Yes, because space rockets never blow up on take off or shortly after.

Well it's first and foremost a protocol. Feel officially invited to implement it in any language you like. Language correctness guaranties sounds to me as a term from MBA programs and business magazines and not something a REAL dev wou

I guess you missed the /s at the end. As the perfect program runs on top of buggy hardware, OS, libraries, VMs, etc.

You are partially right. It is completely possible to write in JS/Mongo systems as robust as Ada/Oracle|DB2|SQL Server. You just have to know what you are doing. There is no magic in Ada, Oracle, etc. Node and Mongo are moving hun

That's my life strategy and I'm in a very good company - politicians, bankers, ultra-rich :)

How do you feel about companies interviewing say 20 people for a single position?

Most people you know maybe. Most people I know are quite foolish themselves and repeat whatever their favorite TV station has brainwashed them to believe about the global warming.

US is no longer the center of the world. EU and China have comparable industrial capability. Maybe OP's idea will work for them.

The conspiracy hypothesis is that the oil people have long ago acquired controlling interest in the auto corporations. Via foundations, funds, banks, etc.

At a local AWS group meeting an Amazon IT guy mentioned in presentation they support around 15 000 internal software development machines in the cloud. Also surprisingly all their dev machines have a commercial Lisp IDE licensed and install

Not at all ridiculous. The company I consult with currently has 5K programmers, another 10K information technology staff and 48K sales people in branches. Their site moves more product and brings more profit than the branch network. Actuall

Sure, if they say 2+2=4 that's Putin propaganda ...

I'm not trying to defend anyone. Russia is as evil as the US, it just doesn't have enough hardware to do as much damage. The man in space flew on a rocket initially designed in Nazi Germany.

Link for the article?

So you're saying "Don't talk US, because Russia"?

by rational-future 12y ago
Russia is a small country (as population and industry) compared to US and EU. It cant afford to reinvent the way a modern society, government, media, etc. works. The state propaganda machine is a direct copy of what the US and especially th

You're funny as well :) RT, BBC, Al Jazeera are official state propaganda machines, but that doesn't mean ALL they say is propaganda. As a matter of personal opinion on many subjects (not directly connected with the Russian govern

How come?

by rational-future 12y ago
This is far from the true most of the time. In my experience the only places where pay doesn't mostly depend on skills/smarts/effort are government and to a lesser degree the big monopolies/oligopolies like Comcast.

Such a stupid nonsense!!!! Spend a few hours reading about the industrial revolution and you'll see NONE of this applies to the greatest mechanical engineers in history.

by rational-future 12y ago
No, it's not. What you describe is the political theater - another form of circus. All decisions are made behind closed doors by very smart people.

Yeah, never mind the 99.99% of Nobel winners that aren't/weren't athletes.

by rational-future 12y ago
Professional sports are for the dumb - a modern version of the Roman circus to keep the unwashed masses occupied and away from the important things in life - politics, finance, economics.

Not so incidentally. Around 5 years ago the Israeli ministry of defense started generously funding brain research projects (they are interested in stuff like direct computer interfaces for pilots). It seems an army of brain researchers have

Some part of it certainly goes into MongoDB development. It still sucks, but every new version has a ton of major improvements. I may give it another try once 2.8 is released.
