Are they really believing their own lies now? More likely they're trying to manipulate clueless lawmakers at this point. They can't afford to let the circus end.
Very nice account of the history behind vi and vim. Also some special mentions of Emacs and why it has such a different lineage.
This is indeed a nice tool to explore and check the memory layout of data structures.
Interesting way to look at solving recurrence rules in iCal.
Good tips for time management indeed. I apply some of those but think I will borrow some extras from this article.
Looks like an interesting game engine. Didn't know about its existence.
Indeed a good reminder that TDD might not be possible to properly apply at the physical boundaries of the system.
If you're asked a broad project estimate, building a very fine grained user story list is likely not the best approach.
This is funny how this article written a long while ago now is still relevant... These are all good reasons for reading Kent Beck's book about XP.
Struggling with TDD? Really feel like you need to write the implementation first? This is a fine approach. One caveat though, you have to be very disciplined in the way you uncomment the code, otherwise you'll quickly loose the benefits.
Maybe something good will come out of the political turmoil around the CVE Program. This would be nice to see it more independent indeed.
They keep being fascinating to me. Nice reflections showing how they can impact regular systems as well. I wonder why OCaml seems to be so prevalent in that space though.
I willadmit it... I laughed. And that's just one business risk among many.
Interesting architectural proposal for highly portable C++ based libraries.
This model is probably still a better one than certifications or very heavy processes. Far from perfect of course, but at least it gives a compass to teams to see if they're going in the right direction.
If you forgot that the memory allocator can matter greatly depending on your workload.
Nice little comparison of raw loops and ranges in C++. As always, measure before making assumptions... Unsurprisingly it ends up on the usual readability vs performance debate.
You like having surveillance camera roaming around town? Well, you're covered...
A few interesting tricks to apply to Java code. Some I already did, but the proposed model for algebraic data types I might add to my bag of tricks.
Very nice deep dive into the reasoning behind a wavy gradient effect. It shows the best effect have several layers of refinements and tricks. Each trick is explained separately nicely, this is a good read.
