I hope not. The 'advancement' from text editing to something else would in all likelihood not be an advancement at all but a retardation instead. There is a reason that the invention of writing is the basis of civilization. The on

It actually has these. Mostly in the extreme south east and in some other places where the boundary of the ice was in the ice age. Highest point in the Netherlands is about 300m above sea level.

I was talking about tracking being illegal. I said nothing about the user being able to allow it....

It seems to me that the only actual solution is just to make tracking people illegal.

"splitting it up" is only accidental complexity if one splits things up in services. If one has a monolith I would argue that "splitting it up", in that case known as 'improving coherence' and 'reducing de

At the very least the numbers of 99 ppm and 100ppm are measurement of the problem that one is trying to solve. The more typical braindead form of regulation would mandate one specific kind of mitigation regardless of the current level of po

Not just freeing. Give the guy some kind of lofty award and have the next US president give it to him together with a speech explaining how great the things are that he did.

I would be inclined to say that interruptions to help your colleagues should be accepted. Writing good documentation is actually hard and if you not willing to invest the time to do it well and to make sure the documentation can be found wh

It is true that the effective developer environment sounds a bit too good to be true. Also, there seems to be a contradiction in it. We get an answer from the other team very quickly but on the other hand there are no interruptions. It seem

I think the biggest factor is in this is that so many different tools are being used. Often tools are brought in to make something easier or solve some problem but nobody seems to be thinking about the huge cost that this entails in terms o

All of this is true. To me this article mostly reads like 'water is wet'. What one often sees, though, is that younger developers often have the idea that they need to read through portions of the code as a step of getting into it

Philosophy, logic and science are all applied by persons and the results tend to vary depending on who is applying it. I suppose logic could be a bit more on the objective impersonal side of things but philosophy and science are definitely

The devil is in the detail here, though. Who is going to decide what is misinformation and not? In all practical cases it would seem to be that this person and/or organization is soon going to be a censor. Also, truth is not quite enou

I am all for high test coverage. One should not underestimate the effort in that, though. Some time ago I covered some two thousand lines of code completely in tests. As in, all code paths, checking all side effects. Kind of an effort in th

The thing is, though, that you mostly only get errors for code that is actually executed. So, your program is only fully type checked when all code paths are executed. In the case of python one can ameliorate this situation a bit by using m

As such it seems this law makes sense but it also seems to do little about some other problems. I have started to think lately that what is best is a law to forbid espionage on people. Like, you cannot collect and/or store large portio

I agree with the sentiment that things should be made as simple as possible. The sine function really has no reason to be anything besides a function. I am not sure, though, that writing the simplest thing possible results in mostly pure fu

Well, it is also possible to send money to the wrong account number by bank transfer. In that case the banks also generally say that they cannot do anything about it.

Being held to government authority is indeed normal. Being held accountable to government micromanagement and/or spying is not. The normal way for government to handle this stuff would be to issue a law saying that it is forbidden to s

I think it starts in the language. As a language it is the most bureaucratic one of all. These very deep import paths, the ban on multiple inheritance and the rule that a file can only contain one class all make the language bureaucratic. P

I guess it makes some sense in a tight game loop. I really don't think most non-game programmers should adopt this style. I have actually seen code where lots of stuff was inlined. This resulted in functions that are many-thousands of

When I put two text windows next to one another on my work monitor it allows lines of 94 characters. Therefore, that is my favorite maximum line length.

I think the all or nothing view may be the problem 'maintain spaghetti code' vs 'clean/new code'. When one inherits a code base like that one should start small. Write an automated test that tests a single scenario,
