At first I thought it said "Overcooked no more" and assumed it was another article about another rocker swearing off the drugs, but no, it's another article about a woman who did something along with a dozen or more…
I just love that not only they copyrighted it, they even give excuses for it. You can't copyright someone else's work, regardless of how long you took to reverse-engineer it from disassembled binaries. Obviously the…
Someone decided to create a solution and then started looking for problems that will fit it. Finding none, they invented one.
That's some deep theosophical kung-fu you bring there, grasshopper. But seeing as the words of the Torah existed before the creation of the world, it might just be that you are correct.
I'm waiting for the sequel, Gutenberg used the same characters as in C, making him the first C programmer.
In many ways, the title is an example of a deeply flawed meta-analysis.
This is a weird one, but it seems the point isn't "Broken features aren't used" but rather "unused features don't get maintained and tend to break" and also the point of the article isn't broken features but "on whether…
I was more surprised by the title of the article than by the content of it. Looks like editors are writing "ready-to-reddit" headlines now.
I think the author, being a Java guy is using OO and Java as a reference point, not arguing that "this isn't applicable to non OO development". Basically he's saying that remembering the principles and practices is…
The rationale is, that once you have a programming language that is implemented in itself (usually that means that the compiler/interpreter is written in that language), then it means that your language has tackled and…
First thing I look for whenever I run across another "C competitor" is to look which language it is implemented in. Usually that's C, or C++, but this time, it does look like Crystal is implemented in Crystal, which is,…
I think there's something in the LBW rules about intent, not to mention the whole concept of "where would've the ball gone has it not been etc. etc." I personally dislike the whole fixation over minutiae in Cricket…
How does adding support for JSON types work with the Unix idea?
Actually I have. And that's a different issue, but also very annoying.
I'm not thinking style, or quality of music, but stardom. If this was the late 80's we'd use Madonna, or the mid-60's Beatles etc.
"A biography of a major cultural figure should not start by sounding like a performing arts undergraduate describing themself on Twitter." That's the quote of the article for me. I think there is way too much emphasis…
I don't get the 'yuck'. Everything else you wrote is more-or-less on the mark. He was a known celebrity. Although to a degree, we need to remember this isn't Beyonce appearing before stadiums of tens of thousands fans,…
I've seen a few concerts with "fortepiano"s. They needed to be retuned during the performance and looked very diminutive and fragile compared to a modern piano.
I don't know who was the better pianist, but Liszt is definitely a better composer.
This has always been a pet-peeve of mine, watching sports replays. When re-run in slow motion, some tackles seem more aggressive, mostly because of the body motion of the "victim" being exaggerated, while others look…
I use it, as a terminal editor, whenever I can. On my machines I use it instead of vi(m), and if I have control over a remote machine, there as well, I only use VI if a server doesn't have nano and I can't install it.
Technically email isn't federated. Like the web you have an email server that hosts an email address and all mail to and from go to it, and while you can IMAP to it through a client, and host a "mirror" of it, to…
People don't want to use these services. People have to use them, as there is no other method. Had the web's been decentralized from the get-go, and someone would come with a centralized service, you'd find the…
This will not work. The whole "prototype" idea assumes once you grow out of the "prototype" phase you have the time, money, manpower, etc. to rewrite the whole thing based on solid, powerful technology and tools. That…
I think this is a recipe for disaster. First, there are basic things that you should do from the get-go, e.g. not using globals. Second, the problem with "eventually I'll do it right" is that by that time, your stuff is…
