Looks like this is mostly Ring + Hiccup (< https://github.com/coast-framework/coast/blob/master/deps.ed... >) with a DB connection pool.

Past purchases don't buy future books, true. George is a free human not a slave to our desire for _content_, also true. But I also understand fan frustration. When Gaiman wrote that, "A Game of Thrones" was already 15 years i

Passenger service system. It's the one that handles reservations and (usually) checkin.

I worked with someone in the mobile games industry that called them "stimulators" and "Skinner boxes".

Such training programs are often part of a settlement or judgement against a company that transgressed. The guilty individuals are long gone, but everyone after them has to take a mandatory ethics/antitrust/anticorruption/sen

I was wondering the same thing. Something like the Linux kernel gets built and rebuilt constantly by build systems and users all over the world. Even marginal improvements in build cost become big when there's such a large multiplier.

Too many acronyms. :-) JNDI was the "Java Naming and Directory Interface", part of the suite of CORBA-like Java-only distributed object tooling. My guess is that the "lookups" feature in log4j assumed that all URL protoc

Why on earth does this demand to be installed as an extension in Chrome just to do a search? What is the driving factor behind that decision if they don't track your data?

It's not satire? I thought the author was deliberately constructing The Matrix one element at a time.

In my area, I have one option for fuel without ads. That's a place that has old analog pumps that still ding when the gallon dial rolls over. Obviously there's no pay at the pump. If that store goes under or decides to modernize,

Bear in mind that the blog is about a specific book titled "Software Engineering at Google." It's not an attempt to survey all of SE, and that explains why it refers to Google... because the book is specifically about SE _at_

Indeed, I could imagine it becoming more difficult to adopt a language that doesn't already have a large corpus to train on.

If the same practice was applied with physical goods, it would be a clear bait-and-switch. (And therefore illegal.)

This is another great example of the benefits of just rolling up your sleeves and doing the hard work one task at a time. Don't get me wrong. I love high leverage solutions. But sometimes you just have to grind it out.

Exactly right. Trust and goodwill is enough to get me to consider a service, not enough to sign up. Also, data outlives management regimes. Eventually, any data set that can be used will be used.

Not trying to peddle cheap skepticism here. This article only looks at "seen" costs, and assumes that there are no "unseen" costs to running on-prem. Many companies do not have the operational maturity to run on-prem wel

Congrats on the launch of your product! It's damn impressive.

Not to mention they've had money flowing like water. When you don't have to worry about being financially efficient a lot of management structures and unstructures seem like they "work". It's when the money dries up

> programmers use “die” to mean “decline in relative marketshare”, not absolute marketshare. Lots of thot leaders bemoan how few devs understand really low-level systems anymore, but there are more kernel hackers in total than there were

Thank you! I knew I'd read a novel with this premise but could not recall the name.

"Scrolling media" is pretty good. It sounds enough like the existing term to catch on.

Sadly, the commercial tools are also kind of a shitshow. We've got one (very expensive one) that emits risk reports with "high" rating where the message is clearly a programmer saying "not implemented yet." Oh, and

I'm looking forward to learning about how Rust makes this kind of bug impossible.

Speaking as someone working at Sabre, I can say that this language has no connection with this company.

Could go the same path as Brave: be a conduit for funding between consumer (me) and creator... then take a small percentage for facilitating the transactions.
