Velocity is only measured by the value you introduce. Incorrect code decreases value.

You might want to have a look at Voxatron[1], the 3D version of Pico-8, that you get as a bonus when you buy a license of Pico-8. [1]: https://www.lexaloffle.com/voxatron.php

Without a blink, McAfee. This abomination has the ability to put more than decent computer into a miserable slug. I cannot imagine how much my client would have saved in productivity from all its employees and contractors if that thing was

HTML is not a programming language, it's a markup language. And SQL is Turing complete.

That's more subtle, as individual anonymized data point can not identify an individual, but a linked set of those can, with a very high percentage of confidence. Facebook can always play the card that each data point are anonymous, he

Is it just me or does this recommendation reads more like a medium blog post from some developer advocate than like a formal specification ?

P5 is indeed the official port of Processing for Java (Processing.js being an independent attempt from John Resig). But like Processing, P5 is more about artistic realisations than applied use, which all of your alternate descriptions tend

The only, and still unmatched, advantage of using applets was having access to external devices, such as smart card readers, in order to be used with eID, for example. This is not possible with this plugin. The only interest would be for s

Const exists too, but for compile-time constant. Var and val are ok due to the general conciseness of the language (they don't get lost in the noise of other ceremonies). Plus, being a language though to benefit from strong tooling, ID

I don't know... Jenkins? I mean, it is battle tested, has all the features you mention, plus pipeline of tasks, is extensible, can be clustered if needed, and, as a bonus, can serve as a CI as well. The only downside I see could be the

Thing is, by the time you have to take back this application for maintenance, chances are high that the then mainstream framework will be outdated, newcomers won't even know it, the doc will have vanished in a poor "let's mov

No, they don't. Behind the scene, it's Lucene that is creating a set of inverted indexes. While extremely performant for text search, it is also destructive and partial comparing to the initial dataset. So, there is no way to migr

Going that direction, one could argue that what you open source might not be what you are running in production.

by gizmogwai 12y ago
Uh. Do you mean that, because a project is open source it has to limit itself to the lowest common denominator (not targeting git specifically here) rather than aspire to a better/more suited toolchain that its community believe in? An

In git, when you rewrite your history, the old version is gone (well, you still have the revlog for 30 days, but then it's basically over). This is why some commands like `git push --force`after a rebase can cause so much hassle to a c

Again, wrong. Encoding without proper context means "convert in a coded form". Hum that's not exactly what we want. So, let's add the "computing context", now we have, as an example, the ability to encode a WAV

This whole post is ridiculous. The problem he poorly tries to described has been solved by mathematicians a few millenniums ago. In a single word: CONTEXT. A word is nothing if not bound by a context. Developers have already developed part

flywaydb is not even as good as pure SQL scripts. It is mainly designed to be a forward-only tool. I honestly doubt anyone with some database background would recommend it.
24.
by gizmogwai 13y ago
I do use it. Primarily because it more widespread in the Java world than other competitors,and more easy, in the syntax, to start with. You might also be interested in DB-Main [0] But database migration has little to do with version control

Ok. So I did give it a try, and it was the worst 3 hours I could spend with a mail client before asking for a refund. I tried it both with a GMail and a classical IMAP accounts. Both were a total disaster. Two years of development for THAT?

From my personal experience, I disagree. I have seen a greater percentage of poor codes in languages that a lower entry barrier than those that require more initial investment. Most poor coders I've met are lazy coders (in the wrong si

Command names are closer to SVN/CVS ones, which lower the learning curve for similar concepts. The documentation really is at another level of didactic compare to git, and no, pro-git is not enough neither. Changes are tracked automati
