There is nothing wrong with having oligarchs, but it depends on what percentage of the total number of people in society. If it is 0.01% of all people, it is very bad. If it's 10%, it's good. That's what regulates the maximum.

I read the story of the fisherman on the wall in a Jimmy John's sandwich shop, not sure if it was the first time I'd seen it, but I associate it with them.

I think if sheer irony could cause space-time to collapse into a black hole, that's the closest I've seen.

This is the Jimmy Johns that was outed as making their employees sign non-competes.

The Jimmy Johns majority owned by "Roark Capital Group".

The Jimmy Johns that was warned by the FDA to stop selling spoiled produce with E. Coli in 2020.

According to the FDA, they engaged in the classic response to a QA failure - they did a "one-time cleaning and sanitation at Iowa based Jimmy John’s restaurants" but "neither you nor your parent company proposed any corrective actions to prevent these, or other Jimmy John’s restaurants, from receiving adulterated produce".

I used to like their sandwiches though. They donate millions to charity, as well, just like a humble fisherman.

I will presume that this comment was made with forthrightness and lack of information rather than attempting to obfuscate a fairly obvious funding funnel from the US -> IDF -> 8200.

The US gov't provides billions, yearly, in monetary aid and guaranteed loans to Israel specifically for military funding. Sure, most of that has earmarks, but that's the way the game is played.

This doesn't account for anything in the black budget, which as you can imagine, probably includes quite a bit for this realm. With Israel currently considered an indispensable intelligence partner (and thusly an outsourced R&D partner), I find it hard to suspend disbelief enough to accept that U.S. taxpayers aren't funding Unit 8200 just because there isn't a line item in public budgets.

Heh, getters and setters. An unpopular opinion, but imo you don't need them most of the time. Usually, a getter just returns a field and a setter just assigns it. If that's the case, and unless you're writing a public API of a library, just make the field public. Make it public final if it's read-only.

The difference between arrays and ArrayList is simple: an array has a constant size known at the time of allocation.
> the US and England were also spying on the journalist Julian Assange, and have kept him in prison and tortured him for over a decade. Ben Hubbard luckily just got hacked.

As you probably know, these assertions are a big stretch for many people. Not everyone considers Assange a journalist. He was living in an embassy for most of those years, so while he was confined, it's not a prison and not torture. Hubbard isn't lucky; neither the US or UK have ever imprisoned and tortured a journalist from a major publication (unless I'm overlooking someone). There may be legitimate debate about Assange, but it's not credible to pretend that these are facts.
JulianMorrison uses java8, no 'record' there. Not everything fits being a record, either way. The advice is sound for pretty much any class and development, use final fields in the c-tor; make them public if you have to, and dont bother w/ getters.

Ok then I'll disagree with your implication that anybody who cares about more than old hunting arms is "extremist/fanatical". I have no problem with having a term to refer to people who only care about their rights to own their arms. Also what did you mean by "n*-lover" and how do you think it relates to ppl who want more than hunting guns to remain legal? Tbh that makes it sound like you're flaim-bating.
The cause and effect are quite right, though. The reason Kotlin was designed in 2009-2010 was because Java became stagnant, not by choice, but due to Sun's demise. After the acquisition and an adjustment period, Oracle gradually increased investment, and the evolution pace got back to it's "normal" course. So Java's "revival" and Kotlin's existence are, indeed, related, but one did not cause the other; rather, they both have a common cause.

Statistically people who do payment fraud crap use rooted phones more, probably to help with things like location spoofing to get around other fraud detection methods when apps use third party payment libraries, so you reduce your fraud cost with something that is a few lines of code. The cost/benefit ratio is too good which is why you see it everywhere that has a payment fraud risk of some sort.

Eh... My experience disagrees with title, but not the actual content. What really happened was that the tech made the customer feel like part of the problem-solving team, and that they both worked together to solve the issue.

This is an important distinction. Make the client feel like they alone solved it, and you will wind up talking yourself out of a job.

Sovereign states are anemic by now and i'm skeptical that they would want to fight where the money and (real) power is, and if they grow some balls, or stop being so corrupt, even than, i'm skeptical that they will manage to win this fight.

