That's a really loose/convenient definition. I started out with ASP2 BTW so I managed to skip cgi. I wouldn't argue that Scala is going to be The Next Big Thing. I think the industry is large enough that there isn't goin

I don't think that's true at all. There are plenty of "bad" languages that have become popular.

That first link is pretty useless since it never mentions what the terms VZ failed to meet actually are. I would imagine it's most likely something about coverage. That they aren't going to let VZ get a franchise that allows them

At least in .NET land stubs were very common (several libraries actually generated them for you based on your Interfaces). Nice post BTW.

The quote Gary references is: > "The classical definition of a unit test in TDD lore is one that doesn't touch the database." So nope. Not confused. ;-) That said the conference he referred to happened in 2000 ( http:&#x2F

Why should such a threat (if you were to interpret it that way), from the very person who was ousted reflect poorly on Github? What does AI expect Github to even do about that? It seems completely irrational.

Watching the video now. Thanks for the tip. I'm curious why you'd call for-comprehensions powerful though. AFAIK they're just sugar over map/flatten/filter. IME it's almost always more succinct and more reada

I've used ScalaZ a bit (don't remember exactly why, but something to do with Future transformations), but I found it to crush the compiler. Especially combined with IntelliJ. I like the async/await stuff. Especially after att

async/await and removal of the case-class/tuple 22 field limit are the big ones I think. (edit: the limit is still in effect for Tuple apparently. Only removed for case-classes.) In database (or Actor ask) heavy code dealing with

BitBucket/JIRA/Confluence integration could be much tighter. BitBucket definitely feels like an island IME. That said, it's most of what you want from Github at much more reasonable rates. So I'm very happy with it outsi

Wasn't that the FBI? If there were other means (blank-cheque warrants) to achieve their goals, it seems unlikely that the NSA would loop those agents in. Plus, would evidence obtained that way, without a warrant, even be admissible in

I think we're talking about the same thing. Binding a select-box to an event that makes that request and fills it in is trivial. And that data comes from the server. If you're saying that you bring back a coarse interface (of scho

Honda is selling a single purpose safety device with no moving parts called the "Fit"? And it's had 4 recalls you say? Won't that lead to confusion since they sell a car of the same name? With millions of parts? That mov

by ssmoot 13y ago
Sure. But most if not all of that logic is on the server anyways. So to actually make it work that way would be (IME) a duplication of effort. Then you have to deal with the fact that some of these second-order effects may be dealing with t

More people have used and experienced CRTs. That doesn't make them superior. Just the state of the art for their time. You're right. It doesn't matter that I think that. It matters that OSX can get people to convert because W

Two-way Data Binding is really oversold IMO. There are few cases where I want such a thing (like say updating the count on a shopping cart when an item is added). I don't ever want an item you're adding in a form to be showing up

8 years ago I left behind .NET development and gaming PCs as a hobby for Ruby development on a Mac. I got into crypto-currency mining last year. As that became less profitable I decided to sell most of my mining hardware, keep one R290, and

Anecdotally: The best projects I've ever worked on (happy clients, met budgets for time/cost) had the most up-front planning and thought on the requirements . The worst projects, with runaway costs, unhappy stakeholders and a rea

Price out a Model S. They're as bad (or worse) as BMW as far as options go. $80K with cloth seating. You don't even get the plug in charger standard, just a trickle charger. And the plug in is three times the price of a good 7kw c

I live in Texas and pay a half-cent premium to get 100% wind-power at around 9.6c per kWh to charge my Nissan Leaf. Since I use a 7kw charger at home almost exclusively then actually running the car (not including it's production) is a

So backwards first I guess. "per person". Ok. But given the range of programmers I guess that's not an incredible surprise. Yes the person is more important than the language. I'd buy that. I guess "expression"

I feel like you probably haven't coded IO in a language like c# (in earlier versions anyways) or Java if you think I'm playing semantics. Expressions are distinct from Compositions, and both influence LOC. I wouldn't suspect

I wasn't attacking your comment. Just curious about the citation since it doesn't intuitively sit right with me I guess.

I don't think you're giving his argument enough credit. Since he's a pro, he probably knows what he's talking about. I've tried Magic-Plan, and yeah, it was frustrating and too inaccurate to be useful. Start at the

Do you have a citation for that? Because I'd totally buy that the number of expressions matters. But I really doubt actual lines matters much.

Accessibility seems like an issue then?

As someone with an R290 and 4670K that's hard to believe. Plus I probably spent $2500 on this setup. Started out as a miner. Went through three cases (NZXT -> Corsair 300R -> Bitfenix Prodigy), three motherboards (Asus MA97-2 -&g
