After working remotely for over a decade for multiple companies my conclusion is the biggest issue is finding managers who grok remote working. If the person in charge doesn't know…

There's chiselapp.com, but one of fossil's strengths is you don't need that kind of service. Just drop the fossil binary anywhere convenient and off you go.

If being easy to type is the criteria, I would suggest vij, vio, vil, vid or via, since that's where your fingers are likely to be after typing vi if you are touch typing.

This is an excellent vi-like editor. I've been using it for a while as a lightweight vim alternative and have few complains. The name choice is unfortunate, as it clashes with the …

I was a member of rentacoder, which was eventually acquired by freelancer.com. My account there dates back to 2002. I haven't been active there in a couple of years. The signal to …

You made me think of Smeg's 50's Style line of appliances. Not only are they, by far, the best looking appliances I've seen, they are also built to last a lifetime. Modern technolo…

For the better or the worse, Delphi has become the defacto standard Pascal implementation. Free Pascal aims to be compatible with it and Lazarus is pretty much a clone of Delphi 7.…

It's been a long time, but Marco Cantu's books are widely considered some of the best Pascal/Delphi resources available. Essential Pascal is his introductory book.

It's surprising how weak the Spanish government is. The obvious course of action would have been to arrest the entire leadership and charge them with treason and sedition. In Germa…

You'll always have a corner case or another. I wouldn't care about personal usage users. Case 2 clearly falls into the free usage policy, but in case 1 if the school is requiring s…

As I said, it was a moderately successful side business. I know of many cases in which the sale came from someone buying this on behalf of his employer years after he had first use…

Many moons ago I developed a moderately successful shareware program. My licensing terms were simple: If you owned the computer where you installed and used it no license was neede…

The preferred environment for Python development and deployment changes more than the latest trend in JavaScript frameworks.

It's useful to put Varnish in front of the app server for caching and to serve static content from a separate process (and domain) running a light/tiny httpd server instead of Apac…

Yes, I'm aware of that. I wasn't talking specifically about the data in the article but about Python's growth in general. I don't believe the popularity of a tag in a forum is a re…

Fellow 20+ years Python user here. Python adoption outside first world countries have always lagged considerably behind. A common pattern among technologies. I suspect a lot of tha…

Unfortunately OCaml itself has its own weird licensing issues being distributed under a combination of the QPL and GNU licenses. Every few years I take a look at it, notice the lic…

I learned to program using Borland Turbo C for DOS, but my first GUI applications were built with Delphi 2.0, which was the first 32-bit version. I earned my first money ever selli…

The digital native is not a myth, he's just going extinct. Back in the day the difference between a computer user and a computer programmer was, at best, blurry. You had to know ho…
