Does the AbstractFactoryFactoryInterface and AbstractFactoryFactoryImpl count as two different classes...?

Kidding aside, I always found Java as a core language (and the basic standard library for it) to be mostly fine, but the weird architecture astronaut cult that hovered around it and infected many of the commonly used libraries to be a real problem.

Maybe things are different now for the language, I haven't touched it in many years at this point.
A big problem is that homeowners understand that for the value of their "nest-egg" to appreciate, this implicitly relies on housing scarcity, and this influences the outcome of elections, which influences the outcome of government housing policy.

As home valuations become more important and critical to the wellbeing of the "middle class", any policy that would even indirectly hinder valuations comes under great criticism.

There were a number of issues in my recent municipal council election, but I cannot help but notice that the candidates suggesting to build rental housing everywhere, which would have empowered renters and hurt homeowning minor landlords that benefit from high rents, lost, and those that won suggested the status quo that would protect detached home areas, with their main housing policy suggestion being around faster renovation permitting, useful of course for those minor home owning landlords wanting to create a secondary suite to get a renter to pay off their massive mortgages.
One tends to have a lot more constraints on where one can or would prefer to live when one has kids and/or is working age.

Once the kids are out of the house and you retire you can dump the expensive house in commuting range of a high-wage city in the excellent school district, buy one half as expensive somewhere with worse schools and farther from jobs, and pocket the rest of the money.
> To be fair, I have seen the "ramble generically on the subject of the question" strategy manually implemented by humans too, in the hopes that if you throw enough BS at the question you might get partial credit by luck.

I had a college professor that knew to recognize this and actively warned against it during the mid-term and final.

He said that every question will be answerable in 2 or 3 sentences, and that if you write 2-3 paragraphs instead, he would mark you down even if the answer was correct because you're wasting his time and may have dropped in correct statements that answered the question by luck.

So often in school, we'd be getting quizzes/tests back, and I'd peek over at someone else's paper as it was being handed back and notice they wrote an entire paragraph to answer, whereas I answered it in a single sentence and got full credit for a correct answer, and I was always left wondering what the hell they wrote about.
I believe they have a feature where the compiler adds free() calls on your behalf and where it isn't sure either:

- it drops down to GC/RC (you need to ask the dev team which one exactly) or

- you manually handle the memory with `unsafe`

I think it's likely that nobody in this conversation actually disagrees with anyone else about how frequent such dependencies are.

But the "law" is not literally true, so to make it useful you have to mentally add some reservation: "no, of course I don't mean that someone will be depending on a detail like _that_".

The trouble then is that it doesn't work usefully as a piece of advice: if you're not already experienced enough to know where to draw the line, it doesn't help you get any more accurate.

It's like saying "however big you think X is, it's bigger than you thought".

But maybe I'm wrong about what you believe. Do you actually think the "law" as stated is literally true (without using a quibble like "well, there's no upper bound on what we mean by 'sufficient'")?
> the last 20 years includes one of the greatest housing crashes of all time,

We can call it a housing pause at this point, because all of that money was put back into houses. I think it is unbelievably important to remember as a baseline that world housing prices tracked inflation for 400 years. In the US they tracked inflation, there was a bump up with government housing subsidy right after WWII, then it continued to track inflation until the dot com bubble burst

After which there was hockey stick price growth, a crash, massive government intervention and transfer payments to the wealthy, mass evictions of people who couldn't pay after their ARMs moved, massive buy-ups of that property by large investors and funds, and the restoration of hockey stick price growth.

> a period of some of the cheapest housing costs we've ever seen.

Where? Are there any places that fell back to the 380 year trend line, or are there places that are reasonable compared to their price in 2006 considering inflation. We're still in a period of the most expensive housing costs ever. They've grown to precisely what they need to be to take away any disposable income, along with education and healthcare. They're completely detached from physical considerations, they're simple financial instruments. And property owners have tricked people into thinking that it's a supply problem.
> - we stop building more houses. That's what happened in 2008, and is one of the major causes of the current crisis

This will most assuredly happen. Too many people have a financial interest in keeping housing prices inflated.
No, it was exactly that, and I misremembered some details. :-P

I was still curious about the translation quality, so I checked BMCR. Here is a review that praises the translation:

Like so much in Japanese, it depends how you say it. It could be a simple acknowledgement as you describe, or it could be very emphatic to say 'you are important and I'm paying full attention' (to a teacher, parent, or official), or it could just be a 'yes' - but usually answering a question would be 'yes, that's what happened' or something similarly specific.

This is essentially a legal protection money racket. People running a racket never leave you with nothing left to lose. Most obviously because they can't come back for more. But also because people with nothing left to lose will burn down al Capone's house and not care that they are about to be killed in some horrible way.

