I tried an NVidia card once...it was kinda crashy, which put me off...one day, I will try them again.
My current graphics issue is the Intel HD graphics on my new Gigabyte motherboard is periodically crashing...thought I would try to suffer with the onboard graphics this time but it's looking like it's time for a new graphics card too

A flaw in the Apache Commons Collections component puts Java application servers at risk of compromise. Well, that's a first: a Java vulnerability
|
|
|
|
|
To be fair, that's actually a fault in an Apache library, not Java itself.
(Makes a change - but I believe most Java vulnerabilities relate to the browser plugin, not the server-side - where it remains inexplicably popular).

This isn’t going to be a rant about functional programming, which is awesome. This is a warning about some practices that you are very likely going to apply to your code, which are terribly wrong! You had me at "Beware of Java"

While learning FP, I thought I should read a blog post, which used Java to help me bridge the OOP and FP.
In this article I will explain the most widely used ideas from functional languages using examples written in Java (yes, you could write functional programs in Java if you felt particularly masochistic). Time to say goodbye to a good guide I think.

This sounds similar to: "Beware of driving your car on water!"
Seriously: Would you think C is a good choice when trying to build a Django based website? Would it be a good idea to learn (actual details, not just using of some library) about raw USB signals processing using Ruby?
Java has its uses ... it's just not what you should look at when you actually wanted to do FP. Yes J8 had introduced the lambda (and some minor FP stuff), and yes more is expected later. But that's like stating: "Because my car has a GPS built in, it should already be a self driving car".

Well, what are you waiting for? Get on it!

I already have it, don't I? Only it don't drive so well ... I mean I turn on the engine, start up the GPS, put it in drive and watch it go ... but it still seems to drive into walls! Damn! What's wrong?
IMO, that's the same as this idea of J8's lambda's ... i.e. just because there's some features necessary for FP now built into Java, this article seems to expect Java to be "good at FP". And then finding it's not ...

Strategy Analytics ranks the mobile developer environments from Apple, Google, and Microsoft, with Visual Studio getting slightly outpointed by Xcode. There are other IDEs?

Funny because Xcode was hard as hell for me to learn how to use.
And holy crap, a copy of that report costs $3000

Yes, but report focuses on mobile dev specifically and I assume for them this means developing for iOS and Android. I assume Xcode is deemed best with respect to those tasks.
In general, though, I agree. Coming from VS, Xcode sucks.
