It's a 30\70 split for managers too....

And yet most of us manage to deliver low quality software late....

How can I get my manager to read this, and actually believe it? I've been trying to get him to understand quality over quantity for a long time. But his priority is all about pleasing the people at the top.

The problem is how those Python, Javascript, Tcl, ... are going to handle all those error messages from the compiler about type mismatch, undefined symbols and all the other compile time stuff, if C# takes over.
Maybe they won't be able to handle all those pesky compile time warnings. Maybe they will simply reject to develop code where you have to relate to syntax errors before the code ships to the customer.
You can't argue it: Wasting resources on handling errors in an error handling routine for an error that never will occur is a waste, no matter how you look at it. So what is the gain in having a compiler force us to worry about it?

I think you're missing the point of type checking. The entire reasoning is that it makes certain classes of error possible to pick up during compilation, so you don't need to write handling code for those classes of errors, as the compiler has ensured they can never occur at runtime.

The new theory is based on the observation that more galaxies are spinning counterclockwise than clockwise, New Scientist reports, whereas previous models expected a balance between the two directions. Maybe that explains why I'm dizzy
|
|

|

I wonder: In the mirror anti-universe, would the majority of the galaxies spin clockwise?
Maybe the clocks are mirrored as well... How does that affect the direction of rotation?
Or, if we turn the clocks upside down?
Or even worse: What if we are using digigal clocks?

Pity that we can't report them for plagiarism over there... They would have required / still require a kick in the ass for that.

In addition to fueling my excitement about space travel, this launch also made me curious about the tech which goes in these rockets. I did some research from the Computer Science perspective and wanted to share what I found Just in case you want to become a rocket surgeon

Hard not to put a comment in about Boeing. Good for them it did not blow up as the prototype. And the previous versions. And the Tesla's.

Yeah, I hope they astronauts didn't see that prototype go up (the wrong way) the day before their launch.

Vortex lasers are named for the way light spirals around their axis of travel, thanks to a property known as orbital angular momentum "Come on twist again, like we did last year"
And here I thought just plain lasers were cool

When your module becomes bigger you want to divide its functionality into manageable components. C++20 modules offer two approaches: submodules and partitions. Let me discuss both approaches in this post. Nothing funny here, I'm just desperate for news items today

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but apparently one image is worth potentially thousands of headaches for Android users recently. That's...an interesting bug. Did the Boeing developers start working on Android?

I certainly hope they're not still working for Boeing!
