Using your definition I would argue that VBScript, Ceylon and CoffeeScript are also dead. Perl is seeing a strong decline and I think it will join the dead group in a few decades.

Exactly what I thought. It's much easier for a country to retire an engineer with a fat paycheck than to create an incredible amount of distrust killing him. An assassination only makes sense if somehow he threatened to tell everything

I have the impression that people nowadays are completely infantilized. They will believe anything that supports their worldview and be heavily skeptical of whatever hurts their sensibilities. It's not even to the point of communicatio

I think you're downplaying the level of difficulty of building an ICBM from scratch(I'm assuming it would be from scratch).

Is bitcoin still a thing? Is the fad over already? Has anyone found any use for it except making money exploiting people's greed with the promise that you will get rich just buying a digital token?

If you ask people who come here, probably most of them would choose a technical over a managerial position, but I talk about the general population, of course. Being someone who coordinates the work of other people is much more amenable to

I already worked for companies where there were management changes at a crazy pace, I'm not sure that all of them got promoted and I have the impression that some of them might have been fired as well. I don't want to start a flam

The article cleverly groups the budget in three categories: - A first one that develops a product that creates a value for the company in the present(sales/marketing). - A second one that develops a product that will possibly create va

It sounds pretty nice but also exhausting to be honest, I don't think a lot of people would be able to have that lifestyle.

I think most people here nailed it. School has become a place where children stay so that their parents can work. While there is nothing inherently bad about trying to solve two problems with only one solution, for the specific case of the

The existence of Linux and the abusive practices of Microsoft are a kind of daily reminder about why competition is so important even for basic, fundamental technologies like operational systems. If Linux weren't always behind the door

Then you will see 1001 theories about why the population is declining. People in their 30's can't afford a house, let alone raising a family. A whole population inside a certain age group seems completely unable to grasp this basi

For me it's quite obvious that if you make a profit from an engine that has as an input copyrighted material, then you owe something to the owner of this copyrighted content. We have seen this same problem with artists claiming stable

Correct. But now there is another complication to an eventual reemergence of ruby on rails: the competition defeated the initial comparative advantage - i.e. the simplicity - of the RoR platform. The premises that justified RoR in the past

I worked with ruby, ruby in rails(RoR) more specifically, a bit more than ten years ago(2011-2013). At that time it was already the afterglow of RoR, the framework for web development that had come to life in 2005 and raged between 2007 and

It's clearly not the same thing. It doesn't even matter to be quite honest. It doesn't change the fact that you're using other people's work as an input for your commercial algorithm that makes money for you. This b
