The author conflates abstract and immaterial. Computer programs don't have to be abstract, and often are not. And that's precisly what makes them more approachable than mathematics: you manipulate actual structures, see the result

The only way to make this kind of thing scale is to provide an easy-to-work-with API to service provider, such that they can provide their own answers to a (simple enough) structured representation of the user query. Not sure it's the

I think at least one side of creativity can be summed up as "producing new combinations of things we already know" . In this context art would be more than creativity : means of suggesting new unexpected combinations of ideas in

GE claims 0.23mm spacial resolution across a 160mm span in 0.28 seconds if I understand correctly [1]. This would be about 695^3 voxels. Seeing the example captures [2] I guess the device can scan multiple volumes in a row to cover larger s

Yes it tends to be more expensive at first. But look, as a community we can't even (yet) agree on what makes quality. It is hard to sell something you can't clearly explain.

I completely share your experience. It almost always takes me two complete drafts before getting an architecture right anyway. This probably looks awful to people who like to "ship" more than they like to "build". I like

When we add a layer of code on top of a system what we're doing is essentially locking or coupling degrees of freedom from the layer below. Trying to go the opposite way at the same time often is delusional. When I'm tempted to ma

As the maintainer of such a library I think it's your duty to refrain from adding every requested feature. If your users need more flexibility then break down your library into building blocks that will allow them to build exactly what

In this respect, the feature would even be to hide the profile.

I made a host filtering proxy with node a while ago to solve exactly this problem. https://github.com/thibauts/node-host-filtering-proxy Edge cases are not completely ironed out but if people want to help perfect it I&

It looks difficult because we refuse to draw the obvious conclusions and take at face value what our day-to-day experiences teach us. Let the master programmers (with substantial backing proof) lead the way and everything will fall into pla

SaaS don't have to be "beta". And of course there are many factors to take into account.

OR you choose to delegate the burden of running and maintaining this software to someone that will do it in a more cost-effective way than you ever could.

AFAIR Windows is full-C and COM doesn't rely on C++ object semantics.

To me what makes functional programming matter and what differentiates it from OOP today is less its essential properties than the simple fact that it pushes you to think in terms of functions that process collections of objects rather th

Golang's stance on this struck me when I saw it. "Of course". URLs have the answer embedded in their name from the beggining. There of course are pros and cons but it seems to me much saner to have URLs as package names and

There's one thing you're responsible for that I don't see mentioned here : potentially wasting a name from the global namespace. There are too many abandoned projects that took the easy to remember / cool names. At a sma

This. Things go wrong in a team (with or without a particular silver bullet) when there are bad or unmotivated programmers, or when there are no experienced leads to pass the wisdom. Recruiter more often than not don't realize this is
