Call of the Wild: Largest Animal Sound Archive Goes Digital - Yahoo! News

Call of the Wild: Largest Animal Sound Archive Goes Digital - Yahoo! News: "The searchable Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology boasts nearly 150,000 digital audio recordings, covering about 9,000 noisy species, with a total run time of 7,513 hours. Though there's an emphasis on birds, the collection contains sounds from across the animal kingdom, from elephants to elephant seals.
Some of the highlights of the collection include recordings of the curl-crested manucode, a bird-of-paradise in New Guinea, whose otherworldly calls sound like UFOs landing in a sci-fi movie. There's also a clip of a song sparrow recorded in 1929 by Cornell Lab founder Arthur Allen, which is the earliest recording in the collection."

What if Java 8 dropped 'extends'? - JavaWorld

What if Java 8 dropped 'extends'? - JavaWorld: "What if we dropped class inheritance entirely?
This got me thinking about what I could live without. What could we take out of Java? As cracked as it may seem, I could live without the extends keyword.

What the frak, you ask? Well, inheritance isn't tagging -- it's enforcing a hierarchy. Pure hierarchies don't tend to exist in nature, business, or anywhere else but in the human mind. There have been languages with objects but no inheritance. OK, fine, extends Object is probably useful, but do I need to go any further?"Publish Post
