Increase the price of petrol. Many conflicts in the world are related to petrol. A significant part of military budget can be seen as a subsidize to petrol. There should be enough taxes to compensate all these hidden costs.

I think most of the creators of quality compilers have written huge numbers of toys (or experimental) compilers before.

Yes, that is my point in giving higher priority to KISS.

by reacweb 10y ago
IMO, all the points comes from 2 basic rules: 1 KISS (keep it simple and stupid) 2 DRY (don't repeat yourself) KISS being higher priority than DRY.

I remember it. It was far prettier than motif at that time. And Framemaker was so pleasant to use compared to Word. Both NeWS and NeXT were using Display Postscript ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_PostScript ). D

In 1994, when I started my carrier, the state of computer languages was bad (IMO) and I imagined that one day I would create a new language. I had many ideas. Some of these ideas appeared in java (interfaces). I was very pleased to discover

I know it is not correct to ad "me too" comments here, but I went here for the same quote as you. It is the best quote I have never seen about security because it does not depict a evil hacker that breaks a not secure enough wall.

Ssh is almost often available to connect through the firewall. Do IT people understand how easily you can work around proxy using ssh ? Just start a vm in the cloud (like a C1 at scaleway for 3.6€ per month), install squid (with default opt

There are blobs in the kernel and speed was a very important motivation when kernel switched to git.

IMHO, we should have increase nuclear power 20 years ago to avoid the current carbon pollution. Now, it is too late for nuclear. The future is solar power and it is quickly coming. The amount of available solar energy is enormous. In a furt

I am so happy with scaleway that I do not understand it is not in this list.

This article is very interesting, but I prefer to use sed or readlink /proc/<pid>/cwd instead of learning additional commands like rename and pwdx.

I would favor "dig en.wikipedia.org +short". I think it is installed by default (ubuntu, redhat). It does not require string parsing.

do you have something more focused on c++11 changes ?

IMHO, the history was different. Java applets were initially secure in a sandbox and faster than what was possible with the "javascript" of that era. Applets have become slow to start many years latter when bloated "enterpris

With the development of high speed internet, I would have expect a radical change of nature of work where teleworking would be the norm. Maybe this change is happening, but at a very slow pace. IMHO, the changes caused by autonomous cars wi

You mean computers should be able to work around humans ?

by reacweb 10y ago
I fully agree. A phablet, a bluetooth keyboard and a cloud hosting (I use scaleway) is enough for many kind of development (web, command line, ...). I am switching from emacs to vi mainly because of this setup.

The last time it happened to me, it was caused by a space. Instead of rm -rf toto٭, I had rm -rf toto ٭. Hopefully, it was not at the root directory and we have frequent snapshots.

My boss was complaining that COTS were expensive and gave gnat as an example. I asked him why do we pay for it ? We use support less than once every 5 years and in case of real problems, public forums exist. He was completely against this i

IMHO, calling it cheap is very exaggerated. It is already expensive at $109.99 compared to the simplicity of the product and the low cost of production and research. At $600, it was insane.

BTW, the point 32 is very inspiring. Could an AI imagine experiences to create models to explain the physic of our world. An AI to reinvent QM and relativity from scratch ? Maybe reconcile both ?

IMHO the wording of point 12 is a silly way to pretend that Alphago has not completely achieved its goal. Human players learn Go using manuals that compile the experiences of millions of games. The fact that Alphago can use directly huge c

Go is different than chess. There is no huge blunders to be found in well-known games. What Alphago can find are creative moves that happen to be very slightly better than "normal" ones. Since a week, I hear news about a bot named

When I was student, my favorite language syntax was Caml, the ancestor of OCaml. I am surprise there was comparison with many languages but not OCaml.
