   I am Russian. Years ago I had strange experience: my friend invited me as unofficial expert. I was amazed: the guys whom I talked were "right guys". One of them told me: "From the call log I can tell more than a guy think himself" (Excuse m

   I'm an architect in my firm and I'm tired of: a) .NET-ters who will use something only if it is .NET or at least Microsoft b) Javers who think that everything non-java is universal evil. (We have 45% of .NET-ters, 35% of javers, 20% : dev

   The thing I like most in python is not python itself but a "pythonic way". "Pythonic" > Python. In my opinion, it's not "pythonic" to use DBMS, just because it written in python. So the "selling point" is flawed. Disclosure: I'm usin

   Correct if I'm wrong, but I think that Many Worlds Interpetation does not explain a thing. It's like religion - one can think it's possible, other - impossible. But it can't be proved or disproved

   I'm in the same boat as you. I'm using reST for everything: docs for people (converting them to html and doc before sending), doc-comments in every language I use, be python, T-SQL, java or F# I don't think it's ideal but it's just works

    And I'm not OK with ONLY Turing occupying this position. Von Neumann, Curry, Kholmogorov, McCartey, Armstrong, Norvig, many others (yes, I'm mixing alive and dead) - are they really not standing near Turing?

    Yes. I suspect that in XXII computer industry will be epitomized by Jobbs. "Jobbs did computer industry". Laughable, but surely possible

    I do not understand this device. As tablet it has big weight. As ultrabook - small screen and worse input. (And I don't like keyboard layout shown in pictures) It's not contender for IPad/Android, it's not contender for ultrabooks. Maybe if

    You are right, but what I tell my programmers: if you want high performant SQL-query you can make 2 things: 1. Think carefully about data and write generic SQL without any DBMS specifics 2. Try to optimize everything with your DBMS sp

    Funny. The same problem exists with OLAP databases. People trying to do MOLAP without building ROLAP. They are thinking that MS SASS, ESSBASE, Cognos or Qlikview will do some "magic" that eliminate the need to carefully think about data

    Very strange. It completely contradicts with my experience. Almost everything that easy to do in Linux is someway distorted or missing completely in Windows. Basic things: apache, nginx, supervisord - underpowered or completely missing. Ipy

    That's truth. In Russia we do not have normal opposition. Nemtsov - unpopular because of his past, Limonov - too radical, Kasparov - is just a clown.

    Very funny. And not so impractical - send a letter with one side as description and other as full data. For backups I can imagine such situation: "OMG! My HDD crashed!!! Ha! No panic! I made backups! Now I just need to restore them from th

    I am mostly agree with you, but: >>Or compare the maturity of alternative JVM languages I will not list Scala, Clojure and IronRuby, but IronPython is very mature. And: F#. F# in my opinion is more mature than Scala.

    OOP as collection of some practical principles to structure code - is good. But mandatory OOP and OOP as religion is something unforgivable for me.
