True | [deleted] | null | > One thing to remember, that is mentioned in the article, is that most of the programmers out there are working on CRUD style apps or similar. For these kinds of programs, Scala is not dramatically better enough to justify the cognitive load it introduces.
I do think this is actually the key point. I had kind of thought that once the dot-com bubble burst, this style of "if you built it, they will come" web programming would abate and web apps would have to do actual computation to add value. I still think this is true—the real winners in the space do a _lot_ of computation—but in general it seems to be taking longer for the industry to shift than I would have predicted. | null | 0 | 1316014693 | False | 0 | c2jtow3 | t3_kf2xi | null | t1_c2jtow3 | t1_c2jsxvu | null | 1427599248 | 7 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | lennort | null | They do, and it's how I have mine setup. [linky](http://www.jan-olof-lindqvist.se/windows-7-and-vista-mouse-focus-on-window-without-raising-the-window/). The 'full x-mouse' thing didn't work, but I did get focus-follows-mouse.
There are some quirks, but for the most part it's ok. It's not mentioned there, but you'll want to add a delay. Add a new key (the old one is a typo!) called ActiveWndTrkTimeout and make it around 150. This is the focus delay and helps when moving from the taskbar to other windows.
Most apps work well, but I've noticed VisualStudio is an asshole and jumps to the foreground when it gets focus. The only other issue I run into is dragging windows sometimes end up behind others. This might be partially because of my multiple monitors. | null | 0 | 1316014845 | True | 0 | c2jtpm3 | t3_kewkd | null | t1_c2jtpm3 | t1_c2jt0jg | null | 1427599256 | 5 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

If you do that you are still burning a thread when you may not need to. They want you to make calls using I/O Completion Ports whenever possible.
Microsoft is very, very serious about performance and responsiveness. Any WinRT call that takes longer than 50 milliseconds must be performed in an asynchronous manner. Basically they are creating a “pit of success” where doing the wrong thing is harder than doing the right thing.

Considering I just spent the last 3 months of my life fixing a Java system for a major European corporation, which is integral to their business, i'd say: pretty fucking badly.
That being said, most 'bad' Java programs, aside from simply shitty coding, tend to be bad because there is a bad process at work. Most Java developers I know have their heads screwed on well enough to at least not *obviously* suck. It seems that bad decisions get made higher up in the team and this causes bad things to happen further down.

True | SuperGrade | null | > The worst part is that Java itself is evolving in that same direction; with the addition of features-with-a-learning-curve like generics, closures, etc. Java's greatest strength was that it was designed for the lowest-common-denominator programmer.
I'm going to dispute this a bit. I don't think closures have any more of a learning curve, it's just that they're more foreign for us older started-with-assembly-for-performance crowd.
I can teach (and have) a 10 year old child how to program with closures faster than I can teach a Java/C#1 programmer how to program with closures. How? I teach closures before classes and assembly. The Java/C#1 programmer will whinge that they already have a full toolkit with which they can "program anything" and will tune out.
In the SICP lectures they teach "closures" early and quickly. Lecturer says something like: "By now you're probably confused about the distinction between procedures and data. That's good."

True | poopskins | null | You brought up some great points, and you've mostly swayed from being abhorrent of tablets despite having and developing for one at the office. I've mostly seen them as coffee table decoration until now, and while the iPad still doesn't appeal to me, I certainly can see the potential in Android and Windows 8 tablets.
My principal problems with it as a replacement to a "proper computer", however, are:
* Poor input, and pairing a keyboard with it defeats the benefit of portability;
* Hardly portable as you will need to take it in a bag, and in that sense you might as well have a netbook;
* Can't share files over a network;
* Lack of I/O means you can't attach external peripherals such as keyboards, mice or USB pendrives
Furthermore, on the iPad only, you can't (easily) exchange files or data between apps. Android has a fairly rudimentary solution for this, but nothing matches the ease of drag & drop on Windows, OS X or Ubuntu. | null | 0 | 1316016258 | False | 0 | c2jtwot | t3_kf1ue | null | t1_c2jtwot | t1_c2jra3h | null | 1427599348 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

As I explained when addressing a similar reply, I was referring to a very, very large codebase under one big CVCS repository like some that I've worked on in the past. Dozens of checkins per day, and if you do mandatory code reviews before checkin it means branching dozens of times per day. I think where this has happened before though, the source tree was really poorly structured and (as illustrated elsewhere) wouldn't be a problem if it was done right.
