I don't remember who told it but:

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

What's most remarkable about the article is that Frederik Pohl, Isaac Asimov, and others obviously had far greater understanding of the subject seventy years ago that the article writer has today.
But I suppose you've got to let all the know-nothing kiddies have their mindless-social-media-style say, eh?
Let's start a twitter hashtag on it.

On his continuing quest for productivity and performance in the Java language, Brian Goetz, Java language architect at Oracle, along with Alex Buckley, specification lead for the Java language and Java Virtual Machine at Oracle, proposed a set of hyphenated keywords to evolve a mature language in which adding new features can be a challenge with the current set of keywords as defined in the Java SE 12 Java Language Specification. Or is that an 'em-dash'?
"Examples of proposed hyphenated classic keywords would include: non-final, break-with, and value-class. Examples of proposed hyphenated contextual keywords would include: non-null, read-only, and eventually-true." I need to figure out how I can work 'eventually-true' into my next program. It's so aspirational.

Um, no, they're hyphens[^].
But what is the frugging point?
If I see a hyphen in a statement, I will automatically think that the value of one variable is being subtracted from the value of another, and will be looking for where the result is to be stored.
Talk about utterly useless and confusing "improvements"!

Especially since int res=var1-var2; is valid Java.

That has to be one of the more idiotic ideas I have read of in a very long time.

Oracle's not managing the language well, IMO.

Just over 15 years after the first reported incident of phishing, new research suggests tech companies could be doing more to protect users from the threat of scams. However, greater awareness of the issue is also needed among individuals and organizations. Because they haven't figured out how to remotely slap users' hands?

Well, the way to train users not to open malicious e-mails is by labelling 80% of them as SPAM.
Then, if they open one of the other 20%, because they trust that you are looking after them, it's their fault for getting infected, not yours.
You want to stop e-mail scams?
0. Set the default option for opening e-mails to plain text.
1. PUT UP A F***ING BIG NOTICE ON EVERY WALL, telling people to not open e-mails that they're not expecting.
There you go: 99% of the hacking problems solved, before they even begin.

Sadella said: OK, brethren, the new way of the future is coming upon us, so it is so. We must be stopping be making desktop and laptop windows interfacements to be more likened unto telephone of the mobile variety interfacements, but more like unto interfacements wherein and whereunder you are moving your head and the interfacement is respondering.
This will be ultimate perfection for the desktop and laptop interfacement, with very, very bigger icons!
Oh, joy.

Over the course of a month and a half, “Kova,” real name Rana Mahal, convinced at least 25 people to join a game studio that was not a registered company, and develop a video game to which he did not own the rights, in exchange for no pay. You can fool some of the people some of the time (at least for six weeks)
NSFW warning: as you might expect in an article about developers and these kind of events, naughty words are spoken.

Fake news, obviously.
