who could not write an OS or even a trivial part, like the C library signal trampoline, to save their ass, because they are in this walled garden/protected environment where they are "safe" from having to actually deal with real hardware.
so you say that java creates an environment where you can hire developers that don't have MIT master's degrees and you can expect them to be able to do useful work?
Later encounters over the years only reinforced my opinion.
yes indeed, I've been to six Red Sox games in the past decade, and they lost all six of them, so therefore I will extrapolate that they never ever win any games.
It is a shame the world doesn't pay more attention to Scheme.
scheme is indeed a fun language, but there are vanishingly few programmers out there who can wrap their heads around the "call-with-current-continuation" mechanism.
I was just dealing with a large medical client yesterday whose big name time tracking app requires v6 (v6!) of Java, while our own medical app requires v8.
yeah blame java because your boss is too cheap to upgrade
java gets the EXACT SAME SUPPORT and the EXACT SAME LOVE on OSX that it does on linux. I've never run into an instance where a java program would run on linux but not on OSX.
writing a small application without an IDE is really difficult task in Java... due to the strong dependence on boilerplate code.
that's a stinking load of bollocks
I wrote a java front end for tar, that makes it multi-threaded. I use it to make backups. It's maybe 4 or 5 pages of java. It's just one file, no IDE, no makefile, no build.xml, no nothing, just a.java file that compiles into 4 or 5.class files. It's easier to work with and easier to port than ANY C or C++ program of equivalent size.
I believe in multiple small governments, who together provide the necessary defense from external forces but which do not have the ability to concentrate (and thus corrupt) power absolutely.
none of them will be able to stop each other from pouring poisons into each other's rivers

How exactly would raising funds for his political campaign help him personally?
are you serious? "fund raising" means you work the network of donors, meeting people, making connections, increasing your political cred. it increases your exposure. It means you can charge more money for speaking fees. Just ask the Clintons how they made so much money. They worked the system and they made reputations for themselves and now they can make more money in one speech than we will make in our lifetimes. Who would not want in on the action?
the rather obvious point is that our legislative rules are specifically designed so that congress accomplishes nothing when there is no majority to push things forward
Should the government be mandating 200 vaccine shots for every citizen, regardless of outcome
really? do you have any actual data beyond "I have heard of them too" to corroborate your claim? I'm guessing not because you would be more than gleeful to post any link .
"regardless of outcome" Well let's look at how many people died from these diseases before we had vaccines and look at how many people have a negative reaction to vaccines. What is the outcome? Far far fewer deaths.
It's one thing to believe the Cold War never ended, and another to interpret Russia's latest aggression as a recent happening that really isn't tied to a perceived constant goal of theirs.
The cold war was ALL ABOUT pushing back against Soviet expansion.
The current condition in the Ukraine is ALL ABOUT Russian expansion.
So what is happening in the Ukraine is PRECISELY the very same "cold war" that has been going on the whole time.
Many people say Russia's current actions are just a desperate attempt to reclaim some of its former glory.... steps it wasn't really taking in earnest for at least the last couple decades or so.
So you weren't paying attention when Russia was fighting a full-on war in Afghanistan "to regain their former glory"?
You apparently haven't paying attention to the Russian space program, operating "in full glory" for decades to the point where we are using their rockets to boost our astronauts into space? This capability does not happen overnight, it is the result of decades of EARNEST work in the field.
but when they come out of the mouth of a guy who says:
"I've heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines."
then you really have to come to the conclusion that he says what he says in order to get press exposure, because clearly his remarks have no ground in "integrity" or "honesty" or anything like that

In C++, your object's destructor is cleanly called when the object is deleted or goes out of scope.
Yes we all know that C++ objects know how to automatically call their destructor when they figure out that they are no longer needed /snark

I can remember lots of times when people have done stupid things in SQL, XML, C, C++, football, cooking, mystery novels. etc.
That does not mean that any of those things are bad.

Yeah. When I saw in which direction Java was going, I thought to me: "thanks, I've had COBOL once, Don't need a second serving"
java has been my meal ticket for over a decade, it puts food in my pantry and a spring in my step.

My usual tools (top, lsof, netstat, etc.) are almost worthless because the Java app runs everything under one PID. Same with strace.
as if you don't have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM with a multithreaded C++ app
Apple has never been all that supportive of Java.
another stinking load of bollocks

Denmark, Germany, France. All of them seem to be getting along just fine without a police state.

What a silly question, he's a Senator, every day a Senator is alive they weigh the option of running for President!
Yeah there's no doubt that when Strom Thurmond was 100 years old he was weighing the option of running for President.
How exactly would raising funds for his political campaign help him personally?

well I'm canceling out your vote, too
You are a victim of media manipulation. Here's your sign.
the word "filibuster" does not appear in the article you have linked to
The value of this filibuster is sustaining hope.

we do care about those things
but when they come out of the mouth of a guy who says:
"I've heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines."
then you really have to come to the conclusion that he says what he says in order to get press exposure, because clearly his remarks have no ground in "integrity" or "honesty" or anything like that
it's in quotes because he's the little boy who cries wolf and everybody has stopped paying attention to him
in case you aren't paying attention, he's running for president
in case you aren't paying attention, he stood up and did this because he is running for president
he was there for several other occasions when the patriot act was being debated, he did not filibuster any of those times
but now that he is running for president...
when people run for president, we care about ALL of their political positions, not just one
