True however this doesn't appear to track "reads" (unless I'm overlooking something?).

Yes it was a nicely worded email but without a file-level log of what was accessed and when it's hard to know if you need to worry about this or not.

My favorite line - And I certainly don't want to be sued for maintenance by an abandoned software development project. ...let's all hope it never comes to that!

I don't disagree with you, but this reminds me of the anti-seatbelt arguments from automakers before the law required them.

I think you're missing the point (or I'm inferring it incorrectly), that, put simply, there is a cost associated with implementing the security measure (both to build it and the inconvenience to customers) which in some cases outweighs the

I liked being able to think of an idea, sketch out a schema and have it up in (admittedly ugly) webpages in a matter of minutes...and on almost any machine in just the time it took to download the package (no crazy dependencies, etc.). The

Right or wrong, I'm looking forward to whatever fills the spot that Rails left behind. It was a pleasure to work with a few years back and I miss that. If you've seen something that fits the bill, please pass it on.

Being forced to sigh up to some developer site bug tracking system, and then getting sent email after email notifying you of every status update. Of course, I also have to search around for how to contact this particular developer with a b

You could restrict the beta to developers who have actually shipped an application (that wouldn't prevent them from installing it on their "friends" devices, although this could probably be audited). I guess this could be a problem for deve

There's another argument against municipal internet, but it's one that opponents REALLY don't want to state. Specifically, they're horrified by the very IDEA that data could be treated like a basic utility on par with gas, water, electrici

I would love to hear a rational explanation of this from someone who supports the bill.

Code review might serve the same purpose (depending on how you do it) but I've had a hard time getting organizations to "buy in" to code reviews for various reasons (fear, pride, cost, etc.). On the other hand having the Architect act as ed

I'd also like to say that while you may not enjoy programming in assembly that doesn't make it a bad thing. Programming assembly is actually fun (for some of us) and gives you a level of intimacy and insight into the machine that no other

I don't think they are saying that you and I (application developers) should be writing assembly (they mention C/C++, and refer to C++ libraries elsewhere), unless we want to. What they do emphasize is that the operating system was writte

There's probably little need for the overhead associated with other filesystems (security, multi-user support, crash recovery, etc.). Personally I would have preferred a custom filesystem designed for the application but I can see the conve

I don't understand why this reasoning is inappropriate for the application (HPC). If they were suggesting this as a way to develop massive enterprise applications with vast compatibility requirements and rapid application development needs
