I have worked in a team which maintained and improved a legacy piece of software generating a few hundred million euros of yearly revenue. Not technically a website but a critical …

One can create the stored procedure and store it in an .sql file which can be version controlled like any piece of code. These can then be deployed in a number of ways.

Sounds like a terribly biased argument. Why would it kill for _thousands_ of generations?

I find this to be the optimal wow.

While an unorthodox merge strategy was used, this is what happens when you hole up in a topic branch for a long time. I bet this would've been easier had they merged smaller commit…

Correct.

In Finland, "for life" means 12 years.

> Frans Carbo, the prison guards' representative from the FNV union, says his members are "angry and a little bit depressed". Young people don't want to join the prison service he …

I'm a programmer because I enjoy it, my employer seems to value the results and I am relatively well compensated for my time. We should really make an effort to try to accommodate …

I don't really understand where the downvotes come from? I find the readability concerns legitimate, and would like to understand why compression algorithm developers feel like thi…

I find this hard to believe. You probably need to read the man page and perform the action over and over again. At least personally, I need to do thing X and to achieve that I know…

You could use this same argument to argue against testing software. If one of the people who "gets it" has written this piece of software then there should be no reason to test it …

I mostly agree with you but at least India is trying to move to nuclear[1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India's_three-stage_nuclear_po...

I don't follow your arguments. Is there an actual move of trying to ban SUV's in cities or is this something you've concluded yourself? Why shouldn't the industry be able to produc…

"I think we Millenials are, more than any generation before us, desperately in search of our great cause." Look no further, there's a global crisis of climate change that must be s…

Where I work, most of our development (includes building, testing and packaging) is done on remote machines to which we ssh to. Few people prefer gui ide's so most ssh and then run…

It seems to me you are not entirely objective on this. The studies (also mentioned in this article) seem to contradict your view.

Did you by chance read the article? This has little to do with opening up trade and much to do with providing ridiculous amount of power to any major corporation. EDIT: Suppose I'm…

This is a very generalizing argument. Universities are free (paid by taxes obviously) in Finland, but there is no such thing like what you describe. In here the only prerequisite i…

ASN.1 (PER) is also used in the EU eCall -system as the encoding protocol of the data between the on-board unit and the emergency call center.

And if such behaviour was ever found, the gas chamber ate another person. The Nazi government did not take well to dissenters, especially among the armed forces.

For linux users, install xclip from your flavor of package managers and then: transfer file.txt | xclip link is copied to your clipboard.

This sort of culture needs to be weeded out. We are perfectly able to create enough waste as it is, there should be no need to advocate this sort of mentality any further. Either d…

I agree with the pain points, for me they are unknown and that's also why it feels like I could sit down and write another communications app, but couldn't contribute to the energy…
