Are you saying that Rust is trying to predict the correctness of the program? Sure, parts like deadlocks and memory use, but the whole thing? This seems to be a common misconception, maybe from interacting with overzealous Rust fan clubber

As DJB and other excellent programmers have demonstrated, they're not strictly necessary either. (and I really like Rust)

Did progressive enhancement ever catch on? It made for some great Rails 2 tutorials but I don't remember seeing it much in the wild. It's going away because you basically have to write everything twice and it's hell to keep

Depends on the SPA. If you're trying to do something relatively simple, where the events and state clearly map to the UI, jQuery isn't too bad. It's even fun. Once your SPA goes through an iteration or two with a few differ

When Atom makes serious changes to APIs, they find all published packages using those APIs and notify the authors that things are changing. Often the notification arrives as a pull request implementing the needed changes, along with an apo

Net 30 is just the way contractors are paid in the US. It's rare that a company can/will agree to something different, especially if there are multiple contractors bidding on the job. Not saying it's impossible, just that it

I have been lied to on the way in. You hear about all this incredible stuff coming down the pipe that just needs a little more work. After a few months you figure out that that cashflow was 1/10th of what was implied and the pipe is

The first two are not really OSes and don't offer binary compatibility (they require recompile-the-world). And Symbian is dead, perhaps partly due to C++'s brittleness. Any others?

Thinko: I last used BeOS in 1997, not 1999. Curious to hear what you find.

BeOS did some tricks with the MMU to catch overruns but didn't have proper memory protection (in 1999 anyway, when I last used it). Any app could scribble on the kernel and hardware devices. This was part of why the graphics felt so f

Can you name a few? All the ones I can think of are academic and still require you to recompile all applications when the OS targets a newer compiler.

The G5 is dirt cheap at Costco. It's a great phone except for the camera. If Moto could put a decent camera in there (go ahead and charge me an extra $50), it very well could be my ideal phone.

Well, 1% loans never existed. They were just teaser rates. After a time period (say, 3 years), it would reset to awful ARM rates that the borrower couldn't possibly afford. The loan agent: "No problem, just refi before then.&quo

That's a trick question. Have we solved congestion? No, and we won't any time soon. But have we improved travel speed and convenience before? Sure: high speed trains, commuter airlines, superhighways, etc. And, maybe one day,
