Based on the article, the title should be, "Why is C Git faster than JGit." It's literally nothing but that.

There's no counter argument to an article that specifically breaks down why C git is faster that JGit back in 2009. Lucene isn't relevant.

I'm not convinced scripting languages are not suitable for large projects. It's said a lot, but I've never seen proof one way or the other. I suspect unmanageable code-bases derive from uncontrollable project forces, ignoranc

I roll my window up if I'm near motorcycles. There's been too many times when my ear got blasted all of a sudden. Worse is booming bass. Not while driving, but at home from the neighbors. Hours on end... boom... boom...

Can't wait for this. I'm still on his 'patterns' book. He's such a good author.

For beginners, this is the last book to start with. I'm a big fan of Doug Crockford, but this book is opinionated and the examples are often not well explained.

I'm not a Java developer so forgive my ignorance, but is Eclipse as good as IntelliJ?

NVME might be the greatest advancement ever in terms of noticable speed improvement. SSD was alright, but I wasn't blown away by it.

There should be no shared code and all projects should be totally isolated from eachother. If you need shared code, fork it and maintain it to your needs.

That was elegant and much more insightful.

There's also a school of thought that managers are not necessary. I'm a big fan of it.

This actually makes sense. No need for the big survellance net.

Yes, it is about the deadlines. That's what keeps me getting a paycheck, which is the reason I'm working. What you describe as teamwork is just every day development activity. There is no discipline to attending a meeting when the

More often than not, I see code without any comments. There's this idea of writing self documenting code that really changed the commenting world. And that whole thing was evangelized by Uncle Bob and the Agile wrecking crew. Before lo

I've also seen it where every comment was just who made the code change and the date. "John K. 10/13/1994"

Man, I've been bit a few times with this. I'll read code and think, "Why the hell did they do that?" Later, when I'm almost done re-writing it, I see the edge case they were working around. At the very least, commen

Only in the mind of the person writing it.

by zerocount 5y ago
Yep. I make a commit on every little change and every team I've been on makes me squash them on merge. Comments in Git commits are bad. Just comment the code and make sure the comments are updated while you're in the code. You can

Yeah, I'm a pen and paper guy. Make a list of things to do each day and start at the top. If I don't finish the list, it's the beginning of the next day's list. For some reason, I prefer pens over pencils.

You're right about the world moving on. It's not practical for most people. I'm 51 and don't use it for much except texting and the hotspot, but I still take it with me if I'm expecting a call while I'm outside

I think most of us 'old' people taught ourselves and I'm certainly not special. It just takes an interest in whatever you're doing. Before the Internet we had the manual to read, and that's about it. With the Intern

Yes, but nobody in a position to affect a country with Covid lockdowns and laws believed her. It seems like money and politics are running the show.