We are entering into a new era where big techs are so massive they can fight sovereign states and win, heading us into a new era of neo-feudalism were "civil rights" are only granted if they are not in the middle of our new digital lords lust for profit and power.

So people might think this is unlikely and conspiratory, but its just natural human nature, social dynamics and following the political vectors by the aggregation of the past events.

If they are willing, they know the secrets of everyone, and its just a matter of pressing the right people to bow to their will and that's it, we become the fools of Weimar republic that were not aware of the dangers ahead of us, because there were no historical precedent to make us vigilant and aware, and all the signs were well aligned to a hostile takeover.
There must be a perception-over-time element to this. Fresh from the container, there's probably not much difference, but the size of the container, whether it's re-closable, how well it conducts heat, how fast the individual drinks, etc must have an affect on overall perception of quality/tastiness.

I'm wondering at what point quality is "sampled." There's the first sip ... and then the last. Maybe overall perception is tied more strongly to the last sip?
I think I could make the same argument for terse code.

With apache2 httpd, you can of course serve the challenge over insecure HTTP, but httpd won't start if you say it should use a cert that doesn't actually exist, so for the sake of automated setup and not having to edit the config multiple times it's way easier to write a self-signed cert and then overwrite it with LE. I think the situation is the same with nginx but not 100% sure.

Or governments will continue to have those laws on the books and prosecute them with discretion (which is what happens today). It is very convenient for those in power when every person is already guilty of something.
The power these four companies hold is incredible.

By shutting down services to a country, these four companies could likely trigger a recession in any country of their choosing.

It would be economic suicide for the companies.

But the fact that they have the power to execute such an idea is astounding.

Thank god for that, because those feature are either horrible on their own or superseded by better ones. You're getting a car and complaining for not getting faster horses. The features Java has adopted -- specifically, algebraic data types and pattern-matching -- will lead to better development practices, rather than making it easier to work with inferior ones.
> the owner of the PC does not retain absolute control over this device.

This is a bit FUD-y. TPMs are key stores, the same as what Apple calls a "secure enclave." When you activate a device with a service like Netflix or a software like Windows, they stick their key in the TPM. As a user you can clear of disconnect the TPM any time you like - you're in control of your device. What you're not in control of is Netflix and Windows - Netflix and Windows are only going to authorize 5 TPMs. If you reset your TPM, you're going to need to re-enter your license information.

> and an incoming president with the stones required could arrest much of the former administration’s “intelligence community” leadership in midnight raids via the insurrection act.

Sure they could, but they won't. No president will, if for no other reason then out of fear that the next one from the opposite party will do the same to their administration. Unless they outright shoot someone in front of witnesses, I don't expect this ever to happen, regardless of the level of corruption.

It's incredibly ironic that you're attempting to teach me a semantics lesson, when you've clearly never read the definitions for the words you're referencing. With one word, the OP implied that people who don't love absolutely everything about Firefox are both mentally unsound and incapable of reasoning.

No, not really have you even installed FreeDOS once? BTW the FreeDOS developers will perfectly tell you that they have no interest in being dos game focused...and you can feel that 50% of all games just refuse to run...that's not the case with MSDOS 5.22.
Lots of opinions about Barcelona, I see.
Somehow I feel I know the city quite well. I moved here more than 20 years ago and I can compare it to others cities I live in or visited.

Barcelona is relatively safe, although, as it's been mentioned, it had several hot spots (I used to live in some of these, actually).
Crime is in most of the cases about pickpocketing or, sadly but infrequently, with assault. Still, believe me, it's a relatively safe city.

Anyhow, it's not a city to grow your children. Traffic is high, bike lanes are not safe and there are very few parks.
This is the reason people try to move to nearby cities whenever they have kids (my case also).
> I think that would be more likely to be covered in a pure math program than applied math.

Integration is pretty basic and used extensively, and I'd say it makes no sense to cover contour integrals within the scope of complex numbers and differential equations but leave out integrals.
> It's a valid choice — if they're aiming to curate a set of high-quality extensions, and prevent the use of lower-quality extensions — but it's a choice nonetheless.

Mozilla is also looking at monetizing their extension ecosystem by allowing the top makers of extensions to pay for placement. Perhaps, Mozilla could start letting only the highest paid extensions on Android.

