As someone who has had to deal with Assembly in the 80s for development projects, Java sounds and works great!

I guess it depends on your experience, attitude and point of view.

Ultramax | 9 years ago | on: Switch Is Nintendo's 'Fastest Selling' System in History

It seems like a combo: Zelda BotW is part of it, but the hardware is also fun. The build quality and kit is fantastic, it reminds me of an iPad designed by a gamer for gaming.

In my case it's also nostalgia. I've been working on my own apps and games, not to mention a day job, so this is the first console I have owned since the N64. Never got into console titles that seemed to be just as good on the PC.

That's 3 reasons right there... I ended up buying the Special Edition ($100 gets you the game, a music CD, a hard traveling case and a collector's coin) in March before I found a Switch in April.

I prefer the Pro Controller and using it as a standard console, but the mobility is great if needed. Sticker shock hasn't been a factor, since I remember buying 3 extra controllers for the N64.

The hunt for the Switch is as much as the hunt for the Classic was. Of course, now the Classic is going for 4-5 times as much... more than the Switch!

(Note: skip the Classic and skip RetroPie. You need a mac or PC anyway to load up the SD card... better to spend $60 on a nice XBone controller and play games in a better emulator on your computer. Just my 2 cents.)

As someone who deals with chronic joint pain, getting opiod pain relief right now is a fiasco.

It is funny: prescribe pain relief, then act like I'm an addict? Give me a break. Who is selling the opiod epidemic story ad nauseum?

Ultramax | 9 years ago | on: New York City bans employers from asking potential workers about past salary

Seems like an ethics test. Will you tell the truth about your previous low salary or lie to make sure you don't get lowballed?

Then for the employer, will you decrease the salary to match previous low rates or wages? Or will you pay him/her the market rate regardless?

Personally, I have always been asked how much I made at previous places. I prefer to give a range than specify individually.

Exactly. But the issue here is that you are dealing with two different mindsets. On one hand, you have the paragraph above that 'stands alone'.

But that has no bearing on the truth. It's omitting key facts to be true, and creating a social situation like 'reacting to a non-existent threat'.

So to me and you, ridiculous paragraphs like those above are In Error, because they are Unfinished and Missing Info. But to others, they point to the paragraph above as some kind of 'sole entity' that exists on it's own.

No one cares about a paragraph that omits critical facts to portray the reality of the situation. But apparently, on the Internet, some do.

Chuck that incomplete paragraph in the trash and try again, that's my response to their nonsensical verbal antics.

Keep in mind this is not just hardware but software related.

Right now I have IT graphics tools to optimize 3D models for mobile devices (for example).

For us developers, it means optimizing to a different standard, while worrying about backward 'optimization compatibility'.

Plus we'll need new software tools for development on the new GPU.
