People are shallow. The computer is their best friend 95% of the time, but they remember the last 5% and how much it cost them more than anything.

I thought that was kind of obvious. A friend of mine who repairs PCs occasionally finds nothing wrong with them and does the usual "I'll run some maintenance on it" and the client is always happier afterwards. He doesn't

I think it has just changed so that the media won't report something and then will try and discredit any amateur reports later. The BBC has many large gaps in its reporting at least and seem to favour an almost tabloid approach to some

I'm really glad that there is an industrial use for them. Blue ones are used, at least around my area, to decorate things.

Thanks for the reply. Interesting theory and one I agree with entirely based on who I know. I'd love to move out of the UK and will do this if we ever drop out of the EU. Perhaps East of that line.

You're not interpreting it correctly. Go read it again and my other comments. In summary, perhaps a little more concisely: I'm an outlier. I'm well built but thanks to BMI, I'm classified as obese. I eat a lot of crap as

It's spot on: http://www.lhup.edu/~DSIMANEK/cargocul.htm I'm calling up hokum and bad science, nothing more.

I eat a shit ton of straight sugars, fat and carbs and am technically obese if you consider the rather non-scientific BMI system. However, I rode 59 miles from London to Brighton on my nice Dawes Ultra Galaxy a couple of months back without

Aware of this. My point was purely derision. A lot of nutritional fads are indistinguishable from religion. Scales are always balanced, not necessarily visibly.

How's your heart? No their problems weren't just the lard. It was derision pointed at the unfounded basis of your analysis and the complexity of the human diet, metabolism and relatively limited knowledge of nutrition we have. &#x

Not too much. Coronary heart disease wiped out a big chunk of my family and it wasn't because they ate sugar - it was the lard on toast and chips cooked in lard... Everything in moderation is probably better advice than a single fact.

I see a lot of that across Europe. I've been dying to do a road trip out that way (from the UK) but it's difficult with three children. Everyone I've met and spoken to out there has been through some serious shit right up unt

This has been the case in the UK for many years as well. One of my earliest memories at the tender age of 3 (very early 1980s) was wearing one of those blue anoraks with a fuzzy collar and being wheeled to the greasy caf'[1] in a buggy

I could say the same about most of the supposed superior replacements. Everything is dangerous in the hands of idiots. The technology is almost entirely irrelevant to the discussion.

Circa 2002-2006 I was quite active in the Linux community I.e. I contributed some code to a few GNU projects and a couple of kernel patches to solve problems that were, quite selfish really. But hey it turns out it wasn't just me or my

Yes. Even worse than that, I remember when the box contained a pile of bits and you had to sift through piles of manuals to assemble it all first.

The 35S is buggy as hell, poorly designed, the battery lasts too little time and the keys break easily. I owned one and regretted the purchase (I went through an "own every calculator phase") This is the best thing on the market a

That's like comparing a Volvo to a Trabant. FreeBSD is the Volvo for reference.

This. People mustn't expect everything to ever work straight out of the box on anything. Much like you have to install the Lenovo PM driver on windows, you have to config apm on OpenBSD. This is also well known. Quick howto which cover

Try FreeBSD if you want TRIM. Also has LLVM, PF and ZFS out of the box.

Lenovo X201 works well. Not exactly modern but a nice machine and more than adequate.

Horrible calculators despite a major following. I wouldn't buy too much into the HP calculator love. I myself was a follower and had an HP 50G (Nice 205MHz ARM RPL machine, successor of the HP48 series). Was totally unusable without th

CQRS and event sourcing are separate concepts. I wouldn't introduce event sourcing into any product. It makes consistency very hard and expensive; more so than to ignore it and buy much larger machines. In fact, after watching people f

From my perspective, foreign keys are important as they are the last guarantee that two bits of data belong to each other. Also they do have a positive performance impact in JOIN scenarios. If FK performance is an issue, then there are bett

My stance is exactly the same as yours. All the logic sits in the service layer in front of this abstraction and nothing touches anything but the service layer. Nothing touches the tables at all unless it goes through both layers. This was

A little comment regarding the Z80 vs 6502 register count: I always consider the 6502 to have 256 registers (zero page) and an accumulator and two index registers. Never a shortage if you use it like that...

OT of course, but I think that's what our outsourcers did: keep adding monkeys then the probability of completing a programming task slowly converges on 1...

I'd need a blog for that and the time to do it :) Not a bad idea though.

3) Not every developer is a good SQL developer. I find that developers are better SQL developers than their ability to successfully design a domain model.
