I wish Java was declared deprecated back in 2017 when Kotlin was adopted for Android and supported by Spring. It was the only sensible way forward for JVM. Sure with containerization there’s some debate for the necessity of JVM at all but its GC and runtime optimizations are nice.
I am a programmer but I’m not sure why people think Java is suited for anything, especially a system so sensitive to bugs. It’s so hard to write high quality readable code in Java. Everything is way more clunky, and verbose than it needs to be.
Some major improvements were made with versions 17+ but still, it feels like walking through mud.
It’s a language from the 1990s for the 1990s.
Btw the performance is actually pretty good in Java, the old reputation for slowness is entirely undeserved today.
Imagine the irony if Musk actually has a self-aware AI which hates him and sabotages him at every step
But how? The thing is utterly dumb. How do you even have a conversation without quitting in frustration from it’s obviously robotic answers?
But then there’s people who have romantic and sexual relationships with inanimate objects, so I guess nothing new.
Ok, no great loss. If they really want to keep hiring, nothing stops them from opening an office where the candidates are. They are multinational companies after all.
There’s nothing contradictory in it. This specific mix was never hugely popular but it doesn’t require any cognitive dissonance, all of those are separate ideas.
Interesting they chose Paraguay of all places, the country that had extremely anti-racist policies in the beginning of the 19th century. This was 1893 though, long past those ideas were gone.
I don’t understand the resistance to changing platforms that many people and especially companies show.
For example the company I work for refuses to consider anything except Xitter. Casually talking with the people running social media, I concluded they think about platforms as a fixed fact of nature, rather than something flexible that you can experiment with.
There’s basically a minimal cost to having a multi-platform presence. Copy/paste your posts to 3 places, there are even tools to automate it.
Nice. Also, I’d like to see weight as one of the filter/sort options.
36% of all mammals! That’s a lot actually. I’m less surprised about livestock being 60%, sounds plausible, but humans being half of the livestock mass that is very surprising.
lol, because if they work 40-hour weeks they might create it a couple of weeks later
I forgot Skype still exists. They killed it a long time ago, now they will just make it official
lol somebody wrote a whole analysis why
The author is very likely female and Chinese.
a simple click on the author’s profile shows he’s a French man
Interesting observations. The behavior on dating apps is prime stuff for sociological research. I wonder what even more data from really big apps could reveal.
The author doesn’t seem to question the current role of dating in society and takes it as a given, but that’s fine observing phenomena from within the system is not invalid.
Interesting, there’s people who basically live full time up there, for 1-2 years at a time.
This is very common in the EU. The majority of news sites do it. I believe it’s technically legal because they aren’t under obligation to provide a free access at all
I’d rather present it as a non-overlapping Venn diagram. It’s not the level, those are different skills completely
They got it way in advance in 2023 and made sure to ban it preemptively
Just for comedic value I’d like for God to actually exist. I imagine He wouldn’t appreciate their attempts at manipulation.
Sometimes this kind of people sounds like they believe in the Bible and prophecies as impersonal laws of nature, and not in an intelligent creator of any sort.
