Nearly 40% of teams using open source lack the internal skills to test, use, or integrate that software. "It's a world of laughter, a world of tears"
Not going to get that out of my head all week now, thanks me.

A certain kind of software developer—or more often, businessperson— likes to talk about a hundred-year programming language, or even a hundred-year framework. That's a long compile time

The hundred-year programming language will be something the global AI creates to program us. And it'll be an injection, not bits and bytes.

And here we thought Java was a slow compile.

Kent, that was an interesting article. Most of the time I skim opinion pieces (since I'm an old fart they tend to piss me off), but this one I read in its entirety.
Nice job. Thank you.

Nickolas Sharp held Ubiquiti’s data ransom while posing as an anonymous hacker, but an internet outage that disrupted his VPN helped the feds catch on to his scheme. And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that meddling himself

Nearly all of the newer programming languages are general-purpose. And that's a problem. Here's why we still need domain-specific languages. It's like you can use them for anything!

FORTH [^] solved this dilemma ages ago, but, as Yogi Berra said: "Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded."
Is a ghost of FORTH haunting .NET; you be the judge: [^]. [1]
i met "evangelical disciples" of the FORTH language/faith way back in CPM and first Apple daze; you asked questions: you got a recruitment pitch

Sounds like someone who doesn't really understand that domain specific languages are really no longer needed except in a very few situations. Real time programming is one of these, but even in this situation I've seen general purpose operating systems and languages configured to run in a real time environment, and do it successfully.

Tiny11 is the original Windows 11 version 22H2 stripped down to the very vitals. The mod requires only 8GB on a drive (stock Windows 11 chews more than 20GB), works on systems with 2GB of RAM, and does not need Trusted Platform Module or Secure Boot. "Day by day he shrinks! Science is baffled!"
