Because you are just used to the way how bash/zsh works and Powershell is superior to any of the shells mentioned. I am a "recent" powershell convert (started 1y ago) and this different paradigm feels now more natural than tr

I am not an economist but I suspect China's debt might not be such a big problem....until it is. But China is too big to fail and before it hits China hard the world will try to save what it can so it wont hit others as well. Ah the be

Which is not surprising is it. Canada is not the US even if the people speak the same language. You cant really talk about equivalent work if the settings are different for people and entire industries.

Nah. Amazon is the same "evil" as google. This would not make any difference. When the people get tired of apps and crappy software we will see a new re-packaged ideas executed better. But yeah it is incredibly hard to compete wit

People are designed to make mistakes. We should learn from them and try to be more understanding.

No it is absolutely fine to be enthusiastic about PLs. I enjoy reading about production ready Nim or Crystal apps :-)

by holydude 9y ago
Yes but the problem with languages like Nim is lack of support and maturity. Go is more versatile and at the same time more mature than anything out there. It is a different design and it excels in what it does (considering all tradeoffs no

Are you talking about ES5 or ES6 ? Because working with ES5 is anything but pleasant.

It's non sense the same way as "lets use js for everything yay". Use the right tool for the right job. Do not overthink it. Do not over-engineer. Be humble. Try. Learn from others and their mistakes. Do not jump on the hype w

> So, in terms from programming analogy, you need how your runtime operates, how it can affect neighbour processes/services, and what can you do when the runtime breaks down. This still does not affect how you structure your code (a

You are comparing apples to oranges (in my opinion of course). I would say it's often hardly about just "operating" the machine. You need to know how the machine works how it can affect other machines and what can you do if p

They are not superficial and they definitely change how you approach your environment. I have worked extensively with both CFEngine and Puppet and I can assure you that they have enough differences especially when you consider large heterog

That's correct but you can't learn all the nuances and specifics of every tool there is.

I do not know. We always had "DevOPS" aka sysadmin that knew C,perl and bunch of others. Then it became too much for a single person to know everything and we invented "more ops" and "more programmer". Now we h

The biggest problem I have with these companies is that they feel like a cult. And the people working there are doing a lot to keep that cult spirit alive. All of these companies want you too feel and act like they are the single best entit

Me neither besides I think there is not a room for "yet another Java/C#/Replacement". You need to offer much more now days to convince people to switch.

What makes you think they can do it better in terms of security? In my opinion it is a matter of costs and trying to solve a specific problem.

I do not have a problem with this. Whatever makes sense to make a profit. The only thing i detest about Uber is its aggressiveness and willingness to exploit every loophole they can find.

Many people commenting here say that github did not bring anything new to the game. While that is partially correct we know that bringing only new things does not matter. What matters is slick,seamless polishing of existing ideas and execut

The scary part is china's protectionism. Small nations and businesses have so little possibilities to operate in china without getting robbed of IP or being outcompeted by state supported domestic ventures. I fear the future of China b

No idea you might be right but I have no problem navigating in Ruby/Go/JavaScript ecosystems. While with MS I have the feeling they produce new tech and new names every week.

The only problem I have with MS's ecosystem is their love to have a lot of concepts and name for everything. I am literally lost and I do not know what .NET/<whatever> is what and how it is used. So is this just Xamarin repa
