People who are new to the business should be able to challenge the assumptions that the business has built up over time and ceased to question. They are the most insecure, however, no knowing who will be annoyed, shown up, embarassed by tha

I find it wryly amusing that build times have become an issue with javascript. We had all these problems with large C++/C based operating systems and went through all of this thought.

You'll know the first few minutes already but I think it's how things go in the 2nd half that sparked my interest.

Perl was super for little scripts hence it became popular. I think the killer feature was its fantastic regular expression language which beat everything at the time. All other languages had to do to was neutralise that one advantage and th

but it is their code. It's their achievement. It's their mark on the world that says they were needed and did something useful. They struggled and their passion gave them the strength to get through it. It's how they get t

Not using it themselves is why my managment at various companies wouldn't let anyone do sensible things. Companies that sell to other companies .... don't care about the users. It's one bunch of managers sleezing up to anothe

The internet has turned into a machine for influencing people already through adverts. Businesses know it works. IMO this is the primary money making mode of the internet and everything else rests on it. A political or social objective is j

It's horrifying to see someone who started working 10 years after me talking about "when I was young" :-D Programming was more exciting when you had amazing things to imagine having - like a 256 colour screen or BASIC that ra

That's not "developer brain" but marketing speak! Lots of websites for technical products are like this - generalities galore. Usually the open source ones just say what they are.

It obviously will do but with any luck you'll be so successful that you'll grow enormously and perhaps not have complete control in the end. Hopefully you'll have enough money not to mind too much!

To be cynical, what's the point? You'll get employed and forced to be a part of them by circumstances. Your company's root priorites are probably at odds with writing good software. One Japanese company, not going to name nam

There are many pressures and this is all about a lack of transparent honesty about what the real priorities are. Getting the project done properly may be #1 priority but there's priority 0 and 0.1 and others which are unspoken because

IMO team X needs or wants something and tries to get the other teams to accept it too. The other teams might not need it and in fact it might make life more complicated and difficult. If anyone objects then the last resort is "best pra

Communism, for better or worse, was the system of the opponent. It's the reason that various people did turn over to their side or give them secret intelligence. Did Pravda knowingly employ right wing Russians? They wouldn't even

That's a very purist viewpoint. The other side hired people to work against Britain and managed to get them into sensitive organisations, particularly the security services of course. Should Britain have surrendered to that in the name

A brief summary: The big secret of efficiency lies in the working mode: while conventional neural networks are constantly calculating whether there is something to do or not, SNN neurons only fire when relevant events occur. Classic AI mode

Artix is great IMO. You can choose your init system. It's not for your grandmother perhaps. It's a rolling distro like Manjaro and I think it generally benefits from the Arch ecosystem. I only really notice it getting better si

That suggests that we cannot be allowed to dislike it. I'm allowed to not like init systems e.g. I don't like s6 at all. Oddly, I don't like systemd either but it's not heresy or stupidity or whatever else one might asc

dinit is, imo, the one I'd pick. It's focused but it has dependencies and the services are defined by a DSL rather than startup scripts. Having said that, I haven't used runit and from the look of it, it's a big improvem

The history of AI has been to reject human inspired forms and then be forced to adopt them. OK that's a sweeping statement but I think it encapsulates the general attitude quite well for a single sentence. We fly in planes which are no
