The day you convince me I can get more productivity out of two programmers programming together than two programmers programming separately is the day I’ll consider pair programming.

I’ve been in this industry for 40 years. It hasn’t happened yet.

I don’t know, but I definitely built some unguided missiles back in my model rocketry days. Always the most expensive models, too!

OP, could you update the title to reflect the fact that this is from 2017?

Why is it rated Mature?!

The title of this post is deceptive; the actual title of the linked article is:

“Rocket Lab’s Modest Launch Is Giant Leap for Small Rocket Business”

It depends on what your goal is; sometimes it’s the destination, sometimes it’s the journey.

Thanks for posting this; the comments/memories at the end of the article are pure gold!

It was Buzz Aldrin...you can find it on YouTube. The guy deserved it!

503 of them.

I just did a Google search on “c++ map” and didn’t see the behavior you describe.

A lighter version with a retina screen, updated internals, and 2015 MBP style keyboard? Yes, please!

I’m not really sure how I’ve managed to avoid IRC during my years online. I was frequenting BBSes back in 1978 or so and have been on the Web since the early 1990s (when you could still visit every known web site in a day).

Interesting, it also says:

“...the original Little Mermaid statue was commissioned by Carl Jacobsen, son of the company’s founder, in 1913 as a gift to the people of Copenhagen.”

TIL.

Give me any of these (ok, maybe not the Ferrari) at a significant discount in exchange for putting up with ads and we can talk!

OP means the license plate frame.

Hulu, to me, has the perfect model: limited content for free, full content with ads for a subscription fee, full content with no ads for a (slightly) higher subscription fee.

It’s been “Early Access” for almost two years and they’ve completed 6/9 sections according the current TOC (which implies there may be more than 9) if that tells you anything.

To be more specific, each recommendation must be accompanied by at least two other books on the subject the contributor has read and reasons why they are recommending one over the others.

“I don’t understand it, therefore it is inferior.”

I currently program for a living with Java. It clicked with me the moment I first learned it. (It was also my first introduction to OOP.) Right now I’m struggling to learn the nuances of functional programming with both Scala and Haskell. Do I consider functional programming, Scala, or Haskell inferior because they’re not as straightforward for me as Java (or C#, or C, or even ASM) was? Of course not.

I’d rather scan the whole book and replace my library with an iPad. In fact, I’ve already done that. With over 1,000 books on my iPad it’s the only reason I’m still married.

I cannot express enough love for the TrackPoint keyboard! (I use an external one at home and at the office.)

Does this only happen on Windows Home?

Looks like he made it 8000 miles in 6 months before Istanbul denied him a visa. Came home to find that his wife had divorced him in absentia.

So how do they really compare?

It lost me about 2/3 in when it got to monads.

Is this a viable alternative to Docker? I’m about to launch a fairly large new project and had planned on going with Docker but this definitely causes me concern.

F natural is a cute name, but F# will always be a half step above.

I’ve been using Macs since 1984. I even made it through the crap the company was producing during Jobs’ first absence (albeit barely). Right now my daily computer (which gets at least 10 hours of use a day) is a maxed out 2014 MBP. I love it...it’s the best laptop I’ve ever used, Windows or Mac. If it were to die today, however, I’d replace it with a 2015 MBP. I’ve been keeping my eye on the Surface too, and if it keeps progressing forward in terms of quality and capability, and Apple keeps on progressing backwards, I’m ready to take the plunge and switch. Microsoft has been making a lot of really smart decisions lately and Apple has been making a lot of stupid ones.

The joists and surfaces between floors in a home are 12-14 inches thick in total, bringing the distance between the floor and ceiling in each level closer to 7 feet.
