That's it exactly

Reading the language specification, I feel like I'm looking at a catalogue of screws and bolts. Each piece is described in excrutiating detail: load-bearing capacity, shear strength, thread count and pitch, driver required, accessories. But nothing saying why you'd pick the 6-inch lag bolt vs. drilling through and using a machine bolt, nut, washer and lock washer.

When does a java constructor execute? - (drewk) - (56) - Jan. 28, 2005, 03:47:08 PM EST

When you say 'new' - (tuberculosis) - (41) - Jan. 28, 2005, 05:08:09 PM EST

Word from the IGM on ziwt says ... I was wrong - (drewk) - (40) - Jan. 28, 2005, 05:14:22 PM EST

I think you've got it - (tuberculosis) - (11) - Jan. 28, 2005, 05:37:00 PM EST

Would be nice to say that in the docs - (drewk) - (10) - Jan. 28, 2005, 06:11:29 PM EST

That's missing for most languages - (tuberculosis) - (6) - Jan. 29, 2005, 02:20:36 AM EST

Like Drew, I'm trying to teach myself Java. - (pwhysall) - (5) - Jan. 29, 2005, 04:09:20 PM EST

"Effective Java" => oxymoron :-) -NT - (ChrisR) - (1) - Jan. 29, 2005, 05:30:47 PM EST

"Microsoft Works" -NT - (drewk) - Jan. 29, 2005, 05:36:57 PM EST

What would he know about it? - (tuberculosis) - (2) - Jan. 29, 2005, 08:10:59 PM EST

That's an oddly visceral response. - (pwhysall) - (1) - Jan. 29, 2005, 08:18:31 PM EST

Symptomatic of general J-headed attitude - (tuberculosis) - Jan. 30, 2005, 01:53:36 AM EST

That's it exactly - (drewk) - Jan. 29, 2005, 04:25:26 PM EST

I'd give up on Morphic - (tuberculosis) - Jan. 29, 2005, 08:16:16 PM EST

Now I'm getting frustrated (again) - (drewk) - (27) - Jan. 29, 2005, 05:03:28 PM EST

Badness - (jake123) - Jan. 29, 2005, 07:49:26 PM EST

Servlets and business logic - (warmachine) - (22) - Jan. 29, 2005, 07:12:42 PM EST

So is this example stupid? - (drewk) - (21) - Jan. 30, 2005, 11:48:02 PM EST

Hell, yeah! - (warmachine) - (1) - Jan. 31, 2005, 07:05:16 PM EST

Re: Hell, yeah! - (admin) - Jan. 31, 2005, 08:00:58 PM EST

Way stupid - (tuberculosis) - (18) - Jan. 31, 2005, 08:25:16 PM EST

Trying to learn The Right Way[tm] - (drewk) - (17) - Jan. 31, 2005, 11:14:41 PM EST

No such way - (tuberculosis) - (16) - Jan. 31, 2005, 11:45:54 PM EST

I need to write a small app like it's a big one - (drewk) - (15) - Feb. 1, 2005, 12:27:48 AM EST

Huh, most people are trying to figure out the opposite - (tuberculosis) - Feb. 1, 2005, 04:18:18 AM EST

This is classic - (ben_tilly) - (13) - Feb. 1, 2005, 02:07:20 PM EST

Um, ... - (mmoffitt) - (1) - Feb. 1, 2005, 03:51:29 PM EST

No. Exceptions exist. But generally, yes. -NT - (ben_tilly) - Feb. 1, 2005, 03:59:27 PM EST

Not exactly - (drewk) - (10) - Feb. 1, 2005, 05:29:27 PM EST

Good luck - (ben_tilly) - Feb. 1, 2005, 08:08:22 PM EST

Ah - so that's what you're trying to do - (tuberculosis) - (8) - Feb. 1, 2005, 08:20:00 PM EST

Time to hit the library - (drewk) - (3) - Feb. 1, 2005, 08:49:09 PM EST

That's an old interview. - (admin) - (2) - Feb. 1, 2005, 08:56:43 PM EST

Gold mine - (drewk) - (1) - Feb. 1, 2005, 10:47:02 PM EST

Moochos grassy arse -NT - (pwhysall) - Feb. 3, 2005, 10:19:28 AM EST

Several copies of Rod's book around here. - (admin) - (3) - Feb. 1, 2005, 08:57:37 PM EST

Q on book. - (mmoffitt) - (2) - Feb. 4, 2005, 12:24:21 PM EST

Rod's book isn't for administrators - (admin) - (1) - Feb. 4, 2005, 12:58:13 PM EST

Ok, thanks. -NT - (mmoffitt) - Feb. 4, 2005, 03:25:24 PM EST

That's not what they are saying - (tuberculosis) - (1) - Jan. 29, 2005, 08:22:52 PM EST

Servlets and page scoped variables. - (warmachine) - Jan. 30, 2005, 07:10:08 AM EST

Re: When does a java constructor execute? - (dshellman) - (13) - Feb. 1, 2005, 09:24:50 AM EST

There is a certain amount of value... - (admin) - (1) - Feb. 1, 2005, 09:29:09 AM EST

I already know that - (drewk) - Feb. 1, 2005, 05:32:59 PM EST

s/Tomcat/Jetty/ - (tuberculosis) - (10) - Feb. 1, 2005, 12:23:31 PM EST

Based on what? - (admin) - (9) - Feb. 1, 2005, 12:55:12 PM EST

Personal experience - (tuberculosis) - (8) - Feb. 1, 2005, 01:32:10 PM EST

A couple of years back, sure. - (admin) - (7) - Feb. 1, 2005, 04:49:46 PM EST

Oh Tomcat 5 - (tuberculosis) - (6) - Feb. 1, 2005, 04:57:38 PM EST

Reminds me of Spolsky's piece on Netscape - (FuManChu) - (5) - Feb. 1, 2005, 11:18:51 PM EST

And I remember disagreeing with it the first time - (ben_tilly) - (4) - Feb. 2, 2005, 01:45:57 AM EST

Makes sense to me. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Feb. 2, 2005, 07:55:37 AM EST

Know what you mean - (tuberculosis) - Feb. 2, 2005, 12:05:04 PM EST

It's a threshold thing - (ChrisR) - (1) - Feb. 2, 2005, 12:22:46 PM EST

And that point is completely true - (ben_tilly) - Feb. 2, 2005, 08:58:01 PM EST
