I can’t speak from the British Commonwealth perspective, but from a Swedish perspective my opinion is this regarding having a monarch:
Yeah, it might not reflect our modern values well, but since the (Swedish) monarch is mostly ceremonial and completely unpolitical, there’s actually quite little to hate about it. They’re just the mascot of the country. There’s far more pressing issues in our country than having that confused old guy as head of state.
At least he doesn’t possess nuclear launch codes.
Hopefully they won’t come up with some kind of a Rust/CLI, a version of Rust with GC support.
When people say “Korea”, they probably mean the south one (unless they’re a fan of Kim Jong Un).
Wait until AI start to summarize meetings into email
And boycotting Russia hasn’t really stopped their aggressions
The good thing about the var keyword is that it’s still statically typed. The IDE can figure out the type for you if you hover over it.
Sure, anyone can pick up a new language or two over a weekend. That doesn’t mean they are confident enough to contribute to large scale programs with it. That takes much longer to learn.
Anyone can quickly learn how to solve some code challenges in a new language.
It’s a completely different story to learn how to write long lived enterprise scale programs that can grow with multiple independent contributors. This takes a lifetime to learn. More people have more experience to do it with Java.
It’s by amount of pull requests, so the length of class names and other Java boilerplate doesn’t count.
You’re delusional if you believe people care about Nim. It has been around for 16 years and is still nothing in comparison to Java. Java won’t go anywhere and is here to stay.
Who cares? If it works, it works.
The biggest strength of Java is that many programmers has years or even decades of experience in it.
I left a company when management decided to discontinue a product right after we finally made its code more maintainable.
Had a look at the product that would replace it, and it was a bigger mess from what we started with.
If a team member can fuck up the history you probably should look into your merge policies.
GameStop could go completely out of business and they would still manage to find a way to continue the copium.
Don’t worry. The meme stock bros will come up with a new stupid narrative about how this was always part of the plan and how no one actually believed the NFT marketplace was the catalyst for moass. Just trust the plan and keep holding.
Portal 64 uses a proprietary library by Nintendo (namely libultra). This library cannot be freely used, and Nintendo can sue anyone for using it without their permission. Portal is Valve’s intellectual property, so there’s a risk that Valve can be dragged in into this if Nintendo takes legal action.
Valve doesn’t want to risk dealing with Nintendo’s lawyers, so to be on the safe side they ask for Portal 64 to be taken down instead. The risks might be slim, but Valve don’t want to take any chances with Nintendo.
It’s probably just some basic script triggering on stuff like “died”, “all lost” and “I have nothing”.
Avatar 2 is still one of the most successful films of all time. Barbie and Oppenheimer did well as well.
I think the main problem is that Hollywood doesn’t have that many big blockbuster franchises ongoing. There aren’t that many new movies that attract viewers. Superhero movies are finished. Star Wars is mostly TV now. Hollywood hasn’t managed to find any replacement for these franchises.
