  1. Those comments are wrong on Ask Slashdot: How Dead Is Java? (jaxenter.com) · · Score: 1

    "The licensing scheme for Java kills it..."

    OPEN JDK. How hard is that?

    "Java programs still are 'the alien on your desktop'. They suck in many ways. Users have learned to avoid them and install 'real programs' instead..."

    Apparently they have never heard of Java Native Packaging? With JavaFX you can skin your app any way you like with CSS. With the module system and jlink you can create small runtime packages. What's the problem?

    It seems there's still a lot of misinformation out there from clowns with their 1990's view of Java.

  2. It's not dangerous on Hanford Nuclear Waste Cleanup Makes Progress, But Questions Loom (ieee.org) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    We can add it to soy to kill off leftists. 2 birds with 1 stone.

  6. Re:Security on Popular WordPress Plugin WPML Hacked By Angry Former Employee (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    A better question is why does garbage like WordPress still exist.

  9. Joe Rogan Experience #1218 - Gad Saad

  10. LOL if I were tolerant left I would say all cultures are the same. REEEEEEEEEEEE.

    The reality is that Chinese that emigrate are reminded that they have family members still in China. They use that to coerce "hacking" (ie usb sticks) to get corporate information. No Chinese friends? Ply them with a few drinks and ask them.

  11. More great results on Monarch Butterfly Numbers Plummet 86 Percent In California (usatoday.com) · · Score: 0

  12. seems? Feels over reals? These are spies. They should be in gitmo.

    They should have "granted" her gitmo.

  17. Java and JavaFX on Electron and the Decline of Native Apps (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    JavaFX is turning out to be a really nice solution now with the module system. You can build cross platform applications with native installers with much a smaller JVM. And you can use real languages like Java, Scala, Kotin etc...

  18. Do Democrats In Congress WANT TO? on Can Democrats In Congress Restore America's Net Neutrality Rules? (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

  21. How TF do you know? Scientists only understand 4.6% of the universe.

  22. No, JavaFX crushes WPF.

  23. We will be on COM and IE forever until we can print to specific printers with margin settings and have no dialog box and have a callback when the printing hits the printer queue.

  24. Explained on Who'd Go To University Today? (spiked-online.com) · · Score: 1

    Leftie: "Everyone should go to University! It's a Human Right!"
    Normie: "Er, everyone can go to university. What's the problem?"
    Leftie: "NOOO! Poor Brown people can't because Poor, Brown, Misogyny, Racism, Patriarchy, NAZIS!"
    Normie: "Huh? We have bursary and scholarship programs. Kids with good grades can fill out a form and get their education paid for. So what's the problem?"
    Leftie: "REEEEEEEEEEEE! Everyone should go to University! It's a Human Right! REEEEEEEEEEEE!"
    Normie: (sigh) "Ok, assuming you're right, how do you propose to pay for all that. University education is expensive."
    Leftie: "Well tax the rich of course! Tax the evillll corporations!"
    Normie: "Fuck Off"

    Leftie thinks about this for a while rubbing 2 brain cells together then comes back.

    Leftie: "I've got it! Why not a student loan program! We can setup yet another government bureaucracy to manage it! Big Government YAY!"
    Rightie: "Hmmm, my banker friends would like that. They can profiteer from that. I think we need to ask University Administrators what they think of this."
    Universities: "So what you're saying is we can take everyone in and we'll just get paid no matter what? HOLY SHIT THAT'S FANTASTIC!!!!"

    Results:

    Now Universities are all about asses-on-seats and not about higher learning.
    It gets worse. Universities pressure professors and threaten their tenure if they fail too many students. Sorry Quantum Field Theory is hard...
    It gets worse. Universities emphasize retardo courses like gender studies, intersectionality, postmodernism, Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc..
    It gets worse. Kids get saddled with 50000 of debt and useless degrees living at home with mommy and daddy into their 30's.
    It gets worse. Now we have a situation where universities can charge whatever they want for tuition fees. 200+% over CPI.
    It gets worse. Because courses get dumbed down Industry has trouble finding good candidates and therefore look outside. > 50% PHDs are H1B visas.

    Solution: Kill the student loan programs. Whoops not so easy when the Banks, Government and University Administrations all support it.
