Lol Java remains the #1 or #2 language, the only real threat to it is python, which is successful for the same reason java was - because it's easier. Looks like what's happening now is that having been unable to beat java, they're hoping to destroy it from within with useless language "features" hoping that will let bored people with nothing to do use some new languages. But most likely they won't, it will just leave everyone miserable.

I remember these same teenage sex hysteria stories from my grandparents to, it was just "that damn elvis shakin' his hips on tv makin' those teenagers have sex!" It's just rehashed teenage sex hysteria.

That's one of those odd arguing tactics where you pick something that is incredibly heavily blamed/regulated and claim it isn't. Laws literally ban overly large, difficult, or heavy 18 wheelers. If there is a crash both driver and the company who hired the truck and driver are quite often blamed. Mirrors, equipment, maintenance, safety checks, etc on the vehicle are all part of federal and state laws and highly regulated. A flamethrower is simply a more dangerous way to cook a chicken sandwhich than a stove is.

If you all day battery life with a fairly speedy phone, it's the Moto z3. It comes with a battery mod that snaps onto the back that brings battery capacity from the average 3,000mah to 5,000 mah, while still being thin enough to hold easily, use 1 handed, and slip in and out of your pocket easily. (Assuming your hands are big enough for other large phones as well).

Yeah, many devs with cs degrees can write very readable code, but if you have code that looks extremely fancy but is nigh unreadable it's always from a c.s. major. Unstructered hodepog is self taught, so structured it's incomprehensible is a c.s major.

I go to the effort of switching from youtube in the browser (which almost always defaults to 480) to opening the same video in the youtube app (which usually defaults to 720) becaise I'm watching a video and realize I can't quite see what's going on. And I only have the smaller 5" pixel phone.

I can definitely tell the difference between 480p and 720p on my phone and it's the smaller screened google pixel, not even one of the large screen phones. I'd say about half the videos I'm watching in the browser, it's to grainy, I go through the effory of switching to the youtube app so I can get 720p. My phone would be a lot less useful if capped at 480.

Stopping quickly more than once in a day is not something anyone would normally do??
That attitude is exactly what's so troubling. The excuse-pandering for something that could actually kill you.
I'm not saying that one has to be hysterical about tesla or anyone else either, but the flippant "oh I don't like it so it wouldn't happen in real life" response is a frightening response to - again - an issue that could kill you. You're not just losing some stats in a game or having some hassle with javing to restore your computer from backups if the steering wheel impales you through the chest because you alrrady braked quickly when a dog ran in front of your car today and now your brakes don't work as well.
No car manifacturer can be perfect, but a dismissive attitude towards real problems - that's a problem.

"Feminists are pro-sex, it's just a gigantic coincidence that everything they say is 100% negative about straight people having sex. Feminists need to be taken seriously, and also, it's totally unfair to blame them for the things they say."

Let's be realistic - most likely the so called "stalking" is someone reading someone's profile info who they're to timid to even talk to in person.

Fizzbuzz is nothing but a collection of cheap tricks from people who are good at tricks and being loud and bad at coding.

The only thing fuzzbuzz tests is "have you done fizzbuzz before"? It's a short question filled with every petty trick the author could think ti throw in there. If you haven't seen the tricks they trip you up for no reason related to your actual codung skills. Once you have seen them they're trivial and again unrelated to real work. Fizzbuzz is best passed by someone aiming to game the interview system. It passes people gaming it and trips up people who spent their tume doing on the job real work.

Yeah, I went out of my way and was willingvto spend a lot more money on a taller display in a pc laptop - you cannot even buy it. Everyone wants to do 16:9 and that's it, even on expensive woekstation machines. Would love 3:2.

Hey look, you tried to throw out more marketing buzzwords and change the topic.

Clearly you're one of the people I'm talking about - it sounds like you're an agile consultant right? Sounds like you give orders to a bunch of remote people you never see in person?

Like I said, the "agile is magic" lines are always pushed by people who are not actually writing code under agile. Agile consultants. Managers. People who use it to get away from daily coding and out of morning standups. But for the people actually coding, agile sucks.

You know what other system had an "owner" (product owner), and a "master" (scrum master) who was an uneducated person with little power to change the schedule but all the responsibilty for the people under them meeting timelines? The slave plantation system in the us south. Slave overseers are curiously in much the same position as scrum masters.

I've also never met anyone who's actually doing day-to-day coding that likes agile. The only people I meet who like it are people who used agile to get *out* of coding. Managers, "architects" who uses agile to move away from day to day coding, "product owners" who again used agile to get out of coding under the agile system, and agile consultants. "Praise agile and we will reward you by removing you from the hell of working under agile!", basically.
