There are, despite the often very aggressive IntelliJ proponents, many areas where Eclipse beats IntelliJ, and incremental compilation is indeed one of the most important. It is also possibly the most important feature in a Java IDE. Ctrl+s and you know the whole codebase is compiled. Go to another file and any code change is available in the code completion (like new or changed methods signatures). Any errors from the change you just saved is shown immediately from across the entire codebase.

I just can't live without a core thing like this missing, and compounded with a number of other things that Eclipse does better, I stay on Eclipse. Unfortunately many younger developers think IntelliJ is all there is.
It took a while for me, it's similar to those 'hidden images in noise' in that you have to somehow 'switch' your eyes to see a certain way. For me anyway, it's possible it just doesn't work for everyone.

I used Hammerspoon as an AutoHotKey replacement for automating repetitive actions in games like Terraria.

I had macros for mining up, down, left, right, and in all diagonals (eventually expanded to also placing dirt below me so I don't fall into a chasm and die), and eventually integrated mining with placing rails for underground transport!

My reasoning was that I enjoyed the action parts but not the walking parts, so I made a train tunnel, but that was even more boring than walking, so I automated it. Eventually I was having more fun automating the game than playing it.

Oh, side note, getting infinite money and life in CheatEngine (also has Mac version now) taught me an important life lesson. Using my cheat-superpowers I defeated Wall of Flesh (who had been obstructing my progress for weeks), and suddenly felt a deep sense of dread. I hadn't really achieved anything, I had cheated! Suddenly I realized I had the exact same attitude towards the rest of my life, always trying to find an easy way out, a way to win without playing the game, and that this was a source of great dissatisfaction.
There are many comments complaining about exactly that product, you probably ought to spend a bit more time on that thread.
I also switched to an Ergodox EZ (about 2 years ago), and the switch was very painful. At first, my speed was divided by 2.
Using some typing practice, I managed to get to my usual speed on a normal keyboard and then thought: good, now I can definitely remove my old keyboard for good. My god this was wrong:

When typing what I saw before me, my brain could dedicate 100% to typing, and this was fine.
But when programming, or even writing an email, part of my brain must concentrate on the content, and my typing what very laborious, maybe half of the normal speed, with many errors. This was taxing much of my mental energy.
I kept on for a at least one month of typing practice before really making a permanent switch.
It was hard, but I do not regret it at all.

Worth noting: I thinkered with the layout quite a bit. Even moving one special character somewhere else could take me a full day to adjust, and it was painful. So I finally settled on a good, but probably not optimal layout.

As some other comment above, I do not use common keys as layer keys (something I really wanted to use) because of delays. It is not much, but I experienced much more typing errors with this.

The thing is though, our current calendar, while maybe not super logical and/or always practical, is not broken in the sense that we're dealing with major unfixable problems. So changing to anything other than what we currently have is creating more issues than it's trying to solve.

IntelliJ was much faster than JBuilder. This is what I remember most, IntelliJ was as fast as using Visual Studio.

I liked JBuilder, but VisualCafe was a nightmare. But IntelliJ was much more responsive and much cheaper.

I have used most of the major DAWs at one point or another (including deep dives into Cubase, Ableton, Logic, and Pro Tools). I switched to REAPER years ago and never looked back. It's absolutely outstanding.

People often cite it as the "best deal in audio," and it certainly is that. But honestly, DAWs are not the big expense for us (my studio monitors cost twice what my laptop cost; the most expensive DAW out there is still one of the cheaper elements of my studio).

I use REAPER because the answer is always "yes." "Hey, can you? . . ." You name it. If it has something to do with audio, REAPER can probably handle it. And it's hands-down the most stable DAW I've used. I can't remember the last time it actually crashed, but I guarantee you it was a wonky plugin.

I've heard it described as "the emacs of DAWs," and that seems about right. As with an industrial-strength editor, there's a bit of a learning curve (maybe an endless one). But if, by some miracle, REAPER can't do what you want out of the box, you can almost certainly hack something on top of it that will.

If the world was more like disney imagines it to be then this could be possible. Or your parents are very rich and you don't have to pay rent etc. for yourself.

Which means 5x the tax base (more, because NY has ~33% higher per capita income, although that also implies employees are more expensive), which could be used to hire 5x the employees.

This the first nonsense talk by Jeff Dean. AI doesn't help at all it battling climate change, only politics do help.

So it looks like he ran out of topics to entertain himself. Or he went politician. Which would be a welcoming change.
Your argument being? That human-induced global warming affecting the life of millions, potentially billions of people, should be ignored because worse has happened in Earth's history? Because humans also adversely affect different parameters of the environment?

That's neither, but it is better than what we have today, let me explain:
I was raised by my grandparents in the countryside, the worst part was my parents randomly showing up every 2-3 weeks or so, letting me always longing for them.

Now, as to the relationship with my grandparents, even if I was doing chores for 1 hour alone, it was no big deal at all, as long as I knew they were in close proximity or other significant adults were in close proximity.

