That makes a lot of sense then, and I'll bet the software industry has changed more since 1999 than I could know. I worked in the DC area from 2006 until last year, and running into another programmer under 30 on the job during that ti

by oinksoft 12y ago
I don't know what you've been observing, but the DC area is pretty much legacy programmer heaven. Nobody there thinks that they'll be out of work by their late thirties. Whoever told you that programmer careers end at the sam

The last paragraph of this review is in poor taste. The most cursory research into the author's "CryptoBox" shows that indeed this project is inspired by NaCL.

Starter/example projects are nice to have when you are learning because they put something bigger than "Hello, World" in your hands, and I'm certain people will find this useful. To call a project like this "beyond

Somebody has also made a JavaScript library for this: https://github.com/Gozala/protocol

by oinksoft 13y ago
That statement has nothing to do with personal experience, and everything to do with unmistakable trends in software development. If JavaScript were a frozen language I would agree with you, but the momentum behind JS is a tsunami.

To an extent it is a Devil you know/Devil you don't thing. The moment one of the JS-first people get bitten by the CoffeeScript compiler (having to indent/dedent something, move a comma, suddenly your code is working ... I th

Sometimes I think that most CoffeeScript, ClojureScript, etc. programmers are people who were advanced in other languages before they learned JavaScript. There are quite a few programmers who have no issues with these "bad parts"

Yum seems a little faster than apt-get/aptitude to me. Do you have the yum cache enabled? Yum normally downloads its package lists for every command, but you can make it cache the package list like apt-get does.

You can definitely make KDE4 look good, but KDE3 looked a lot better out of the box, and distros like openSUSE, Sabayon, PCLinuxOS, and MEPIS all provided very unique KDE setups, but it seems like the well-supported KDE4 distros all look ve

The problem with Manjaro package staggering is that it's based on fortune. The Manjaro team as far as I know does not maintain any packages not specific to Manjaro. After using Manjaro on my laptop for the better part of a year and run

In some parts of the US, there's a "lively debate" over this stuff. Where Mozilla Corp. is headquartered, anti-LGBT stances are considered antisocial and kept private. I think that's why it's a big deal.

Sure, but why TCP and not UDP? Why threads and not processes? Why a web server and not a mail server? Why ports instead of sockets? The list you made is a decent baseline for somebody doing web development, but a smart person programming in

I mean the CDN going down from the end user's point of view. Why the host is unreachable is a moot point.
142.
by oinksoft 13y ago
You're overthinking this. There are benefits to using a CDN beyond caching; you exaggerate the risk of the CDN going down, and the effort it takes to create a fallback for that. For most applications, a widely-used (cached) free CDN is

It's funny how the things you know well always happen to be the bare minimum of what you expect from others. Then you learn something else and hopefully realize that yourself of yesteryear still managed to write good, maintainable soft

I don't understand it either. JSFiddle is great for sharing examples, but who would choose to prototype there instead of using a browser and text editor? Not sure why you deleted your comment.
