Actually there are serializable forms like TOML that are very readable.

Sorry but from a Java perspective I fail to see Docker as an improvement over deploy war.

The enso link is interesting because there was another Enso project over a decade ago by Aza Raskin. That project, ironically, asserted the superiority of natural language and thereby text as a user interface.

If you like to write novel code it may be that you really enjoy puzzles. One way to scratch that itch in existing systems is seeing if it can retain it's use cases with less code. See if you can make your net lines of code negative for

Even if he’s known to be mentally ill, his ideas can still stand. Take Ted Kaczynski for example. His actions were inexcusable but his ideas and writings on technology and its relationship to society have value.

Ahhh, a multitasking single user personal computer; the pinnacle of personal computing. AFAIK, Amiga, it’s variants and Haiku are the only OS’s left that fall in this category.

You can program just about any darned way in Java which can lead to some pretty schizophrenic code bases and organizations. I recall a fairly recent code review where the author had a static method in a class which took in another type, did

Yeah, I think a distinction needs to be made between bastardized JS laden applications and documents with embedded rich media. It’s interesting the four bullet points in the link all mention documents but HTTP hasn’t been about documents f

Been a couple of years since I used AWS and I remember when CDK was just coming out. My big question at the time was whether or not the CDK would alert you to errors at compile time and save a bunch of whaling and gnashing of teeth that com

How to be useful means many things to many people. It’s not uncommon to spend time performing useful work that’s not viewed as such by the right people. Back when engineers actually interfaced with stake holders these types of issues were l

Aza talked at length about this when he was working on Enso. The premise is that it’s inefficient from a UI perspective to have an OS with a bunch of silo’d applications that aren’t easily able to share data. I agree with this and I think i

RPN with pocket calculators was nice because of the screen real estate restrictions. But on computers there’s a lot of screen real estate to show the program and the variable assignments to intermediate results. Even with long procedures, i

Fastest growing has nothing to do with the link I posted. What is relevant is they were the highest paying jobs on that list. Compared to all wage jobs, nursing pays relatively high. Just take the L and move on.

The first paying developer job I had was writing apps for O/S 2. But that software was for the US Navy. I think IBM thought they could secure the “real” use cases and let Microsoft have the mom, pop, buddy and sis market. Forward think
