C is still the undisputed king of enterprise, and growing.
Java has about 3x the adoption of C#. Both are declining. C# peaked in 2012 and is plummeting.

Finally there, like C# and .Net, there is a big difference between Java and the JVM. You are right that for many things C# the language is better (though fuck the eco system) then Java. However the JVM is amazing.

Watch out for Scala. Its actually starting to woo C devs.

Is this behavior really different then what goes on in Texas public schools? Of course not. We get the same sort of anti-science stuff from traditional public schools down there. The fact that this is a charter school isn't the problem. This is just a feature of Texas.

Of course in places like NYC, we see charter schools dedicated to math and good science. Charter schools reflect a community's desire for education. Thats it.

Total bullshit. Javascript/Node is just fine for some projects.

Look, I code in and love Scala primarily these days due to my projects requirements. Static typing, functional, oo and compiled, its great for many "serious" applications. That said, for the 50% of web applications where time to market, and not maintainability or performance is most important, Node.js is better. I fail to see how "real" programmers could have any problem coding in Node. Its dead fucking simple.

Comment Re:Urban versus rural [Re:red v blue] (Score 1) 285

Funny, but fortunately not accurate.

Food production is now a big company thing, done by companies owned by those of us who live in NYC. A more accurate rephrasing of your statement is:

"If the people who actually have power and money suddenly didn't, and uneducated rednecks were in charge, things might be bad for people in NYC".

Also, you should be relieved to note that NJ, NY and New England have more then enough agriculture to feed ourselves. It really isn't a Urban vs. Rural argument either, as we love rural folk up here and vice versa. Its really about NYC & New England versus fly over country.

Comment Re:Officials say? (Score 1) 644

Young POOR people, who have far worse job opportunities then the boomers had, are paying for the boomers to retire.

After the boomers ran up the bill on multiple wars, raided social security, screwed up the economy, screwed up the environment, they are now asking us to further subsidize their retirement.

You know what? FUCK THEM. If I had my way, the current generation over 55 and younger then 85 would get nothing more then preventive care from the health insurance pools the rest of us are subsidizing. Anything more then that they can pay for out of pocket, or not get care. Ambulances should be equipped with credit card terminal and require pre-payment for that whole sleazy slefish generation.

Well, I am going to do everything I can (short of not working or fraud) to avoid paying into this system. I won't be a slave to another generation's mistakes and retirement. Im not actually against programs that fight poverty or encourage education. However until things are reigned in, and its clear I'm not going to be effectively enslaved for the benefit of others:
