That's fair. Java sucks. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have applications
Comment on: Learning to program is getting harder
Exactly. That's why I think beginners are better off jumping right in to learning Java and skipping Python
Comment on: Learning to program is getting harder
To a point, I think Python is the new basic. Even though I am not a huge fan of Java, I think it is better to start learning.
A. It has direct application in one of the fastest growing sectors: app development
B. It's syntax is similar enough to many, many languages which are also descendants of C meaning you can pick up C, C++, C# and many other languages without too much difficulty. The transition from Python to C-like languages is NOT that smooth.

Stupid article. Even if you don't plan to get a programming job, it is still worth knowing some code. For example if you want to be automate some batch job or you need a quick n dirty custom program for whatever reason. Besides learning to code will actually improve your logical thinking skills. IOW there are plenty of reason to know how to code besides seeking a programming job. You don't need to go to any "bootcamp" either .. it is very possible to learn yourself

With the trade off of it being much harder to read and debug and unportable.

Comment on: Linus Torvalds is tired indeed of "trivially obvious improvements" that are actually buggy
Gnome is not a good example. It sucks pretty hard and it has for a while.
Another thing: many open source developers are NOT working for free. The developers on large projects are often supported by corporations. And smaller projects usually receive donations.
Comment on: Linus Torvalds is tired indeed of "trivially obvious improvements" that are actually buggy
There are plenty of long standing bugs in Windows. They have existed since Windows XP or 2000 and still affect 7 (and probably 8)
Yet, Microsoft certainly makes fancy UI changes while not fixing bugs

Comment on: We Will Not Act on Complaints About Racist Harassment Why Githubs Amy Palamountain is a Liability
I kind of hope they do get sued. Just to show what happens when you listen to the idiocy of brain dead SJWs
Comment on: GitHub's new far-left code of conduct explicitly says "we will not act on reverse racism' or 'reverse sexism'"
They can't. That's why they have few to no actual code contributions to the project. They usually just get in the way and slower things down.
Comment on: GitHub's new far-left code of conduct explicitly says "we will not act on reverse racism' or 'reverse sexism'"
Nope.
Sourceforge is marginal at best. I keep hearing about malware injection in the installers although I have not actually encountered it in a long time. Still, there site is turning trashier and trashier. Not my first choice.
Bitbucket is better but they are also bowing to SJW bullshit
Googlecode is shut down

That policy sounds like discrimination to me.
That's exactly what it is
Comment on: GitHub's new far-left code of conduct explicitly says "we will not act on reverse racism' or 'reverse sexism'"
It shouldn't need to be this way. Why can't people just treat eachother fairly through our differences? Racism and sexism are bad but it's no better if it's against white males.
Comment on: GitHub's new far-left code of conduct explicitly says "we will not act on reverse racism' or 'reverse sexism'"
Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding:
‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’
Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you”
Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts
Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions
This looks like they are basically admitting to being SJWs and don't ask them to explain their logic because they ain't got any.
Comment on: GitHub's new far-left code of conduct explicitly says "we will not act on reverse racism' or 'reverse sexism'"
SJWs once again prove that they have zero sense. Of course all these dumb ass rules are actually oppressing people. Their hypocrisy is laughable
Comment on: GitHub's new far-left code of conduct explicitly says "we will not act on reverse racism' or 'reverse sexism'"
So, to GitHub, the words "hug", "touch", and anything to do with contact, are banned without consent.
What the fuck?
Because obviously touching somebody = rape and talking about hugging is inciting rape.
