Get a life. Oh, excuse me, was my sarcasm too transparent?
Hell is other people.
You'd rather the suicides use more primitive implements? If you are done with things a gun is pretty painless and nearly certain. Everything else should have warning labels.
hegel: The dialectic, which he 'enhanced' and marx the material dialectic. Is the dialectic valuable in abstract and is it even reasonably accurate as a model for thought and human decision making?
Back in the 90's and early oughts no one thought of writing code this way. It was counter productive. I'd suggest that it is still counter productive to consider SDLC concepts when writing pet code: great idea or not.…
Yes, and this is utter shit. You want to push CDN bandwidth constraints onto consumer networks in some p2p model and trust the content coming out of it? The idea is ridiculous in every aspect except for those who don't…
That is a fascinating world to me. I've about 25 years C, rudimentary intel x86 asm and good ability to understand new hardware. Seems to me that at 40+ this is an industry that I could still be of use in. Any pointers?
There is only one way to go there. Start a consultancy and be your own boss. That is about it for us older folks. Most of your customers don't want stellar code: they want you to fix what is broken (which is simple…
This is where some knowledge as a syseng or SA comes in very handy. Programmers tend to come up with cool solutions to a problem in their wheelhouse but it may not be the most cost effective or efficient solution.…
These design|use patterns depend entirely on a level of abstraction facilitated by code you don't understand and I have seen this bite people badly. Using redis or memcache or whatever semi-persistent , network…
For most operational purposes there isn't a crying need for optimizations and handwritten assembly outside the kernel but a good programmer must at least recognize where something like this is called for and be able to…
No one I know in my world uses Facebook and we only use Google for search because the experience with other engines are lackluster. Give me a better search engine and I'll use that if the obvious abuses aren't too…
Agreed. I feel like I've missed my retirement date because I started professional IT late (97) but started coding in the 80s.... There is a train wreck coming|ongoing for this industry that I don't think will be…
When I was doing routing and switching Cisco was still undisputed king and I never had to do anything more than IGP routing. Still, at the time, using two protocol stacks (IPX/SPX and TCP/IP) and redistribution into…
My eyes.
whois -h whois.radb.net '!oMAINT-AS15169' | awk '/^route/ { if ($0 !~ /::/) {a++}} END {print a}' Fixed that for you.
Be a guy who can do within 2 hours of a request in a way that leaves everyone satisfied. That is hard: you have to be very good. To be very good you spend 4-10 years of your life doing nothing but writing code,…
You know what? If you aren't ready to invest in infra you are out for the buck and worth a damn. I won't even mention cloud in a meeting anymore. It is plain fraud.
Same here. Philosophy and coding much later. All through my twenties Aristotle to Sartre, read every page twice and reduce to comprehensibility in context.
My sides.
Too literal. It's the file system syscalls translated into node which are the problem. Anytime you have the potential to block you lose the relatively clean event loop and enter libuv which is a thread provider.…
I'm sorry, what don't you understand? Complexity is best discussed by those who introduce it. To be clear: I said js is misplaced on the 'server' side and is a wart in general when applied in that context. Any educated…
No. We should collectively evaluate competency and correctness of a developer and language for it's best purpose as in any adequately run job interview.
I agree with this. I've seen the same but the core problem is we don't learn from others mistakes: we prefer to rely on our own tool-making skills to demonstrate increased facility while making similar mistakes. The…
Sure it does. Ask a direct question get a direct answer. Backend and file systems, network and systems middleware do not need the abstraction model and overhead of a language designed to add dynamic content to fucking…
