I'm in NYC, and pretty much anyone I know in my personal life uses it. At work, no one uses it.

I think the core team is opposed to it. IIRC it's because they don't want to surprise anyone with the type used for collection literals, but it might have been something else.

`List<T>` is technically immutable. You can make it mutable by casting to `MutableList<T>`, but that's something you have to explicitly do.

Jealousy and greed is driving the opposition to the tax plan.

If you look closely, you'll see that most complaints aren't about not getting a tax break, because 99.99999% of people will get one.

No, the chief complaint is "the rich are getting more."

Someone I know was in such a situation. He bought or leased (I don't remember) a nice car a week before he passed.

The payments got passed on to his children, who didn't want to deal with that in the wake of their dad's death.

True, but someone with an end stage terminal illness shouldn't buy a car.

This seems like a good indicator of a bubble. Everyone and their uncle knows a crash is coming, and these guys are shooting nonsense about regret and disappointment.

1b is a lot of money. Even for these guys.

Isn't there only 16m currently in circulation?

Edit: ah did you mean dollars?

So she wants people to work less and get paid more? To work on stupid things, that aren't critical? And someone is willing to pay a lot of money for you to do that?

Also, her idea that getting paid well means nothing because there are people who make more money left me scratching my head.

Idk. I'm a high income tax payer in a blue state. According to my calculations, I'll be paying less taxes next year.

In fact, according to my calculations, almost every one will be paying less, except a miniscule population that will have their taxes raised by a couple of hundred per year. And even that might get legislated away in the conference.

I scored pretty high (I don't remember the score though) on a cold LSAT, but after taking a course with an instructor who got multiple 180's, my official score was in the 99.9th percentile.

I got into a top 5 law school, but didn't get a scholarship even with my LSAT score, a 4.0 GPA, and multiple honors (including PBK).

Two weeks into the semester I transferred to the MSCS program. Best decision I ever made.

"and how Russia used it during the election to elect Trump"

Stopped reading right about there.

I believe the article mentions making the java.io package aware of fibers.

My understanding of all these projects is that you have to change your style of coding / have more complex APIs, or they're just syntactic sugar over heavyweight threads.

What loom seems to offer is the best of both worlds; going back to writing simpler code (e.g. regular "blocking" io code) while scaling much better.

Especially when you're part of the non-favored ethnic group that perpetrates and celebrates the routine murder of innocent men, women, and children. Murder that is some times committed using construction equipment.

Now if you were a cop, and just received a photo of what looks like a member of the non-favored ethnic group with a murder weapon, saying "kill them" I'd bet you wouldn't just shrug it off. You take action to save innocent lives. Ask questions later.

Sometimes I feel like those advocating for not having children are doing the world a favor by following their own advice.

I stopped reading when the author suggests that people are falling out of love with silicon valley because most companies hire mostly white males. What a terrible racist/sexist thing to say.

Other than the fact that the Jews were living there as legal citizens, not illegal immigrants.

Ignoring the fact that it's against the law, I'd say there's a problem of illegal immigrants taking jobs away from citizens, or at the very least lowering the wages that a citizen can expect for lower end jobs.

Then, when they have children, they get benefits that citizens pay for.

Now throw in the fact that if even one illegal immigrant commits one crime, that's one more crime committed than if there was no illegal immigrant.

To compare the situation to Jews in 1930s Germany is foolish at best.

Edit - I just noticed that you use the term "undocumented immigrant." They're illegal immigrants, and ignoring that doesn't change the fact.

My dad loves telling the story of how he had a contractor working on his house in NYC area, and heard a garbage can rattling. He opened the can to find a full grown possum.

The contractor lazily grabbed a 2x4, whacked the possum in the head, took it out by the tail and threw it to his son, yelling "we got one for supper."

Not that they're not deadly on a smaller scale.

I put in my website and got a bunch of technologies that I don't use. Is the algorithm broken, or is it marketing?

I feel like this was lifted from somewhere else...

I completely get the gist of what you're saying, but you've mentioned labor camps a few times.

Not sure if you mean for it to be a literal comparison, but I'd find it very difficult to argue that school or work is the equivalent to somewhere where you are forced into doing backbreaking work. That's besides for the physical abuse and risk of murder that often accompanies it.

What if, hypothetically (I wouldn't want to get fired), the most qualified split was 55% male - 45% female. Wouldn't aiming for 50-50 be discriminatory towards males?

Since we have no way of knowing what the actual qualified split is, aiming at anything is discriminatory towards everyone.

Are you saying that Trump was only elected because he was appealing to the alt-right? Surely that was part of it, but why is everyone so eager to "blame" it on the marginalized alt-right? Is it a scare tactic for 2020 /r

I guess there's no fifth...

I'm not sure if I understand. Are you saying that Ruby is more mature than Java and C#?

You'd lose that bet
