You'll have to go and ask the legislators what they were imagining. Thankfully it's not being interpreted quite as literally. Sometimes pragmatism saves the day.
> Nowadays, the speed of development for statically typed languages is much faster, thanks to improvements in tooling

What you static camp guys don't seem to understand is that tooling is not that important, it's just a minor multiplicator that caps out pretty fast. You can't turn nurse into a surgeon by giving her a sharper scalpel.

Most engineers that had Java background I interacted with had a tendency to over-engineer. It's not because they had bad tools, it's because Java has a culture of over-engineering, which they soaked in and embraced. Tools & language are getting better - that's great. But that does not automatically fix the culture, which might take another decade or two.

"It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration."

At this point, Java is like BASIC. You can fix the language all you want, but you also need to fix the culture. It's not going to happen while most people won't even admit there is a problem.

There's a reason Zen of Java is a joke: https://medium.com/@ratherabstract/the-zen-of-java-edd99991f...

No :)

No :)

Yes

a) I Co-run the Data Science Weekly newsletter.

b) I was a mod of https://www.reddit.com/r/datascience/ from 15k to 30k members and people were asking that about 5 to 6 years ago. The sub now has ~829k members and that question still comes up.

> The number of opportunities also seem to be dwindling
The reason for this is that initial it was "data science", then it was "data science and machine learning researcher", then it was "data science and data engineerings and machine learning researcher", then it was "ai, data scientists, machine learning researcher, machine learning engineering, data engineer, nlp", etc. So the jobs have multiplied but so have the position titles as well. So while you could just search for data scientist positions before you now have to get a bit more specific.
Not updating the cache before/when asking for CC information is at the very least knowingly ignoring the problem, and likely intentionally ignoring the problem because the user is more likely to continue anyway once you've tricked them into giving their CC information and they just need to click yes to be done...

I hope jurisdictions that have "truth in advertising" laws bring the hammer down on such "negligent" violations.
Noise cancelling headphones are the complement to earplugs. Earplugs do exactly as you want, they remove high frequency noise but pass low frequency noise.

Use both together to remove all noise, or one or the other as a high/low pass filter.
