Wow, when I read Terry's name I could immediately hear her voice. But for the life of me I can't imagine what she looks like. But for Serge & Larry, I can't imagine what they sound like at all, though I "see" their faces.

Yes, it's a much simpler solution. But it's an "optimization" in the sense that one has to work extra hard to avoid the ubiquity & tooling of SQL. Expanding effort to achieve better performance (whether true or perceived) is what is mos

RESTAS is written by someone who knows both Lisp and the web really well. It's a good sign when a developer resists the urge to invent a new templating syntax (specially a lisper, come'on) and chooses to use a boring semi-standard, like G

Not everyone indifferent to immortality is "young". Some of us actually appreciate being a life form, expiration date and all. To live long/forever is to halt evolution. I'm more than happy to take my shot at life, live my 8 decades, then g

What is an "expression language"? I just started doing Java EE crap and there is an assortment of "ELs" that you can embed in your java apps. Outside of Java, an "expression language" doesn't make any sense to me. An expression, statement,
