I've been asking for quite some time what the fundamental difference is between BTC and BCH that would warrant such a price difference. I've not heard an answer that has satisfied me yet.

It's why Alan Kay calls our industry a Cargo Cult and says it's much more akin to the fashion industry than engineering.

In my experience REST is just a code word for a distributed glob of function calls which communicate via JSON. It's a development and maintenance nightmare.

What does this buy over all the other terminal emulators? I see why the component is in IDEs so the developer doesn't need to switch apps to get to the terminal. Now a full fledged JVM shell that supports most of the commands we come t

Yep, there are so many options one couldn't list them all. I spent the first 10 years of my career in defense contracting and got out because I didn't want to contribute at all to that. Since then I've worked for companies wh

I'm getting on in years so I'm becoming progressively more ignorant on technical matters. But with respect to something like software development, what you've described sounds a lot like creating a detailed design or even p

Misleading title as it's definitely not the first subscription based Social Network.

While it may be true most email startups fail, rolling over and saying the UI has been solved is a bit defeatist IMO. Does the author even know about hey.com?

IDK, the XML hysteria is similar by comparison to the dynamic and functional languages hysterias. And it pales in comparison to the micro services, SPA and the current AI hysterias.

Yes they will. I'd never heard the term T9 before this thread. If I saw it on its own I'd think Arnold was attempting to make another Terminator movie.

I use Java and Spring extensively. If I am in a lead role and have say over the code base I won't allow mocking frameworks to be used in tests. If you want a good way to shine a light on poorly structured code, disallow mocking framewo

The Smalltalk implementation is off. Scan is a verb not a noun and I think the readability the author was seeking would be more plain by sending messages to an antenna to ask it to move it's position and report back it's scan time

What kind of programs would one naturally reach for Forth as the optimal solution? It has always struck me as a very low level language but I rarely hear this caveat from its advocates.

Writing musical notation doesn't strike me as technically difficult but I'm unaware of any musical composers who weren't proficient in at least one instrument. Good judgement is only accessible to those who've invested c

We can now go full Inception by teaching AI to read a Coder killer from the past, UML. Now we can just marry Claude with Rational Rose and voila, middle management's wet dream of commoditizing software engineering has been realized.

Fast, good, cheap; pick two. It's the single immutable law in software development and the one thing management has been trying to circumvent for decades. This is just their latest incantation.

A real issue until recently, with remote work as an option, was the lack of opportunity to pursue more intellectual forms of work in a small rural area. I grew up raising cattle and a number of my extended family members were loggers. Howe

The JVM and Garbage collector were good but were already present with Lisp and Smalltalk. I've been developing professionally since '94 and the first two years of my career were with C++. In '97 I had the opportunity to move

Emacs and a couple of key plugins can get you pretty darned close to the Cat interface. But here's the thing, Emacs is still behind the Open Genera interface which I believe, predates the Cat. And the extensability of the Lisp Machine&

For all his idiosyncratic traits, Stallman was remarkably prescient about many things.
