    Next did not explode, it invaded Apple and took it over from ghe inside. MacOS/X IS NextStep with another GUI shell.

    All the MacOS APIs still start with NS to this very day. The NS in NSString? Now you know

    Erlangs little sister Elixir is making me cheat on Ruby behind her back and I think we are going to elope in the near future. Ruby is the sweetest thing and all, but Elixir? She just never stops.

    And programmer time. That is where Ruby shines. Many webapps will execute 1 hour of CPU time in their lives.

    We are already at picoservices. Our engineering team have started looking at attoservices too. Your company is doomed, maybe you should polish that resume again.

    Where the hate comes for SQL joins I never got. You are throwing away evey optimization and advantage of database research over 50 years cause the young'uns wanted something more hip.

    Finally the NoSQL cancer has spread to networks and architectures.

    Back in 1988 I even wrote a small spreadsheet for DOS with WP keybindings.

    But it is not an IDE and if you use it as one you are doing something wrong.

    No. If amateur hackers did bioengineering dev they would create Ebola++, brag about their l33t g3n3 sk1llzz, go and open source it and watch how the bad guys make Ebola+++ and exterminate the unbelieving part of humanity like rats.

    And then still insist to n their cyberlibertarian principles to high heaven that information needs to be free, the bad guys can use the genes for heir own purpose and bitch that that someone violated some obscure clause in the GPL for genes.

    Half of this conversation would go away if MS had the common sense NOT to call ther separate product by the similar and confusing name VIsualStudio xxx. The should call it something else.

    Reminds me of the days when my boss confused Java and JavaScript, another marketing-driven name cockup.

    And I agree with you, VScode is not bad.

    Back in the day when MacOS 9 was still non-multitasking the US Army ran their webserver on it with the assumption that if you can't log in to the machine remotely (the server did not support SSH, telnet or anything else) you can't hack it. Apparently it worked for them.

    Considering how they pimp their rigs ... I was looking for a workstation mobo recently and was dismayed to find a review that extolled how sexy and fashionable the colors on the chipset and heatsinks was. We are talking about an X99 board here, for a Xeon

  24. Dual CPU 10-16 core Xeons with 128GB or 256GB RAM is better for that. The average VM is not that heavily loaded, and RAM is much more of a limiter.

  25. That Huge RAM size is the main sticking point for me. I like having 128 MB RAM around and would go up to 256 if I could. Very useful for virtualisation and all kinds of stuff. But the only CPU that support that are Xeons! None of Intel's old generation of eXtreme Monster CPUs could go beyond 64GB. 64GB is a joke.

    A 3 GHz 14-core Haswell Xeon with 128GB of RAM is more useful to me than a 4.5 GHz monster Skylake with 32GB.

    It is also waaay better for those same content creation tasks
