   I remember Google being more popular with tech savvy users than Yahoo or Alta-Vista. IMO this is the writing on the wall.

   How about COO - Close Object Obligation? And you could sound like a pigeon saying "coo" during talks explaining it.

   I recently learned: > It has been claimed that Euler's identity appears in his monumental work of mathematical analysis published in 1748, Introductio in analysin infinitorum. However, it is questionable whether this particular conc

   Intel and AMD should provide GCC maintainers hardware. It could easily come out of the marketing budget, because benchmarks compiled using gcc would be affected, and they use benchmark numbers in advertising.

   One of Elm’s main focuses is code that is not possible to crash. Once I groked that, native modules going away in favor of ports made much more sense.

   We have had our entire kube go down because the image size was huge and the master node only had 20gb disk and docker wasn’t cleaning up old named images. Smaller just extends the problem to the future, but it gives us time to re-build our

   It seems like using Google Sheets or the online Excel is the answer. Single source of truth, collaboration, and keep the same fundemental tools.

    Here's a list of Java CVEs: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-93/p... To be clear, I am not a security researcher, and I haven't verified the severity of these issues. But in 2016

    This sounds like a witch hunt. Java has horrible security bugs even today. Bugs can be found in code written in all languages.

    The manga guide to Calculus is a great book. It helps me reason on a topic that is hard for me to grasp. Someone must think SQL is a difficult topic too. TACOP is extremely dense and put me to sleep every time I tried to read it. I recen

    I was thinking about how fast it would be to find matches, so I wrote a little C program that runs in about 1/7th a second: https://gist.github.com/robert-wallis/b7faf94976b153923fde It generates a random number,

    One of the great things about open-source, is when you discover a weakness in some tool you like, you can modify that tool and submit a patch. Or you can learn from the source of one tool and add another tool to the marketplace. When the

    I'm suppose I'm in the minority of developers that _don't_ think we need to learn more build tools. make, configure, automake, autoconf, MSBuild, Apache Ant, rake, gradle, jake, grunt, gulp, fez Sorry, I'm sure your syst

    It's great how they presented their company, especially with the silly disk warnings, the FAQ, the list of employees, and the list of locations. Their poking fun at the standard model of business branding makes them stand out.

    So glad you posted this, I was doing something similar and gave up on the idea because I noticed Amazon doesn't even want you keeping their ASINs in a database. But I kept thinking maybe I'm just being paranoid and they wouldn&#x

    Nice work getting things done! I see your Minecraft and Mario games are "unavailable". I'm sure you'll keep creating your own IP in the future, like you did with the other 22 games instead of dealing with copyright and

    Unix communicates via text, stdin stdout stderr. That's pretty much a standard. Windows PowerShell communicates with typed objects. COM components and .NET components are a Windows standard way of communicating between software parts

    I guess it's the threshold of when complaining is justified. The things I complain about aren't CamelCase. It's more on the scale of, using MongoDB as the main store for transactional financial information. (Not a real exam

    I do what I'm told, and I get it done on time. But I also explain why I think it's the wrong decision, and I usually provide links to articles backing me up. I even try to include links to counter-examples. I have little patien

    Exactly. The author exaggerates the amount of time in flow. I wish I could be in flow longer than a day. Design discussions, feedback, and engagements can happen every day and you can block out some time to hopefully get in flow every day.

    Maybe change your perspective. Google is trying to integrate everything into one Google account. Imagine if Github created the Wiki product with a separate login, and then wanted to integrated Wikis into the rest of Github, but then lots o
