> All claims of increased productivity are noise That's a far-fetched and overly broad statement. Just as the universally quantified "all users will have increased productivity" would be an invalid and overly broad stateme

Ethics is dependent on the context of what system or culture you are asking about. For example, medical or legal ethics, the ethics of modern American software developers living in an urban area in the US. Or London? So you can't say w

The problem is that as it progresses, that little extra range you get from hacking the aperture is going to eventually not be enough. So this might free you from reading glasses for even a few years, but eventually it will probably not be e

You should absolutely tell the recruiters as much as you can about how you disagree with the ethics of these publicly held wall-street run companies, and also capitalism in general. Embellish as much as possible. Mention unions, worker&#x27

The comments here and on the article itself both imply that flash is maybe a little less bad that the alternatives or that it isn't just the absolute worst. I does not escape me that this is 10-year old post. But - is it still the same

For an optimist, optimism. For a pessimist, neither.

Agree! I think the problem is twofold. First, it's not "low-code" or "no-code", it's high-level code vs. low-level code vs. non-traditional non-text-based code like labview. But it's still code, there&#x27

Way before QNX went shared/open source, they were as they are now. But they had just released Neutrino a major update which basically took their QNX4 microkernel and mated it with a POSIX/GNU/UNIX-like userland. And it was fo

I wholeheartedly agree. It's not hating on something to prefer a different style. I can see the appeal, for example, to kids or bohemian artists. Computer science and engineering doesn't have to be dull. But it can be fun and enga

Totally agree! While most of the author's points aren't so factually wrong, it's what he's missing that's the problem. I think the central problem all comes down to the word "ownership" - like a car, or a

A device with a security vulnerability and is still functional represents a quantifiable risk. But it provides value as well. It's a trade for the user to make as to whether the risk, which might or might not be severe or even applicab

why in the world would you pipe through grep to select certain lines and then use awk? You could just select lines with awk. The same could be said of cut. If you want to use grep and cut that's fine, but using grep and cut with awk im

This is rather wrong. Platform Framing is not a kind or variant of Balloon Framing, but rather is distinct and superseded it. Balloon framing only refers to framing where the wall studs traverse the full height of the structure. https:&#x2

Further lab analysis fails to pinpoint evidence of sandwich or actual subway or taste. Future expeditions are required and will attempt to locate any nutritional or gastronomic value.

Guilty, no. I mean, it's your employers and managers who should feel guilt. Worried? Maybe. Deliberately positioning oneself as a C- (bare minimum) performer might work OK in a time of plenty. What happens when your skills and enduranc

You don't need a standard for ad-hoc whiteboard diagrams or expositional figures. You're comparing apples and oranges because what you are talking about needing this level of precision in is more "blueprints", not ad-hoc

I wholeheartedly agree. UML never really lived, and I will say the reason is that it doesn't solve a problem that needs solving. It's supposed to be a universal (visual) language. Two problems, in the real world the way it was use

This all just amounts to character assassination. It's a witch hunt. 2nd and 3rd hand accusations. Accusations of assumed "intents" and assumed "beliefs". Demands to prove your innocence. Clear and obvious vendettas

maybe one should consider whether someone should be a board member based on his/her performance as a board member? Not what someone else assumes he/she might believe, based on a misquoted 2nd hand story about someone else's a
