Fair enough. This occurs roughly once in two months when I least expect it. But the point is that with just a bit more attention to detail, they could have made this process utterly unobtrusive: don't process more than once file per second,

Can you expand on "weak scoping rules"? If anything, I thought Tcl's scoping rules were too strict. E.g., global and namespace variables are not automatically available in functions, unless you import it explicitly.

I think they get to track all pages you visit, time spent per page, which parts of the page are in the viewport, for how long, where on the page you click, etc. Not just a stream of what Google pages you visit.

Thanks for answering. I really appreciate it. I thought the "keep skill sharp, network, deliver the goods" advice was just BS. But it seems to be good. Yes, I did notice in almost all profiles in news articles of the older unemployed people

First off, it's good to hear that I might be wrong. But. The discussion here is about the general trend in the industry; nobody disputes that there are companies like Google (and probably Microsoft, Intel) which value experience and experti

I think you're being too quick to dismiss the article because of your Google experience. Google may be one of the few enlightened companies which doesn't think this way. Life being risky if you're over 35 is a regular topic of conversation

Most people like that use Perforce (e.g., Google). And no, they don't split into multiple repos, they might well have the entire company's source code in a single repository (code sharing is way easier this way).

Also check out Activetick (no relationship with them) for a few months. It works on all platforms. They even had an example program that made their API accessible via HTTP. I got away just with that. I compared their data with another feed

This IS today's version of the BBC Micro. AFAIK, the BBC Micro was a cheap design to encourage computer education since regular PCs were very expensive. I too cut my teeth on a BBC Micro. My school had ~20 of them. If they'd bought PCs, t

Umm, I think your comment exhibits exactly the attitude I was arguing against. I'm not smart enough to argue conclusively why one should care about what happens after one's death, but this greek proverb moved me a lot. A society grows

+1 for tmux. I still have two pet peeves with tmux. Nicholas (maintainer of tmux), if you're reading this ... :) All in all, tmux is one of the greatest programs ever. Even when working locally, I prefer to work within a tmux session. I've

I've also had good success hacking a bare-bones routing infrastructure on top of mongoose, a single-file threaded HTTP/HTTPS server. I've had to read or step through the code a few times. It wasn't too painful. I like Mongoose. :) http://c

I did something similar for a recent project. My backend basically only provides an HTTP API. All rendering is client-side. It felt natural as a programmer to develop the backend as a "library" that was "called" by the client side. Immmmmen
