"-Not-invented-here syndrome" The counter to this is dependency hell. I oft times see developers pulling in large, new and compiled dependencies into Python projects for a single pieced of functionality just to avoid being accused

It is worth noting that when something goes viral we still don't know why. Facebook represents the ultimate in viral success. Given we do not understand why things go viral then it stands to reason that the underlying software methodol

A practical definition of Turing complete is any language that can exercise the full capabilities of the computer. Given any two languages can do so then they are in fact, interchangeable.

"That's because no one even knows how to start doing "science" in this direction." No true, there is an entire field of usability science. It is all still limited to experimental learnings as opposed to theoretical

Functional programming is inscrutable by most. Berkeley uses LISP as a flunk out class to weed out freshman. I find it odd that given in the physical world people require different shoe sizes for different feet that in the intellectual worl

Coding software needs to catch up with usability testing of presenting software. The dynamics are equivalent. In usability theory there is no one practice for all domains. In fact, usability theory completely embraces marketing where brandi

In the 1990s I did research on the efficacy claims of object oriented programming versus procedural programming. This article bares a striking resemblance in the claims. Case study after case study showed that object oriented code had less

No processes. No hangouts. No index service started without asking. Chrome on Windows is a pig. Back when I was using it then nonstop then 25% of CPU usage was pegged to Chrome. I gave up trying to manage Chrome and switched to Firefox. Rec

Another way of saying this is it is not science. Usability needs to be applied to more than just the end user experience: but the entire SDLC experience.

I'm a software generalist. Fortune did a study once that where the discovered the average person has three different careers. My first was in sales, before the age of 28. Second was in manufacturing logistics working in a warehouse and

Usability matters. Functional versus procedural programming is first and foremost a usability problem for developers. The two are interchangeable as far as being Turing complete. I just spent a week at a Jakolb Nielson's education cour

UC Berkeley's approach to teaching computer science I believe is the correct approach. 1. In CS150 one has to build a hardware computer. 2. In another class one has to build an OS. 3. In another class one has to build a Database. 4.

Wisdom is the product of knowledge and knowledge is often times the product of foolish mistakes. A butterfly flaps its wings in Africa and changes the weather in California. Unknowns is the one word answer to your question. You have your kn
