I love SSD, but I am a bit reluctant about the newest things.
I.e. In software I usually wait until SP 1 is released, then I start thinking on upgrade
So once they are in the markt for a while and have been suficiently tested... then I would love to have one.
Atm having one with 512 Gb and it is lovely fast (my 4+ years old laptop 2x i7 Core with 6 Gb RAM compiles faster than other collegues newest laptop with 4x Core and 8 or 10 Gb RAM)

Quote: Intel hasn't decided which market segment will get this "breakthrough" technology first. SSD started out on the consumer side and worked its way into the data center slowly, because it had to prove its reliability and stability for the data center market, which has very little patience or tolerance for data loss.
More elephant droppings I see. The cost of maximum capacity SSDs will guarantee that the 10GB model is an enterprise only model for the foreseeable future.
From AnandTech editor Kristian Vättö[^]:
Quote: Manufacturers like Intel and Samsung are not really interested in 2TB client SSDs yet because they are such a small niche (yes, I've talked to them). We'll probably see some 2TB SSDs next year as Phison's S10 supports up to 2TB and so will the SF-3700 when it finally comes.

Looking back at my experience here are some things I’d do differently if I was learning to code today. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"

I'd become a psychologist.
It's pretty much the same thing. No standards, constantly fixing someone else's f*ckups, re-writing processes using metadata, etc...

Brilliant! You'd even add, "no way to prove the tests aren't all green" to the result.

Technical debt is often the elephant in the room that we choose to ignore, but we do so at our own peril. Technical debt is directly responsible for many of the problems we have building high-quality software quickly, especially as companies move to more agile methodologies.
Technical debt? Never heard of it.

Nice article. Sums it up nicely. I've had the pleasure of working with technical debt - it's a real PITA. 
I always try to reduce debt whenever possible, but unfortunately many PHB's don't take the time to understand why things take so long and address the root cause. They would rather spend more time complaining about problems instead of fixing them.

SQL databases with in-memory column stores, NoSQL with query languages; it looks like the two schools of database design have begun to merge. Six of one, half-a-dozen of the other

Many programmers consider Object Orientation and Functional Programming to be mutually exclusive forms of programming. "War! What is it good for?"

I'm glad to see the post get into polymorphism and design. Most comparisons and plodding blog posts about FP and OOP don't actually reason through the entire logical thought process. But yeah, the guy's right. Contrary to popular belief, you just have to know what the hell you're talking about and things tend to work out.

While I agree, I think most developers could do with the discipline of using each in their pure form, just to learn the difference it makes to the way you approach problems.
To that end, I'd suggest learning Haskell enough to write a small project, and similarly using Smalltalk. Particularly, many may be surprised to realise how little they know OOP when exposed to it in its purest form.

IBM recently made available IBM SDK for Node.js Version 1.1* for Linux on System z. It is ideal for high-performance JavaScript server applications or to consolidate many server applications to one system to save time and money.

From D to R, these lesser-known languages tackle specific problems in ways worthy of a cult following. Y?

The current release of the R language goes by the code name "Pumpkin Helmet[^]". I think we can conclude that developers should not be allowed to name things....
Of course R is just an enhanced environment for the S language (or, more correctly the S+ version ....)

Of course... you can now program in french, german, english, spanish, russian, chinese...
