I'm constantly trying to determine what it is that's wrong with .Net (aside from the politics) -- and I think you might have nailed it -- it might be as simple as 'design view' and all the 'built-in stuff you should never use that looks rea

1) That's irrelevant. I'm speaking to the importance of the ability to reason a linked list which is not really related to 'practical examples of linked lists in a web development context'. To quote silentbicycle above: "It's a linked list

You know, at one point I thought that as well. I felt, that as someone who programs almost solely in 1) C# 2) Erlang -- "thanks I've got a stdlib for that". And then I actually thought about what it takes to reverse a linked list for a seco

Without Steve Jobs, this picture is incomplete.

Erlang comes from industry and design has been driven by use... that's pretty practical. Your point about the JVM is solid, but it would be a mistake to dismiss a language wholesale with a cheap dig because you hear that "string handling su

Did we read the same article? It wasn't about challenge nor was it a tirade against making things easy.

What an awesome little hack!

No, that's not it at all. I just think that someone so blatantly being a jackass, and being filmed in the act, deserves all the publicity that they get. I'm not suggesting we burn these kids at the stake or tattoo their crimes on their fore

Cry me a river! If the worst of the things that I did as a kid showed up in my Google results I'd still be hireable. Why? Because I was a goody two-shoes who never did anything wrong? Nope! So why, then? Because while I was maybe mischievou

NoSQL and RDBMS are not competing tools occupying the same solution space. It's not an either-or, and anyone who thinks that it is has no idea what they're talking about . NoSQL doesn't give you a tool that scales better, it gives you a di

That's nice and all, but I fail to see what's wrong with my Airwalks/Sketchers, jeans, black tee shirt and black-colored hoodie.

It's funny to watch Seinfeld with this in mind. Virtually every episode's plot is unbelievable given cell-phones.

by sofuture 16y ago
It's (still) stupid arguing that NoSQL systems are crappy at proving the things RDBMS systems provide. (Because they are, and no one has ever said differently, it's akin to yelling at a Bugatti Veyron (yeah, I went there) for being so bad a

You're watching the output of a command. In what world exactly, is the name 'watch' unclear or a poor choice?

Sure, but when you do 'half' of the things in a rainbows-and-unicorns utopian feature set, that's worth mentioning :)

I entirely disagree that visualization is a/the missing panacea. Code is not a visual thing nor does it even represent a visual thing -- making it visual accomplishes nothing (except for making it visual). Pictures, formatted document tex

by sofuture 16y ago
I don't think I really agree with any of that. The binary aspect of software workingness doesn't really matter... Code is just bits of information that gets massaged around, there's no reason why the tools to do so can't improve. Sure the s

Visual Studio with Resharper does half of the things mentioned in the article. Some of .Net, LINQ for example, was built with the IDE in mind hence LINQ's 'backward' seeming query syntax (you say what you're querying over up front, so the

Yes, often businesses don't understand development... but... Us dev's have it drilled into us time and time again that we are so special and can't possibly be expected to participate in the company as a whole (our time is too valuable! we c

From my understanding, that 'routing' decision would have to take place inside of Mongo -- null routing DDoS packets on a network is one thing, dropping certain database requests on the fly inside a database server sounds a littttle bit t

Counterpoint: you can remove yourself from a Facebook group, you can't remove yourself from a webpage or mailing list that someone else has control of. How's this so terrible again?

I don't see what this provides aside from redundant verbosity... How much a stumbling block is switch really? "Oh you mean it just keeps going until you break? Okay, duly noted." Fall through switch is quite useful, and if you really wanted

I can email you without your approval, what's your point? That's an identical amount of control that you're surrendering. I don't get the frenzy-Facebook-rage...

I'd say about 70%. The other 30% are family -- lord knows I'd defriend them in an instant if we didn't have to see each other on the holidays!

So don't friend them on Facebook? No snark intended, I don't understand why that's always off the table in Facebook discussions. I have 95 friends, they are all family or friends or coworkers. I previously had a lot more friends, but what's

by sofuture 16y ago
This is simply a 'mailing list' for friends on Facebook. Why aren't you outraged that people can create email mailing lists with outrageous titles like "NAMBLA Email Monthly" that include your address?

API stability is a problem. An engineering culture that breaks APIs is bullshit . Taking 48+ hours to fix show-stopper platform errors is bullshit . Their 'innovative approach' is not working and the proof is in the pudding. They have n
