  • OO Software design epiphany - it might not matter
    U User 2893688

    Maybe you should read Mythical Man Month. OS, System Software Embedded and Drivers are areas where OOD has had small success because most companies haven’t figured out how to do it right on those spaces. But ironically the rise of NextStep and the fall of OS/2 teach us that it’s worth the risk investing on OOD on those spaces. So don’t be hard on yourself for NOT GETTING IT where others can. You just live in a different paradigm and adjusting takes time. Just remember how many iterations Coca Cola has had with Coke Zero just trying to emulate the original taste in a sugarless environment.

  • Can quantum computers be applied to bitcoin mining
    U User 2893688

    Kudos to E(ugene).C. Myers... apparently he has written a lot about the potential for Quantum Physics on Crypto. Sadly QuantumCoin.com takes you to [http://ecmyers.net/novels/\](http://ecmyers.net/novels/) which is empty, which means he's still writing a book and set the record straight that he has the edge on this.

  • Supporting IE11... still.
    U User 2893688

    Two things, my friend. 1. If they are using IE-something, it means this is a public machine nobody has cared to give maintenance, so it's always slow and people don't expect otherwise 2. Using polyfills was supposed to be an interim solution, since as it's author suggested "if you removed the polyfill script, your code would continue to work, without any changes required in spite of the polyfill being removed" which, of course, is impossible in modern context. So most normal polyfillers like core-js and CSS3 PIE use lots of convolution to make this work. With that in mind, the appropriate way to go is to avoid polyfills altogether and start creating more basic "shims", that will actually break the site if not found. Since nobody has the time to do those, I would suggest you use a "critical path" approach. Since you want your WEBSITE TO BE BROWSED BY EVERYONE, BUT NOT EVERYWHERE, just consider this. Target IE11 for essential pages that give an overview of your company and its services. Any deeper links are safe Chrome only, as they will be visited by the stakeholders on their own devices, including iOS and Android. Remember that if a page is just tooo slow on the common machine, anybody can fire up a browser on its phone and get the missing content.

  • Roman Empire: The reason of the lack of technology
    U User 2893688

    Just define what you mean by "technology". As you mentioned, they had plenty of common things shared with the 18th century, but not with centuries before, that we take for granted today which can be considered technology. To give some examples: - All roads were paved with marble which was an analog to modern concrete paving. - Homes in Crete and Pompeii have been found with Glass Windows. - Aqueducts carried fresh clean water and home sewerage was freely available. - Propaganda and even advertisements were plastered in the wall. - A full electoral and democratic system was in place, similar to the constitutional monarchies of the late 18th. - Carriages were modern, structured and a full profession was set to tend them and care for them. - All public plazas and city streets were illuminated at night using several types of oil lamps - Intercity communication was accomplished by a structured system led by the Military which was organized and heavily equipped. - Reading and writing was common place and a detailed calendar was used. - Scientific schools and libraries were heavily maintained and most knowledge was open sourced. - Public performances and (some) freedom of expression was carried out. So yes, they didn't have planes, trains nor automobiles, but remember that all of these required a prolonged time of peace and stability which couldn't be achieved until after the end of the Napoleonic wars and was broken by World War One. So basically what happened was that the convoluted 18 century was followed a dramatic beginning of the 19th century, but once the ideas of the French Revolution took hold during the reign of Napoleon III and most of Europe was involved in the Spring of Nations, the liberal way of thinking prevailed and free enterprise transformed the monarchical Europe since the Middle Ages into the Modern Europe of the 19th Century, on the Roman side, the Empire started on the wrong foot with the intervention of Palestine in the 1st and 2nd Century. Things literally went South when Christianity prevailed and the downward spiral ended with the divesture of the Empire in the 6th century. 1000 years had to pass for things to settle down and things could return to the "Old Normality". Would that be the case today? \#YouTellMe

  • c# var
    U User 2893688

    Actually your example is quite interesting, as it isn't really a String but rather Uri. The correct way to declare it would have been

    using System;

    ...
    Uri url = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com/");

    WebRequest wr = WebRequest.Create(siteUri);

    But as you might have figured, you could have just used this instead

    var url = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com/");

    var wr = WebRequest.Create(siteUri);

    or just

    var url = "http:// www. contoso.com/";
    var request = WebRequest.Create (url);

    Place the file in S3 and then restrict the access to a certain Token. Create a simple app in Angular that retrieves the file using the token. Given them the Token. Check the access log. This will take you take some time but you can leverage this method from this day forward.

