That really does stand out. There simply has to be something wrong with their JS numbers.
That puzzle is optional, and definitely the 'hard' way to get past that challenge
Do you guys still work with a predominantly Perl stack?
He's impressed at the caliber of Oracle's sales team since they can actually sell Oracle products. Frankly, I agree and would like to know what kind of jedi mind tricks those guys use on their customers.
Sarcasm? On my HN?
It's meant to be. No different from an "app" showcasing whether you should or should not have bought apple stock in 2004.
I'm an Oz fanboy and this is as close to objectively wrong as any subjective value judgment can get. Even the best of Oz is barely as good as the worst of the Wire - and Oz just got progressively worse as the seasons…
Which flamewar are you referring to?

This is an interesting blend of rigid paranoia and moralistic finger wagging.
If he were truly sorry he would retreat to a mountain lair to live out the rest of his days as a monastic hermit. Clearly the fact that he still has a keyboard to type on proves his insincerity. /s
100%. I suspect the original statement is actually laden with a fair amount of bias : Palantir unequivocally does have an ML strategy given that they're selling data analysis in 2017. It's literally unthinkable that…
Yeah, frankly I agree. There are reasons to criticize Palantir, but including Java in their stack isn't one of them.

It's far more widespread in both those industries. It gets reported on every now and then, but literally no-one is surprised so those stories never get traction. It's expected, plain and simple.
Fair point, which I suspect will eventually lead to all major tech companies radically scaling back their investment in Europe. The cost of doing business was already high, now it's prohibitive and tyrannical.
My point is simply that none of that should come as a surprise. There is an element of community here, but this forum first and foremost serves a business function - and is moderated accordingly.
