Exactly this. Not just large software projects tend to fail often; also large architectural and infrastructure projects do. There are loads of examples, one famous one for instance is the Berlin Airport. Management is bad at managing large

Yes it looks like he does. And I don't see why not. The fact that their products become deprecated, gives even more incentive to manufacturers to want long term contracts.

I asked Gemini to solve today's Countle puzzle ( https://www.countle.org/ ). It got stuck while iterating randomly trying to find a solution. While I'm writing this it has been trying already for 5 minutes and the w

If you read the article, you'll see that these are not individual points, but sequential stages that the author went through while learning what it really takes to be social. So stage 1. was his first attempt, then he decided 2. worked

Same for me, the first 100 are doable, after that they take more and more time and require deeper mathematical knowledge. Which is nice as well, but at some point I started to wonder if it wouldn't be better if I spent all that time on

To me it seems that there's a contradiction in what the author is trying to say. On the one hand he's saying that for new grads like him, the job situation is getting worse and worse, because of AI. He's saying that AI, while

> One camp chases buzzwords .. the other common sense How is it common sense to try to re-implement Kafka in Posgres? You probably need something similar but more simple. Then implement that! But if you really need something like Kafka,

Advent comes from the Latin word adventus, which means “arrival” or “coming.” It refers to the coming of Christ. There is no 4 in the name, no 24, 25 or whatever else.

Yes I also think that bugs in a Rust replacement will receive more attention than other bugs. Why? - the cult-like evangelism from the Rust community that everything written in Rust would be better - the general notion, that rewriting tools

Well isn't Intel mostly alive by capital injections from the US government and NVidia nowadays? How much content did you expect from a straw puppet.

The amount of what-about-ism in this thread is amazing. No, large companies with semi-monopolies using their power to influence government organizations is not part of a free market either. But OP never claimed that it was. The whole point

I don't get why you're so upset. Zurich gardeners can still use leaf blowers when leaves are falling, which is between October and December. Only they need to be electric. The reason is not only environmental, also many people (in

Stating that Fortran is better for teaching numerical linear algebra is like stating that Latin is better for teaching medicine. Sure, it might be a better fit, but unless your students have all the time in the world, it doesn't seem v

Have you really been using Node or even Typescript as backend dev in fintech? After 15 years in fintech I have never heard anything like that. For the backend it's mostly Java with some sprinkles of C#, Cobol or Python.

I tried ocaml last year (I knew some Haskell and Scala already) and it was hell. The language itself was pretty, that's true. But the schism between Ocaml's stdlib and Jane Street's core lib was incredibly frustrating. I gues

Why is this news? Because it's so little? 10K will pay a developer for 2 months maybe ..

Your first 2 are good points. Your last point is of course not relevant when you're considering which language to pick for your new enterprise application. Anyways, IMO it would have been much more interesting and useful to compare Rus

by misja111 1y ago
Maybe. But at least these languages were meant for large applications so the outcome of the comparison would be more meaningful. Apart from that, Scala uses the Option type instead of null, and it has ADT's; And I dont know about C# bu

Come on, the author is comparing Rust to Typescript, Zig and Python, and then concludes that Rust becomes more productive in larger codebases compared to 'some other language'? Could it be that those 3 languages were not really de

I worked for them in the early 2000's. There was nothing wrong with the people working there, except for the two founders, a father and son. They were absolutely ruthless. And as so often, that ruthless mentality was what enabled them

I'm not sure if you're referring to the article, but that was about Ozone pollution. In most countries cars are already taxed, in Switzerland as well. The tax is proportional to the weight of the car, so it compensates for higher

Amazing, the article is 40 years old and still totally relevant today. And even more amazing is that many of today's IT managers seem unaware of its points.

Does anybody know where I can find a copy of the new report? I'd be interested to read what arguments they came up with.

This is true, for small projects, one-offs and prototypes AI is great, it will save you loads of time. However most paid jobs don't fall into this category.
