Erasure's not the end of the world, but it'd be nice to have access to the generic class without having to pass it in.

    Collection<Foo> values = ...
    Foo[] array = values.toArray(Foo[]::new);

Not the worst, but not the best either.

There are many situations where the code I implemented could have been far cleaner with reified generics.

He's picking holes in example code. Example code will often tell you how to do a thing, and not why to do that thing.

And he argues that it's not a straw man.

Which is still infinitely more than 30 years ago.

There's no need for robotic brick layers - it's requires significantly less dexterity to just 3D print a house, and it allows for shapes and contours that are simply impossible to construct from bricks.

No it's not; it's a moment of shared levity - a respite against the uniform tedium of repeated daily drudge.

It's a hint of humanity in the belly of the beast that eats our daily lives.

She'd dress up for christmas and halloween, nothing that bad.

Other than that she sat in the corner (nearish the pool table) being inoffensive.

The second edge: there is the risk that healthy aspects of a prevailing culture will be eroded for the sake of an overly vocal regressive minority.

Culture fit doesn't have to stretch that far - it does not need to be pervasive and it does not need to be toxic.

We had a guy from Gaza in our office - he complained about informal emails sent to invite people for drinks because it was sinful, he complained about a manikin that got dressed up at special occasions because it was immodest.

I don't know what lines to draw here - but be careful when playing with double-edged swords.
