Web development sucks precisely because we use a document markup language, a document styling language, and an interaction scripting language to build applications . It was bad enough when we just used this mess to make user interfaces .

Shouldn't that be "Plans B"? I believe "plan b" is a head first compound noun, and should pluralize like "hangers on", "mothers in law", or "attorneys general". But I could be wrong. T

This is why you need to have Senior and Principal engineering roles. As a programmer or operations engineer you should be able to choose between a management or engineering track for advancement. The managers work as an interface between t

Based on your comments, here are some things you might find interesting: Recent Perl versions have function signatures. Have you tried the Test2 test suite? It’s a tremendous improvement over the previous system. Type::Tiny is an amazing l

No need to assume malice, other human foibles like attribution bias and hubris nicely explain the horrific idea of calling your language/tool/project 'Observable'. I, for one, am irritated by the name and hope they eithe

Funny thing is, if you look at projects like AngularMaterial, they don't follow to the Angular styleguide by a country mile. The nice thing is that the automation tools are being made progressively easier to customize. That means that

If you worked on web software at that time, 50% of the work was making something that worked in every other browser, then the next 50% was making it work in IE6 without breaking everything else. The arrival of IE8, while it was less awful

Walla Wallas are better, IMHO. But I grew up in the Walla Walla Valley, so my tastes were probably influenced a bit. Here's an article that attempts to answer your question, and goes into great detail: https://www.oregonliv

For most things scanning works pretty poorly. IME, you are better off you use some calipers and a free to use tool like Fusion 360 or TinkerCAD, or a really free tool like OpenSCAD to generate the model.

Exactly. Here's an example of the type of law you are talking about. I live in a all party consent state, so if you want to record a conversation with me, legally, you need to have my consent. Some states are one party consent states.

Types as documentation is one of the things I like best about Perl6 types. Perl6 has the concept of a `subset` of a type. Let's say I want to write a function that takes a name which must be only one line of text, and a positive inte

The important thing is that Larry say language developers get lazy because of IDEs, not programmers using the language. A powerful IDE that automatically looks up documentation and guides you through writing a bunch of boilerplate lets

It's too bad Perl6's interesting approaches to concurrency aren't mentioned here. Supporting concurrency and parallelism were key points in the design of Perl6, and in the multi-paradigmatic way of Perl, it provides a variet

Kebab (or train) case (foo-bar) is actually really nice to type and easy enough to read once you get used to it. It's nicer than using underscores because you don't have to keep chording the shift and minus keys. As to mixing var

`rcvr` is clearly Resistor Capacitor Viewer. Duh. And clearly `rec` is Recovery. The Story of Bunny Showers: I worked on a code base where we had, in one class, seemingly endless variations on the spelling of "business hours".

Or Perl 5. `do_stuff() if $a->y();` is a common idiom. Or Perl 6. `do-stuff() if $a.y;` is the Perl6 version. You can even declare your variables to be sigil-less so you end up with `do-stuff() if a.y;` if you want. See my Perl6 Adve
