Using a content-type header instead of .json or .xml (etc) extension in the URL is just another example of this phenomenon. There's a reason people are moving to use dot extensions…

Funny - when looking at a codebase for the first time, I do almost exactly the same thing as described by Mr Seibel: I start rewriting it. I rename functions or methods that I thin…

While powershell is a valuable and interesting option, the problem with it is that it changes the basic metaphor. For 40 years unix shells and their descendants and derivatives inc…

That headline ought to read "Voyager reaches beginning of interstellar space". The interstellar space is the space between solar systems, so it would be impossible for the craft to…

Today's embedded is not tomorrow's embedded. In 10 years your sunglasses will have more compute power and memory than today's smartphone .

The OP seems to be very willing to draw general conclusions when none are warranted. When faced with a project in which code modularization was a problem, his proposed solution was…

People suggesting that Go is a potential replacement for Python, Lua or Ruby are missing the point. IMO, Go isn't designed to compete with those existing languages for existing opp…

This is pretty typical of the series. There are 3 or 4 drivers to a car for the Le Mans race (24 hours continuous racing). Two or 3 of those will be professional drivers, and one i…
