Bugs are a part of life and I think it's safe to say that we don't intentionally put Bugs on our code. Therefore, while your guilt is justified, I don't think you should let yourself be overwhelmed from it. The best thing you

Really? I've always pronounced it car ( kar ) because it's short for character which is pronounced karakter in the first place.

Oh this brings a lot of memories. I remember writing a DSL for visualization of logs that we collected when we were working in a hyper local geographical search engine. I was fresh out of college and this was when Google maps had yet to pen

I think that the point I'm trying to make is a bit different. If you do make a movie that's not a documentary and follows the traditional recipe of good vs evil, then there must be some evil that has to be portrayed. You make movi

At the very end of this sentiment is the fact that all movies depicting invasion should only be made if it's Alien invasion. In that way, no one's sentiment would be hurt and no one would be portrayed evil. At some point you have

No. If the code they write works for them, then they have done their job. People only realized that it was a bad practice once they found that the code was NOT doing their job (i.e. it was difficult to fix/debug when error occurred, it

A general advice that I have found useful in life is that if you see something that requires a change (in organization, business process, lifestyle or just about anything that has humans as a component) that doesn't directly involve yo

I think that you shouldn't call other profession lazy/ignorant in general. People only tend to maximize their profits and minimize efforts, and this is natural. This, in no way, means that farmers are lazy and certainly not ignora

Interesting. I'm curious as to what you use instead of "whitelist" and "greylist"?

Reminds me of the House MD episode where the guy takes drugs to make himself "stupid" enough to live with his wife.

You have written such a thoughtful reply that it honestly makes me sad. Why can't something so basic, that each of us feel within us does not occur to or resonate with hundreds of qualified (I imagine) administrators or policy makers?

Is there any comprehensive article that covers what log4j is and just what happened that is so critical that seems to have set the entire world on fire? Disclaimer: I have never heard of or used log4j before in my life.

I wouldn't be surprised if COBOL were still around by that time. Lots of tech came and went but FORTRAN and COBOL were stubborn enough to survive!

Years ago I had an idea. A game of magic battles. The witches and wizards would search the vicinity (very much like Pokemon go) to find other witches and wizards, challenge them to a duel and fight it out with their wands (or smartphones).

I think all these negative responses come from those who can afford a private school for their kids.

I know that it would be a pretty biased response but do Corporates not make large decisions only when they think that it'll make them more money? Removing dislike metrics sounds like a supremely large decision.

Your disrespect for other jobs (than tech) is appalling to me. Have you ever stopped and considered that if everyone started doing tech, there'd be no one making food, clothes, laptops, buildings, and just about anything in the planet?

Maybe someone somewhere will come up with a NLP based solution which will cluster people with similar ideas (by means of their blogs) so that you may find people who share your interests within the cluster or explore other idea clusters.

I have always wondered about this question i.e. is it always necessary to model our systems "exactly" on the natural physiology? Case in point, men, inspired from the flights of the bird in nature first tried to build the flying m

It might just be me, but the thing that has given me trouble constantly through all these years while writing is that at some point, I just can't bring myself to like what I've written. I guess it's analogous to how one does

I think that if maintaining good sleep hygiene and diets have not helped for a long time, then one should probably start consulting a trained medical professional.

I started my programming in the more "traditional" way i.e., C/C++ and then later python. When I started doing python, I was flabbergasted to find that I could just do 100**100 and get a complete number without using any addi
