This struggle has been going on a long time and not just in the software development domain. 20 years ago there was a swell of ISVs a (Independent Software Vendors) in the blogosphere telling of their experiences of branching out on their o

I’ve wondered about this for a while now with all the social media banning. The FCC requires one to have a license to broadcast over the airwaves and from what I understand these regulations stem from a limited number of frequencies. But I

Even before that, Sneakers “predicted” the NSA spying on its own citizens. I use quotes because it happens too often to be happen stance IMHO.

They wouldn’t need to use cloud, they would provide cloud services like the companies I mentioned. Of course it’s way to late in the game for that now.

Not on cloud; cloud. Like AWS, GCP and Azure.

Has he actually admitted how he failed in his responsibilities? I have not followed the FB fall closely but from the outside there appears to be some dubious strategic decisions at work. It would be interesting to hear him elaborate on the

Protesilaos Stavrou seems to be facing serious financial troubles and has reached out for help. Prot is most well known on the inter webs for his contributions to Emacs and I’d be surprised if a significant number of people on Hacker News d

Unfortunately I think your last sentence is right on target. I think the world is headed straight towards a neo-techno feudalism where individuals seeking any form of protection will need to pledge their fealty to some big corporation feuda

Yeah I got a really big kick out of The Big Short. I don’t know how anyone who was a home owner or potential home owner in 2005/2006 could not see what was happening. We sold our home in San Diego in 2006 because it was obvious to me t

Yeah, I guess it’s a bit of a chicken and egg thing but corporations brought centralized servers. Of course we’re discussing a topic on a centralized server now but PG is not making any money from it.

I think there’s another option and that’s to get rid of votes AND comments. Using Twitter as an example, I think removing likes and comments and only providing a retweet and one level deep quote tweet would make it a much better platform. O

I’m not sure if this comment is a jab at the unwashed masses but you did leave out another group, corporations. BBS Sysops, and people that were putting up web sites in the mid 90s weren’t doing it for money. It wasn’t until the cult of mon

My conjecture is it’s all about the preferred UI. If you look at something like gnus it really doesn’t draw a distinction between e-mail, rss or nntp.

A test should have as many assertions as needed to test an interface. If you find you’re needing a lot of assertions to do that then I suspect either the interface under test is too large or you’re testing multiple stack frames. In my exper

That test seems to be testing whether or not the library used to deserialize json works. I don’t think that’s valid unless the code base you are working on is Gson or Jackson or the like. Assuming that’s not the case and you’re interested i

There are a number of BBSs still operational too. Most use telnet over port 21, some use ssh and there are even a few that you can access with dial up.

Thanks for this. I’m going to attempt to get it working today. I’ve always wondered if this would work given the data models seem to be a very close match.

What the author is describing is engineering and thus, orthogonal to 90% of software projects in "The Enterprise" which tend to be more of a Cargo Cult where information exists as Tribal Knowledge.
