lots of weird and wonderful stuff in 1990, this covers some of the bleeding edge of programming in 1990 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcrmLfQx_to&t=30s

We have probably more complex pricing than what Tier seems to handle, but, it's only a handful of tables and not a significant amount of code to handle it all. I didn't think this was a terribly hard problem and a custom solution

I've been programming (and gaming) 40+ years now, and weirdly, the main RSI injury I have is actually from when I was a kid using the Atari joystick as a left hander (this one https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia&#x2

I used to work doing software for fruit sorting machines and we had a NIR Spectrometer to work out the sweetness of fruit, so when I'd go to actual sorting sites, especially in California which have these machines on a massive scale, I

yeah, I find it odd, just add up the revenue of the health insurance industry, that's how much you americans are paying, then see how much profit and overheads they have, that's how much health care money is directly not going to

No different than writing software to a releasable stage. Prototyping is a very important stage of building hardware, it's how you test, if you get yourself that far, you can get yourself to a production build. It does mean a bunch of

I've been coding 40+ years and I use it reasonably regularly, for things that are trivial time waster type stuff. Like I need some powershell command to automate something that I know will be automatable. Less so for coding, but I hav

No, it's not a human right. I think the only argument you need here is that tax payer funded research needs to be publicly available. If someone wants to do private research and sell the results to people via journals, then they shoul

Great effort, but really still needs a bunch of work. In some places the sentences just don't make sense. I think in terms of CPU, a good starting point is the Von Neumann architecture which most computers are designed around. The

I used to think that.... but actually, in practice, and I've been using them for a long time now, it doesn't make much difference, good tooling will generate the cases and help you find all instances pretty quick (I use Rider).

its because they are easy to do in C# without explicit support, but the proposal is still in the works, but they argue a lot about the syntax and about exhaustive type checking for all the edge cases.

For me, I stopped contributing just before the downfall and was in the top <0.1% . Basically, the mods wrecked the whole thing for me, they obliterated a lot of answers from multiple people that were really good. There is no way to ch

not new, and red is actually quite interesting compared to other languages, worth having a good look. Also, worth reading Paul Grahams "Blub Paradox" article from decades ago... http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html

To people where math (to some higher level) is kind of okish, this seems bad. But in my experience, most people coming out of school ( and I'm 50+ so going back decades now) don't really have a useful working knowledge of mathema

what's there to remember? NHibernate you basically use Linq, so if you remember Linq you remember NHbernate. The only extra bits are the setup and mappers, which are sort of trivial. The pain points come around because NHhibernate de

I found easymotion is a bit disjointed, but between sneak (a two letter motion similar to f such that you can do ; and , to go next or back) and /<search> I find I can get places very quickly

I really like sneak which is basically like f but with two letters, works really well.

I think you could probably get rid of the first sentence.
