Neither. I just have this ad here that says just that. With the higher tier internet only available as a bundle with cable anyway. As if you only need more than 20/2 if you also watch cable TV for some odd reason.
Yes, that's another thing. But if you only have code monkeys that were taught how to "code" in a 8 week seminar with zero idea of the basics of computer science, who consider the heap the pile of clothing in their room and the O-notation something that grades the quality of porn movies, you might actually be better off with languages where you can't fuck up too much. They won't benefit from the speed advantages a language closer to the processor may grant them while they will benefit from the handrails and training wheels available in the more self-sealing languages.
And that's basically the net problem you're looking at. Whether it's C++ vs. Java or whether it's Meltdown and Spectre vs. speculative execution.
Yes, you can do everything you do in C++ in Java. Just more slowly. Why? Because of exactly the safety belts that you ask for. Can they be implemented in C++? Sure. For about the same cost. So is Java better because it already has them while you have to take care of them yourself in C++? Depends, if you need them, yes. If you don't need them and all you care about is speed, no.
The question is what do you want? Security? Then you'll have to sacrifice performance. That's not negotiable.
My superior is also no expert in infosec. But he knows enough to know what shit's important and what's just fluff. And for the stuff that needs experts, he has me and my crew. I, on the other hand, know little about his job, with the juggling of finances and smooching investors and whatnot. I just know enough about which asses are important and should be kissed and which ones are not and can be kicked if they get into the way.
Little hint: If it contains "cyber" in its name, it's fluff.
By hiring a Consultant that tells you which people are the right ones.
And that Consultant you hire based on recommendations from the friends you play golf with.
I've been invited to play at the C-Level a while ago. You quickly learn how things are done up here. It's actually pretty easy once you realize that money only matters when it comes to expenses for people who actually work, but nobody questions any expenses for consulting. Ever.
Or they want to show it to "them" and vote for the OTHER asshole! That's gonna show them!
Every time I hear that, I get reminded of the stupidity machine in Zak McKracken, where you can switch the lever to go from one "maximum stupidity" to the OTHER "maximum stupidity" setting.
So, in other words, it's like the cable providers that claim so-and-so-many people use their cable TV when the only reason these people have that cable TV subscription is that internet bundled with it is actually cheaper and faster than internet alone?
So what? Yes, the channels I visit have maybe 100k subscribers. Maybe 200k. Some even less than that. Do they no longer exist now that T-whatever is the biggest channel? Do I have to watch their stuff now?
Even better, adjust their broadcasting times to each other so it looks like a military vehicle driving, which could prompt the use of the aforementioned HARM.
Good. Maybe at some point people will start to ignore that bullshit as they did when everything was "terrorism". Once a sentence starting with "I identify as..." is met with a "whatever" response, we can maybe return to normality.
I can understand his position, though. That money would be taken from the Jews. That was a fact. The only thing he could influence was whether it goes to another Jew.
You can justify it that way for yourself. Just as you can justify killing the Jews because if you didn't do it, someone else would have.

Yes it is. Some are pretty good at playing dumb, you can barely tell them from the humans.
Bill Gates doesn't threaten the status quo.

Ok, we're in agreement... discussing with you is no fun.
I'll go find me a flat earther.
But ... but ... everyone should be a programmer! They should teach it in schools so EVERYONE learns how to write code!

Until you arrive in callback hell, that is.
Not require an i7 to run like you have a 386.
Well, I'm not sure about that, but international politics sure resembles some kind of soap opera.
What has one to do with the other? Just look at how many people evade taxes that don't even bother to think about becoming POTUS.

Why should Japan be different from the rest of the world when it comes to filling political positions?
No, by secretary.
Or they want to show it to "them" and vote for the OTHER asshole! That's gonna show them!

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!
It would have made all the change. Trust me.

Calm down, relax and ignore it.
Even better, adjust their broadcasting times to each other so it looks like a military vehicle driving, which could prompt the use of the aforementioned HARM.

Gender is a very significant part of how we perceive and understand others.
How? At least in a professional environment? What exactly is the difference between talking to a male or female developer?
He's an opportunist. Not just in name like me.

One of those people you don't want as ally OR enemy.
The best you can hope for is that his interests align with yours.
Sorry. I cannot.
