It's simple. Swift is a million times better. It's just that people are lazy.

Oh really? Good customer service? How about this:

I don't have a car.

Can your daughter go outside and play with her friends unsupervised? Does she have any friends?

Who cares?

For me this happens ONLY when my fingers are wet or oily. Otherwise it works 100% of the time.

So one time I bought tickets to a concert from Stubhub. Then the headliner cancelled their appearance due to unforeseen circumstances and what not. But the concert was not cancelled as there were extra acts who would still perform. The headliner's website informed ticket holders that they could get a full refund "at the place of purchase" if they wanted. I asked Stubhub about that, their reply was (I'm paraphrasing): "Get f..cked. No refund, no nothing.. We don't care."

You can configure IDEA to import only the things you absolutely need to import. So I don't know what you mean.

Stopped reading right here:

> The second error, “Type mismatch”, appeared 1771 times in the logs. That’s good news. It means the type system is working well: it catches type errors pretty often. Cool! I can finally honestly claim that I use Scala for a good practical reason.

That’s good news? Why? How? "Pretty often"? Comparing to what? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I don't know. 1771. Ok then.

Getting a job maintaining a horrible legacy application or doing soul crushing consulting gigs and GOOD money is easy. Getting a job with a really good tech-driven company and a GREAT pay is hard.

I feel exactly the same way. The good thing is you keep doing the interviews for some time at some point you run into normal people and then it's easy.

That's A Bingo. That's how false negatives are made.

omg, are you me. No ahas at interviews. Good to great ahas at random times. Fuck whiteboarding interviews.

Here is a hint. If you aren't a fresh graduate avoid companies making you code in a browser under a time pressure.

>>using eXtreme programming tools like pair programming or code reviews to avoid having people slip into a frenzy of their individual domain / help keep obvious bugs out.

Wtf does this even mean? What are you talking about. If the bugs are obvious why do you need extreme programming to find them? What frenzy? Extreme programming is garbage.

But it also tells you why to prefer x over y, every time it gives any recommendations. And it's always explained well. So I think reading this book will help you make conscious decisions while using other languages. It's just a very well written book.. Which is pretty rare..

Programming Pearls (2nd Edition) by Jon Bentley

Effective Java (2nd Edition) by Joshua Bloch. It's a Java book but it's language-agnostinc in a way. A great book.

Bullshit. The Soviet Union was "internationalist" on paper only. It was anti-semitic and racist in reality.

Not some amount, a very large amount of anti-Semitism and discrimination against other non ethnically Russian people too.
