The refactoring tools in IntelliJ make it possible to catch a lot of things that would be very difficult to do with emacs of vim. For example, I know a certain utility method exists in several different classes, so I…
Do you think that 100 years from now, anyone other than programming language researchers will have heard of any programming language used today?
"I don't want to learn how to use an IDE" is the same argument as "I don't want to learn how to use vi". There are a lot of reasons to hate Java...I don't want to use a bloated IDE is a pretty weak one in an age of 8…
You realize that any modern language is nothing more than an abstraction layer to automatically generate code in a lower level language right? The only difference here is that if you view the .java file in a plain text…
Java 8 is still probably a minimum of a year or 2 off. After that, it will go through another year or two of testing before any big corporation will dare even bother touching it. After that, it might start being used…
The examples they give seem to be pretty much standard functionality of the Guava Collections2 class. With Guava quickly becoming one of those standard libraries that just gets automatically added to virtually every new…
No Java devs actually type any of that. Java IDE's are very good at generating this sort of code...for this very reason. No one would still be using Java if they actually had to remember full package names.
Where exactly are you moving your mouse that you need to take your eyes off the screen in order to find it? Anyway, point & click scenarios can be argued. Click and drag scenarios are where touchscreens fail…
Has it been hastened considerably? It has been 3 years now since the controversy began...or centuries in internet time.
I had just assumed that Google+ would essentially encompass everything in Google that requires a google account to use. Google search, google shopping, and similar services that don't require an account would remain…
Ripples looks like an absolutely incredible way to discover the reach of social media in general. I have a feeling "ripple graphs" are going to be in a ton of marketing geeks powerpoints from now on.
Decades ago shredders weren't nearly as good as they are now either. It isn't a static problem that will remain solved.
Generally any blog written a day after the spec released is going to be pretty superficial. It isn't like they have time to be able to construct any real criticisms. Personally, if not being able to say if(a) is the…
Only the more expensive models had 3G. I had thought that I would use the 3G service, but I think I used it once during the first week I bought it to try it out. It really is almost useless for an ebook reader unless…
Dressing differently is not necessarily dressing worse. Personally, when I see someone that obviously spent an extra 30-60 minutes getting ready in the morning to make themselves appear to be a professional, my first…
There's often cases of the data literally being measured in tera or peta bytes. Releasing the raw data isn't always feasible.
There were plenty of "it is a good decision" claims in Apple's case as well.
Check out Tweetdeck. It does pretty much exactly what you're looking for with FB and Twitter (and whatever other networks you use). G+ just hasn't opened up an API yet for anyone to tap into it.
Pretty much the same here. The primary issue at hand for me is the lack of 3rd party support. Twitter and facebook are boring to me by themselves, but when I can look at them both at the same time with tweetdeck I check…
I think your logic is somewhat off, as you are considering playstation 1,2,3 to be different, while iPhone 1,2,3,4 are in the same bucket. Also consoles are generally a one per household thing. Phones aren't.
I'm not sure what the title is supposed to mean. FTA "The solution is simple, of course: we just have to add a real software patent section to Title 35. " I guess he's trying to say the patent system isn't broken, but…
Whatever happened to home construction? In the old days I chopped down my own trees to form into straight boards for the frame, dig up my own rock to make a foundation, mine my own iron to be formed into nails, etc...…
There's lots of people out there that simply don't use cash anymore. Does this service have anything to offer people like me that mint doesn't already offer? I see the use if you make most of your purchases in…
Agreed. 100k is a tech-lead salary in St. Louis area...but houses can be bought for under 100k so I guess it balances out.
Out of 50 million profiles...how many are active? How many haven't logged in in the last 12 months? How many are bots? I was under the impression that Myspace is used about as much as Geocities these days.
