Yeah, I tried using Powershell as my shell and that's when I found out Powershell is more about the scripting language than an optimized shell used for everyday use. I was confronted with this almost immediately because one of the thin

The only thing I would say you are missing is differentiating index funds. Also insurance companies are basically bookies.

I wouldn't get caught up in predicting the market long term. Do you plan to be in your home for a good period of time, long enough to build equity? Is the (mortgage + HOA + insurance + property tax) going to be 1/4 or less of your

I agree with you but what I've noticed is for all the large projects I've worked on it was impossible to get an official answer as to whether or not the whole endeavor had a positive ROI. In fact, with a little back of the napkin

I'm currently working on a project that I've suspected from the very beginning is way too complicated for a serverless solution. Nine months into it and I'm thoroughly convinced. The scaled container approach (Kubernetes&#x2F

In addition to uBlock Origin, if you've got some spare hardware lying around, I highly recommend Pi-Hole. Here's a link of typical numbers from my home LAN. https://imgur.com/YfAJUlv

Exactly and it's almost perfectly orthogonal to engineering.

As long as they can be sued for liable the way any other publisher can I have no problem with them pulling 8chan. If they're going to selectively hide behind section 230 to promote their political agenda then I do, they can't have

What I've noticed is in a lot of big enterprise shops that are playing "Agile" there is a big gap in support/tooling software; that is, software that makes developers more productive by automating repetitive tasks. Since

Nice job. I think these graphs depict Perl's "sphere of influence" in IT with respect to time much better than the original article's depiction.

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you specialize in legacy code? Do you focus on short contract work? Have you built relationships with local companies. I’m genuinely curious in your process.

While I've really enjoyed your posts in this thread you're anecdotes do highlight something very important; quality software is expensive. Also, most clients, be they internal to the org or external don't really know what the

Yeah... The article is a nice thought but how many Story points were given to the effort? Did it fall within an Epic? Or was it just a Spike? If it was a Spike, did it map to more than three Story points because Spike's are really not

I'll bet the engineering process of the software written for the Apollo 11 lunar lander was much closer to the bridge building process than you might think. I'll also bet there's a whole host of software projects which use si

The new system was backed by an Oracle DB and that was provided, with schemas defined and another engineer was responsible for the ETL of the mainframe data to the Oracle DB. This was obviously helped a lot.

I'm not slamming Emacs. I'm just pointing out that there are millions of developers that won't use it and making it a, more or less, requirement to get into Common Lisp is not good.