Again, what really sucked was when my grandparents were out in the fields in the summer until dusk and I didn't know when they would show up.

As long as the child has ACCESS to the attention of significant adults, he can develop longer and longer duration of time when he doesn't really need the attention, it's absolutely normal and beneficial for the emotional development of the child to grow independent of significant adults, but the child absolutely needs to have a firm support base in significant adults and know he can rely for their support.

Maybe it's my bad experience with overcrowded daycare/kindergarden, but educators there were absolutely not in the role as significant adults, maybe in places where there are more educators per child, better trained, they can take that role as a significant adult.

That would work for tasks that are not latency sensitive (i.e. long compute tasks, not interactive ones) and that don't require oodles of bandwidth (or aren't time sensitive so it doesn't matter that getting the data up there for processing takes a while).

IIRC typical packet round trip times for generic networking a single satellite is at least half a second, two or three times that being typical RTTs, and bandwidth is going to be orders of magnitude lower than can be achieved with land/sea wire based networks.

Also dissipating heat is more problematical in space than most people intuit do to vacuum conditions.

And getting the kit up there in the first place will have a large environmental impact, and upgrades will be somewhat more time consuming and otherwise resource intensive.

€10 gets you the cheap keyboard which leads to bad wrist positions, which can contribute to RSI and carpal tunnel.

€60-80 buys a mass-produced ergonomic design, like the Microsoft Ergonomic. These aren't adjustable or programmable, but it's easily a worthwhile improvement.

(Personally, I bought a mechanical keyboard because I don't like the low-travel laptop-style keys that are now standard on the MS Ergonomic and other similar "cheap" ergonomic keyboards.)

€100-150 buys a mass-produced, adjustable, reprogrammable (to some extent) keyboard, like a Kinesis Freestyle. This will help people with wrist issues, and will seem an obvious improvement to anyone who has a Microsoft Ergonomic. It also comes with mechanical keyswitches, which give more options in typing pressure.

€300 buys a sculpted ergonomic keyboard, like the Kinesis Advantage2. I've never used them, but people who have had wrist problems seem to swear by them. They look comfortable to use, if you know how to touch-type in the standard way.

Within this whole range are DIY and small-scale ergonomic keyboards. The price varies a lot depending whether it's self-assembled, self-printed/cut, etc (this obviously makes no difference to the effectiveness of the keyboard), the type of key switches chosen (this makes some difference, but will eventually lead to the kind of discussions one hears about 99.999999999% copper speaker cables where people are spending €2+ per switch) and the key caps (which is 99% appearance).

All of them are fully programmable, and there's potentially a lot of customization possible for tilting, positioning and so on.

The key switches and key caps are independent from whether the keyboard is ergonomic or not, so you can also spend €300+ on an extremely un-ergonomic keyboard with just 50 keys, a milled aluminium case, 8° tilt, no feet, €2 switches and incorrect Japanese key legends with colours taken from a manga. This should be considered art rather than a useful tool.

Adding the €150 Japanese key caps to a €120 kit-built ergonomic keyboard doesn't make it worse, but mine looks good enough with the plain €15 key caps.
I don't remember how well it worked and how far they went with the idea, but there was a team twenty-some years ago doing touch sensory research using a matrix of pins/dots that reacted to camera input, and attached to the back of blind people to make them "see".

The American Civil War wasn't very long ago, but I think if there are no known owners then buried gold like the Confederate Gold would be considered treasure in England even though it isn't old, so they must have similar issues.
I've been the sole Eclipse developer in a number of places where everyone used IntelliJ. At least a couple of the places had switched from Eclipse after having been worn down by that one incessant IntelliJ guy. A few developers discreetly confided that they would rather have stayed on Eclipse, and some new people followed my lead. None of the places were 'IntelliJ shops' though, any more than I know of any 'Eclipse shops'. It would be rather poor form to hard tie your projects to an IDE, so it was always fairly doable to run with your IDE of choice.
This seems like a common knee-jerk reaction lately - if something comes out of Russia, it must be the government doing its authoritarian stuff. But you are reading it backwards. Russian government doesn't need any "excuse" to block something - if they want to, they just go ahead and do it. Instead, it is rambler that is using its connections to government as a credible threat to extort bigger settlement.

I don't get it, OSS has owners? Cant you just transfer a fork?

I just do corporate politics by first being an employee who does everything within reason to help the work progress. Eventually this builds towards managers acting in my interest. If they fail to do that I start removing myself from such extra activities. If you wrote some great software they can use you should transfer it since they will find ways to reward you for doing such things... unless you know they wont, then you have to be a pain in the ass while reminding them what you've already selflessly done for them.

Just be sure you are a nice guy and ask yourself if they are nice to you. If not, can you condition them to be nice? If not, take the legal route for everything.

It isn't definitive that piracy actually causes any significant or definitive harm to large organisations. It fact in many circumstances the effect can be reversed - those who pirate films are also more likely to watch them and to encourage others to watch them.

Without a definitive answer to the harm question, you can't definitively assess the morality side of the question.
