Yes, but the myths are all about rain, and the retreating glaciers did not cause that. There are assumed three floods. Two caused by volcanoes around the great lakes (which would cause a quick sea level rise and tsunamis) and the third one by an asteroid/comet impact. However that was also supposed to have happened on the north american ice shield. But Greenland is close.
It is impossible to build an operating system in Java or Python No, it is not. There are plenty of OSes written in Java.
C and C++ do not hide the underlying machine Yes, they do. For starters: you have no access to registers. And for more information I suggest to read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
memory is a singular long sequence of bytes. Strictly speaking no, it is a sequence of "words" of arbitrary length.
Python and Java must be written in either assembly language or a "true to the machine" language like C or C++. No, Python is written in Python and Java is written in Java.... Oh?! You mean the virtual machine? There are plenty of Java Virtual machines out there that are written in... Java. Wow... surprised?
The compilers were total crap and incompatible between vendors, That is irrelevant.
the specifications were poor, aids like STL didn't exist or were too buggy to use, "best practices" had not yet been identified, and there were few modern software quality tools to help. Best Practices did exist and C++ had a lint just like C: always!
You can write an OS in any language. There are actually a few OSes written in Java...
So we have compiler languages like C/C++ that require you to actually be a competent programmer who can write code with proper error checking and error handling. Error checking etc. is the same in any language... you know nothing about programming.
assembly language. Yes, Virginia, we still use assembly language in some places, so far as I know. Then you really have to know what you're doing. You need to know what you are doing in any language. Assembly is not particular difficult... it is only extremely ineffective in programming in it.
Guess what: in a day you write perhaps 100 lines of code. And the language you use does not change that amount of lines much. So: the higher level of abstraction your language offers, the more "business code" you are actually achieving with those 100 lines.
COBOL actually is a *good* language. It is only out of fashion. It is probably the best language for text input/output where formatting is complicated.
So again, if you use bare to the metal code, know what your doing! And what exactly has bare to the metal to do with "there was code that zeroed out all the data between calls."?
So, if I zero our an array in Java, I'm not bare to the metal, but when I do it in assembly, I am?
and get help if you're not sure. The people making those "mistakes" are sure that they don't need help.
Or do you really think people are such idiots that they stop every 3 lines of code and realize themselves: "Oh! I'm not sure about this! But I just write it this way!" ?
No, they are much bigger idiots, because they don't realize that they are not sure... but that is actually not idiotic, or is it?
Neutron activation and a melt down have nothing to do with each other.
Would I be willing to live next to a fusion reactor? Sure. Current technology? No. You can't. They are far away from habitated areas for a reason: neutron flux. There is a reason why the reactor gets evacuated and the scientists are underground during experiments: neutron flux. The biggest concern is a tritium leak, but tritium isn't very dangerous, dissipates rapidly, doesn't bioaccumulate No it is not. It is a GAS. It is more or less the weight of hydrogen, hence it floats up towards space. It does bioaccumulate as it reacts with oxygen and results in water, 70% of your body is water. 12 years half life: is not good:D So why you emphasize that is beyond me...
Many "scientists" examinating old sites like stone henge or sites like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... believe that "the flood" happened about 12000 years ago, just before the end of the ice age. The reason is that magalitic stone sites like this have astronomic properties that point to a particular point in sky. (All over the planet big monuments point to the same point).
That is the suns rising point during the spring equinox 12000 years ago, researchers believe that this is a "time reference". Many sites also show references for water or flooding, as in pictures or smaller buildings pointing to the sign of aquarius. But why that sign would be generally associated with water, I have no idea:D
Yes, I believe that the flood myths we have have a core of truth. Otherwise not every single tribe on the planet had a flood myth. And it is plausible that we once had a civilization on the level of industrialized England 1890 or so, 12000 years ago. Just look at the difference in sea level during the last ice age and now.
Australia was connected with Asia via a land bridge from Indonesia. Japan was connected north and south with China. The mediteranean sea was mostly dry land. Great Britain was connected with mainland Europe... If there was a high level civilization somewhere and the sea level rose rapidly (and having an impact with weeks of rain) would even be havoc for our civilization today.
Yeah, enterprise java books that are over 10 years old are not selling good. The environment is changing to fast. If you ever want to write again in that area perhaps try to make it language/environment agnostic.
I liked this one e.g. https://www.amazon.com/exec/ob... still have it at my fathers place. Gosh, I should make an inventory of all my books...
The only EV that can feed power back into the grid in Europe is the very latest version of the Nissan Leaf combined with a home DC charger. Ha ha, you mix up: factory ready with custom made. The vehicles in the test projects obviously are equipped accordingly. Anyway, as I worked in one of those projects as consultant: I know. You believe or assume.
That would be relevant if I stated that natural gas was a great fuel for buses and trucks. If you did not, then you should add it to your arguments list, as it actually is a perfect fuel.
The last time definitely in english on Youtube. But I don't find it at the moment. Thanks for the hints, I have read a few of his shorter books in english on a trip through Greece 20 years ago.

Yes,

Flood myths are planet wide, and they are all cornered about rain.
C/C++ is not a language
C/C++ is one.
No, it is two different languages. And it helps to be aware of that!
Some developers don't care, or are opposed to people caring.
Most programmers don't know
Stop being an asshole implying that programmers write bugs deliberately.
The only thing not easy to grasp is the lambda in the middle: "[](int item){ return item*3; }"
But as I write Java, Groovy and Scala: this is no problem for me. And yes, I stay in touch with C++ enough to know they have lambdas, too now.
And yes: I like to write that code, but probably I would have used a standard STL map function instead.

No, Python is written in Python and Java is written in Java.
Most languages are self hosting.
Java is written in Java, Scala is written in Scala ... etc. p.p.
Oh, you are mixing up virtual machines aka runtime environments with compilers? No worries: that is a common mistake.
LLVM is a virtual machine.
Rust and C++ are languages.
And no: there is no overlapping in the Venn-Diagram that moves stuff from C++ to Rust via LLVM, idiot.
If a simple "Hello World" is that big, it is obviously a linker problem.
To sad that you lack knowledge about stuff like this ...
(WTF: how can it be the language if your code is obviously only a few bytes???)
The compilers were total crap and incompatible between vendors,
That is irrelevant.

and takes down other systems around it.
On a modern operation system that is not possible.

On paper you can two algorithms that both appear to O(n) but in the real-world perform vastly different.
No, in RL they both still will be O(n).
Theory without application is idiotic.
Yeah, and citing theories without knowing how to apply them, is idiotic, too.
Ministers are not elected ... they are appointed by who ever was elected.

Which we have, it is called "The Flood". And we have written texts about it ...
However written texts are not such old ... perhaps you want to google "oldest written language" or something similar.
Amazon has the last one still on stock.

Yes,the catch is:
they want american funding and like to attract european and american PhD students to their facilities (*facepalm*)
