Yes, yes, and yes, plus Jetbrain IDEs have much superior code assistance and navigation compared to Xcode. Xcode is clearly worse than Visual Studio, JetBrains, Eclipse, and many other IDEs I've used over the past 20 years in the industry when it comes to code navigation, refactoring, and basic editing. Xcode does only one thing well and that's interface builder, but if you were writing a backend application with no UI would you choose Xcode? I'd rank it lower than emacs and vim for editing tasks.
Interestingly -- perhaps you know this already -- the US military keeps a strict segregation between Peace Corps and the military: If you join one, you are forever-banned from joining the other. I'm not sure about the historical reasoning for it, though. Something else interesting: One of my childhood friends joined the Peace Corps, and wherever he went (in Africa), those countries always accused Peace Corps members of being CIA operatives. He was always super defensive about there being no CIA operatives in the Peace Corps, which in its own way was kind of suspicious.
In general, we ought to be moving toward a unitary tax system, so multinationals will have to pay local taxes in the places they do business, rather than just being able to shift it wherever they want via transfer pricing. http://www.taxjustice.net/unitary-tax/

I admit that's a bit of a special case because the AMA restricts accreditation. I would note that schools in the Caribbean have arisen to fill that need - they are notorious for taking students who performed low on the MCAT. I believe the higher debt these students take on is commensurate with physician salaries here are in most cases much higher than in Europe.

I really like AllOfBach's attempt to provide free/gratis recordings of, eventually, all of Bach's repertoire; it is a laudable endeavour.

What disappoints me is the lack of vision on how this cultural resource can be maintained and spread amongst whoever benefits from it in the long term. All the copyrights appear to reside with the Netherlands Bach Society, and there appears to be no legal way to spread this resource beyond streaming it via Vimeo (for which by the way you need to allow cookies for player.vimeo.com if you use Privacy Badger).

These are high quality recordings by excellent musicians, it's a shame that copyright encumbers it without some open culture license like Creative Commons.

I should really take the time to write them and ask about their views on this topic.

Edit: I should perhaps say middle-to-long-term, as copyright might eventually expire (if we are lucky).
No, it doesn't make sense. The training data (inputs and NN-predicted outputs) that you're feeding into the DT is at best the same as the training data (inputs and desired outputs) you had originally.
Because Bazel produces faster, reproducible builds, and can far better combine native and JVM code.

It’s a huge improvement.
Sucks for the hairdresser that has to subsidize my kids (And my mortgage).

The fallacy you're falling for is that you think that a person's tax bill is going to change depending on what the government spends money on. If the government doesn't spend on education then a hairdresser doesn't get to pay less tax; that money is saved to used to cut taxes for the wealthy, or to give giant corporations a break, or to buy even fancier bombs from billion dollar arms companies. Ordinary people aren't affected.

Given the choice between giving corporations an amnesty on reshoring the billions in cash they have in offshore accounts or paying for kids to go to college for free, I think the better option is education.
I don't think so. The main concern for someone with anti-russian stance would be using Russian tech at all, not it's name. But I don't remember JetBrains ever doing anything to align themself with state politics and it's not like one has to buy anything from them to use Kotlin. So I don't see it as a major factor.

Stay Tuned with Distraction-Blocking Tools for Writers
Kotlift: Language Transpiler from Kotlin to Swift
I've found something that could possibly be the unicorn: React Native. Facebook's official motto may be "learn once, write everywhere" but I don't care. I've found that it's completely possible to "write once, run everywhere", even if it's not officially supported.

I'm still a few weeks away from launching, but I'm writing a little game that I'm going to ship on iOS, Android, Windows Phone and desktop (UWP), and web (with react-native-web.) They all share 99% of the code, except for a few native modules.

I've had to do a ton of work to get all of this working, but I'm going to release all of my changes, open source libraries, and a boilerplate so that it's easy to get started.

