I agree with the software is grown analogy. And like gardening, many organizations get burned because they don’t adequately tend to the garden after it’s planted.

To my knowledge Hacker News does not publish misinformation that labels facts as misinformation. This is what Facebook, Twitter and YouTube do repeatedly. They’re publishers full stop.

Most enterprise developers aren’t allowed to know the answers to your questions as none of them fits into a feature rooted in a quarterly OKR. For most enterprises developers it takes a couple of weeks to create a git repo because it requir

In the two years I worked on serverless AWS I filed four support tickets. Three out of those four I came up with the solution or fix on my own before support could find a solution. The other ticket was still open when I left the company. Bu

What is adequate and what is the frame of reference? If adequate is average by some objective metrics and the frame of reference is Netflix itself then they would need to be terminating half their work force annually to make good. This soun

The point is worse things were happening in the summer of 2020 but governments weren’t freezing funds then. This shows the actions are completely arbitrary and based on political ideology. Protection of civil liberties is not subject to the

Heck most people won't even figure in the extra cost of electricity for a larger home, never mind understanding upkeep is a fairly consistent fixed cost that’s proportional to the size of the home.

Most sermons are practical. Yesterday's was on the power of the word sorry and the benefits of being able to give and accept forgiveness in your personal relationships. Now there were many references to the Psalms as well as Christ bei

It does sound reasonable but will they invest in the resources to make this easier to those in the trenches. For example, I'm wondering why any DoD software would have the need to reach outside it's own internal repositories for i

> I say that because I've never seen a standard so easy and seamless for a developer to get his code running. "deploy war" was pretty damn easy.

by 0x445442 5y ago
Thank you. If I had a dime for every time I've uttered, how is this easier or more efficient than "deploy war", over the past 5-7 years I'd be a very wealthy man.

There was a period between 1996-2000 where we had broadband and the old web and it was faster than today. But I remember an article in Wired around 2000 about two guys that owned a diamond business in Canada who moved to L.A. to start a dot

I applaud the effort but I think the approach of trying to make the terminal more graphical is the wrong approach. The efforts should be at making graphical displays accept terminal protocols. As a simple test, will the command watch YouTub

It's because your interaction with the computer is based on language which is more natural than graphical point and click interaction.

Also, natural language is a better command interface than iconic point and click for intermediate to advanced users. The mouse studies that came out of Apple back in the day were based on testing against the mass market so their findings on

Agree with point 2. But 2&3 are somewhat orthogonal.

Believe it or not, around the turn of the century there were many thick client apps. But back then it was a challenge to ship and update these applications. This pain, along with the continued rollout of broadband led many to advocate for c

As is so often the case, there's a lack of actual engineering in software "engineering". SPAs may be faster to develop and more performant or they may not. But simply declaring it to be so is not engineering. Extensive time i

Alan Kay has similar talks where he has some subtle condemnations of what the industry as a whole has devolved into. He uses terms like Cargo Cult and he calls out the wide spread hubris for not knowing and/or actively ignoring the his

I don't have experience with Ruby or Clojure. While you're debugging an app, can you step to a break point, evaluate the next statement, navigate back up the call stack, change code that's already executed and try again in th

You can manage the Smalltalk image the same way you do with Emacs by starting with a base image that loads only the extra packages you want.

Most of the Smalltalk implementations I know support version control via Git or some other mechanism as a means of code distribution. And as I understand it, production code is built with CI/CD pipelines using a base image and checking

Often times the what is not known by anybody but the who and if you're lucky the who is still around to tell you. If they're not, quite often you screwed because that shit is the only place where the business rules are captured.

I wasn't aware of this and I'm glad to see they're doing it. But my guess is this is a relatively recent offering in response to the AWS version and the issues I was mentioning.
