Scheme is mostly used for teaching, but there are many production applications out there written in Lisp (Emacs for example). Also I'd like to mention Clojure, which is "lispy" and…

Depends whether you see it as a production method or an art/recreational activity. There can be both, and don't worry, hand-made products will always have a special value. Even if …

Shh... we don't talk about those dark ages any more. Times were different.

So true. My first job was in QA. Involuntarily, because I applied for a dev role, but they only had an opening for QA. I took the job because of the shiny company name on my resume…

I'd emphasize that it's a problem with your particular code base. If you set it up correctly, all dates are properly parsed at the boundaries and you would only deal with one type …

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it seems it is currently removed due to unclear bugs.

This is really nice, and I am impressed how much effort went into the documentation, to make the demo nice and interactive. At first I thought this is something new, because it's c…

Quick (and cheap?) hires are not necessarily good hires. In my experience (and my theory) developer productivity can range from 0.5x to 5x and more, and those developers in the upp…

I'm running two clusters on it, on for production and one for dev. Works pretty good. With a schedule to reboot machines every sunday for automatic security updates (SuSE Micro OS)…

yes, indeed, that's is also what I am curious about
