   It also ran on SPARC and PA-RISC, I think even some Motorola 68000 at some point.

   I don't think the number of lines changed, removed and added it going to be all that useful. If anything, it will likely lead to erroneous snap judgements.

   I haven't seen any evidence that the shrinking earnings of authors are related to piracy. From what I've read, publishers are simply retaining more of the profits for themselves and, often, theorizing that piracy is somehow raisin

   Personally, I find it hard to be sympathetic to the publishers and authors when they are so over-the-top. Painting the Internet Archive as "vile" and claiming they don't provide any valuable service strikes me as so far from

   This implies a rationality that I have not often seen in my professional life. The places I have worked, HR has typically let the hiring manager decide if they want to promote an existing employee or start a new search. I don't expect

   In my opinion, there are two kinds of people working from home: those who chose to work from home and made a series of decisions based on that goal and people who have been told by their employer that they need to work from home because of

   I am surprised by this comment; the article seemed clear that the author didn't mind paying for the book. Their issue was that the book was advertised as an EPUB file but then came wrapped in proprietary DRM.

    Running the batch file that comes with the project works for me and has worked on a variety of versions of Windows. I haven't had as much luck with the "clj" tool. I don't see who the "clj" shell script is some

    Agreed, the Scoop instructions are simpler and many developers will already have it installed.

    The Windows story for Clojure is disappointingly weak, especially if you are going by the "Getting Started" section on their website.[0] They have reasonable instructions for Linux and MacOS, but for Windows they point you to an &

    We host our own GitLab instance and it's been great. Performance is way better than the public GitLab site and it's been dependable. It would be nice to disable some of the features but, overall, everyone at my company is happy.

    I need Windows to continue to work on these lame old .Net Framework applications that I have to maintain. I'm working on migrating them to .Net Core but that's not a priority for the company, it's something I do as time and b

    I think that people who really embrace the free software philosophy will continue to use Linux. I used Linux for years and I really enjoyed it on several levels. In my opinion, WSL2 is leveling out the playing field between Windows and MacO

    I disagree that he's asking people to take a big gamble. While it seems unrealistic to me, Dr. Burry made a point of tying his recommendation to widespread, rapid testing and contact tracing. If these things were in place, I do think l

    I make flowcharts all the time. I find them particularly useful for showing stakeholders how different pieces of an integration project work together. Usually the moving parts are pretty coarsely grained, like an ETL job or something that w

    I think it would make a lot more sense to pay COBOL developers at the same rate as other software developers. The era where we had analysts writing psuedo-code so clear that it could simply be "coded" into COBOL is over, if it eve

    I fully expect the Supreme Court to rule as narrowly as they can on this case. As others have pointed out, to rule otherwise could potentially disrupt the entire software industry. "Alternatively, the Supreme Court could hold that soft

    I wouldn't be surprised if Sciter comes bundled with a VM for running JS, but it's not explicit on their website. They do position themselves an an alternative to Electron. And it looks like every anti-virus package uses this prod

    I would go further and recommend two or three targeted websites. Maybe one targeted at developers who would like to cater to a more security conscious market, small though that may be, and get some applications in the field. Another site fo

    I'm from the US and I've never heard of a bank verifying permission before releasing funds, they simply release the funds. As far as I know, US banks no longer check the signature (if they ever did) and no longer validate the date

    I don't have any love of Electron but this seems to be how the majority of messaging products are targeting the desktop. Slack works the same way... I guess it seems a bit unfair to use this as a criticism for Signal in particular; the

    The Uber vehicle that ended up killing the pedestrian in Arizona was running under conditions similar to the ones that you outline here. The only notable difference was that a person was monitoring the vehicle.
