And the amount of server-side legacy code being replaced by Java is staggering. Legacy code is considered obsolete, and is being replaced just about everywhere it exists.
I don't work in the cable industry. The amount of code that's being refactored towards Java is in, and of itself, mind blowing.
I'm sorry, you're relying on a 3rd party website, with content uploaded by persons pretty much unknown to find out about this stuff? Is that a sensible thing to be doing?
Why don't the manufacturers have such guides. Stop ranting on 3rd parties who don't have to carry whatever content you think should be there and look to the original manufacturers website perhaps?
Totally agree with this. The front page is pure crap. It's almost cause for me to actually log on and filter to what I want (numberphile, minutephysics and some other geeky stuff), but I shouldn't have to. Maybe the front page should be a search box like google's own search homepage?
We had a not too similar situation when we decommissioned our old COBOL system. The developers were of more mature years (50+), but instead of just letting them go, they were moved into more of a BA role. They have a lot of domain knowledge built up from years of working on a monolithic system, it transferred quite well to doing business analysis and converting it into specs for devs on the new tech.
They also had better people skills than green devs, which is rather important when trying to understand WTF the business wants or means
They also don't understand:
-- Today, each bitcoin transaction requires the same amount of energy used to power nine homes in the U.S. for one day--
Ummm no, each mined coin might take a large amount of energy, but the transaction costs are pretty much fixed and are nowhere near as onerous.
I think you missed the point. Companies might be running their business logic contained in Docker, but the underlying logic is not written in Go. Doesn't need to be. Ours is written in Java and some small bits in C# and CoffeeScript (I think). I'd bet the majority of companies are not going to replace their well-known, easy-to-resource, stable (as in, isn't easily deprecated) 'old' language with Go just because that's what the container runs.
Thats not the main point though.
Anyone can fork a github repo and continue working on it. The problem lies in adoption.
If a well known and used repo, say github.com/foo-tool is used by many other projects and the sole maintainer and only permitted committer passes away, there is no-one around to continue in that repo. It would have to be forked. It takes time and a bit of patience for a fork of a known project to start being accepted as a dependency in others.
Maybe github (and others) should have some form of project donation, where a project can be donated to another owner after a certain period of inactivity. Like a dead-mans switch.
The poorly installed panels are designed to be maintenance cost-cows for Musk, and they will have to be scrapped ASAP.
Poorly designed? Any evidence for that, apart from your irrational hatred of a man who is actually trying to do something the establishment are refusing to do?
Given the choice of:
a. Having power back on in the hospital, so lives can be saved; or
b. Having a luxury of parking space so people can travel to the hospital in cars (even when the roads are screwed up?!)
I know which I'd prefer. Even long term it makes sense but you have to admit getting the power back on was top priority and screw anything else.
Those amounts are pocket change for those companies, hardly blowing excessive amounts.
Its like you or I dropping £1 in the local candidate collection tin at the station.
Not impressed, doesn't prove anything, and why should anyone even care?
Maybe because they're not trying to prove anything? Maybe their actual goal is to improve general purpose algorithms by an iterative approach? Like it says in the article. Which you read of course.
Would that be those banksters who are taking a serious interest in blockchain technology, even so far as to conduct test deals between multiple entities using said tech? Those banksters who will try anything and everything if it earns them more money?

# divide out (a - b)
Can't do that boss, a=b so you're trying to divide by zero.
'Nearly six in 10 said they would have used public transportation, walked, biked or skipped the trip if the ride-hailing apps weren't available'
So, what did the other 4 do? They must have made the trip somehow. Personal car, or 'normal' taxi? Hovercraft? Skateboard?
There's a futures market for Bitcoin. You can be short on the position, i.e. be the party that will deliver at the price.

And I also think that the fact that Twitter is considered a communications channel AT ALL is disturbing.
FTFY.
I think you need to vent your frustration at your bank for them developing an app that can't be supported on older OS'.

You can buy any fraction of a Bitcoin on most exchanges, you don't have to go all in and buy ONE.
They also don't understand: -- Today, each bitcoin transaction requires the same amount of energy used to power nine homes in the U.S. for one day-- Ummm no, each mined coin might take a large amount of energy, but the transaction costs are pretty much fixed and are nowhere near as onerous.
Hmmm, fond memories of typing that, hitting play on the tape deck and praying it would load...

People have been saying this for some time now, but even the incremental products still sell in vast quantities, and the markets still love AAPL.
"Trick or Treat" has also become prevalent here with kids going door to door for Hallowe'en - that's only in the last 20 years or so.
Most of the kids around me were using 'Happy Hallowe'en', my own included. We're British, we don't wish tricks on anyone.

Ummm, Go still isn't solvable. Not in the mathematical sense; there are just way too many moves to determine who should win from any given position.
quit trying to apply old-world ideas to predict a new-world invention!
So you think that "new-world inventions" are impervious to the laws of economics? SMH
You think the laws of economics apply to something that wasn't even conceived when said laws were dreamt up?
