I think it boils down to what people deem "reasonably reliable" for such starting situations or whether that's a requirement in the first place. Related to whether it's better/required to structure your software as

That's quite early to go Kubernetes cluster. (I'm reminded of the old "does it run Beowulf" meme)

I don't know about any special rules for marriage licenses, but for inks there's DIN/ISO 12757-2. Search for "Dokumentenechtheit". It's not that exotic, though. It gets a bit weird for printers. Laser and dot-m

I downloaded the tailwind-jit repository, and after a good coffee break and "npm install", it's 120 megs. But I'm not that worried, give it a few cycles and we get esbuild for tailwind, which should bring it down to a si

Historically speaking Go would qualify as being descended from Oberon, philosophically none of the current crop of languages would qualify, most of them being too complex and brining in elements Wirth wasn't too fond of (like most of F

Back when I started uni, they had a whole room full of old Apollo Domain/OS machines. I think they were previously used for CAD or some EE stuff, but even than (late 90s) pretty much only used for people to do their email (pine, mostly

Is "Powerkit" some common term I'm missing here? At first I thought this was related to some kind of Apple "Kit", written in straight C instead of Objective-C/Swift.

My version? That's a one-liner, one shouldn't maintain those. It was mainly intended to show that a lot of the logic for simple cases is so common that perl (and some other languages) have those as command line switches. That also

I know this is meant as a joke, but I just use this to once again note that Perl actually had a very common linter/pretty printer way before it became all the rage (perltidy/perlcritic). I also wish other languages had a book like

Would perl -lane '$c{lc $_}++ for @F;END{print "$_ $c{$_}" for sort {$c{$b}<=>$c{$a}||$a cmp $b} keys %c}' < input.txt work?

TP became popular before it had units, IIRC. It was small, fast and, well, available.

Yeah, but it didn't have braces, so it never stood a chance /s Meyer's book where pretty highly ranked in the canon of OOD, so at least a few people knew the language from there. But similar things could be said about Smallta

Yup, and it was built in an interesting way, if I remember correctly. Using the continuation-based Smalltalk Seaside framework.

Yes, they got it certified with 10.5, I think. Small market these days, although I'm always surprised when I hear that both AIX and HP-UX are still receiving updates...

I don't mind TypeScript as a language that much these days. I mean, Java basically won and we're programming in it, no matter whether the files end in .java, .php, .cs or .ts, what matters is the UbiquitousDomainLanguageTermInject

First time I heard docker as a prerequisite to TeX usage. Cross-platform comprehensive LaTeX distributions have been there since at least the mid-90s. And the ecosystem actually is quite good these days. You always had pretty good editor su

I don't have a deep personal affectation for WordStar, although I do appreciate it's keyboard layout, but what I do miss is writers having opinions about these things. These days it seems that it's mostly "whatever v

With those two as the examples, I'd definitely agree with that. I'd regard both as frontend frameworks and I've never heard Next described as a SSG, though, but Gatsby seems to be used as such by fans of reckless overengineer

Isn't that a bit like saying that people who want small web pages wouldn't want to use hugo, as it's a 60 megabyte binary?

In a way, they themselves started becoming a manufacturer of "IBM compatibles", they just locked their OS to them. A Jobs-less alternate Apple universe might've been interesting though. He both canned the licensed Apple clone

People, for some kind of reason, really like their laptops. They also have more brand recognition, thus the "bragging right" part, when you get your new X1/Macbook every 2 years. And if you still work on your laptop but have

I think it still has the astounding multitude of bevels and frames that XForms has. Just like you could spot Tk apps by the bisque color, you could spot XForms by programmers putting all the frames into one single dialog window.

Nothing else ever had the PC. And IBM wasn't too happy that it happened to them, either.

For a regular user, probably not. Contemporary dev work with spurious containerization on the other hand… Maybe some companies should give their employees two systems. Your average way too expensive bragging rights laptop, and a smaller old
