The rise of the Full Stack Office Developer
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?

You mean continuous deployment isn't what the customer wants? I'm stunned.

Yeah, all us users know we don't want it.
All them software pushers say we do want it.
Even though the Ivory Tower has been surrounded it still thinks it knows what we want, refuses to listen and insists it knows best.

What I dislike most is W10 will turn on a laptop that is in sleep mode with the lid closed, have it update itself, and then leave it on. All with the lid closed. I can not believe anyone thinks that is a good idea.

Yeah, it's crazy stuff on these updates. Complete take-over.

As we wind down work on standardizing the XML stack at W3C it’s worth looking at some of what we have accomplished and why. W3C XML, the Extensible Markup Language, is one of the world’s most widely-used formats for representing and exchanging information. The joy of angle brackets

When we talk about COBOL the first question on everyone’s mind is always Why are we still using it in so many critical places? "Math class is tough"
|
|
|
|
|
Given that some COBOL programs have been running (with successive modifications) successfully for over 40 years, if you were looking at rewriting that, which technology would you use that you felt confident may have anything like that longevity. I suspect that may be a major factor in its continued use.

That's a really good article!
For a great many of us, the inherent inaccuracy of floating point variables is never really an issue but when things get recursive those tiny little rounding errors can result in huge differences. The Muller recurrence sequence is an excellent example of the way that a series of marginal errors can suddenly explode into spectacular wrongness - the "butterfly effect" in full effect.
Similar things are going on somewhere in a computer system somewhere near you right now, albeit probably in a much less dramatic way. That's maybe something you don't want to ponder too deeply while the autopilot's flying your 'plane.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain
