Yes, you're completely right about that.

>But the test is user wants, not code functionality. I often advocate functional and integration tests over unit tests for this very reason. A good functional test is testing use cases, which is exactly what the customer wants! Unit tes

The obvious solution is to stop taking crap jobs. There are places which do things well, though, admittedly, they are in the minority.

I would argue that it (sort of) is because most people tend to stay at the socioeconomic level they were raised in. In other words, the mechanism for carrying this forward is not in the DNA but the culture.

I feel that I've misrepresented my stance - I think that everyone should do as they see fit. I don't want to impose my view on anyone, but I do want to present clear, rational arguments which make people question their assumptions. I'm most

>Mac OSX has Time Machine and APIs for in built autosave and versioning. It's not perfect but any sort of backup is good, as is making sure you do not lose your work. And the ability to restore accounts from Time Machine is pretty nice.

>Gave me lots of extra time to pursue other interests. Honestly, I don't get this argument. I set a Linux installation up once, configure it how I like it, which takes a day or two in total, then I'm set for a few years. The administrat

That's like saying that Android preaches the nix way because it runs a Linux kernel. This is obviously false since the interface presented to the user pushes a completely different way of working and thinking. Using any of the listed softwa

He already does. The only difference in the perceived quality is the learning curve. Learn the *nix way and you will be enlightened. Learn the Apple way and you will remain ignorant (but have lots of time for shopping, cos math is so boring

And, ofcourse, this is exactly what stops most people from reaching the truth on any matter. What you just described is being a politician, it's putting form over substance. The truth has little room for niceties for it often stings. This i

It's just my opinion, which I am entitled to. Also, show me what's wrong with the world ("your small bitter self") and I'll show you what's wrong with you ("piss of back to 4chan").

These ideas were always obvious in our culture. Slick, touch screen devices were in films long before the iPhone. I applaud him for the execution and marketing but that's it. There is nothing exciting about locking a platform down and havin

Why are you all paying so much attention to this man? He did nothing good with his life, just distracted a lot of people with shiny stuff while reaching into their pockets. He did so in a creative way, but this is hardly someone to be prais

Technically this is not a port. It's just an OpenGL application that can read and render the TF2 map format. A port would consist of modifying the original source (which I assume the author does not have access to, since it's a closed sourc

This boggles the mind. If they would just implement the renderer on top of OpenGL then they would get cross-platform hardware acceleration, even on mobile devices since a lot of them have OGL support these days. Considering that they still

The answer is obvious - use an ODBMS instead of an RDBMS. No more imedance mismatch. The issue is that there hasn't been as much development, particularly high quality OSS projects, of this type. For example, I can't even find one for PHP.

I've never had any problems with Jira (about 3 months' worth of experience) but Confluence is so broken when trying to paste content into an article.

It's not something that can be quantified, though. The problem is that meaning is an entirely subjective phenomenon, so when we talk about trying to save people who are more likely to live, we make the assumption that long life is the corre

Same thing for me. Caffeine only seems to boost capability in real terms when used sparingly (once a week or two). Otherwise, one becomes dependent on it and is simply medicating withdrawals which makes them feel like they're more focused w

I don't own a company. This is from the perspective of a programmer.

by Produce 15y ago
I disagree. There is no shortage of people who think that they can program but, from experience, there is a huge shortage of people who actually know what they're doing.

I disagree for two reasons - the first is that just because I'm following a company, it doesn't mean that I like it. The second is that it's common courtesy to ask for permission before using a person's face to sell something.

It's not likely that solar is tomorrow's oil for two reasons; 1) it won't provide orders of magnitude more energy as oil did when it was discovered and, 2) it is not a finite resource. Solar/wind/green whatever will merely allow us to preve

Based on this, it seems that patents in any field tend to retard innovation as opposed to promoting it. Perhaps it's not just the software patent system that needs to be re-evaluated (and possibly scrapped altogether). Can anyone name any c
