Marvellous! I tried an iPad Pro about half a year ago, but the lack of a good ssh/mosh client made me return it. Perhaps I'll need to check it out again -- especially the smaller Pro seems like it could be a fine choice now for a

Doesn't AWS constitute a total vendor lock-in?

Almost? They were well on that route already with the Surface line, and the latest events just hammered it in. If they get a good small (4,5" range) Surface phone out, I'm out of the Apple game for good :)

Java is promising but Cobol is here to stay. Kind of true, but one can rise in popularity while the other dwindles, even if not completely dying. Thing is that 90% of new developers who get to see both Rust and C++ will choose Rust.

I've felt that business requirements tend to be the sort of thing that benefit from code comments. Because too often you don't have time to create the whole machination that is required to fulfil some arbitrary business rule.

I've been using git professionally for a few years, and other distributed version controlling systems for more than a decade. This is the first time I see the phrase "staging area" in relation to VCS. Could you explain why it

Odd, I've had the opposite experience. In fact, so much that if I'm forced to work on OS X, I reach for Virtualbox and Vmware and choose to take the performance hit to just get my Linux desktop. I cannot quite put my finger on why

As someone who doesn't generally like PHP very much, I have to say that ZF1 was quite nice because of its simplicity. Too bad they abandoned it. Now ZF2-3 have nothing to distinguish themselves from the other frameworks.

Wealth is created by small companies too, perhaps even more so that the big ones. However, they don't have the resourcers to evade taxes like the big ones do. You realize what that means, right?

If that's the only thing keeping them afloat, very much better.

Well, the world ain't black and white. Taxes are immoral, but evading taxes is probably more immoral. How low the scales are on both these is dependant on who is ruling you at the moment. Managing to build our societies around a non-ch

Anyone know if they are planning to fix ==, < and >? I kinda feel that declare(strict_types=1) could and should fix those without too much trouble.

Why does it happen so often that the technically weak languages get picked and become widely used? Why Javascript? Is there something about technical superiority that makes less business value?
