Spelling, the ability of it or the lack thereof does not work like that. Most astonishing is that the english speaking people are unable to acknowledge that english is an extremely difficult to spell language, compared with Italian, Finish, German or Japanese or Thai.
I for my part are what I would call 'a superiour reader'. You can make a very long or medium long sentence which is supposed to contain the word 'rain' and if you typoed or autocorrected it to 'reign', I would never notice. I always would read it as the supposed 'rain'.
Obviously it is not the same for you, otherwise you would not rant about your perceived disability of other people to spell correctly.
Just because I have a typo somewhere does not mean I don't know how the word should be spelled. OTOH, there are plenty of words, where I don't know how they are spelled, so the spelling correction hopefully underlines them red;)
In ancient times there was no agreed 'we spell like this' way of writing. It was more important WHAT you wrote than HOW you spelled it.
I still adhere to that idea. And luckily there are countries, like France, where it is widely accepted that spelling is dam difficult in some languages.
Programming is more of an art then a knowledge exercise. I strongly disagree. That attitude gave us bug ridden software, security flaws and arrrg! The GIMP. As in all human activities the progression is more like this: trade skill: craftsman, journeyman, master of trade, programmer engineering: bachelor, master, software egineer, PhD science: software scientist (overlaps with the previous one), PhD art: artist
While you might have an artistic demand on yourself on all levels, you hardly can claim to be an artist before you are a master of trade. An I would put it behind PhD.
Was it Priceton or MIt, or Carnegie Melow which was considering to have computer science education after PhD, called 'master of fine Arts in Computer Science'?
If you suddenly find a million Euros in there that you weren't expecting and decide to spend it, you stole that money. Actually not. The guy who made the wrong transfer can cancel it.
Such mistakes happened and the receivers did not get charged. Especially if it is an error of the bank, as a twisted account number.
C/C++ is pretty dead, mainly only used in embedded environments and as system languages for the OS. Swift obvioulsy is strong on Macs and iOS, I wonder why you miss that. Rust is growing in the Mozilla world. Python is very strong in scientific data processing, e.g. climate research (processing in the sense of transforming formats and doing low level aggregations stuff, not in the sense of models)
C# is relatively strong in relation to Java in UK and USA, Germany and France are mainly Java (we actually have a serious lack of C# developers in Germany, because to many historical projects got started in C# when it was "en vogue", but developers hate it. java is so much more superior, well, at least the eco system)
So: yes, in my area you are right, no one wants to use C#. However Python is popular, for scripting in build and deploy environments e.g.
Well, as far as I can tell the Java eco system s much more mature than the.Net one. And comments in XML (as in C#) who's brain dead idea was that?
and made native compilers with native heavyweight gui methods but who am I kidding? And gone would be cross platform.
Anyway, if you need something like that, there are plenty of Java to native code compilers, just google a bit (Avian e.g.) and you can use SWT (oh chudder) as native GUI... you pervert.
Java EE is more than Spring offers as 'alternative'.
E.g. SOAP and REST based on annotations. Or lets say, Java EE defines them and Spring impements parts it sees fit and gives alternatives to other parts.
Spring was a nice alternative when EJBs still were heavy weight. Right now I don't realy see a reason for it.
The only case they would have had would have been in Trademarks. There is clearly no copyright infringement, and patents hardly can apply to copying an API.
If you have a power outage during a commit, it is always incomplete, aka corrupt. Perhpas you should read a book about it?
is a far cry from todays systems where you loose everything since the last time you pressed save. Get a Mac then?
Now some word processors does an autosave every 5 or 10 minutes but that is way to seldom (and I'm talking about all and every computer program and not just word processors) Why don't you check the menu? Go into settings? Set autosave to 30 seconds? Can't be so hard to get a clue about how software works...
I only had the german version, but it was hilariously funny.
Playing 2:00AM at night, a voice from the off "Your monsters demand a cable TV!" 4:00AM a voice from the off "We al know you are at sleep, let the monsters sleep, too! They did their share of butchering knights to night already!" Or similar stuff, cant remember:D the exact words.
I was usually playing with my GF, she in her room and I in mine, not sure if it was cooperative, but at some point she would get the voice from the off and then I would get it.
So funny.
And the game was great. Imagine a Dungeon Keeper on the iPad, I guess I would have to apply for social aid as I would be unable to work anything.
They got sued because Java is a trademark. Using the trademark requires that you follow all Java standards. E.g. portability of the byte code.
Google/Android basically don't use the trademark. They reimplemented a bunch of "API's" and Oracle came and said: "You do Java, but you do it wrong".
Google answered: now, we don't do Java in the sense of the trademark. We use "Java, the language" and a few clean room implemented API's/libraries. (in italics because it is not clean room in the original sense, but since Java exists people have a problem grasping what a clean room implementation really is).
Of course with cross compiling existing Java tools (does Google have its own javac?) google is a bit on thin ice, on the other hand all the tools involved are GPL. The Google VM is their own thing. Just because "Java the language" is involved and GPLed Java libraries I don't see a violation in terms of usage for the word Java (the platform).
However an attempt to open source (it likely is?) the Dalvik VM and have running Dalvik VMs on MacOS or Linux would be interesting. (I googled for it a while ago, but the results where not promising).
I hungry for an JBC interpreter on iOS since ages. We have ahead of time compilers like Avian, but an interpreter would allow to work more with reflection, bytecode morphing, runtime code generation, integration of languages like Groovy, useable for scripting the main application. Something like HyperCard, runnning in a JVM with Groovy as scripting language...
Oh, and NUCLEAR BAD!! Because strip mining the planet for rare earth metals to make windmills, batteries, and solar panels has NO IMPACT on the environment. How often do I need to tell you: a) rare earths are not rare, it just a name. If you honour regulations it is no problem mining them b) the only rare earth for windmills is Niob, used for magnets which is waste product in iron mining c) 99% of all solar panels don't use rare earth metals
Get a damn clue and stop repeating the same myths over and over again.
Slashdot Mirror
Doc comments in C# are in XML ... probably you never document your code.
Reality: C# and .NET is now years ahead of Java in most aspects.
Any example?
They are also fully cross platform and open source.
They are not. No GUI or network library, for iOS, Android or Linux or mac OS.

Originally, comming from cultures from the east, the symbol was a symbol of luck.
Representing the wheel of the sun, and hence the wheel of time.
However in other cultures it was used as symbol for a wolf trap.

There actually have been quite a few very successful Sumo Tori that were around your weight.
I would buy that car!
Smart car!
How much?

That varies by county and usage.

Yeah, got it meanwhile :)
I was reading backward aka in timely order.
Yeah ... unusable. Works only with an internet connection.
I only play games when I have no internet connection, obviously.

Thai Buddhism has no gods.
Basically all Buddhists have no gods.
They simply accept that there are gods, but they don't pray to them. Then comes the complex stuff with avatars and reborn gods on earth ...
I dont get what your Rama IX/X thing is about. Thailand today is formed by Rama IX. Rama X did nothing os far, but lets see.

You are definitley an idiot.
Thorium is useable for nuclear reactors, but freshly mined thorium is in no way weapon grade.
If you have bollocks laws in the USA, then change them, but stop claiming that renewable energy sources need rare earth elements. They don't.
Repeating that in dozens of posts since months: that is a lie.
AppleScript is super buggy right now.
So yes, an OSS version would be great.
OTOH you can do via the OSAScript interface everything AppleScript can do via basically any programming language.
Check out Automator, too. It is quite powerful.
Yeah!

That already exists, it is called "Qt", like probably 2 decades.

Fair use, especially reimplementing an API, has nothing to do with the GPL.
