For my time spent, I'd rather improve debugability over most any other aspect of quality in software. I dream of never needing to get something reproduced because when something goes wrong there is a real useful data and execution trace, no

Fwiw, fossil is engineered from the ground up to have an enduring disk representation if that's the top of your list.

They are probably stretching too far with the virtual ISA, but unified address space for CPU/GPU would be pretty amazing.

This is exactly why I prefer tools that take a stance on what the right way to do something is. Even if I don't like some aspect, I at least have a little confidence the author thought hard about a corner case and made a well considered dec

I can strongly second this, just saw it a month ago. Its hard to appreciate just how big this boat was until you're standing under it. And the 'excavation' process was quite incredible, made possible by the amazing preservation properties o

Java generics _are_ ugly, but I'd rather write Java with them than without them.

I've read about Kernel before, but this time I wondered if $vau is in any way related to 0 from Jot (the turing tarpit best apparently best used as a Goedel numbering). Maybe I should just write jshutt...

http://semver.org/ Version numbers are useful. They allow you to communicate a lot about the risk/reward involved in an upgrade without having to read the release notes. When presented with 2.3.12 -> 2.3.45 it's a pretty easy call to

Am I the only one reading that the article implies biological systems are capable of acting as nondeterministic Turing machines for NP problems? I'll agree that there's something slightly magical feeling about being alive, but theres seriou

Futures make for an interesting 'batch' RPC API - queue up a bunch of RPC calls by returning Futures instead of values, and when one is forced send them all across the wire. This is a great way to add batch functionality to an API that didn

I discovered my biggest complaint about Opera last night: It's not completely obvious how to set up a SOCKS5 proxy. In Firefox it's as buried as you'd expect, but at least I never give up on it and use ssh/w3m to access private network site

I have a small boat (starfish). I sail it in smug bliss over my graceful mastry of the winds. Im a complete sucker for things like codifying board game rules in prolog, but that doesnt cross your mind when you are lord of the local waterway

Yes. Working on the same problem space for a long time can get boring, and a fresh face willing to take it on makes it worth the time investing in code reviews and mentoring to provide continuity for users. Professionally at least, I would

When I am feeling sad, it feels to me that it is bugs all the way down. Fixing one only makes that part of the code shine in contrast, still dark compared to the green fields of a new project. When Im happy though its like whack-a-mole, and

I'm coming at this with Java semantics, apologies if that just doesn't work for you :) I'd make the constructor private, and move the validation into a public static factory method on the same class that returns an Either.

His actual criteria for taking the time to find a bug is reasonable, but I take issue with the assertion that its not a bug in code he wrote most of the time.

I dont get this, its so often a bug, and so many people dont report bugs, this strategy of telling people to reboot or reinstall or redownload just perpetuates these voodoo-style fixes. Im not saying fix everything always immediately, but d

That is completely brilliant! I want to go out and write a image diff viewer that uses this on blobs in the image to detect pieces moving around!
