I just wish GitHub Enterprise was a better product. When we did the 45 day trial (18 months ago) -- it was just awful, our repo got corrupted, no root access, had to talk to Github support for them to write us a "script". ugh.

I guess it all depends on perspective. When I picked up Gitlab (18 months ago) -- the major competition was Gitorious -- which if you think Gitlab has a bad install -- you have no idea. Gitorious _had_ (haven't looked at it recently,

A lot of Vimmers have this exact problem. Vim has thousands of features, but each person ends up using / loving a couple dozen. The problem is, it isn't the SAME couple dozen so for an emulator to make any significant subset of

Sadly the ViEMU author decided not to do Excel (and doens't plan too). But, for Word, Outlook, Visual Studio, ViEMU does a semi-decent job.

The inproc fixes in nanonmsg are enough for me to start looking at it -- his post explicitly hit on (and claims is fixed) the two most annoying parts of inproc://

I think a lot of people HAVE made the case convincingly, at least well enough for me. I have worked in major C++ shops that ban the use of exceptions (and enforce it). Just to add another person who regrets exceptions to the big pile, htt

Yep, full preemptive scheduler, I am very excited about it!

Don't confuse not understanding something with understanding it and thinking it is a poor idea. The Go authors understand exceptions perfectly -- they just thought that it was a bad idea: http://golang.org/doc/faq

Generally, I see pressure for best practices coming from the bottom more than the top. The developers know having no tests is crap and complain. Improving basic practices DOES directly translate to successful projects, and many developers

As one of those defectors... it isn't so many options, it is that they all have piles of gotchas and corner cases that can take weeks (months!) to debug in complex environments. Yes, you absolutely can use all your cores by combining m

This type of response is why I gave up on Python entirely. Not to pile on you pekk, it isn't your fault, but it is a tone... defensive apologist... "first of all there is no problem, and if there was a problem... it is that Pytho

Well -- first thing is lets decouple your premise. You imply that all the technology you listed was designed with server side in mind. It wasn't: C#, Ruby and Java are general purpose languages not targeted at the server explicitly.

For me... the part that broke my brain was when he cited Ruby / Rails as something that is low on accidental complexity.

IMHO, the pain of being handed code is related to its "magic". The more magic, clever, interesting contortions that are present, the less likely you are to get grips on it in any sensible time. Ruby & Rails give lots of tool

Well -- the new Macbook Air IMHO took a lot of wind out of the sails of such an idea. If I got an Air that I can leave the power cable at home because it will legitimately go all day... why would I even consider such a goofball setup?

Comment rot is like wiki rot -- all too common, and often more confusing. There are a couple good rules of thumb I follow. 1) If you are writing a comment, make sure it is a "why" and not a "what" (why this code exists,

Or, you know tests. Having a "defensive" comment (explaining some critical corner case) is just terrible, write a test that exposes it so code can be refactored. "WARNING" comments are a really bad thing.

Yeah, that left my head spinning as well.

You understand that if it drives the business out of state, there is no benefit, no upside. There is no money to go towards STEM, and if the states general economy goes down over it -- it is a net-negative on STEM.

I stopped working with a client already over this. Simply put, cash-flow wise I can't currently risk taxes and penalties. It turned a customer into a liability because of the horrible wording and unclear guidance (seriously, they wan

Which is really annoying if you have existing clients in the state. It is really poorly worded and confusing, my tax attorney has no idea where our work product falls tax wise.

First of all, there are lots of things stopping them (systems permissions, checks, organizational rules, etc). All might be circumventable -- but to claim they don't exist is ridiculous. Secondly, intent matters. Killing a person can

Don't hold Java against Go :). It is all a matter of perspective I guess. Go requires 2 environmental (GOROOT, GOPATH) variables and you are ready to Go ( zing ). go run foo plus near instant compile times makes it feel extraordinar
