Hmm, there's a touch of contempt for the average user in what you say... something that causes this current trend towards over-simplification. Users love clear, systematic, repeatable, stable. Anyone using a shortcut often enough, give

Ha ha... but under the hood there's some utopia lingering. I've seen its exceptions and I figured it's made of some sort of auto-generated code translation of an Eclipse based think client. Reminds me of the bad old days of r

Well, Jira has an 80/20 problem: it tries to do the 20% that satisfies 80% of the users (cases.) so far so good, but when you trip over one of the details that make up the remaining 80% you're SOL. JIRA-1330 is my favorite :)

You're assuming the safeguard is not a startup nag screen asking whether you are a legally authorized user of the app. Something like those idiotic questionnaires you get to fill when flying to the USA

Apple's pro laptop design peak was the first Unibody. Just imagine what can get done with the volume: RAM, CPU and GPU wise. I'm a professional developer, I'm comfortable with my web routines but damn I'd love to have a

Why bother with a "pro" device at all, just get a chromebook and call it a day. Except there's a ton of premium stuff you can do more easily locally, and it's all stuff that hasn't been productized down to cheap web

The copy on the package says it only records when triggered, by a key phrase. There's nothing that prevents it to record and process differently on other "key phrases", or on receipt of a remote command

That's fascinating. Are you just speculating or is there some paperwork describing these findings?

I can imagine an optimizer that having analyzed and simplified the query plan notices that certain attributes bubble up all the wait to the final projection. Coupled with some statistics, it's entirely possible for a DBMS to maintain a

It's been standard practice in Italy since forever: I witnessed someone failing their exam while I was waiting for my turn to get my driving license. The idea is that looking behind also protects you from being smashed to a pulp by an

Yeah right: TINA, anything left of Reaganism is a rose-tinted delustional pinko socialist infantile temper tantrum. It's all about "poor life choices" and we need to "make whatever your country Great again". Why d

Seriously? I never imagined I'd see this slow-motion move towards the kind of bigotry and conservatism we're accustomed to blame theocracies of. Seriously, if "dog balls parens" and a metaphor involving "promiscuity

Wow, this article hits so close to what annoys me the most of the whole issue about access. But the comments about peer review are even more interesting, so I'm chiming in with the hope of finding some people willing to contribute :) F

And besides what you've already correctly noted, the theory of markets is just that, a theory. A very simplistic, idealized model that very quickly diverges from reality.

About the 10x difference in programmer productivity: it's a "leprechaun", a false myth emerged from misquoting of previous articles, poor review processes of the claims made and the generalized tendency to ape a scientific pr