After the initial release, I'm going to be adding support for Mac, Xbox One (UWP), Apple TV, and maybe Linux. Mac and Apple TV are both forks of iOS that share 90% of the native code. Xbox One almost works out of the box, and I just need to add gamepad support. Linux is the only platform that is missing - Canonical's Ubuntu fork has stalled and no-one seems to be working on it.

I'm also keeping an eye on Kotlin. I just found out that it might be possible to write cross-platform React Native modules using Kotlin. (I was planning to use C++ or Rust for some shared code.)

Bullshit.

Any telco operator has millions of customers and it handles support just fine.

Any bank has millions of customers and it does support just fine.

Google enterprise products (Cloud, app engine, apps) are nowhere near that number. They have no excuse for not having support.

The point is that it's not $15 you're out of - it's some amount per month for the rest of your life, i.e. whatever it would cost you for an equivalent email hosting plan elsewhere. If that were gmail, and you have 40 years of life left, that'd be $2400 or so.

Unfortunately, I have no idea whether you could make that claim in the UK, as you signed a document which sets Victoria, Australia as the venue for lawsuits. (And that there provides the reason to purchase services from a company that has an EU presence.)

Given that explanation, I find it hard to understand why Navient should provoke a moral outrage over activities which seem to fall under what you describing as servicing: isn't their incentive to keep the debtor to the original terms of the loan? It could be argued that these debtors should have never signed on to begin with, but that would be on the lender's shoulders. Thanks for the explanation.
You can't be sure. There is no silver bullet anywhere in security.

The better approach is to turn that question around and ask what extra security can you gain by not checking the signatures? None? Then it's best to check. Worst case, it doesn't help you at all. Best case, it saves your ass. A win on average, I'd say.
it's supposed to, right? (because there is less friction with the bottom)

Kotlin is just the geographic name of the island. A "military base" (Baltic fleet admiralty headquarters, which is military, but not "base") is located there, but it's location is the fortified city named Kronstadt.

I am a pro-Ukrainian Russian, and I know many Jetbrains employees, who are cool and bunch of hackers and totally apolitical. Don't worry, it is kosher. :)
Out of interest, what is wrong with Java? I found writing Android apps easy enough using Java. I am from a C++ background, so find all the C# and Java that I have to write quite simple, so I'd be intrigued to know what was "wrong" with Java.

Is it worth me looking into Kotlin? I am already halfway through investigating Swift so it seems the endless task of keeping up to date with new languages for each platform (keeping up to date with the changes in C++ and the STL is a mammoth task in itself).
But isn't part of the Android SDK, Gradle is.

As I learned through the years, anyone that decides to step outside the SDK tooling accepts the lack of productivity that entails the extra work, making the unofficial tools fit into the SDK expectations.

So why should JetBrains spend development resources (work time * salary / hour) into something that isn't a standard tool just to get brownie points?
I don't think the theoretical maximum is wrong. It's just that the ion implantation can't be scaled up, doesn't work for bulk materials, and results in only ~40% of the material in the desired Iron Nitride form which has that theoretical limit.

It's impossible to know how much exactly is required. (While structures are fixed size, arrays indices are not.)

Linux allows you to configure the limit at /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr.

A bank's core function is to evaluate credit risk. If a bank can't do that, the people running it should be doing something else.
My experience as well. They have the initial assumption that you're inexperienced (as is common in level 1 support and as I'm pretty sure they do for a good reason), but they are great at escalating, you don't have to ask them. And when an issue is escalated to engineers, you often get to talk to the founders and they are always happy to investigate in depth or explain, in detail, why things are they way they are or how they plan to address it.

I actually appreciate that they always give honest, straight, no BS answers and while FM is certainly not perfect, the support I got through the years is a large part of why I recently moved off my grandfathered plan to multiple (business/personal separation) more expensive plans.
I agree, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It's even worse than old PHP's array().

