It may be an impression of mine, but it seems that such articles proposing a return to the simplicity are appearing more often here. I've just commented on another one questioning the nowadays richer front-ends. This article here reson

Agree 100% with the need to consider the project in question. I don't know the context of you guys, but at least in mine, I don't see such kind of planning very often. I'm currently involved with two projects. One is a youtub

It definitely applies to large projects as well. It's not just a matter of what developers think about writing more code. It's a bit more complicated economic decision involving how a significant amount of resources is going to be

If they faced issues in a one-week project, I ask myself what would have happened in a project big enough to speak to something

by myth2018 8y ago
The link exposes some underlying reasons which I think applies to bigger projects as well. Like the lack of libraries.

They expose some general reasons, like the lack of tested libraries, which are applicable to other projects in general. And regardless this, my point is not showing a rant against Lisp (I'm huge fan of it in fact). My point is simply t

Indeed. And reddit used Lisp, only to their regret after some time [0]. Such decisions are in fact not simply about languages in themselves. They revolve around languages, availability of libraries needed for the task in hand, community, av

The only part I tend to disagree with is regarding TDD. There is a study from Microsoft Research showing that TDD results in greater quality -- although you pay a price for it [0]. I believe this applies as a general rule, although I recogn

Then I've just found out I've worked on a 28 years old event source'd code base. In Clipper. An old loan management software, which had to control how installments changed along their lives. It worked well.

I ask myself some similar questions. I worked for a huge Brazilian ERP company. Three years ago the board decided that the company was not realizing its full potential (which I agree with) and decided to give Agile a try. Since then, some r

I finished the reading some months ago and highly recommend it as well. I had always been a fairly productive person on my work and academic activities, but always wanted to work on some more meaningful projects, and to build a company arou

Great article. Such case studies are way more significant contributions to software engineering as a field than the big pile of whitelabel/fanboy articles we see around highlighting advantages of some fancy stuff.

by myth2018 8y ago
Yes. Here in Brazil there are some competitions. It's a challenge indeed (portuguese), but not such a big one. In Esperanto there is a 1-1 relationship between letters and sounds by design, so a spelling bee wouldn't be a challeng

Those are very interesting theoretical points, but in practice nobody who actually speak the language complains about them. So, I don't know if they are relevant on a practical standpoint. One may demonstrate that Zamenhof overpromoted

Uhm.. I tend to disagree, I think this rant is not based on such elaborate and architected arguments. Are there some references about them? The criticism I usually hear is something in the lines of Esperanto has been defeated in the interna

I'm not aware of any controlled studies bringing evidence on this as well. But there seems to be lots of anecdotal evidence. One may argue that people who learn Esperanto are naturally inclined to language learning anyway, but what you

> A native English speaker could still pronounce a word and they would have very little idea how to write it, and therefore won't be able to look it up in a dictionary. Not by coincidence, in USA they have spelling challenges aired

Yeah, the article is a bit too long, I haven't gone through it yet but I intend to. But I disagree about a few points I've read so far. Esperanto case declinations consist basically of marking direct objects with an -n suffix. You

by myth2018 8y ago
Well, but probably most of the languages work this way, maybe all of them. English vocabulary resembles a pile of goods stolen from french, germanic languages and so on.

Chinese schools used to teach Esperanto during the 80's. I've asked some esperanto speakers about it and some of them say that Esperanto was seen as a bridge to learning English and other western languages, which are of course ver

As an amateur radio operator, I struggle very often with noise-related issues. Nice tech. I'm used to see digital processing applying in this field, but never thought about applying machine learning. Feeling curious about learning abou

There are a bunch of situations where the autopilot in fact turns itself off. For instance, when the sensors are providing faulty readings. And, coincidentally or not, the plane had had one of its sensors replaced a day or two before the cr