  • Do containers mark the beginning of the end for VMS and possibly C# and Java ?
    U User 2893688

    You're kinda hovering on the idea, but it was close but not cigar. Java and .NET Core (not really C#) are meant to be platform agnostic as they compile themselves to an Intermediate Language (bytecode for Java and CIL for .NET) before being executed by their runtimes. All other hardware is seen through a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) which hides the details and intricacies from the software. VMWare and EC2, on the other hand, abstract a full PC environment into a virtual solution which also includes the operating system. Is this last component that really makes a differences and the reason this solutions will never go away. Docker on the other hand is simply a simulation created on Linux to trick software into thinking that they are isolated from the hardware, but actually are just a Linux process shielded with lots of tags and chroots. This does not make the binary portable nor it creates a full operating system, but rather uses the OS from the host. Malware loves this approach and that's the reason it can't be used on dubitable loads. I guess in the end, Docker will change things and Java (or any equivalent) in the future, will look more like Docker, where you'll both create the Java Virtual Machine and a Docker container to accompany it, with a single command aka

    java container start com.example.HelloWorld -baseimage ubuntu:breezy

  • Old systems in the wild. They hurts.
    U User 2893688

    You landed on one of the key elements of the Digital Transformation. It's no longer just about IT, systems, solutions and code. It's actually the Data that is far more useful than the code itself as in the future, they might be no code at all :wtf: With AI and ML trained to recognized patterns, basic (and not so basic) systems like robbery reports will be reduced to inference-engine driven Chatbots with no interface at all. You might even ask Alexa to report something was stolen with thousands upon thousands of synonyms meaning just a single object. Date and time might also be inferred by your response (e.g. "Late night yesterday my 2012 red Honda was stolen from my porch"). Cross reference will show what car type was it ("Honda Civic"), nameplate ("KFC-12345") and where's your porch (Alexa would know your address). Late night yesterday will be between 10:30pm and 12:00am as people will mention "after midnight" if it happened afterwards. So, better buckle up, because "Coding… where we're going we don't need Code" BTF: To be continued BTF: Theme Song

  • "Suckehihaw" the new name for code so bizarre you laugh, or cringe, when you read it ?
    U User 2893688

    If you're still using GOTO and/or BASIC my deep condolences. There's no place for either one of them in modern Object Oriented or Aspect Oriented Programming. Alas, any hyperlink to an internal anchor in a web page is a GOTO statement and #HashTags on Twitter and Facebook are actually the parameter for GOTO searches on them. So GOTO is not going the way of the dodo, just transforming itself into something useful.

  • Absurdity of the Day
    U User 2893688

    Seems you have lived under a Rock. Microsoft has changed lots of products names just to fit the current trend. For example, Office 365 was once called Office Live and the domain still exists (live.com) and it's been used by what used to be called Office Online Apps. A long time ago, a friend of mine developed a quasi game for NeXT computer. As you might not know, all applications in the NeXT and all it's descendants (macOS, iPadOS, tvOS, etc) are really a Unix folder with the extension *.app and inside you'll find several executables which are simple chmod 755 files. Long story short, he crated the Nap.app which would a screen saver like system which would allow you to fly above the clouds, like in a dream. Several friends of mine tested it and wanted a port to Windows 3.11, so he worked hard to change everything from Objetive C into C++. Regardless to say, he had no sleep for like 10 days, just to have something working in Win32. Rendering on Windows was horrendous and he decided to code using a DOS lib which triggered full screen and draw directly into the hardware using CGA or VGA. The end result was waay worse than in the NeXT but the market was waaaay bigger, kinda like today doing things for iOS on Obj-C or Swift or going the Electron route for Android. In the end, the Application was still named Nap.app but installed itself into a NAPAPP folder and inside there was the NAP.EXE executable, which behaved like a DOS program. When he started testing everybody complained that the name sounded like NAPALM and NAP.EXE sounded like a gas chamber (you know they make you sleep before they EXEcute you. Ironically you could run the program with just NAP, but still people complained. He then realized that you could the name the program folder NAP.APP as DOS allows extensions on names, but when he made the change, people start confusing the installed folder with a document and tried to open it on Windows Notepad or WordPro, to a very big error. So he decided to change the name to WLKINCLD after the 1995 Movie "A Walk in the Clouds". Nobody got the reference but that's when Windows 95 got Long File names so he packaged everything with InstallShield and changed the name (again) to "Your Walk in the Clouds" so it can appear that way on the Start Menu and on c:\Program Files and promptly got a 20th Century Lawyer "cease and desist". Bummer. By that time and having spent 5
