My only criticism of your analysis is that HTML5 and JS already are a .NET presentation layer. I agree, this is sensationalist, factless and pointless reporting. What's next? Is CSS4 going to replace the JVM?!?

Apple should send this kid one of all their new devices. I think you're missing the horror here.

The real answer is just as much about our industry’s culture as it is about technology. No, it's entirely about our industry's culture. Which is a shame. It's a fantastic framework that should and could supplant the JVM. It never will

Ditto, we're just in the process of moving to EC2, and were happy to find our staging environment (the only thing moved over so far) is happily healthy (of course it gets minimal load).

It is difficult to get Cache frameworks and other infrastructure working with MS Stack if you got a high performance website. How so?

Do you use .Net or are you familiar with the .Net community? Or are you basing your opinions on your lack of familiarity with it?

.NET is such a heavy toolset What does that mean, specifically? I've found it is a great stack, and the biggest problem it has is public perception :)

To suggest that MySpace couldn't have changed their product due to a technology stack they moved to (I'm speculating a bit here) rather late in the losing-out-to-Facebook is pretty silly. Even if close to true, it would be their specific ar

There's a difference between professionally programming and learning to program. You shouldn't ever find yourself in the situation where you think an IDE is magical and "javac" is a typo of the word "java".

True, that is what's happening. The cool thing is that dimensional (in J terms, it's 'rank') overloading is inherent to the language. Most operators have implicit dimensional looping or respond different to differently ranked inputs. Take f

How could you look at an APL-family language and then be totally outraged that the implementation took quite a bit stylistically from the language itself?
72.
by sofuture 16y ago
Hah! That is how the code is really written. It's... a unique style, shared amongst the APL languages. I'm pretty sure there are about two people that can read and write that fluently: Roger Hui and Arthur Whitney.

J is awesome. GPL'd J is even better! Some of us are trying to organize our efforts here: https://github.com/openj/core We don't intend on mucking with the code much at this point, just patching together a better build system, etc.

Your argument would hold a lot more water if all the other things that 'couldn't possibly' go wrong hadn't already gone wrong.

Look into filesystems over SSH. There are things like that for windows and they work okay (though what's wrong with using an FTP/SFTP client?) I think you're missing the point that admining a Linux server is different . The complete set of

I actually have no complaints whatsoever about Ubuntu (except for the 'you must use google+gconf to turn off the login screen sound'). In fact, I've found it so appealingly easy to use over the past few years that I've switched to FreeBSD j

#1 Is obnoxious . There should absolutely be a way to turn off the drum-sound without rolling out gconf.

I don't mean this with any Linux-nerd snark at all: You shouldn't be administering a Linux server with remote desktop. You shouldn't even have X installed on your servers. Even if you can administer some things, you'll find the tools just

It's more general than you'd think -- though it is a drastically different way of looking at problems. You have to set your sights a bit further up the scope of the problem, and that takes a lot of getting used to. Thinking in terms of the

I would have few qualms not abiding by the arbitrary and invasive framework of rules the insurance company, drug company and health care industry have erected around my self, my body and my choices. That said, I don't advocate scamming, ste

But we've already created a culture where your medical diagnosis is driven by the drug and health insurance company's gain! You admit that yourself, and then have the nerve to suggest that our medical diagnosis shouldn't lead to our perso

I'm using Judo ( https://github.com/heroku/judo ) to do 'launch-to-running-services-on-devices'. Great tool for what I'm doing, though it looks like CloudFormation has a whole lot of overlap.

I'm not calling for index funds to be shut down. That would be counterproductive. I'm just suggesting that, in at least a Kantian sense, you feel bad about yourself if you invest in them. Wow, I really don't think you understand how a mar

Curious as to how others deploy .Net software? We have a pretty streamlined process all the way up to 'put files on production server' which we do by hand. There's too many 'gotchas' with Windows/our environment that I don't feel comfortabl

The collateral damage? They're making out just fine, what do they care about a handful of app developers? Maybe this will be the one that gets developers to realize this is not a sustainable game they are playing with Apple, by Apple's rul

My CV is XML and XSLT, and I don't print it to a PDF -- anyone unable to click a link to it, is probably not someone I want to work for (sure, there are exceptions, but...)

I'm sure the one all-encompassing corporate overlord is better than the other. Absolutely! Where do I enlist?

Right and if your ISP says it was your modem, it was your modem .

Yeah but you know, and I know, that's a rubbish argument. Absolutely it could happen and that person obviously should bear no responsibility. But an IP address is enough to bring the argument to that point . Pretty big leap to go from "Wel
