Quite similar is Darwin and Wallace presenting their evolutionary theories together. Darwin had been working on his for much longer, but spurred by the possibility of losing priority, he presented Origin of Species as a book rather than wai

I agree with your point 3. This is more like a DSL for Gantt charts, a bit like what PlantUML is for s/w diagrams. It's very useful for that, don't get me wrong. But associating it with Markdown is a stretch.

What is in your list of acceptable languages, and what is your list of unnecessary languages? Is date of creation a factor? Because D was created last century.

I don't know about this one, but a single rotation of the turbines recently installed in the North Sea can generate enough electricity to power an average family home for a day.

I doubt anyone would run a Kafka cluster that spans multiple regions. Stretch clusters and clusters with brokers in different AZs are absolutely a thing in Kafka. I make no comment on the ease relative to Nats, which I don't know at

AMQP & MQTT are messaging protocols. You would need protocol handlers either end with this in the middle. Having said that, you would need to match the protocol to the interaction style. Not all are appropriate.

Author spends a lot of time complaining about Design Thinking, and worrying about it "infecting" education, but he doesn't actually say what is wrong with it. He quotes a few woolly phrases that look like the introductory sen

I think most people understand that "no Javascript" applies to the client. You can't exactly write a backend in pure HTML.

This headline is definitely not correct - the actual heajne should be "some reports of free tier users being locked out of their netlify support". The headline is exactly correct. There is no editorialising at all. Additionally,

That's really what Clojure is, except based on the JVM, with access to the Java stdlib.

Here's a similar story from 1974, from the opera world, about an audience member finishing off a performance of Carmina Burana at the Proms after baritone Thomas Allen fainted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJAdGvFNnc

From the electrical engineering perspective, the earliest relay and vacuum tube computers were built out of elements developed for radio and telephone exchanges. Indeed. A "main frame" was originally the housing used for the rel

Apologies replying to myself, but Netty, which underpins many of the popular Java backend frameworks, see backward compatibility as more important than supporting green threads. https://github.com/netty/netty/issue

"The Man Who Never Was" is a great film about this episode. It adds quite a few "embellishments", including dealing with a German spy sent to London to verify William Martin, and his encounter with the MI5 clerk posing a

IIRC, Petri Nets were invented by Carl Petri at the age of 13 to model chemical reactions. It would be something if this platform uses them under the covers!

K8s is complicated if you go digging around in the guts. But using a managed offering is barely more complicated than docker compose.

I appreciate the intent, but man is this like a minefield waiting to be walked over. Anyone who looks at the code will scratch their head and will not understand what is going on. An annotation would perhaps make it clearer. That is the g

I think the idea of being trapped in a confined space kilometers under the sea has a visceral effect on the imagination that a boat voyage on the surface doesn't, regardless of how tragic the outcome is in both events. It pokes and pro
