That's because AI allows poor programmers to appear as good programmers, which is actually a good thing as otherwise they'd be writing crap you'd have to code-review, but their understanding of what is good code is…
"Why didn't the semantic web happen?" I have literally been doing we development since their was a web, and the companies I developed for are openly hostile to the idea of putting their valuable, or perceived valuable,…
I'd be willing to bet that the problem is the work isn't getting done. I've seen this many times now. No one is going to care how much you time you spend walking your dog if you're getting your work done - you only draw…
I see this too, and not just post-COVID. 10+ years ago we used to have "Let's Learn This Now!" where the developers would agree on particular subject and then learn and discuss it on our own time, and occasionally it…
Tomte, thanks, not particularly for the original reference to the article about smell, but for directing us to the person in question and all the great stuff she has written. I got lost for an hour an 45 minutes. Thank…
Ah, I see you've learned quite well from them!
Makes me want to go code...
But it hasn't really dropped off since earlier today.
Kind of makes me wonder - why let up? Can it be mitigated at all? Wouldn't they have done so by now. Be interesting if they just kept piling it on until they've got the whole internet on it's knees.
ARPANET is nothing like the monstrosity we have today.
Quarter of a million?! Maybe in 2009. Now, 1/2 a million.
Until you've had to kill people yourself, seen the results, and lived with yourself afterwards, I don't think you have anything to say about what someone else has been in that situation and decided not to kill that day.
>> I don't get why this was deemed an accident. << Reading the story, there is this little voice saying in the back of my head, "They don't want to treat it as a crime because they know who has it and they're in…
I have mixed feelings about this, but I cannot disagree with it. a. I haven't written a program in C in over 10 years. I wrote software 5 days a week for those 10 years. b. I wouldn't want to write a program in C now.…
That has to be a joke. By pursuing this Oracle just makes themselves look like idiots to anyone who actually has an technical knowledge. So, they're idiots.
Uhhh, apparently Spencer Gundert is too young to remember all the other times there have been election fraud (Bush-Florida) and the brew-ha-ha over the crappy voting machines we've had for way too long. Drop in the…
I have nothing to add but what a great post.
I'm going to be a contrarian here and say that if unit tests, in most cases, made economic sense they'd be a given in almost all software development. But they're not. Do we assume business owners are dumb? Do we assume…
"...but let's have a productive conversation." Okay, I'll bite. With a web browser, a DOM, and Javascript, where do you see this all heading that's full of truth and beauty? Where does the churn end if it's not…
What isn't being said, and is painfully obvious to me, is that almost everything the article talks about wouldn't be happening if a. Browsers had a decent UI capability, and b. Javascript wasn't a piece. And to what…
Some payment gateways offer "gateway recurring billing" where the credit card data is stored at the gateway not on your most likely less secure servers. Ashley Madison could have done that and avoided some of the damage…
I can't think of two many companies that are more irrelevant to the future of computing. What does IBM actually do anymore? Seems to me they just need legions of consultants and cheap developers to bleed their customers…
It's no longer a business issue, and if it is, then Apple is just posing. Apple's positive affect on our economy, our technology, and even our nation, would make such a line that our government would have to think long…
Thank you, and I'm proud of Lavabit. They're at the top of my Balls list now.
I originally learned about the Enigma from Len Deighton's "Blood, Tears, and Folly" (http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Tears-Folly-Objective-World/dp/0...). In it he doesn't even mention Turning, and gives full credit to the…