Would this be "valid"? Uh . . . sure. It is also blatantly user hostile. I would rather Mozilla allow me to choose what I run, but Mozilla definitely isn't going to give the users that sort of freedom on release builds.
I hope you're joking. How can someone not know that the average person is unaware of Morse code? After all, it's pretty common hearing about how ignorant people are in movies/series :P
From your blog:

> Finally, here's what drove the purchase: I was taking a long car trip, and my wife was doing the DJ work using my device. Of course, every time she wanted to change tracks I had to unlock the device with my fingerprint. Ridiculous. This little device solved that problem

Wouldn't telling her your phone's code, or temporarily adding one of her fingerprints to it for the duration of the journey, have been a much simpler solution...?
Hm... I don't think you're reading closely. The point is not whether I already know (IOW the properties of my subjective past are not needed). The point is that there are definitely possible future outcomes that I do not know. Can you see why that might be helpful in thinking about the future of technology?
Great (unintended) straw-man comment. These are all minor reasons in the context of an introduction to developing software. Yes, there's some initial setup, but once that's done and you're learning how programs are constructed with classes, objects, methods and where static typing can help you, they're all the important things that will carry you well into a career.
If anyone wants to attempt this, that's awesome. It's a lot of hard work, but I think it opens a lot of opportunities for personally and professionally. I've a Ph.D in Applied Mathematics from a traditional program, so I wanted to chime in based on some of the comments I'm seeing. As a note, this is an opinion and others may feel differently and strongly at that.

To me, applied mathematics is the art of transforming something into a linear system, which is something that we can tangibly solve on a computer. There are lot's of ways to do this such as Taylor series and Galerkin methods, so a lot of the field is understanding how, when, and why each method can be used. This is coupled with mastery over linear solvers, which includes direct methods, iterative methods, preconditioners, etc.

I wanted to write this comment, though, to focus on certain areas that may end up blocking what I view as appropriate progression in the field. These are things that I believe are necessary to understand advanced topics, but don't necessarily fall under applied mathematics. First, you really do need mastery of real analysis. It's necessary because it covers formally topics such as differentiation, integration, and series, which are required to understand theorems and algorithms. In my opinion, calculus books are not sufficient. Rudin's Principle's of Mathematical Analysis is the most concise, well written book that contains enough. Second, enough functional analysis to understand Hilbert Spaces is required. This prerequisite to this is the real analysis above. The issue here is that algorithms for things like differential equations require function spaces to do properly. Certainly, you can go really deep in this regard, but Hilbert Spaces are generally enough for practical algorithms. This also affects optimization theory, which impacts machine learning. Technically, you can do optimization theory with only real analysis, but the theory is cleaner in Hilbert Space. Questions that need to be answered are things like does the infimum exist and can it be obtained? Working with a general inner product is also a valuable tool for parallelization as well as a modeling tool. Third, some integration or measure theory is required. It depends on what you're doing, so I don't think mastery is strictly necessary, but spaces like L2 don't make a lot of sense unless you know what a Lebesgue integral is. Even if you want to just work with spaces that are Riemann integrable, measure theory helps understand when this is possible and the ramifications of it. And, to be clear, this is important outside of differential equations. If you want to understand optimization theory in a Hilbert Space, the inner products used will require some understand of measure theory.

Anyway, these are some random thoughts and ideas about the field. I do believe strongly that any amount of study is beneficial as most engineering fields benefit from applied mathematics.
ArrayList is not a linked list, it's an array-backed list like List in C# or other languages, like the name implies. Linked list is `java.util.LinkedList`.

No, they sold out to Google on that already.

Try to understand as much as possible and make your call that way. Most of the scientific questions in this world don't require you to have an opinion (I don't much care which rocket fuel is better; I'll let others argue over that).

Covid and Climate Change are interesting because certain conclusions related to them have a direct impact on you and I. The ruling class would certainly like you to believe one conclusion over all the others and that conclusion might even be 'correct' in terms of being beneficial to you or humans as a whole, but asking people to believe that conclusion because of some 'consensus' is fraught with both logical and mortal peril as history has shown us time and time again.
