   XML interfaces are common in toolkits, look at Guile for GTK or Qt Quick/QML. One of the ancient X window toolkits was the Athena widget set (baked in most X servers, https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc&#x2

   I find the point-free function composition style so much more elegant then lambda functions. I acknowledge lambda functions are easier to read and work basically the same way in most contemporary multi-paradigm programming languages.

   Good old POD https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod Perl is a particular example for a 90s language with a brilliant documentation. That's worth so much.

   Modern Fortran has a number of attractive features. Parallel programming (Co-arrays) is another gem of recent Fortran versions. Concise syntax conforming with traditional numerics makes it still a good domain specific language of choice. In

   This reminds me on some weird linux/mac/unix tool people used in a project. It changed the PATH (or more generally the ENV) based on the current working directory, so they could easily manipulate the developers shell from the proj

   Since vom and emacs were already proposed, there is a third classic in this round: Shell programming. Typically you have $EDITOR env set (to something like nano, vim, emacs, gedit, kwrite, etc) and then can include it in your script as in

   Another nice addition would have been debuggers such as gdb -p PID to hook into the running code, see for instance https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2308653/can-i-use-gdb-to...

   The article talks about offices but most of the pictures show data centers. As nobody (except administration, IT personal or "operators", how they where called back then) is working in data center today, most folks did not work th

    I think it works the following: Assuming the proxy has a different IP pointing to it's client, by inserting the IP it uses to connect to the original server into the HTTP reply (HTML/body code), it can be exposed to the OP. Howeve

    Depending on your country, freelancing next to the day-job may be an option to testing "the new job" without giving up the security/benefits of an employment (for instance an affordable employer's contributed health care

    Here is a link to a page actually explaining clamp() - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/clamp - somehow the article at smashing magazine lacks to do so or I did not properly read it.

    To be fair, when XML was cool, XSL did a good job in carrying out templating-language-like-features. Use case was like: Write semantic XML document, use XSL to generate XHTML, render XHTML in browser. Modern browsers still run XML with XSL.

    Could not agree more. Sure, full stack JS might be nice and fancy but sometimes good old web technologies do the job.

    To be honest, this site at Firefox/Android is slow and buggy. I would prefer quick loading times of plain old HTML files over plain old HTML, but I acknowledge that this is not sexy.

    Obviously the word " anything that you can achieve ..." in your quote is an exaggeration. It is quite obvious that fintech wants to simplify the banking process to basic daily procedures most of the people need (like money transf

    Nice page. I guess the actual numbers are way worse: For instance, in Germany ~34kEUR is the median gross income. The country has quite a high ratio on income tax and social insurance, making the net income typically in a regime of 30-60%

    Just one data point from Germany: The legal situation currently makes it illegal to use arbitrary lightning signals in motorized traffic. This has many clear reasons, such as reducing stress and distraction and reserving blue warning lights

    I think the authors adress all your points in the paper. They both say about needs for resolution in particular applications as well as their plans to replace jumper wires by something on a chip, and they say how going to chip will decrease

    As a person, you can also opt in for carrying out a job in fusion research (=academia) or fusion industry. In case you are a software developer (as many of us here on hacker news), your skills are wanted badly both in academia as well as in
