I sunk a ton of time into Encarta as a kid. In some ways, it still seems superior to Wikipedia.

> The flexibility benefit modern Python gives is probably more like 1000x If true, that would mean that a 1 year C++ project could be done in 2 hours, and a 10 year project in half a week.

We (Red Hat) also released an easy way to do a side by side install of newer tooling without impacting the OS. Python 3 was released on Red Hat Enterprise Linux in 2013, and we currently support Python 3.6. Here's more on how software

Hah, that happened to me at the Canadian border. When asked what my profession was, I said "Computer Programmer", but my visa was issued for an "Architect". Had fun explaining that I am a "Software" Architect,

I agree, when Kafka is (or can be made) a good fit it simplifies a lot of this. Thanks for the presentation link. I'm seeing companies trying to use Kafka for "Request style" services, ie as just another enterprise messaging

Some messaging systems have features to make ordering easier. For example, ActiveMQ has Message Groups ( http://activemq.apache.org/message-groups.html ) which guarantee a single consumer processes message from the same group

What I'd like to advocate for is a middle ground: using queues at key points in the larger distributed system to reduce the scope of cascading failures and HTTP/P2P messaging elsewhere. If a request comes in from an external syste

Too many people would use the term "refactor" when they really mean "rewrite". As far as microservices, one benefit is that it makes blurring the lines between domains much harder. A mediocre developer can easily go into

Mostly agree, but partial classes were a far later addition

The article is also about Asmodee purchasing Lookout Games. They bypassed purchasing Mayfair, which was publishing games created by Lookout Game's oversees, and purchased Lookout instead.

I'm surprised they don't purchase it just for the brand. As an American board gamer, I instantly notice games that have the Mayfair logo and expect them to be the type of games I like.

Or a car with a "banker cargo" vs a "barista cargo". When I take a toll road, it is with full knowledge of what my time is worth, and that most people can't justify it.

Yep, this will start yet another bidding war on our area. For the last couple years we've had a constant back and forth of each region trying to claim the new FBI headquarters.

I usually advocate for storing (and therefore versioning) tests with the code under test, but this one complaint may have changed my mind. Backwards compatibility is incredibly important for microservice architectures. The more tests are bl

Depends what you mean by fast. Anecdotally, I learned to use a computer well before anyone thought to teach me to type. I still type "incorrectly" (basically use only a few fingers, with my hands moving more than they should). So

100%. I work in consulting, and we spend a lot of time trying to find ways to do this better. But no amount of clearly documented prerequisites, checkpoint meetings to try to make sure they'll be ready before kickoff, or anything else

PTC is a lot more than overspeed control, imagine any use case that would be enabled by electronically controlled trains connected to a highly available network.
291.
by cpitman 9y ago
I'd guess that until PTC becomes standard across the country, new lines may be deployed with out it. The lack of PTC certainly doesn't stop them from running trains on pre-existing lines today. I've spent almost the last deca

Yep, the US Space and Rocket Center is a museum right outside the base. The Davidson Center for Space Exploration (seen here https://www.rocketcenter.com/admission ) has a Saturn V rocket broken down into stages. I had an ho

This is assuming the breach is stealing a disk though, right? If the encrypted storage is part of an application, and I infiltrate the application or can trick it into serving me data, then the encryption cannot help. Any runtime breach isn

No, that wasn't me. I think you are incorrect, though. Fox was only an example, this story was carried by most national outlets. And I've never met anyone who changes their mind because the majority is against them and is silencin

It is not just those people being silenced though. It is people who stayed home, maybe their views are not quite as radical as someone who would protest, or maybe they tend to be more politically apathetic (ie most people). When those peopl

The White Nationalist march on Charlotte is actually an example of voices being silenced. Photos of people there were distributed, their names were found (sometimes incorrectly), and their places of work contacted. Then they were fired. If

Yes! If everyone knew it was a popular election, the results would be drastically different. Candidates would actually campaign and get out the vote in states they never even think about now, and voters in states that are not swing states w

I don't see that. It has tools for running the benchmarks yourself, but that doesn't give you permission to publish benchmark results. And even if it did, a blog post from an employee cannot give you permission to do something tha
