last 30 years, still owning around 43% to 45% of all private global wealth. The US has seen no damage to the USD global reserve currency with the modest rise of the Yuan, it has mostly taken position from other second tier currencies.

So, where's the evidence supporting damage - now or in the near future - exactly? There has been none. If anything the US has benefited from China and is likely to continue to do so.
> Without patents, there are no incentives for publicly stating your methodology.

That can't be true. There are about 50,000 new phds a year, all of their dissertations are public. Those are all required to be novel, right? so clearly, it's not the only incentive. There are many incentives, recognition, fame, and funding to name a few.

> Patents increase the sharing of information, they do not reduce it.

Ok, sure, but reading the patent creates a minefield for any future work. Was it your idea or did you read it in a book? Some people can answer this question remarkably well, remembering the source for every concept they employ. If on the other hand, you're not good at this, reading patents is very dangerous. Triple damages encourages not reading patents.

> The second point is covered by prior art.

No, an infringing idea after publication of a patent is by definition not prior art. It can be a completely independent discovery, but it's still infringing. Again, independent discovery seems to indicate, to me anyway, it's obvious.
If you have a .Net Core runtime on your platform, then yes. You cannot run .Net Core apps on traditional .Net Framework. (There are differences in the base types as .Net Core was redesigned to eventually support AOT, among many other things, which results in incompatibilities.)
The evidence I have seen suggests a modestly higher average IQ in East Asian countries, between 104 and 106 whereas European countries can be from 98 to 102. I think cultural factors such as work ethic and valuing education matter more in real life.
You are right.

According to this video, the bus would have higher priority than other cars during signalling:

https://www.facebook.com/shanghaiist/videos/1015460854966603...
I hope so, but sometimes we're optimistic about the behavior of others. Restricting the height of vehicles able to enter a multilane multi purpose roadway is going to be tough. People will sabotage those just so they can use the same roadway to make deliveries, make a living, etc. But, who knows, maybe you're right and they have devised such a solution.

Another issue is people trying to turn away from the lanes of the elevated bus as the bus approaches --thinking they can beat it, unless getting in and out of those lanes is restricted to a few well managed merge and exit areas.

Java might be source compatible, but sometimes it is quite fun to make libraries work across versions.

Specially if they rely on APIs that did break, like JDBC interfaces.

Also Android Java isn't 100% Java as Google cherry picks APIs, which with the increase of Java 8's adoption is increasing the effort to write portable libraries that compile against Java and Android Java.

Also Android Java runtimes don't understand the bytecodes introduced in Java 7 and 8. So you cannot use libraries that make use of them.

This will only get worse with Java 9 modularity and with the value types, reiffed generics and new FFI planned for Java 10.

Wouldn't it be like driving through a tunnel? Granted it would be a bit weird that it moves (you can overtake it and vice-versa) but given it short length, you can easily focus on the road and compensate.

I think they might add a vanity panel so you can't see the tyres and trusses making hitting the thing less tangling and perhaps even add flashing warnings if you are veering too close to the thing. Given the width and height of the TEB it looks rather stable.
I'm figuring for the down payment.
Doesn't it? I thought it's common knowledge the US has the worst Internet infrastructure out of all first world countries. The prices I see mentioned here for residential connections seem to confirm that. It also seems that download caps for residential connections are a thing there, which is a practice I personally consider barbaric.
So you are stating that Go will compile 10x faster than Turbo Pascal on a 8086 with 640 KB?!

My point is that Go's compilation speed isn't nothing extraordinary, I can keep giving examples of other compiled languages that had equally fast compilers in the the mid-90's.

Oberon, Go's grand daddy could bootstrap itself and build a full working graphical workstation OS in less than one minute if I remember correctly.

Yes, I believe that has been cited that it gives the suspect or person of interest a way to evade/respond to police if the media are broadcasting information. For example, in this case, if we believe that the woman was holding a shotgun pointed at the police and the media reported that police were bringing a battering ram to break down her door, she might use that information to her advantage to escape, commit suicide, etc.
Type "about:config" into the URL-bar and hit enter. Confirm to the dialog that you'll be cautious and then search in that page for "xpinstall.signatures.required". I'm guessing, that this is disabled for you.

If it is, and you want to get rid of the McAfee-extension, then remove the McAfee extension and re-enable xpinstall.signatures.required.

It shouldn't be able to reinstall then. If it does anyways, check about:config, again, if that preference is re-enabled.

If it is re-enabled, either some add-on in your add-on-list is malicious and re-enabling it, which then allows McAfee to reinstall, or McAfee is abusing the prefs.js-file in your Profile-folder ([0]), which can be used to set about:config-values.

All in all, that this is an about:config-toggle to begin with, is kind of crap, as it makes this sort of stuff possible. Mozilla has plans to eventually remove this about:config-toggle from standard Firefox and instead provide a separate unbranded version of Firefox which then does still have that toggle for people who want to use unsigned extensions, but for now, this change has been put on hold, because things have been going fine, and it would just mean additional organizational chaos as well as people, who don't know about the unbranded version, screaming about Mozilla creating a walled garden. But if all of the above applied for you, you should probably report this to Mozilla, as that might be enough reason to get them moving on this change.

> Your link is in error, it treats Social Security tax as continuing past $118k.

Actually, the tool does stop adding Social Security after the income limit: http://arjun-menon.github.io/taxes-in-nyc/?income=200,000

> you'll deduct state income tax at the very least

The tool also factors in state income tax deductions. You'll see it deducted in the link above

The tool reports the marginal tax rate for a $200,000 earner as ~36%.

--

But yea, you're right, it sucks that $50k earners are taxed even more % than $200k earners. The employer pays payroll taxes of 7.65% (6.2% + 1.45%), so actual marginal taxes are ~50% from an employer cost perspective. It's truly insane.

Sorry, no. I'm in Denmark, pretty much any standard contract here will say 37 hours a week. I tried to have my contract changed to say 30 hours (and of cause having my salary reduced), that not something management really like.

I don't slack off, and I do care about my job. What I don't care about are deadlines set by random, or unwillingness to adjust deadline if issues show up along the way. I view it as a "I can be just as inflexible as management" sort of deal.

Of cause it helps that I'm not worried about losing my job. There's plenty of job for developers around here.

I wonder how they will actually enforce this. I mean, one can furnish a home, have utilities remain active and leave a few lights on and make it look like someone is actually living there.

Who builds a single studio in San Francisco? You'd build a hundred studios on 10 floors or something which means a maximum of $23 million. The land is a fixed expense since you're still buying x acres for the building and a lot of the costs going into planning and construction (permits, procurement, transportation, labor, etc) have large fixed costs but much smaller marginal costs and great efficiencies of scale. I don't know the cost per sq ft of the average project in SF but at 800 per studio (500 sq ft of space plus 300 for estimating overhead) you can spend almost $300 per sq ft. Assuming that number drops to 650 sq ft if you build a thousand studios you can now spend closer to $400 per sq ft which is in the realm of mid-2000s construction costs in Manhattan [1]. I'm pulling numbers out of my ass for the estimate but it should be clear how the math can still work out for developers.
