..and this is the problem. The assertions of escape. I don't understand it. I would write prose the same way Jack Vance (did) and Gene Wolfe (does) if I could write. There can be one true way for the expression of…
That's why you need an ADT for strings. I've seen this problem (and experienced) this problem multiple times. Any char array needs explicit termination based on use.
This shows the state of domain knowledge in the industry. This is why people like me still exist because despite the huge progress in programming sophistication basic concepts escape everyone.
Bill Gates: started as programmer ended as laughingstock.
In general you seem like an absurd sort of creature. Neither here nor there. Bragging about your facility and business velocity. Everything you claim to do sysadmins were doing in 98 and with equal velocity and adequate…
Good for them.
Well, having an indoor cat means keeping an indoor cat happy which is a larger problem (for the caretaker) but indicative of the meta supremacy in house cat behavior. In all seriousness I would rather take the time to…
I think you can figure this out. Not about design, about determining demand/profit, data collection, and control.
It's not that sysadmins cannot do the work you are rightfully proud of. If there are two basic things that differentiates your statements from those of a traditional sysadmin it is these. 1. Design. 2. Discipline. Where…
Let's see. 1. They get my browser transmitted information as corollary to my browsing habits which they then resell, pester me with, and analyze in order to create a dialectic which is flawed, impersonal and does not…
Actually the parasite infestation (fleas), lack of affection and food when they want it (except through hard work), temperature variations, etc...make the barn cat a misanthrope. Every house cat owner knows that the…
You have deep technical ladders and they may make sense in a place like Google. Who knows. I've seen a couple young men I've mentored go to work at Google and don't hear anything negative from them. Any code anywhere is…
And you are definitely not a sysad or any sort of sysadmin. The core mission of a sysad is to build the best environment possible while restricting that environment. You seem to be the sort of developer that developers…
Been working since 86 in this industry. You lose and gain and you should always be mindful of what is coming. Humility is good. I love you young guys, your ideas keep coming and they are mostly good.
I have shell libraries that generate code via here documents and other templating that are > 500 lines. That is about as far as I reasonably go. Note that these are function (and scope specific variables (with hopefully…
Once bitten, always shy, eh? Not saying you are overreacting because I remember the bug and it was bad news. I use C pretty much exclusively (and have for 20 years) but I would rather see new development for handling…
'It depends..' is a quagmire for the unwary. My route is to make a good rule about writing python with more than 'n' os., subprocess. and *.Popen calls automatically requiring shell script counterparts in case we find…
These types of pipelines are why bash and the traditional tools are so maligned. Expert knowledge of sed|(g)awk|bash tools is necessary otherwise you end up with companies telling you that you can't use them.…
Perfectly convenient, safe and fast. Pick any two. https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html I've told developers that if I catch them writing shell scripts in python they must commit a shell script doing the…
That is mind blowing for me in a couple ways. * You have (at least) seven tiered support structures. * You have only one 'competent' shell programmer in your 'reachable' project scope. No wonder these types of language…
