I have open a few bigger PDF files with Sumatra. It is insanely fast, it starts insanely fast. Or maybe Sumatra is just normal, we got used to dealing with crappy, slow, bloated software "because RAM and CPU is cheap" and forgot t

So we will have some abstract language that will allow business people to define what software should do and on that base AI will generate source code and working project. Wait, wait, I have heard that it was called BPMN and it generated un

I am wondering when LGBT people will get tired by using them as a cheap marketing object, previously animals rights, being eco-friendly served this purpose. Now, if you want some free publicity, just tell you are gay friendly. Put a rainbow

My grandma had a very funny book with Jewish jokes and wisdom (she was not a Jew, such books were popular in Poland for their unmatched sense of humor - if you like Zucker Brothers movies you will know what I mean). Somehow the book survive

My experience shows that in order to succeed you need: 1) someone who knows marketing in the area you are targeting (medical equipment marketing is not the same as, say, cat hairdresser marketing or dev tools marketing); 2) someone who will

100% agree, the monstrosity that author proposes is really hard to swallow. Simple made hard. The idea to handle validation (we get HTML instead of expected JSON) by passing some Nothing object down the flow is horrible, if we expect JSON a

What is that crazy pull for ballot counting machines? Election is not happening every week, has to be supervised by humans anyway, this additional cost of having two more people here and there to count votes, sign the papers and put ballot

If people want to keep their code free of third party manipulations, just don't use freemium services like Github. They want to make money on your code in exchange for free place to keep it and popularity you can get. If this is not fa

No, it will not. Maybe it will replace higher management some day. Long time ago Napoleon noticed that strength of an army depends on its corporals. The same with companies, tech leads, middle management makes a true difference - you might

This looks so bad. Luckily I relay mostly on shortcut keys. I hope animations, if they indeed add them (wtf?), could be turned off.

Where do you draw the line between using and not using framework. Programming language is a framework over machine language. Java garbage collector is a wrapper around manual memory management. Java Servlets is a pretty thin wrapper over HT

Typical statistics that tells exactly nothing. If country A has 10 liters gas storage and it is 100% full and country B has 10 000 gas storage 50% full? Who is in a better shape? Hard to say, still - maybe country A uses 5 liters a year and

That's my impression to. Bikers apparently think that those funny white stripes on the roads and bike roads are some kind of decoration, not passage for pedestrian. Many bikers think that they have priority there...
