It's an absolutely fantastic book... but you're asking someone to swallow that first chapter on Lambda Calculus. Maybe that's the best approach, but I can see it completely scaring off an entire class (or classes) of programm

When Oracle is forced, often Java is forced right along with it... Java means most will be using some sort of IDE instead of Vim (not always, but often) But I agree... if we're stuck using that beast of a database, it'd be nice to

I used to do all my docs in Adobe Framemaker. The output was amazing. The software itself felt a little obtuse, but seeing the printed pages was great.

Yep, I have a couple of family members who've done really well working for Coke throughout the years. The phrase, "they put the 'cult' in 'culture'" applies. I think it has done really well for them though

The latter part about not allowing their sellers to sell Chromecast is reprehensible, and I had no idea that was happening! Regarding DeWalt, Bosch, etc, I'd highly expect Kobalt to have better product placement (at Lowes). Is that fai

But are they using any tactics other than being cheaper and faster to ship? Their decision not to carry a Chromecast is sad, but, I was also unable to purchase one at radioshack.com. No one would accuse Radio Shack (do they even really exis

It will never be okay to give preferred treatment to those that use your framework. This basically is telling all other framework authors, "never mind, Google has decided the one that anyone that everyone will have to use (if they want

This mirrors apt from Debian and Debian-based linux distros. "update" simply updates the package index. "upgrade" can be used to upgrade installed packages.

This is my exact gripe. I appreciate that they've invested a serious amount of time and effort into creating an entire language for the JVM. But I am bummed about how tied it is to the IDE experience. Writing Go or Rust in Vim is relat

7.6% can be absolutely HUGE. I have to support Samsung "The Internet" version 2.1.... and that's about 1% of traffic. But the amount that that still brings in in a single month is enough to pay a developers yearly salary.

I think the issue is that it was trending that way. Comcast was purposely slowing certain traffic that competed with their own product. Many that remember trying to use Netflix around 2014, remember the 5pm nightmare. This lead to the discu
