What I remember most fondly about the Borland stack was how well it abstracted away all the messy Windows 3.x and 95 UI code and made working professionally as a Windows dev much less stressful. Also, for a time, it totally blew away MS Vis

Being a east central Florida native, I grew up picking Valencia's off neighborhood trees, before the terrible canker in the 90's forced the state agriculture office to basically bulldoze and burn every non-commercial orange tree i

Marx of course came up with these ideas, and much of the 20th century was filled with the unimaginable horror that the people of the world suffered as leaders such as Stalin, Mao, and Pol-Pot, to name of few, implemented them on a national

I just happened to see this article/website while listening to a "70s hits" channel at the hotel I'm staying. Have you ever considered analyzing the hit progressions thru time, to see if and how our tastes change? Also,

So how do you explain the exact opposite actually working in the wild? Over the past couple hundred years, almost all full communist/socialist governments have failed, while market-based capitalistic ones have pulled billions out of ab

I am glad someone brought this up... The idea that Facebook's "Russian meme/adverts" situation had anything to do with Trump winning is laughable beyond any reasonable measure. He won because Clinton was perhaps the wor

Quick question that I only ask because of my 30-odd year history as a corporate contractor... Does anyone here really use those UML-based docs to actually learn the systems? Or do they do what I always did and use the trusty step-debugger

Whenever they try to have one, everyone shows up at the wrong room. They show up at the one they told to go to, not the one that actually contains the speakers.

This article brings up a thought experiment I've been pondering for a good while now... So what would you charge for a drug that guaranteed you would live 30 extra years after you spent 20 million to develop it? For an added twist, let

China is almost wholly dependent upon U.S. citizens for their economic growth and well-being, so the idea that China is itching to start a hot war with the U.S. is rather laughable, at least for the near future. Remember, it's always b

You lost me at "...XSLT + XSL stylesheet..." I've had at least 2 experiences with that particular tech, and I found it horribly over-engineered and a total PITA to work with. On top of that, I still can't figure out exac

It probably as simple as it helps your chance of getting laid a small bit by being the archetypal "rebel" as the opposite sex like a vicarious thrill.

I took DiffEQs (the only 5-credit course offered, which I thought rather odd), of course, on my way to my CP degree at FIT in central Florida, and the one thing I remember was that they turn out to be very useful in biological simulations

I think the actual answer is "because it can"...it's really that simple. Supply and demand dicate how much colleges can charge students, nothing else. If schools can charge $30k/year, and fill up the classrooms, why w

As a day trader for about 5 years, I could (and did) almost perfectly guess the price runups after breakouts, and knew 20k was sell time...it was a super easy chart to read in fact. All the moves were textbook.

Social highly-if-not-totally weights appearance over almost all other forms of human interactions. In my experience, photos get about 10x the likes of text-based posts. We can argue the exact amount, but we all must notice that pictures ge

In my experience by far the worse part of the totally racist and unfair US bail system is the fact that... ... if you can't bail out, you don't get any REAL credit for the time you have spent locked up when you finally go to court

So this is question I've wanted to ask for awhile. Is AWS Lambda really "serverless", or is the server part just buried so deep in the stack that the app devs can disregard it? And if it is truly "serverless", wha

How many times do you have to observe something before you accept it as fact. Post-modern philosophers will quite correctly argue that you can no very little about things just by observing them, and in fact can never get close to complete
