Not every tool is the right tool for the job, and finding the right tool for the job is part of doing the job correctly. The thing that always bugged me about node is the argument that using the same tools on the server as in the browser is

Could not agree more, I find SOLID often creates more harm than good with a lot of devs. For example: S: Each class can only do one thing, ever! Gotta do something else? Lets add more classes that all inherit from each other! O: Heh, no

Any developer that only knows one language is carrying around a horrible cognitive bias of how software should be written and they don't even realize it. They are dangerous, keep and eye on them, and for the love of god teach them som

As a tool for data analysis I could see using something like this, but I don't think I could ever write an application on top of this. At the low levels you are running on top of hard-coded native DB queries, potentially across multip

Driving without anyone in the car is still completely driverless. That human-free car will still need to navigate through the environment with hitting anyone or anything with zero possibility of intervention.

> Add on the fact that the author of the readme is clearly writing in an exaggerated Russian / East European accent, with such wild claims and mystery surrounding the terms of the auction...I would suspect joke or alternate reality
128.
by qyv 10y ago
It would be reasonable to assume that the data in the auction contains as-of-yet undiscovered exploits. this also makes sense when you consider we will not likely know who walks away with this.

If WSL is able to deliver a real, honest-to-goodness linux experience, it will get me out of OSX and back onto windows. OSX becomes less compelling every release and the only thing that keeps me here is the *nix development environment.

I think this is a point that often gets glossed-over when talking about the advances in self-driving cars: Self-driving != Driverless Self-driving cars is largely a technology problem, and one that we have made great advances in the last 5-

Perhaps the real lesson here is that buying a brand-new device every 12 months isn't sustainable. It seems like such a tremendous waste of resources that the assumed behaviour for so many is to re-buy a device based solely on the idea

Word processors somewhat help replace the typing pool. Not to mention the affect that have had on the printing/typesetting industry. Image manipulation software allows a single person to produce far more work that hundreds of people

Why? What intrinsically makes the value of all domains equal?
135.
by qyv 10y ago
This makes sense to me. Some domain names are worth more than others. gaming.blog will probably have a lot of value, while ilikegrasshoppers.blog is not worth very much. I see no reason why these things should be assigned the same arbitr

Those who say "agile is dead" are those that think agile was something you had to buy in the first place. To me agile has always just been a way of thinking about solutions to problems. It can't 'die' because it i

The original argument is based on the assumption that the opposite of 'revealing 0-days makes us safer' is 'not revealing 0-days makes us less-safe'. I am not sure that is a correct assumption. On the surface it seems

Yes, you can always rewrite parts of a monolith, what I am saying is that it is just way easier to do with the hard-boundaries and well-defined interface contracts of microservices. You know that as long as you live up to the interface con

by qyv 11y ago
The part I love about microservices, and something that I think doesn't get enough attention, is that is strongly enforces separation of concerns across micro-projects. API boundaries are very clear and very rigid, it takes very littl

A product that no ones wants is not a great product. Great software != great product.

Custom software is a business risk not an asset. Your company processes and people become dependent on workflows that lock you into the software. You become beholden to a single vendor, and eventually the pain of switching away from a woe

Retailers don't support it because, like it or not, almost no one is trying to use it. And it isn't just the US, up here is Canada it is even worse I am betting. And honestly, I can understand this perfectly. I have a VISA card

The cross-platform aspect is very nice IMO. Being able to feel at home on all 3 major platforms is great!

Ya, it is just and editor. I have been using it on OSX for a while now and I like it's simplicity. The git integration is also very nice. ETA: yes it has debuggers for some languages as well, though none that I am using at the momen

Because requiring the use of two hands on two different input devices to access a feature that is not advertised to the user in any fashion is completely and utterly unintuitive.

Gestures are the epitome of interface metaphors. Not only that, but their hidden nature can make them exceptionally difficult to learn or master.

Speaking of Undo, one of google's common features across several of it's products is the use of undo instead of confirmation, I absolutely LOVE this. If I archive an email in gmail (app or browser) it doesnt't ask me if I am

Not to mention making public file sharing explicit instead of implicit, or at least giving the option to exclude specific files from a public URL.

I think the reasoning goes something like this: The anus should be assumed to be an unclean portion of the body, with the exception of directly after washing it with soap and water, and should always be treated under that assumption. By
