Writing something for the second time is a significantly different experience so that makes the conclusion much less definitive to me. Did they need python at all the first time - maybe not. Python "velocity" is, to me, more about

Is dogma really useful? No matter how sensible some strategy is, can we afford to treat it as an absolute truth? I get the feeling that we are all inclined to think that we have the entire story of development in our own personal heads and

Not all countries have a social stigma attached to living with parents and a degree of parental interference/influence in your adult life is accepted. Perhaps this is because of high interest rates - can't just get out of dodge an

That might be a case of seeing it from the outside though. They are interacting with other people - the internet is only the conduit. It can be very negative to hang out with the wrong people whether it's physically or otherwise. It&#

Who really cares - 100 years ago you might as well have moaned about people living through books. We have to live and learn 2nd hand because: * Learning some things 1st hand has a high chance of being fatal * We cannot afford to live all po

I was working on an application for Symbian mobile phones and I was able to implement large parts of it as a portable library - the bits which compressed results using a dictionary to make them tiny enough to fit into an SMS message or a UD

To an extent I think it comes from looking at other companies out there that have achieved something and thinking that they planned everything about where they are now.

The country gets the leadership it deserves. We elect people who tell us X or Y because that's what we want to hear. The only way to be honest and also get elected seems to be to not understand that your promises are impossible to kee

Version control as a way of distributing and versioning the built code and also of rebuilding it minimally. Goodbye to installers and package managers....and traditional build systems.

if garlic is the main flavour e.g. in Cacik (ja-jik) in Turkey then yes you want to use fresh. Otherwise it really depends on where it's supposed to sit in terms of importance. On the whole though, a lot of classic foods can survive a

My impression is that you only get this nonsense when people are being competitive about cooking rather than actually caring about eating nice food. There are shortcuts that work and shortcuts that don't work so well and IMO it's

I'm from sub-Saharan Africa and FWIW I agree. The middle class represents a threat to power of the elite which continually tries to disempower it with the help of the jealousy of the "not middle class". So in countries where

It appeals to companies that think they only have to pay for one tool. It's awful for agile work but your boss sees the "agile" tickbox and says "fine"

I live in the land of Raspberry Pi but the local school wants iPads and windows laptops. What can you do? A lot of people just aren't interested in computers and if there's one little disadvantage they are happy enough to not have

Presumably they become product managers or something like that and try to get a series of changes through various teams in a co-ordinated way that add up to some achievement or "project". Their estimates have to be based on what t

I suggest that it's "agile in name only" because it was fashionable. The people at the top have probably bent it all back to waterfall because ... who knows - maybe it suits their style of thinking or makes them feel in cont

I think a project manager trying to run agile is almost a contradiction in terms. Agile is usually a team practise which outsiders like a PM don't get a say in. The Product Owner feeds work in and stakeholders get to argue about the

The team lead does have a little authority to go with the responsibility whereas the Senior Developer tends to be given things to be responsible for without any authority to do them. But I agree about endless meetings and very little joy o

We put our standup after lunch if that's what you mean, because some developers are in the US and it's morning for them. It lets most of us get a quite peaceful morning of work in - somehow it spawns less meetings. Afterwards ther

I'd like a simulation of the birth and growth of civilisation where I could change parameters and see what the different results would be. Parameters would be things like the probability distribution of various characteristics such as

This was what my team developed - a build system that worked properly with parallelism. I'm still very proud of it even though there were design issues, it was really quite innovative in its way and the only big mistake was to make it

I want to avoid closing the door on possibilities that I think likely in the future but a lot of that happens where you make commitments to other users such as in an API or in commandline options. I want there to be a way to add a "v2&

Then you haven't changed nearly enough obviously. What are we supposed to do in this situation - feel sorry for you? Do a university course or move to a new country and learn a language, start a business. Apply your ability to handle

Well, you're good at making the rest of us feel inferior - perhaps that's the problem? Why not move into a domain where you're a beginner again and feel what it's like to struggle to learn from scratch?

Working with larger and larger groups of people gets harder and big companies don't have all the solutions - fortunately - because otherwise little companies wouldn't have a chance.

In effect it's a giant work camp/prison. You look like you're free and you can leave if you manage to get the money and some kind of visa but otherwise your money inflates away to nothing and somehow this doesn't affect

I think you're right but I believe that wrapping it in List(...) is where that would force the whole file into memory.

The shell's advantage is that of the pipeline components don't need to suck the whole file in so it can potentially operate on much larger files without running out of memory. I think only "sort" is problematic and at l

The top 3 items on your list seem to be about prestige/status. I imagine you're thinking about buying that. If so then I understand - if you've seen other people getting promoted and wondered about whether it was the extra q
