I'm glad Oracle is keeping the async pollution out of Java. Java is more of a business or admin domain language, and less for systems software. You don't really need that for biz/admin coding, and there are ways to still implement for the rare cases.

I guess I'm not working on "typical CRUD apps" then?

Based on your description, no, you are not, other than maybe "data stores". Sounds like systems programming. And it's rare to need such for app-level database access (unless you did something wrong or bad).

other than async and await keywords here and there.

It tends to force the need to parts that have nothing to do with asynchronous programming other than being referenced by parts that do. It pollutes and spreads like prions in a brain.

Elon likes his rocket toys, and thus needs money.

Doesn't Elon's pay depend on Tesla revenue? If for example BYD kicks Tesla's ass, Elon gets lackluster pay.

Java's Mono library is a poor substitute for C#'s async/await keywords

The Async/await stuff is just syntactical bloat for most typical CRUD apps. I suspect it's there to help MS save on cloud costs, rarely helps devs.

Medical authorities like to talk about agricultural use and people taking them for colds, because that keeps people looking away from the actual main source of multi-drug-resistant bacteria: hospitals.

Copper is actually about to become MORE expensive than fiber for a second time - pay attention to the metals market. Copper had a bad dip but it's recovering and will soon once again climb back up into double digits per pound price, at which point fiber is the penny pinching alternative.

I don't want to stop buying plastics. I want to have the option to buy actually recycled plastics that actually get recycled. We can do this but we don't. We don't because the people with all the money who therefore control the means of production decide that we don't. "We" is a stretchy word. So is "you" and so's "can". Sure, you can choose to opt out of society, but it would make more sense to make society not shit all over everything.

I guess that makes sense, but the wheeled vehicle isn't suited for that at all. In that case they'd have been better off just making a drone-in-a-box with convenient mounting points on the box.

Economists don't say this, what they say is a small amount of predictable inflation is better than deflation.

They do say it, and the reason they say it is that "wages are sticky" -- that is, they tend not to drop even when the market-clearing wage drops. Since it's very hard to reduce wages in nominal terms, inflation helps allow labor prices to drop in real terms.

NHTSA and NASA didn't study all of the code in the PCM. Their analysis is therefore invalid. Barr Group found a significant number of paths to unintended acceleration, zero of which depended on cosmic rays and also that Toyota not only didn't follow industry best practices, they didn't follow their own internal procedures. And you think China, which hasn't ever made the best software for anything, is immune to the same kinds of errors. You literally stated that there was no other way that it could happen, which is an obvious falsehood. It's unclear why you're engaging in this level of gaslighting.

first post modded redundant

suck this dick like trump sucked bubba, cuck

Politicians with crazy blond hair are FUBAR machines.

Banks are financial infrastructure. If they break, they take lots of businesses and customers with them. I'm okay with lone failures, but banks have lots of hooks.Please don't gamble with infrastructure!

Yet the world's average inflation goes around 5%

Economists don't run govt's, moronic politicians do, and moronic voters vote them in place.
