He is probably referring to how he took amphetamines, which aren't meth.

> In the long-term, VR will be big. In the short-term, augmented reality will be the way to go imo

augmented reality is a much harder problem to get right than vr (hmd vr that is)

Exiles who left the country. If you were to speak to elderly Cubans who fled they would tell you about how they all had their possessions taken from them.

The first thing this article reminded me of was ghost in the shell season 2. In the show the Intelligence Agency of the government used this sort of info manipulation to increase animosity towards refugees to the point where the public was in support of basically slaughtering them.

In the show this agency also analyzed public opinion using info obtained from discussion forums to gauge the public's acceptance of government policy and they would use the information manipulation with sock puppets to change public opinion in their favor.

hn is without a doubt a target for these kinds of people. I'm honestly surprised that this thread hasn't been flag killed considering how it shows how blatantly idf are gaming this system.

edit: nothing against Israel and Jews in general, just that there was some pretty clear evidence specific to the IDF in the article

java interfaces are one of the main reasons people like java (and as other people have said, it's reimplementation in other more modern languages shows how popular and useful they are). They promote code reuse and allow protected variation. Your professors bad explanations aren't a reason to dislike interfaces.

Also how have you not, in a java class, written code that uses polymorphism? That would be the easiest way to understand how useful interfaces are.

My argument was that the idea of having to work on a javascript project with >10,000 lines of code makes me want to vomit while the idea of working on a java project with >1,000,000 lines of code doesn't make me feel anything special.

People that complain about verbosity really don't have their priorities in line

You see, I barely need to "understand" Java to use it and get decent and performant code but I need to be a javascript expert to be able to do anything not horrible.

Please stop trying to act like the state of web and javascript is good because it's shit. Web development is basically a bunch of people suffering from stockholm syndrome.

I don't get what you mean by your comment. CS:GO is the best thing to happen to counter strike and the game and the players are doing better than ever.

I think this is good, I think people should be able to delete their online presence when they turn 18. The way the internet is now, it's too easy to screw up your own life.
