So my gut feeling to stay with HTML 4.01 and use the new cool javascript features is perfectly sane?

I think you are on to something. Maybe the ability to code with flow is also a major factor to liking a language and the task it is used for. To sit in an uninterrupted "Aha! I fix!"-loop with the feeling that there is progress and one get

Me too. I find that a quite cool language is hidden in Java. It is just that everyone is trying their best to make programs as annoying and soul sucking as possible with it. Unit testing and a dependency-injection framework like google gui

I wonder if there is any language that a corporate environment could not make to suck.

Did you watch the recent TED movie about the effectiveness of rewards? When you reward yourself, is it for finishing creative tasks, or tasks that you just need to apply grit to? This is something I have been wondering about myself when it

This reminds me of the "Shut Up and Code!"-argument when it comes to comparing programming language features.

Without openid or similar federated login a downside is that people are reluctant to register.

Don't you get some serious problem with quantum mechanical effects when you have such thin line widths? Is it physically possible to reach 4 nm with current computer architecture?

Anyone have an explanation why that is so? I mean it is one thing to blame the banks, but new banks could start with better technology usage. Customers don't want it? Companies billing people don't want it? It seems like there is some kind

Isn't that one simply that BDD is about testing the functionality independent of how it is implemented, making BDD good for acceptance tests. And TDD is more about testing parts of an implementation to see that it does the right thing to im

This is a very interesting read with regard to unit testing. I'll have to read it again a few times more so I don't miss out on any good conclusions.

I think it could be useful for a reverse proxy when talking with the backends. SCTP would be contained to your LAN traffic so adoption on the open internet & firewalls is a non-issue, and you get some benefits from avoiding head of line

The title doesn't match the point of the question very well. "How many technologies out there are well kept secret weapons" or something similar would be better.

I'm seeing companies that manage to stay competitive because they are using Erlang. If a company manages to make things happen with less resources, it means that resources are available to invest in other things. To me that is enough to qua

Should we be afraid that if we get used to Spotify and its business model, then then they will take away music on CDs. And our senses will be dulled so that we don't notice what they've done until it is gone? Our should we just pay homage t

But it says the addresses in the vector are independent. What if they don't all point into the same cache line? You could have 16 cache misses. What have I misunderstood?

I do not see that happening. It is actually a good thing that each application can have their own isolated configuration that is tailored for the application's needs. It is that most file systems are optimized for large files. Reiser FS pro

"Load 16-wide vector register from scalars from 16 independent memory addresses, where the addresses are stored in a vector!" Wont that cause 16 memory reads that are much costlier than what one can benefit on a 16-way SIMD ALU operation? W

I think it is slow because of disk latency. To actually seek to find all these gazillion small configuration files. Just look at how boot up becomes much snappier when an SSD is used.

The problem is probably to find out which files these are. Not that it is hard to measure, but afaik there are no tools in place to do it right now.

I was curious how an article could be so biased and wanted to check what kind of journalism this paper featured. "On February 1, a free daily tabloid arrived on newsstands and in mailboxes in the Washington, DC area: the Washington Examiner
