I agree with Carmack on: "'good C++' is better than 'good C'" OOP has some brilliant patterns. It is also very hard to do correctly.

On a sidenote: All the points you listed apply to Canada pretty exactly and they hardly need police at all (in the parts that i know very well which is BC and NWT). Also thinking a shotgun is gonna help you with a grizzly is a major fallacy

This is just not true. You cannot just give a smart person with common sense some pages of API docu and suddenly they are software architects. This takes years of experience to do. What you can do is be a code monkey and solve a very specif

The domain is (non technical) government data analysts. Yes we ran into this a lot with people wanting more control. There are several hooks and extension points in the software. Basically every graphical element has the equivalent of being

I did not mean to generalize too much, there is plenty of protest in america against this.

I don't get it why Americans stand for this. It's not like this is happening to minorities and the masses are just turning a blind eye. When I lived in the US and was in contact with a cop every single time I felt like I was in da

Unfortunately I cannot share code. It is actually quite simple. There is a graphical designer that connects to a data warehouse. There someone defines a graph like structure with nodes that contain a collection of data rows and relations to

I would argue that an API is easier to learn by several factors regardless of how complex it is compared to the abstract reasoning and modelling skills to actually transform the faced problems into a precise model.

I think the major problem with this approach is trying to solve the general Problem. These graphical abstractions can be excellent when tailored to a domain. We are shipping a product right now that abstracts the database away through a lit

I never said it was easy. It's enterprise features that HAVE to have a long lifetime. But COM is simple interface dispatching (it is actually much easier to implement COM in C/C++ because you have actual control over the interface

All i thought when reading the linked thread was "What a horrendous waste of so many developer hours". Tolerance is a two way street. It also means accepting minor things you necessarily don't agree with. These topics are blo

Backwards compatibility is a STRONG point of windows, not a drawback. Remember that this is something used by business users. Technologies like COM are without equal in the field (native automation of every major software for example). The

Having done whitewater kayaking for a long time I cannot stress this enough. You need to practice being under water with being denied surfacing even if you strongly want to. Once you are calm, you can orient yourself by observing air bubble

This article really belongs in a private conversation or a comment. When I open an article I am really looking for original content, not some "I disagree with this other dude" evangelism.

Who decides what part of my "distinctiveness" and "cultural identity" is acceptable? You? The majority? Some higher authority? This is a slippery slope...

by MrDosu 11y ago
This is exactly the point. If you are actively being stabbed, the legality of it is pretty irrelevant to your situation. It is about a place that hosts a large part of the open source community. Should a private company have power over all

The only reason web applications are such a big thing is discovery. It is much easier to get someone to your page than it is to get him to install an executable. What we need is better app marketplaces with OS integration.

People like to gossip and trashtalk. We can act like it is not human nature and philosophize about ideal conversation, but one look at the afternoon TV programme will quickly convince you otherwise. Imo the way forward is not demonizing eit

Remember you are in a business. It exists to make money, not to be a form of kindergarden (yeah I am one of those people when it comes to producing the best possible outcome to the company). Also being 'technical' not equal '
