Where is the ARM equivalent or put another way budget Linux Apple Mini competitor?

Compared to the simplicity of the decorator design pattern, I always found AOP libraries unnecessarily complicated and too implicit (magic.)

OTP is the means by which the programming language is able to accomplish tasks such as process to process comms, how to supervise actors etc. It's the enabler for the distributed computing compared to Erlang which is the programming la

Perhaps if you framed your question subtly differently and asked yourself what is the difference between Erlang and OTP, the answer maybe easier to discern?

The Web is where so much of the UI mindshare and skills are. Wondering if an OSS, vendor-neutral competitor for ChromeOS would lead to better Linux Desktop adoption? I still think Firefox OS could have been a precursor for that.

The notion of policing without consent feels so alien to me. As a UK citizen I used to take this for granted, but wonder if the social contract in the UK will be broken in favour of the US in the future. I hope not. I feel for the people of

Treat it like a software problem, start with the simplest thing that'll work and then introduce more complexity or features when you need them. Chances are you'll start with GH issues or a shared doc in a productivity suite and wh

I see Black Friday much like the DFS sales. Ignore sale prices and do your research. (Probably doesn’t make much sense outside the U.K.)

Another Cornishman here (Par). The financial destitution and how much harder they have to work for the same things I do in the South East is unsustainable. Cornwall has Luther to the right politically and that’s because there’s been some us

Denmark has a low population with a low infection rate. They can afford to wait for alternative vaccines. The same action in other countries could be a disaster.

Controversial and presented rather flippantly but there is a valid point behind this remark in my view.

That'd be quite the can of worms too? Access the the sea from South West Israel is via Gaza...

I recall writing CGI scripts in perl. I met some guys are work that used C and I was shocked. But not as shocked as my boss. It took them so long to deliver applications compared to cranking out perl.

What must it be like to lark about like so without fear of repercussion or judgment.

Doesn't seem like a lot of money. Shame somebody didn't buy it and shutter it. Less guns in the world is better for everyone.

Reminds me of Dan Appleman’s VB Win32 API book from ~20 years ago.

You can’t. You won’t. Don’t stress out trying. Minimise what you send. Use alternatives where you can. You won’t persuade 60 parents in your kids classes what’s app group to switch over. They’ll all have FB already and frankly don’t care, w

Around 2000 we did this in the first week of university along side C. The number of people who changed courses to more analysis or business focused degrees was high. Of course it was deliberate. We barely touched Assembly again unless you o

Yes. I reconfigured the creds and grants so it wasn't possible to repeat the mistake. The lesson learned was about isolation and diligence.

Here is a screw-up/near miss share. I was migrating a pensions service to a cloud vendor. Part of this involved a very large ETL. Practice makes perfect and we ran the custom process regularly to ensure I'd go smoothly on the big

Swift on the server? Swimming against the tide? Or expressive language, ideal for writing information systems and backed by Apple with the fantastic LLVM tool chain at your disposal?

Sadly user management is crap domain for demonstrating Event Sourcing. Equally building an entire system as Event Sourced is daft. Some aggregates ought to be Event Sourced nominally I’d say models that exhibit temporal properties like a bu

I'm petrified of such an event. It's why I fantasise how I may survive, because I know I wouldn't!

First thing I thought? If I can survive long enough we can still communicate in a zombie apocalypse! (Yes, I'm still persevering with The Walking Dead after 10 seasons)
