    Oh, I was mistaken.

    This is the dumbest post you ever made ...

    So if there is an accidental release, they are less likely to survive in the wild than non-GMO salmon, and less likely to interbreed with wild fish, so they are environmentally safer.
    That is probably the biggest nonsense you ever wrote ...

    I'm happy I'm more or less migrating to Thailand.

    Most fish is "farmed" here, and is rather boring, just Nil perch and catfish. But it is so delicious made on char coal. (Obviously I can buy sea fish and trouts farmed in the Chiang Mai area).

    Farmed means: everyone has a pond, full with fish. No need to GMO anything, and I bet you could do the same in the US ... but alas ... profit profit profit.

    Perhaps you should simply get used to it that there are "early birds" and "night owls".
    No idea why people always want to press "their schedule" on other people who have a different "bio rhythm".

    DST was never intended to "save power",
    In Europe it was. The idea was people switch on the lights later. Especially shopping malls etc. However no one bothered to change the programming of shopping window lights.

    Yeah,
    but is it not insane that little children have to be at school before the parents have to be at work?

    There's no such thing as "extended daylight" due to a change in wall time.
    Yes, there is, idiot.

    I never tried the new keyboard, so I have no idea how it feels.

    Hu?

    Why would Apple tell you such nonsense? After all if a dongle kills your laptop the dongle vendor is liable.

  18. I mean, it's all very well and good that they stepped up and paid it out, but can someone explain why the company would actually obligated be obligated to honor such terms?
    Why would it not?

    The same thing that makes unconscionable terms in a contract such as selling your children into slavery as unenforceable would

    But it is mounted under /Volumes and not at a random place belonging to root.

  22. That is only semi correct.
    An singe user Mac has an account that has an "is admin flag", and that simply only means: he can use sudo.
    So: you still need to escalate somehow to root to do anything meangful.

  23. Re:Change is obsolete on Philadelphia Bans Cashless Stores (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I once gave a cashier 3EUR in three piles of coins, each pile 1EUR in total. Simplified: 10 x 10Cent, 5 x 20Cent, 1x 50Cent + 2 x 20Cent + 1 x 10Cent.

    He was so confused he simply mixed them and started counting.

  24. In Java it looks more or less simply exact the same ... -> than => and thats it.
    It is just grumpy idiots complaining (sorry if that includes the college professor above)

    Heck when we used IntellJ with Java 7, it displayed complicated anonymous classes as text in lambda style.

    Or is this something about Java culture?
    Probably. Everyone who is not programming in Java is bitching about Java. And meanwhile all Java developers are so insecure that they believe: there must be something true with that bitching :P

  25. The main effect of lambdas, however, is to hide data types, so that weak developers don't actually know what interfaces and data types they are using.
    That is nonsense. You pass lambdas as arguments to functions. And the datatype of the parameter is clearly given in the functions/methods parameter list.

    So, doubling down on stupid, they introduce "var", so those weak developers really don't have to know what types they're using. That is nonsense, too. On the right side of the 'var a = ' part the type is clearly written by instanciating an object of that type :P

    Students new to programming can no longer start with a current version of Java - the changes in Java 9/10/11 have made things just too complex for new users. I have rolled back to Java 8 for the moment. I have spoken with a number of other college level Java instructors, all of whom feel the same way.
    That is a pita indeed!
