Yes we would have run thru the forests of the world in record speed. Simply moved factories after trees until they're all gone. Railroads would have been running on wood until we ran out, ditto with steam ships. Electric wind turbines

Pretty much nonsense and just an attempted excuse for not doing any reforms in the US. Europe was much more popularized than the US during the cold war between the hard left and the hard right, a polarization that followed cold war ideologi

It never ceases to amaze me that people fail to see what is the real cause of dysfunction in your election system. It's the single member constituency. Also known as single member districts. This is what really ails your election sys

Let me be the contrarian to make the case for NOT writing a new kernel at all (no matter what language) Many a year ago (1997-2000) I was working on banking and finance software. I was a part of that breed of programmers that loath cobol an

most moves from mainframe to *nix, windows or others are a port of existing code to a new OS. NOT a complete rewrite.

If you read the article carefully you'll notice that most banks DO NOT maintain their own software! They licence the software, and usually the job of running the system, from a software house. The article is based on an intervjue of th

This guy got one. (Man take me back, used to have the HP drive on my first job in the 90's. (Sigh) The bad old days...) Maybe he'll take pity on you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEL8wnW5uvs

First revel in the fact that you actually get to choose :-) most programmers just get to play with a choice someone else made. First of all, are you going to be the product owner, or is this a consulting gig you're gonna walk away from
