I never mentioned integrity. Integrity is nonexistent in the previous admin, the current admin, the big tech, and the mainstream media. And they working together is much more scarier than they fighting each other. I wish you could have seen this after what happened to Parler and now the GME stock saga.
1. The admission committees can certainly influence your life, but don’t let them define your life. For the long run the college you attend could be just a small factor and I think it is getting smaller thanks to the internet and open source.
2. The PL area is small and to some extent limited. Your interests and passion could likely shift in the future. Just keep an open mind.
3. Embrace life. Make friends. Build stuff (think open source) and actively participate in the communities. They usually are very friendly to bright kids. You may find out it could be a lot easier to join the top universities or companies in the future when you personally know and work with the professors or experts. You may even find out you can define your life and those universities matter no more to you.
It is a 30 patients test and almost everybody’s fever was gone right after enrollment. Even the swab test results turned negative in 2-4 days. Why is medicine ever needed for such group of patients?
This headline is completely misleading. Those who "took over" the universities are the students who actually LIVE there. And those who "took over" the financial district are people who work there: they just protest downstairs during their lunch time.
You don't take over your home or office because you f*king own it.
It depends on what exactly the variables are referred to. FWIW, Windows DDK's example code has a consistent style as the kernel code (at least for windows 2000/xp). You won't have a thousand ways of naming variables once you get used to that style.
.NET's developer community is in no place comparable Golang's or Javascript's. Just take a look at GitHub's trending page by programming languages. Javascript is really bad for server side applications, and yet here we are with so many nodejs server apps. It doesn't matter much how good a tech is. What matters more is what the new generation is using, which you can get a sense from the trending page on GitHub.
Just take a look around to check out new enterprise MIS projects being implemented with a simple golang backend + reactjs etc frontend. The adoption of intereactive/responsive and single page web UI, and the more iterative development practices are certainly driving to a different direction compared to Spring (and RoR etc). I think the main force is from the frontend tech here and that is why you see them in the same sentence.
Java the language is slightly different than JVM but nevertheless the future is not very bright IMO. So far there are a few areas Java/JVM still holds a strong position but if you take a look at GitHub trending there is little or now new blood coming in.
- Android. No serious competitor to Java yet (JVM is irrelevant). But the Google lawsuit could have some complication.
- Spring stuff. I won't be surprised if they will be replaced by golang and nodejs (along with react/angular/vue etc). Same path for RoR.
- Data processing: Spark stuff, PrestoDB, Flink, Kafka, Hive, HBase, Lucene/Elastic etc. Java/JVM is still dominant but golang could be a future contender. A few new application databases/KV stores are implemented in golang.
The problem for Java is that the last category is mostly services (instead of libraries/frameworks) so you can potentially use any language to work with them, and the industry probably won't create many jobs for building generic services especially in the cloud era. So having the dominance doesn't provide a lot of protection.
Though the end result is more or less something similar you are over simplifying the situation. IMO usually there are two major reasons that makes foreign companies hard to compete with locals:
* Excessive regulations and sometimes special rules for foreign companies. But e-commerce is usually not the worst sector for this.
* "Expertise" on how to deal with local laws. It is no secret local laws are usually selectively applied. Local companies have a lot more flexibility than foreign companies and they can do a lot of things that could create prohibitive legal liabilities for foreign companies if they even want to follow. For example, low wages and unhealthy work environments, unlawful marketing tactics, bribery and corruption etc.
I would argue the latter is the usual competitive advantages local companies have.
I would certainly be surprised if after installing the new tires you are required to install a new system to compensate the brake or you car may crash. The MCAS system is a clear indicator that the airframe and the engine are not compatible and yet they decided to do so for profit.
I think a lot of the discussions are missing the point. The mcas system itself is indeed just a duct tape for a known design defect, ie using a new engine on an old body. It is like you replace a part in your car, find it over heating, and put an ice bag on it. The planned software “fix” is something like changing the volume of ice. I think it is a dead end and it is scary.
