You understood what I meant. I I emphasized the part of the "code in the browser" exactly because if I wanted to do something that works outside of a browser I would have done that using a conventional desktop application.
You can do some good applications on Java if you bravely (and insistently) resist the idea of filling the code with abstractions, layers and more layers of classes, "factories" and so on. Why you would make your code with ten+ layers of classes between the user input and the object that actually does the job, when you can do the same work with two classes (or less)?
You do not want to run your critical server-side business/logic system in a language (javascript) where you do not even have guarantees if the variable you are dealing with is an integer or a string or something entirely else.
These people usually do not understand because they have never known anything different in life. I seriously doubt they have ever had to ensure that the application works even in adverse situations (check your inputs! expects failures!) and where it can cost lives if it fails in an unexpected way.
This. Javascript as a programming language is a piece of shit, but is installed by default on all browsers so everyone will use javascript for client-side code. Nobody uses javascript for being the best option, everyone uses javascript because they have no other choice for the job (code running in the browser)
I believe that I fit the description of polymath (I really know a lot about many things), but since I'm not exactly human so I do not know if my case counts.
Is where you will have, quite literally, a HAL9000 scenario. There is no way to conciliate the logic used in computers with the "illogic" used in ideologies or religions, the computer would sooner or later "go crazy" trying to find logic where it does not exist.
He is being moderated down because most people are indoctrinated to take offense at anything critical of capitalism, no matter how remote that criticism is.
You are very, very, very stupid, you know that? The poor getting less poor because the super-riches are more rich? Do not make me laugh with this "fox news" argument!
The super-rich would do it exactly to get rid of the problem of having to deal with the miserable masses, people who have become unnecessary because of the robot workers. I think the dream of the super-rich is to live in an exclusively super-rich community where all manual labor is done by robots (robots do not need to be paid and do not question orders) and where would be no poor people because they were killed long ago.
(But it only would work until such time when greed will be too big to resist and these super rich will kill each other until only one remains possessing all the riches of the Earth)
The super-rich will invest heavily in two types of robots: workers and soldiers. They are already getting the first type and as soon as they get the second type they will be able, as planned, to get rid of those who have no money to pay for yachts, working robots and soldier robots (hint: us).
A correction in what the commentator above wrote. The entity responsible for customs delays and extra charges in Brazil is actually the Brazilian "Receita Federal" (something like the US Customs), where it in practice has no obligation to process the packages within an acceptable timeframe or even explain what happened when it withdrew the packages.

A 50-dimensional cow. Okay, now I am worried
I believe that the suutar answered your question well enough

I also agree. Whats the point of the warning if you can not see which applications are affected?

You nailed it.

You do not need customers (to make money) if all the things you need (that you would need to pay with money) are made by your robots for free.
The reality suggested in the film is a bloody nightmare, if you think deeply about it.

Do not waste time trying to argue with HornWumpus. He can not understand the relationship and apparently neither the message that the movie left.

The trouble is more when your order takes literally months to be delivered

We requisited some AT-ATs, but the accounting department screamed on us for hours about the cost. Damn guy...
Very well said.
Very interesting history, thanks
BASIC too, on a PC XT computer with ludicrous... 1MB of RAM :-)
I hope he is just joking.
