A meal is a pretty simple fixed-cost item from a retail outlet, not a service with a complex set of dependencies and shifting requirements. The cost of the meal is predictable to the seller - dynamic pricing has only…
As an old school Free Software kinda guy, I was a little shocked at the lack of enthusiastic support for "if you do not own the source code, you are not in control". From where does this apathy come?
Remember COBOL's EXHIBIT?
Java is swell and all, but having seen how the vendor treats even their large customers, I could never in good conscience recommend them to anyone I do business with. Better to miss out on the latest features and work…
All Operating Systems suck. Linux sucks less for things I care about, and has done for a long time - much longer than 7 years for my purposes. I too am required to use a Windows machine for work, which seems to get…

The child predators are not stalking the adult forums. They're in the "for kids" ones. This "protect the kids" nonsense needs to be called out for what it is - a sham.
Microsoft has long been a company where the left hand and the right hand are not well coordinated. It'll be interesting to see if they can reconcile the "everything must be AI" mantra from the executives with the…
I concur.
I guess Scumbag College's University Challenge performance must have edged them out.
It's long gone the time people should stop doing business with Oracle.
Exactly. Much of the discourse around this topic has described ideal testing and deployment practise. Maybe it's different in Silicon Valley or investment banks, but for the sorts of companies I work for (telco mostly)…
> the situations in which you need to use it are likely cursed. So true, and yet so common.
I used to use it on HP-UX in the 90s.
You forgot all the other prompts that ssh might produce before the password prompt (e.g. add new host to known hosts yes/no). There are more possible prompts than most people realize.
It /was/ nice and quick. Thanks for putting the demo online. It was quick to tell me complete nonsense. Apparently 7122 is the atomic number of Barium.
I through it would be a nice idea to have lights polarised vertically and screens polarized horizontally... scattered light gets de-polarized so object illuminated by the lights would still be visible through screen,…
In the late 90s I worked for a vendor of CRM software. A fair bit of billing and payment-handling code was written in COBOL. Wasn't mainframe - ran on a couple of flavours of proprietary Unix. The COBOL compiler vendor…
The market economy deserves not one iota of credit for the Free Software I have written (millions of downloads). It was produced and donated to the world in spite of the market economy, not because of it.
ctrl-f linux Nope. >:(
Pico was based on MicroEmacs 3.6. Nano is an open source clone of Pico - there's definite DNA in that series. I'm assuming not in this new Micro, but it's faintly amusing that the name seems to be a play on something…
And I did cringe, and then I thought it looked kinda fun. It would literally never have occurred to me in a million years to try to start a shell script half way though - so trapped am I in the paradigm of the familiar.…
Our problems are as much cultural as political. There's a deep cynicism in the British psyche which consumes creative industry.
There are some specialized industries left - aerospace & pharmaceuticals are fairly prominent, but the days of the UK being a manufacturing power are long gone.
"A lathe operator forges parts...". Anyone else cringe at this?
