I started with QBASIC too. Except I'd learned Speccy Basic from an Usborne book (Prior to getting access to a real computer) and as a result some parts of my programs failed to work correctly (usually stuff around PEEK and POKE) It was

And you know what, the C devs weren't wrong. Coming back to C++ after a decade of Python I realised I had largely forgotten about how memory management works and that felt bad. I felt stupid, because not thinking about that wasn't

Having done some old Skool desktop dev recently I can't shake the feeling that modern web development is mostly just trying to reinvent wheels that have mostly been sorted for 20+ years. I guess it's understandable though, the web

Thanks for this. I find articles like this on HN tend to be full of rosy-eyed nostalgia. It's rather annoying.

You made the point I wanted to make without sarcasm. Thanks :-)

"Rule 5: When to use Python or Ruby Python and Ruby seem to me to be pretty similar in that they’re scripting languages and dynamically typed and seemed like the greatest thing in the 00’s. You use them when speed is more important tha

Have you considered filing a ticket on their issue tracker? I find Jetbrains are pretty responsive...

No good DB UI on Linux? You never heard of DataGrip then?

It hasn't changed.

No offense to anyone here contributing to Elm, but the project sounds like it's a dumpster fire based on the linker post.

The only personal projects I've ever done that I stuck with were, unsurprisingly, the ones I dog-fooded. In other words, I worked on them and developed them to the point of usefulness because I actually needed to make use of them.

That is debatable. For sending IMs, sure. For a lot of other stuff it's pretty noisy and even with search is still less organisable than email.

It's pretty simple. He's saying OP worked at Google for 6 years but his career progression has been largely static.

Agreed. Boring jobs leave me unhappy and increase the odds I'll quit and move on. In fact, I've changed jobs roughly every 2 to 3 years precisely due to boredom. It sounds nice to be able to get by day-to-day in a full job but it&

Yeah...as someone who recently relocated from a third-world country (South Africa) to a first-world country (Canada) I'm just going to go ahead and tell you that while the costs of living and property in third-world countries sound gre

I'm amazed that I scanned a bunch of comments and it seems like no one read the article and noticed that it's not actually a proper SciAm article, just an Op-Ed. Let me repeat, this is not a proper SciAm article in which some actu

Why are you sharing a UEFI partition between your OSes? Pretty sure you don't have to?

by OOPMan 9y ago
Nice to see someone pushing back against the UEFI hate. I personally don't have a huge issue with UEFI, for me it has made dual/multi-booting Linux and Windows much much safer as I don't have to worry about the boot manager f
