Velocity is only measured by the value you introduce. Incorrect code decreases value.

No. They want users to become customers AND products.

You might want to have a look at Voxatron[1], the 3D version of Pico-8, that you get as a bonus when you buy a license of Pico-8. [1]: https://www.lexaloffle.com/voxatron.php

Without a blink, McAfee. This abomination has the ability to put more than decent computer into a miserable slug. I cannot imagine how much my client would have saved in productivi…

> Good software is reusable. I can import functions from 1,000,000 different npm modules all into my project and they don't fuck with each other, right? I just spent the whole day …

HTML is not a programming language, it's a markup language. And SQL is Turing complete.

That's more subtle, as individual anonymized data point can not identify an individual, but a linked set of those can, with a very high percentage of confidence. Facebook can alway…

Oh, and don't forget to share our article using the little facebook widget at the bottom...

Is it just me or does this recommendation reads more like a medium blog post from some developer advocate than like a formal specification ?

P5 is indeed the official port of Processing for Java (Processing.js being an independent attempt from John Resig). But like Processing, P5 is more about artistic realisations than…

The only, and still unmatched, advantage of using applets was having access to external devices, such as smart card readers, in order to be used with eID, for example. This is not …

Const exists too, but for compile-time constant. Var and val are ok due to the general conciseness of the language (they don't get lost in the noise of other ceremonies). Plus, bei…

I don't know... Jenkins? I mean, it is battle tested, has all the features you mention, plus pipeline of tasks, is extensible, can be clustered if needed, and, as a bonus, can serv…

Thing is, by the time you have to take back this application for maintenance, chances are high that the then mainstream framework will be outdated, newcomers won't even know it, th…

No, they don't. Behind the scene, it's Lucene that is creating a set of inverted indexes. While extremely performant for text search, it is also destructive and partial comparing t…

Going that direction, one could argue that what you open source might not be what you are running in production.

Uh. Do you mean that, because a project is open source it has to limit itself to the lowest common denominator (not targeting git specifically here) rather than aspire to a better/…

> I can certainly understand things like nude photos, sex tapes, etc. but we already have legal means of dealing with those examples. Can someone convince me why this law is necess…

In git, when you rewrite your history, the old version is gone (well, you still have the revlog for 30 days, but then it's basically over). This is why some commands like `git push…

Again, wrong. Encoding without proper context means "convert in a coded form". Hum that's not exactly what we want. So, let's add the "computing context", now we have, as an exampl…

Put yourself in the shoes of an inexperienced mathematician solving its first theorem. You've been advised to take care of infinity as described with two parallels crossing at infi…

This whole post is ridiculous. The problem he poorly tries to described has been solved by mathematicians a few millenniums ago. In a single word: CONTEXT. A word is nothing if not…

flywaydb is not even as good as pure SQL scripts. It is mainly designed to be a forward-only tool. I honestly doubt anyone with some database background would recommend it.

I do use it. Primarily because it more widespread in the Java world than other competitors,and more easy, in the syntax, to start with. You might also be interested in DB-Main [0] …

I wish my current coworkers wrote any comment in there commit message...
