Still beats a yaml file format that has evolved so far that is effectively describing a program and has no tooling at all.

The year 2020 solution for this problem is a face mask.

Some time ago I visited some Italian cities from Germany by train. I could have done that tour with little changes 2000 years earlier. Of course I would have to get over the Limes first to enter the civilized parts of Germany in Mogontiacu

True for any computer, so not a good argument. I interned in the early 90's at a mainframe shop, and everything felt archaic even back then. Creating a file (sry 'dataset') is as complex as partioning a disk on other systems.

What's interesting that the IETF unconsciously tried to replicate classical TV with multicast. Apart from the complications of adding a lot of highly dynamic state to routers, it turns out that people actually prefer on-demand streamin

Innovations like that need 15-20 years from a working prototype to mass adoption, so I agree with the prediction that we won't see it in the 20's yet.

I want to agree, but the problem is that you now need 10 versions for many operations that are in a string library. Hidden assumptions -- like 'replacing a character in a string can never fail' -- may fail (eg in an email address

In fact, two thirds of people aboard the Hindenburg survived. Since the we had a lot more aircraft landing accidents where all passengers died in the jet fuel fire.

Agile has fallen into the hands of big consultants. Now the focus is on process, with more meetings and presentations than ever before.

Especially in bigger companies, decisions to buy a product take a lot of time. Department A likes your product and starts asking detailed questions. Department B gets wind of that and feels that A is trying to get on B's turf. Departme

Be aware that as a sales guy, you are a nuisance to the people you are talking to. In the best case, I'll remember your proposal if a use case comes up, but I have neither time nor motivation to give feedback on your failed attempt to

While I love the convenience, especially while travelling, I'd add 5. Fraudulent publishers; you can't easily see how 'thick' the book is. Some 'novels' turn out to be 70 page short stories.

Some dubious arguments there. Why should I trust Cloudflare? Yes, EDNS client subnet leaks the IP address to the authoritative server of a domain. But in almost all cases, a DNS lookup is followed by a connection to an IP address of that do

Borders were certainly not the only factor. As car development became more expensive, only bigger players had the capital to do it. But different national regulations (eg in France head lights had to be yellow instead of white) and tariffs

While this is all true, there is a tendency that big markets create big players. Eg. in the 1950s/60s, many European countries had several independent car manufacturers. The cheap car in your country may have been worse than a cheap ca

The German 'Duden' is comparable in its role to Webster/Johnson. A private dictionary publisher who somehow managed to be regarded as the standard for a language.

It's a regulation problem, not a technical one. In Germany --and probably in other EU countries--, the telco must make sure that a caller is authorized to use a certain number as origin. STIR just shifts that responsibility to some ot

While I agree about Intel's market force, they have a much better open source software story than nvidia. Nvidia is as closed as the other big player, Broadcom.

And it was somehow easier to move people and farms to a giant space station than to build climate controlled greenhouses on earth. But it looked stunning in the movie..

The difference is that as of today most public transport concepts have been tried and evaluated. None of them offered enough advantages to justify the cost of building a new network. Of course, it happens that new technology makes older con

It usually takes some time from the point "we have done all the basic research" to something that is successful in the market. Today, autonomous driving seems still to be in the basic research stage. If there was a research car, f

In 5G circles there is this "vision" of VR/AR servers that reside in "edge datacenters" close to the customer. The user's movements are streamed to such a server which returns the calculated video stream. This

The idea was to have something you would call microservice architecture today, just for OS functions. An ethernet driver server application would talk to an IP server, which would talk to a TCP server that distributes messages to the appl

Is Folger and Maxwell really a light roast? Dark roasts cover up flaws in cheap beans, which I would expect in a cheap brand.
