I'd say it depends on the portion of your code that uses anonymous inner classes with only one method. If you use them sparingly, you don't really need the syntactic sugar of an "anonymous method" / closure. If you use many of them, you might soon have a memory / performance problem, and a anonymous method may help with that if it's implemented differently. Or not.
Ergo, could you beat a computer at Paper-Rock-Scissors? No, no I fucking couldn't, that's a stupid question. Next you'll be fucking asking me "Could you beat a computer at calculating and verifying primes?".
Beating "a computer" could be difficult. But beating a computer that plays based on statistics how human opponents play... Totally possible, if you can estimate on what level most people in that statistic play.
Not to be picky, but he was talking about the majority of _all_ major sites, not the top ten. Still probably not true, but it should be a significant percentage.
Also, while not primarily powered by it, Google and Facebook (and probably others on the list, don't know) use Java in some of their backend systems. According to a quick internet search.
I'd say it is more a case of earth having 4 corners in some kind of a simultaneous 4-day... In only 24 hours of rotation, there are 4 corner days, cubes for a quad earth. No 1 Day God.
Tortoise is usable by about anyone in our company (at least the lowly windows using creatures). What I have heard and seen about gitk and git-gui, they are a bit "complicated";)
If it can happen with relatively minor changes, it should have happened by now. If it is going to require major changes, somebody is essentially going to have to fork it and redo the core SCM storage from the ground up.
Yeah, I read that. And I get it. Subversion is a rock of a software. Yet still, I remember reading about rename tracking _years_ ago identified as a critical feature by the subversion developers themselves! And now it is on the roadmap for Q1 2012! At that pace, I don't know if maybe moving to another SCM may be the better option.
While I have much respect for the Apache Foundation and do not know this WANdisco guys, anyone has to admit that subversion is lagging behind in core functionality. I don't mean distributed repositories, but the one feature pack that the other systems seemingly have right: branching and merging with real rename tracking. We try to avoid branches in our projects right now because it is so unwieldy. Merge tracking changed a few things but is not really sufficient if you refactor your package structure. This is a really important feature that is on the roadmap since, I don't know, five years? On the other hand, git and mercurial just don't have the tooling (GUI) that subversion has with TortoiseSVN, SmartSVN, the Eclipse SVN Handler... There might be equivalents, but they are not as good.
Of course, it easy to criticise an Open Source project when you are not contributing anything. But I would very much appreciate any effort that goes into speeding up the implementation of this stuff.
I'm sorry to come in on this discussion so late... AFAIK:
The "Christkind(l)" is literally the infant jesus christ. In the history of christmas, it was invented mainly by martin luther, who wanted to have a symbol figure for christmas that was not the catholic saint nikolaus/santa claus. The bishop had been the traditional figure for christmas even in those times. Nowadays, it is mixed up very much. Most of my family is catholic, and we were told that presents come from the "cristkind". Also, Nikolaus comes on 6. of December to bring choclate and maybe some small presents. In my wife's familiy, Nikolaus brings the big gifts for the children on 6th and on christmas itself, only the adults get thier stuff. Just to show that traditions can be a really wierd and mixed up thing.
Interestingly, the roots of christmas go back far longer than the (historical or mythical) birth of jesus. The 25th of December was the date of winter solstice in the old julian calendar. Winter solstice was celebrated in pagan cultures with much of the same symbols that we now associate with a "christian" picture of christmas, e.g mistletoes.

What do you mean, "skip release"? Twilight Princess was released on GC (and Wii).
with power equivalent to the current generation
How much current is generated?
Err, yes. That was the joke.
I'm not sure why you felt compelled to spell it out.
He didn't get the joke.

If standard C/C++ is "just as portable" and the JVM is written in C/C++, why would Oracle need months to port the JVM to another platform?
Why can't a 24bit / 96kHz (slightly) lossy AAC sound better than a 16bit / 44.1kHz Audio CD?

I was going to say the same thing...

Not only is it real, it is rational!
Too much information!
I did not intend to troll, but seems that people fell for it anyway...
If you're so good at it, at least translate the line for us!
smartass...
we steal it back for you
Informative gives karma, although I don't need it and appreciate "Funny" more.

I will look into git-gui and other stuff again...

I'm afraid you are right...

Hey, I was going for "Funny", not "Insightful"...
(Yeah, I get it.)
That's because Java is so much more verbose ;)
If the software you write has a fatal error once every 10,000 procedures you're a real fuck up. I'm not impressed by that percentage.
_potentially_ fatal.
