No I didn't justify, why are you straw manning?

Since 2017, they have had new management.

To be fair, the sexual discrimination and harassment is a problem all over Western culture, so it's weird to single out Uber that way.

The first link goes back to 2017, significant management changes happened since, and it was in India, and apparently he got fired.

Could you elaborate what you're referring to exactly?

The downvoting going on is telling about the ideology of some of the people on here honestly.

The evacuations we've seen in the past few years due to forest fires and storms are not edge cases.

> democratic freedom-loving liberal government

Name me one that exists. Let's not be naive.

One is kidding himself if he believes this is about "women's rights". The fact of the matter is that any excuse will be used to destabilize Iran. I'm not a fan of their regime, but if one for a second believes that certain 3 letter agencies (or 6 letter agencies starting with M) don't have boots on the ground there at this very moment, I've got a bridge to sell you.

You can carry gas tanks with you on long desert crossing trips, and refuel in minutes. How are you going to do that with an EV? Not to mention that the high heat (45+ C) might take a toll on the range of batteries.

What about when people forget to charge their cars overnight, and there's an emergency? Perhaps needing to evacuate due to a storm? It takes a few minutes to refuel and it can get you a long way.

Good points. Plus, there are many countries and districts where it is just not feasible. Wander into the deserts or jungles and tell me how to reliably operate and refuel EVs in those harsh environments. Toyota leads the way with offerings like the Land Cruiser, Prado, Hilux, etc.

What does their race have to do with the discussion?

Who in their right mind puts margin on pensions? Let's just keep building the house of cards higher and higher, that's a very good idea.

Where does the cycle end?

Inflation at work.

There are solutions like CheckerFramework or Nullaway or other compile time annotation processors.

Do you think they blacklisted you from twitter after that encounter? :P

Having worked on even medium sized projects in golang, I started to appreciate why Java requires that. The golang code base was a mess, struct declarations and their implementations littered all over the place, making it hard to follow what's going on. You then need and IDE, and hope that those structs do not accidentally implement some random interface because of structural typing.

They're not mutually exclusive. Scala and Haskell had them for a long time now, and Java got them relatively recently.

The good thing is that Java is incorporating the proven features of other languages. It has gotten records, pattern matching (better than Kotlin's), and in the latest release, virtual threads with structured concurrency, better than async/await, and also better than golang as it lacks structured concurrency.

It shouldn't be a Rust vs golang. golang is mostly a somewhat better python, and mostly for writing backend services.

You can compare its domain (to a certain degree) to Java or C#, in which case the latter two are superior due to the reasons mentioned previously (enums, pattern matching, etc.).

From what I know, the major C++ engines (Unity, Unreal) have GC in them. Using GC does not automatically mean that latency is out the window.

This is mainly tailored toward the Gregorian/Solar calendar. We don't have leap years in Hijri.

Yes. We socialize over tea and coffee.

Vices are becoming the default positions in secular societies unfortunately.

In my experience, you only need to start looking at GC parameters once you hit a certain scale. For the majority of services you'll be writing, especially in a small team, you don't have to worry about them. G1GC is really good, and if you need low latency, you have ZGC and Shenandoah.

We've seen the hoops that people had to jump through to get golang GC to work properly once they hit a certain scale.

> VS Code is just a text editor that has extensions for specific programming languages

Extensions that offer syntax highlighting, debugging, refactoring, code inspection, command line integration, dependency management, etc. How is that different from an IDE?

The Quran. It really puts things into perspective and helps organize your life. Many of today's mental illnesses for example are due to the lack of faith, did people stop to think why there has been an explosion of mental illnesses in the past few decades?

The poster was saying that Java is so complex that you need an IDE. People use VS Code to write Java today, does that mean that they're not using an IDE? As long as the same features are offered in VS Code and IntelliJ/Eclipse/NetBeans/etc., then the distinction is really nothing worth talking about.

Serious question, how many matriarchal societies have there been in history? There's a reason that practically all of them did not survive.

The JVM is really a marvel of engineering. I have yet to see another system that offers what it does in terms of performance, GC tunability, observability, monitoring, profiling, etc. .NET is the only thing that comes close, but it has a ways to go in terms of what the JVM is capable of.

Java the language is really coming along nicely. With records, pattern matching, string templates, virtual threads, value types (in the work), and more, it's shaping up to be a top notch development language.
