I think the word abstraction here is overloaded. OOP is also fundamentally driven by abstractions. The difference is that FP abstractions are mathematical abstractions, while OOP starts with human-centric conceptual abstractions - the kin

Not really, as there isn't a linearity or markup feel to the XML. Outside of straight text changes, formatting, rearranging, and internal markups, are not possible to 'visually' diff in the XML.

Really? I have never and will never have a facebook account, so this expensive device is now a paper weight..

I agree that the mismatch is not a direct failing of SQL or the relational model - but we continue to use it without adopting a better approach or developing a common abstraction layer. With all of the syntax growth, SQL could certainly hav

There are already page-break attributes for CSS.

I disagree, the relational model is very incongruous with the object model that nearly all LOB applications use. Which is where 99% of the usage issues lie.

CTEs do not get cached though, so they are actually quite bad for repetition without also using a temp table.

Yeah, this threw me as well, it is implemented incorrectly..

It's really beautiful, and such a wonderful project. I must say though that I always have a hard time not hearing the differences (mostly in timing) to the Gould recordings (55 being my go-to). Thank you for sharing!

What a poor design, yikes. Did they seriously just use an off the shelf 'responsive' template and not think twice? We are programmers, this is code - give me information density!

From a quick google, Vanadium also exhibits interesting properties for superconducting. I wonder if studying these higher temperature electron effects could impact that field..

I have watched this video dozens of times. It is like an hour of meditative breathing exercises condensed into 5 minutes.

I disagree - WPF is still used in a very large swath of business applications. As the author points out, if a fork of WPF was modernized with all of the current framework features (generics, async/await, deeper MVVM integration) it wou

If any one or two of the song characteristics were similar most would chalk it up to inspiration - but in this case every progression, melody, vocal slide, beat, and crescendo is appropriated. Not to mention the tone of the piece and lyric

Funnels are used for filtering all the time, think coffee, lab equipment, etc. The parameters of the filter - i.e the mesh - are what you are choosing to go in the funnel.

1) Never run a meeting without a clear agenda. 2) Never leave a meeting without agreed upon action items (task, owner, due date). 3) Set a timer 10-15 before the end of the meeting so that point 2 is achievable. Anything else isn't a m

The main issue with commits is that they end up representing more than a single logical change. Are there any tools that allow you to initiate a commit as an 'intention stack' for work I am about to do, rather than work I have alr

What job do you work where you get paid to commute and it counts towards your 8 hour day? This is definitely not the norm.

You are incorrect.

'begging the question' is the name of a specific logical fallacy and is not grammatically correct. You could say 'begs for the question' or as the parent comment suggests...

I'm not saying volatile is a good solution, but to not cover it in this article is an odd omission - especially since he shows an explicit memory barrier.

It's odd to have a whole section on coherency and never mention the built-in `volatile` keyword who's entire purpose is to indicate that a variable requires fresh reads..

I agree about the use of Interlocked. Obviously if you already need a lock around additional code, there is no need to use Interlocked, but for any single statements where Interlocked is available, it is a simple performance gain. That said

That is a really poor comparison. Imagine you built a piece of software that had tens of thousands of man hours of industry specifications, templates, calculations, symbol libraries, and regulatory compliance built in. Now imagine an americ

Hydrogen is not really what powers the stars, it's the immense gravity that collapses the hydrogen nuclei to allow fusion.
