In Scala you can do this pretty neatly:

  url match {
   case GitHubUrl => config.github
   case TwitterUrl => config.twitter
   case _ => defaultUrl
  }

Please explain how it "comes from the top".

Which wasn't a bad thing after all. I've had more incidents with deployment pipelines than with the actual code.

I've been in a company where all estimates were multipied by pi.

But as someone else has to pay for their free money, the perceived happiness needs to be quantified.

As a native Swedish speaker, albeit with little interest in languages and grammar, I can't see how that would help anyone. How do you know if "bil" (car) is masculine/feminine or neutral (en bil, ett bil)? Open to learn here :)

It's ok. I mean, it's great that you put in all this time to give it away for free, but this is not where open source shines. This is lightyears behind professional SQL clients like SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) - even compared to what SSMS was 10 years ago!

Seniority and number of job opportunities have little to do with each other. There's a high demand for developers with 5-10 years experience, and also for 1-5 years. There is less demand for those with 30 years experience. Are they more senior still? Yes.

Yeah, I'm sure they would be able to deploy the service, have it secure and updated, having apps up to date on their new devices. Or maybe that takes time and effort, and people need to pay their bills.

As is mentioned in the article

If you want a "snappy editor", don't use one written as a web app.

Back then, Eclipse was this big, bloated and slow IDE. IntelliJ was slim, fast and much more intuitive and powerful in terms of refactoring, etc. Today, IntelliJ is big, bloated and turning slow.

Which IDE will be the next big thing?

That was part of his public appearance because it has been extremely valuable, and it has been debated wether it was authentic or not.

Tried on a site (https://www.dn.se/) which looked completely broken. Tried it on another (https://www.svt.se/nyheter/) and the browser crashed. No thanks.

Agreed. The site actually says "Starting with Linux on your laptop and want to know which apps you should use?"

It's great tips for beginner users, but advanced users and "hackers" waste their time scrolling through a list of apps like Firefox, VLC and Gimp.

In Spotify I have my entire library in the cloud, accessible from my phone, home computer, office, etc. I get weekly (great) recommendations based on what I actually listen to. I can browse related artists, share songs with my friends, stream the music to all my home speakers in sync. Of course an mp3 player use less power, it only does a fraction of what Spotify does. It's not even like comparing apples and oranges, it's like comparing your bike to a jet fighter.

And, yeah, I grew up with Winamp and MP3s (or even .MOD/.XM). But the world moves on.

I could read it fairly well, and I'm Swedish. Now I feel Slavik.

I usually play through the campaign first. Not because the AI is clever, but because I want to know the story, why we play certain maps, etc. FPS games are not well known for having well written stories, but I still find them entertaining, just as I find games like The Last of Us.

The new Battlefield game was probably the first were I have only played the multiplayer (and lots of it).

But that's not what Uber/Lyft does. And this is said to be an alternative to that.

"of course Apple and Sun can sell computers, but not to the two most lucrative markets for computers, namely, the corporate desktop and the home computer." - Joel Spolsky, 2004

It's -presented- in a very simple way. The list doesn't give any real insight or even a single code example. That's why they say it's too simple, and you say we know very little about it, and you're both right.

Loaded in about 15-20 seconds for me. Even if you think medium.com is slow, they can handle the sudden extra load that your site couldn't.

A lot of this can be applied to modern day middle class life in Stockholm, Sweden, too for example. I guess SV is a bit more extreme, but the same things are there: the lust for gadgets, using podcasts to find conversational topics with your friends, sharing half-read articles, the "perfectly Instagrammed life", and, perhaps most of all: "The reporters all share photos and videos of the homeless person, but no one talks to him."

I actually just use aliases, it feels like this DLite/dhyve is more of a hack.

What I take from the article is that we try to push things into where they don't really fit. I like the modern URLs we are building now, that they are easy to understand to humans. The problem is not wether we should use GET or POST, the problem is when we try to use PUT and other verbs for things they are not ment to do. If you want a system to perform an action, it's not GET or POST, but it's not PUT either. You can't use the old HTTP error codes for application errors such as "flight is overbooked."
