Hm...sounds plausible from a physics POV, but maybe there's something else? Since, in practice (at least as far as I can speak from experience), old-school ferrit 15" speakers are ~7-8kgs, while you can get similarly specced neody

Please. With all due respect towards Smalltalk and all the pioneering work it did, stop it with the Refactoring Browser as a shining example for automated refactoring. No, it really can't, not with the correctness guarantees of a stati

Great story. And now do the comparison with airlines, for example. Or is "safety" as an argument fine there?

"Sandboxing is fine. It should be up to the user what we decide to sandbox and what not." True - but isn't the latter exactly the problem we're facing? That we increasingly don't get to decide whether we want that

We've had taxi apps (like mytaxi and taxi.eu) long before Uber started in Europe. This really isn't anything new.

Of course - I was actually surprised it still worked in VS2015. I don't expect it to be forwards compatible. (Hell, we're talking about tech that only runs in IE11 :) ) But one big difference is: Official support means updates in

Same here - this quote sums it up quite well: We built on top of ASP.NET Core because of the option to use it with netfx, and we built things which were intended to last 5-10 years, not for 1 year of support max. This is what the ASP.NET n

The big error being made in this article (and most of the comments here) is the assumption that the purpose of unit tests is to "catch bugs." More like "in countless articles, comments, talks and projects over, say, the las

Hmm...true 100% input coverage? Including the time domain? (Order dependency, Idempotence, etc...) :)

In practice, testing _all_ possible inputs is usually not a feasible goal, and often downright impossible (since it would mean solving the halting problem). While there are some languages and problem domains where formal verification met

You're on to something here - physics vs math as a demarcation line is actually a thing: German patent law for example has had the term "Technizität" as a neccessary property for a patent to be valid. https://de.wi
