"make something new that for some magical reason wont also become hard to fix in the future" this is really well put. I wish people realized that if they are doing essentially the same thing folks prior did, they really will end

Have you engaged the graphviz team? Maybe the don't have graphs of that size as part of their test suite, and if you could donate some samples, they would fix the "crashy" behaviour. No software should ever be "crashy&qu

why not just put a couple paragraphs on top of the readme to explain what it is, what does it do, and add this link, instead of posting in a forum where nobody will see it.

Same as adding systems to capture sulfur in chimneys (which previously was causing acid rain), this seems like externalized cost that needs to be clamped down. The warehouses will need to eat the cost to capture the ethanol vapours.

There is so much risk associated with anything that Oracle touches, I suspect some very large organizations run the other way without really looking. Instead of Java, they switch to GoLang, and costs be damned. The real damage that Oracle c

Your regular tool is not my regular tool. Hell, maybe my regular tool today is not going to be all that regular in 3 years.

"Predominantly"? Why did you choose to use such an ugly word. As a consequence of occupation by Soviet Union, and prolonged Russification policies, there is a sizeable population share in Latvia who understand and speak Russian la

You think we are bootlickers like that, in Germany? You are mistaken.

I think the juxtaposition of modern writing and wit in Witcher with the not-really-medieval society stuck with pre-steam technology might be the catalyst for creating the Bardcore genre.

I think so as well. Having been so impressed with the longevity of our current devices (old SE), my next phone also will be Apple's. My Samsung S8+ has served me well, but Samsung has no clue how to play the software game.

The author's context is that he has no context. No frame of reference. Out of his element. I wonder who's more misguided, author, or the person who decided this link is worth posting.

There is "zero day" mentioned in the title, but nothing in the article text. I am confused: what does this has to do with "zero day" now? It's not "zero day" now, is it.

Think more like a member of guild. In fact, I am starting to think certifications like PCI DSS are similar to oath: "I will not leak customer data, I will not leak card information". If the oath is broken, the PCI retaliation is s

Maybe that's the point of this oath? Software engineers will refuse to work on these areas, unless demands of the oath can be met.

OK, there seems to be a parallel universe of computing where systemd, Kubernetes, gRPC and Protocol Buffers are considered bad. Time will tell if they have been right, or are sore dinosaurs.

There are certain practices that a company does, and various auditors have different opinions on it. For example, in PCI there are ways of interpreting certain requirements: and when you choose an auditor, you want one that agrees with your

Circuit breakers, retries, back-off. Monitoring, heartbeat detection, automated restarts when service is unhealthy. Here's a no-nonsense paper, and a lot can be relevant to a smaller company too: https://www.usenix.org/

It's a way for them to stay somehow relevant. I think the ones in cities will be gone once EV adoption takes off - people will charge while out shopping, when parked, etc. The chargers in rest stops/stations road side will be wher

If it's decoupled, it's plenty testable. Serverless covers 2 scenarios very well: when you have volume so low, that you don't want to pay for reserved capacity: if nobody is using the stuff, you pay next to nothing. And also

One of most clever things as a software developer that you can do, is to take a pay cut to go from "Full Time" employment to 32 hours a week employment, i.e., you say you will work 4 days a week, every Friday you're off. The

It's a trap. The problem with those old codebases that governments, hospitals, big businesses are struggling with is not really the language, it's the engineering practices of that time with regards to constraints of old technolog
