For those still not quite getting it: The first copy to RAM was a sequential image copy, thus not bottlenecked on seeks despite spinning platters. The second copy from RAM was a fi…

This is going to look bad. I'd better tase the corpse so I can claim I tried non-lethal means first, but the guy was unstoppable and I had to kill him.

Thanks for the handshake tone! The more, the merrier: did anyone archive examples from 1200bps up? I've also been fruitlessly searching for line noise examples ~~~~~}}~00 etc. Remo…

I think the most dangerous advice I got was to avoid DTOs and similarly domain-behaviour-free object graphs. That corner of the .NET world at the time called such a model an 'anaem…

The Sun 3/50's pixel buffer was world readable and writable by default, and in console mode had an area at the bottom not affected by scrolling. One could invert random horizontal …

The payments on technical debt never seem to come due when you expect, nor at the size you expect, hence arguments we should think instead in terms of unhedged call options, e.g. h…

On the other hand, there's every reason to believe the "Go [a]Way" prohibition on certain language features will leave Go 2 insufficiently attractive vs Go 1 to overcome the switch…

Ha! I'm like that with my QA people, begging them to come after me with a blunt weapon.

Many correlate "sane" with "statically typed". [1] JacaScript can cope perfectly well with modules A and B relying on different versions of C. It'll often cope even if A calls B wi…

We rolled our own Flux library before they published any code, dodging singletons and gaining mock-free testability. I just re-wrote it, but will check Flummox out.

Thanks for using your own account.