I'll pick short forms all the time: lists with (), dictionaries/hashes with {}.
Ah, SAX. People built some true horrors with that API, just because it was "more performant" than DOM. Never mind that their hacked-together tree builders often leaked like sieves.
Because Bazel is partially already supported. Google uses it internally a lot, and a lot of the Android buildfiles have been / are being migrated step by step either from Make to Ninja, or from Make to Bazel, long term.
Why not merge Swift and Kotlin?

Seems like they are very similar languages, with similar goals. They both want to be cross-platform. I suppose the competition is healthy, but at some point there's just a lot of duplicated effort. Although, I guess if they're both using LLVM, then it's not such a big deal. Maybe one day we'll see libraries that can be used by both Kotlin and Swift.
Anything that is belov 50% of the turnover is a joke, especially for new-age internet companies.

I agree. The Activity and Fragment lifecycles that create such a pain are based on architecture decisions, not language. Kotlin can't overcome the fundamental fact that activities are stateless, and all the knock-on effects this creates.

RedShift is very close to PostgreSQL (it even uses PostgreSQL drivers to connect to their clusters from programming languages or data IDEs).

A sneakier difference is query latency. RedShift is scalable for queries that scan through very large amounts of data - but there is overhead for each query. One complicated JOIN can be faster than 50 small queries that ORMs and web apps like to make.
> Xcode isn't perfect, but it's way better than JetBrains.

O_o Are you kidding me?

People whinge all the time about jetbrains subscriptions, but I've literally never spoken to someone who's actually used their products and think that the alternative editors available (visual studio, xcode, etc) are actually better.

There are some features like UI designers that you can't do without, but it's been a long time since I met anyone who actually liked xcode.

BDD frameworks

No, I never said that, I said there are better ways to spend the money. In 2015 in East Palo Alto, they had to close an elementary school for two weeks because they had no heat. How much do you think those kids benefit from a promise of free college versus a safe, clean, heated, well staffed elementary school?

Given the choice between giving corporations an amnesty on reshoring the billions in cash they have in offshore accounts or paying for kids to go to college for free, I think the better option is education.

Talk about fallacies, there is a false dilemma wrapped in a straw man for you, but let's go with it. No one is offering that choice, but if they were, you should probably be for it because the reshored money could be used for education, though hopefully spent wisely, not on free college. With an amnesty, at least the govt. gets some money to spend. It doesn't help pay for free college to do nothing.

Well of course they were aware. And the Commission should have been aware. Here's a quote that stuck out to me:

“Consumer communications services: the Commission found that Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp were not close competitors and that consumers would continue to have a wide choice of alternative consumer communications apps post-merger”

The first part doesn’t sound right. If WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger aren’t close competitors, I need to figure out what a competitor is. Hmmm.. http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/competitor.html

I suppose it's because they are not rivals? They were pre acquisition. Because they definitely operate in a similar industry with a similar product/service. It’s true that consumers can choose to use alternatives.

Just wanted to point out that Kotlin is not from Russia. It's from Prague, Czech Republic. Almost the furthest west you can go and still be Slavic.

Which one is easier? I need to write some cross-platform native code for my React Native app, and I'm having a really hard time deciding on the language.

I honestly didn't know that I could use either Kotlin OR Swift for both platforms. But which would be easier to get running on Windows? I also need to write a version that works on the web, and I've heard that Kotlin can transpile to JS. So that's pretty amazing if that works.

Otherwise I was considering C, C++, or Rust.

I think religious rights should have never evolved the way it did.

Religion is clearly different from creed color, etc, it also includes belief, personality, motivation etc. Instead of becoming power real estate for established religions to fight over (do 'cults', or atheist institutions get the same protections), it should have evolved into the right to believe anything that doesn't motivate you to break the law; in other words, protection against though-policing.

The flat-earthers should get the same protections as catholics - the right to hold any belief, be it on faith or otherwise.
Equating a programming language named after a Russian island to Hitler is a real stretch, unless you think that everything Russian is like Hitler. It's just an island and a language named after it.