These legal rackets know if they hit you for something you can afford to pay and keep your business running, that you aren't likely to throw it all away for empty vengeance. Cameras are everywhere now.

I think a better metric is to ask why the documentation isn't better. Nobody is ever happy with their documentation, whether they have too little or too much. But if the engineers think it's because they're being pushed too hard and there's no slack time available to write docs? Red flag. They have explicitly considered the question and realized that the effort to write the docs, compounded by the need to keep them up to date and/or the cost of allowing them to be out of date, is not worth it in their particular situation? Good sign. They feel kind of bad and guilty about the state of the docs? Too normal to be much of a sign, but still positive.

There's a vast difference between "businesses should have wheelchair ramps and accessible bathrooms" and "everything possible must be done for the disabled and borne by the people providing it".

The US ADA has struck a pretty decent balance, few people are actively against wheelchair ramps, and elevators do add to the cost of a building but most buildings of that size are moderately expensive anyway.

But imagine if it was determined that the ADA required wheelchair ramps be installed at any house that was offering candy for trick-or-treating. The result would be entirely predictable; trick-or-treating would die out.

Much of this (and perhaps this case here) could be solved by forbidding the lawyers from profiting from it - you can sue someone for violating the ADA but you can't "win damages" - any such damages won would go to the state to help provide ADA accessibility.

Assuming you're referring to generative models, I don't think that anyone (knowledgable) thinks that graphic design or creative writing are on death's door. They might change with new tools, but skilled practitioners are still required. That's basically the point of the article.
There's a lot coming down the pipe in term of next-gen components in the SOI and 3D subthreshold world, ULP (ultra-low power), MEMS (pretty much everything you find in your phone these days, outside of the CPU itself), 3D integration, the problem is summarizing it in a neat little comment. Memristors are huge, and are going to be, huge-er still. World changing huge. Which ties in to new analogue design techniques. 3D integration, which we have had for a decade, is at the tipping point as we move to new nodes and start making monolithic integration a thing. Ultra low power energy efficient compute at the edge, we're talking consuming less power in a year than it takes me to think about what I want to say when writing this comment right now. On-die microfluidic cooling for 3D dies is starting to appear. On-die sensors for new camera tech. We're edging up to a point where multiple sensors and/or a camera, compute, model inference and mesh network connectivity all exist on a single die.

I was at Claris (subsidiary of Apple at the time, my paychecks were from Apple) up in Portland right before then.

Everyone in the office was really excited about the BeOS (edit, not Steve Jobs, but a new company by former Apple employees). We had a few devices. I remember the demos where they would click on a button to turn off a processor in the GUI while rendering a mandelbrot image, and it would slow to a crawl. It was such a pretty UI.

The story of the entire team for Claris quitting six months before they tried to release Claris 5 was recently documented on HN here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32271139

I was an intern the prior summer, and they called me when the team quit to join under a co-op at University of Washington and try to release the software.

Everyone was operating on a schedule that had bonuses tied to them. We hit the middle milestone and they got their bonuses.

Since I was only a co-op and not really a full fledged employee (even though I was there with the team until 11 pm on lots of Saturday nights) they didn't give me a bonus. They gave me a leather satchel with Claris Works written on it.

It was one of the most awkward moments in my life, the rest of the team looked mortified that we were at a fancy dinner and they were receiving big 5 figure checks and I was getting a recycled piece of swag. That probably speaks to the culture at Apple at the time.

I didn't really care. As a college student at the time, I thought I was as rich as I would ever get making an annualized $32k. After my internship where I was basically playing basketball in between two hours of coding, I thought the exit interview would be "You were the worst intern ever and we hope we never see you again." But, they hired me back and it was a fun time.

You'd be surprised. For a lot of stuff Rust is a good fit, aside drivers and OSes, Java is too.

There are succesful full text search engines written in Java (Lucene, and Elasticsearch on top of it), there are succesful event streaming platforms written in Java (Kafka), there are succesful distributed data processing tools written in Java (Hadoop, Spark), databases (Cassandra), and very very high performance trading engines (LMAX), very high performing servers (rapidoid, smart-servlet), and other such things besides, all categories of which have been quite big domains for C/C++ (and thus something like Rust).

Seeing a company (as opposed to a person) choose between Java and Rust would paint a very bleak picture for their future.

To me it's an indication that programmers are getting to run wild past the technical domain, after all trying to hire for a Java codebase vs a Rust codebase is enough to kill a company depending on the space due to salary expectations and availability alone.

I've always asked (following their example) and not once had the answer be "yes, there's an early-repayment fee" so maybe it's a whole lot less common than it used to be.
