Math has always relied on a few geniuses to set things straight, the rest is just noise.

a.k.a. the biggest prisoner's dilemma competition yet.

No it's not, it's narcissism. Look at me, I'm a computer engineer, I solve math problems all day, so I must be much smarter than everyone else. You think consultants don't have to think about the needs of their client? You think salesmen do

People underestimate the pain of database administration. If I can get a ready-to-go database in seconds my life is so much better. My only grudge against RDS is that it doesn't scale up from 0. It adds at least $80/month to your regular se

This nerd will simply wait for his (non-US) government to take that decision for him. I don't have any insight into the current state or effects.

Using PHP hits back at you after a few years when you find out all its libraries are slowly rotting, revealing fundamental security flaws that will give you unimaginable headaches. These days I select my languages purely by programmer compe

I'm just going to repeat it until every programmer in the world gets it: context is everything.

Programming is still a craft. If you want to know how it should be done, just look at the masters. Plenty of successful products out there that can serve as an example. Until we develop actual computer science (rather than calling publicly

Not programming is hard work. You will spend about 90% of your programming time integrating other software whether you like or not. By the way, the nr 1 rule is: context is everything. The nr 2 rule is: keep it simple.

At least Russian space-flight only requires guts, American space-flight also requires a good life insurance.

Wheels are quite unpractical. Their only advantage is that they require relatively little energy over long distances. However, why not reduce the need for long distances or not create it in the first place?

The question is: When do you generate the files? Regenerating a large number of file every time you modify something is just bad design (much like regenerating every time a document gets requested). You're better off having a tiny script on

I've used the web for too long to hate IE. Not after all it did. IE4 introduced the UI control that allowed you to build full-blown applications in your browser using server-side processing. IE5 introduced the scripting that allowed you to

They gave it to Arafat, Kissinger and quite a few other warmongers, so it didn't have that much value to lose. Although it's a tad bit early and it would have been nicer as a reward for peace-making achievements, he also embodies the world'

Awful, why didn't they do that 10 years earlier? I thought I just didn't understand the power of having dozens of tiny windows. Now I feel scammed.
