Agile isn't about planning. It's about managing/controlling developers.

And that's what usually go so wrong that the solution is even worse than the problem

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

If it's capable of processing data in any way, people figure out a way to get it to run Doom. Get a level in while your machine boots

Some folks try to make progress on the current status quo by arguing that, since human error is inevitable (people make mistakes!), it should be the beginning of the investigation, rather than the end. It's too hard to try

In an infinite Universe, all paths, no matter how improbable, will eventually be explored. Given that some of these paths are "wrong", Universal avoidance of error is impossible.
Only in a finite Universe would it be possible (though not probable) to completely avoid error.

Light Pattern is a programming language where one communicates with the computer through photographs instead of text. What. The. (and I mean this with all due respect) Elephant?
"The language is unusual in that it's nearly impossible to write the same program exactly the same way more than once; even when the program functions identically, the photos that make up the source code will be different every time a program is constructed." <-- yeah, I'll get on converting Word over to using it right away.
Of course then you'd have to use photos of a PowerPoint slideshow containing the images, of course.

There are three leading C++ frameworks for consuming and implementing Windows Runtime types. A C++ programmer with opinions? That must be rare!

The new macOS includes updated apps and some multitasking enhancements. "'Cause the free wind is blowing through your hair"

Does it have rounded or square corners?

You can’t have a proper OS these days without rounded corners, can you?

Negative engineering is the time-consuming and sometimes frustrating work that engineers undertake to ensure the success of their primary objectives. Are you positive?
|

Negative engineering: the code someone else wrote
Positive engineering: the code you wrote to fix the mess they wrote.
Reading that article, it's like watching the decaying orbit of a satellite - it goes round and round and never gets to the point, eventually to simply burn up in the atmosphere of a planet named "WTF Are You Talking About?"

Naming things is sometimes said to be the hardest problem in computer science. Now, someone is trying to make that task easier. An 'i' by any other name would iterate as well

Interesting.
I care about naming in code, precisely for the reason mentioned here: reduce cognitive load.
Code is hard enough to read and understand as it is, no need to obfuscate further.
Be that as it may, a client of mine sends out reports to customers.
One report for each type of research they do.
Now they have one client who wants all their research results in one report rather than separate reports.
I named this variable allInOne and thought that was pretty clever.
A few days later I slapped myself on the head.
Something like combineResults would've been so much more clear.
It's literally what they want, combined results, and it's literally what I do, combine results.
Why didn't I think of that the first time?
Naming is hard.
I've used coding standards, underscores for fields, curly brackets on new/same line, always use brackets for blocks, PascalCase, camelCase, etc., but I've never used naming standards.
I'll think about this and try to incorporate this in my day to day work

Remember the two hardest problems in computer science are:
1) Cache invalidation.
2) Naming things.
3) Off by one errors.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A new report from Datadog has found that serverless computing could be entering the mainstream with over half of all organizations using serverless on one of the three major clouds – Amazon, Microsoft and Google. I'm using serverlessless, myself
Or maybe servermore, it's hard to tell these days

Scientists estimate there are billions of free-floating planets in our galaxy, and we should investigate them for signs of "cosmic hitchhikers," one scientist has proposed. Or they might be large ice cream cones according to my "research"
The Puppeteers might be out there, though.

If you have money, I have some 'research' that says what you want!

I just hope that the Kzinti aren't out there, too.
EDIT: Kzinti, not Kzin

Building off of the 1.0 release in November 2021, we’re excited to bring several new features and capabilities to the Windows App SDK while increasing its stability & performance. For those who ignored the 1.0 release, now you can ignore the 1.1 release
