    The original poster and you might have a point if this was developed by Google. However, it was not.

    Google execs have nothing to do with this as it was NOT a google project nor was it developed by google employees. it was developed by 2 guys that used to work for Google.

    "Java EE" is not the language, it's the platform/framework/API for web applications. It's more like Microsoft MFC or .net then C++ or C#

    So why the claim that the UK would be the only "western" country with petrol (gas or diesel) cars?

    The article you linked to doesn't say anything about the right to to repair anything! It is a discussion about how much of an idiot the guy in the video is to complain how unsafe his Tesla with bald tires is, even thought he thinks tires with steel belts sticking out "has tread" and is not bald.

    However, that guy attempting to repair anything would most likely end in death and destruction so perhaps he should not have the right to repair his car!

    When it becomes possible to buy an entry-level EV for $20k or less, why would you even want an ICE vehicle?

    To go father than about a hundred miles (round trip). I don't see any EVs making cross country trips in the USA anytime soon without having to stop for the day every couple hundred miles.

    For the same reason, there are unlikely to be any EV long haul trucks anytime soon.

  8. Micro optimizations were recognized as bad ideas in 1999 other than perhaps, for real time that ran often in limited environments such as micro-controllers and should of been coded in assembly or high performance applications such as games that were stretching the envelope of technology of the time.

  9. Re:On Tabs and Spaces on Developers Who Use Spaces Make More Money Than Those Who Use Tabs (stackoverflow.blog) · · Score: 1

    Wrong! The only sane choice are spaces! Tabs are a hugely bad idea! Only a true moron would advocate using tabs over spaces. A space is ALWAYS 1 character that uses 1 column. Tabs are sometimes 8 columns (which is the default value inherited form typewrites that toy see in notepad and other dumb editors), sometimes 4, sometimes 2, sometimes 3 depending on how each individual sets their editor (providing they use an editor that has settings. Anything using tabs that is worked on by more than 1 person, especially if vendors, outsourcing and.or offshoring happens, will repidly devole into a randomly indented mess that is impossible to determine where code blocks even are and are impossible to format correctly! As for concerns about bandwidth and space, that is complete rubbish! The 1970's want their 300 baud modem and floppy disks back!

    It isn't the "regulation and subsidies" that "grant the big players monopoly" and "keeps small players out of the market" for internet, cable and telephone -- it's the really high cost of entry to build the infrastructure. Actually, the "regulation and subsidies" help the "small players" by forcing the "big players" share the infrastructure. Remove the "regulation and subsidies" and the "small players" can no longer exist as they will no longer have access to the infrastructure they need to remain in business!

    No, it's more like Intel had decided to spend $7 billion on the fab for business reasons not involving Trump (most likely long before Trump became president, and possibly even before the election) so they decided that, hey -- we should announce it now while we are meeting with Trump so he will be more supportive of us and not use Twitter to tank our stocks!
