“The past didn’t go anywhere” - great album, I haven’t played it in years but some lines come to mind regularly.

To take this example to an extreme, would you allow the Pyramids to be destroyed in order to save one goat? A crab? It seems entirely reasonable to me that some people would value an important cultural artifact over a kitten. However, I w

Exactly, they’ve gone for luxury but not as well as MB or Audi who are now eating their lunch. To say nothing of Porsche taking the sportscar and sporty SUV market profits. CarPlay subscription is just offensive.

Spotify really wants people to listen to podcasts... it's oh so much easier to wedge some advertising into podcasts.

That would still have been a description of the company's nice intentions, and not a contract/legal promise.

Odds are, if you're a programmer, that you'd have come up with a very similar scheme, given knowledge of the kinds of messages the software is expected to send or receive. I.e. leave the envelope plausible-looking and stash the p

You are arguing against a different idea than was presented.

I imagine it refers to the comparison of argument types to find the best match among overloaded methods with the same arity. e.g. when the machine has got "void foo(java.lang.Object)" and "void foo(java.lang.Number)" to

How is "everything a little after" the same as "some things prior, other things after"?

No. Prepared statements since forever.

Quite superficial don’t you think?

Ah, I see what you mean. It does seem like you'd want a more complex arrangement of trusts to keep things simple on the leaves; or else avoid using a product that requires generating a hundred scattered security authorities.

Eh? Brokering amongst multiple trusts (and managing protocol transition) is almost the raison d'etre for lifting token issuance out of your app and into ADFS, Okta, Auth0, etc. Of course you'll have to deal with home realm discov

EventBridge has been struggling for about the past 14 hours as well, which means Cloudwatch Events is not too happy; and, I have the impression CWE underpins a surprising diversity of other things at AWS.

Ah yes, I remember the first time I was asked--with a tad of suspicion--what a MUD is, and explaining it in terms of its graphical successors, themselves now antique, which I never touched.

I actually like fairly explicit XML-based config with Spring. Something like "<constructor-arg value='#{thing.fnFor("x")}'/>" for example. Connects the pieces without relying on inference/magi

One doesn't need to think of classes that way, though. A class could hold immutable references to immutable objects/functions/whatever (these are often the easiest classes of all to reason about). Call me a weirdo, but I enj

While I don't disagree with your remarks, I'm curious whom you're educating here and why; parent post makes no statements about controller/view/service/repository responsibilities, only that something very of

Don't do it! Not if your application is more than a toy. I get the allure of this kind of approach, but the costs in usability and defense against pathological queries (given nontrivial data volumes) are way too heavy to bear for the

It seems kind of... hubristic? for a company like Prezi to go out on a limb for an obscure language. Did they read PG's old essays about lisp and plan on repeating a fluke?
295.
by sk5t 6y ago
No, I don't think that I will--originally used the -ic suffix but removed it to make an unambiguous reference to the party rather than the more general notion of democracy.

You may be confusing the actions and strategy of a single Democrat President with the prevailing wishes of the party.

Nothing's wrong with your message, but its content made some people unhappy, and they used downvote as a 'disagree' button. Frankly I think your take is right on. A vote for Hillary well may have been a vote for leadership t

Yikes. This heavily slanted article is tailor made to suit the worldview of the "smug Young Republican" set.
