I was a student of Robert Dewar at IIT when Snobol and Spitbol came into existance. This is a delight. He was unbelievably intelligent.

While no one programming legend can possibly accomplish any big feat solo, there are programmers worthy of fame for their supreme productivity. "If they gave gold statuettes for tears and regrets, I'd be a legend in my time"

With Microsoft increasingly making Windows 'free,' how does the company expect to recoup lost revenues? Believe it or not, Bing is key, according to the company's Chief Marketing Officer. So... they're going to do a Bing search to figure out how to make money?

Forcing staff to start work before 10 a.m. is tantamount to torture and is making employees ill, exhausted and stressed, an Oxford University researcher has claimed. Amen
And for those of you who, "like to get in early and get a lot of work done before everyone else shows up in the office", well. I respectfully submit that you're just mutants.

So is stopping after 5 p.m. and not having at least an hour break!
Add to that the commute, which is now also considered work according to another article in today's insider, and about four working hours are left each day.
Of which half are spent near the coffee machine

Never said I wasn't, but the fact is that I do my best work before noon. After lunch, it is a nap meetings time.

I'm not one to stay in bed during the week.
I start early because there so much things to do in the evening than in the morning.
I'd rather be phishing!

An Oracle official expects the module system planned for Java 9 to bring improved scalability and performance to the popular enterprise platform. "This engineering approach to the management of complexity by modularization was re-deployed in the software engineering discipline in the 1960s and 1970s"

Quote: goals of the module system. Chief among them is reliable configuration, to replace the "brittle, error-prone, class-path mechanism" with a means for program components to declare dependencies on each other.
IF this means an end to the yearly cluster-elephant where I lose an hour trying to figure out how to turn a directory tree of files into a compiling application in Eclipse, it'll be the biggest improvement in Java development since being able to switch to C#.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The court says that during trips to and from customers, workers are at their employer’s disposal and they act on the instructions of the employer. "And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine. And start your slaving job to get your pay"

Deceptive headlines for the win. 
The ruling only applies to work from home staff when they're driving from home to a client site. Presumably driving from the office to a client site was already considered paid working time.

It's good to see architectural patterns such as CQRS (for which Dino did an article for CODE magazine earlier in the year) and ES getting more widespread coverage and (hopefully) adoption.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

Yup - I'm going to see his SDD conference talk[^] in London largely on the strength of those articles.

tl;dr: Instead of storing the current state, you store all events leading up to the current state, and derive the current state as an aggregating query.

Thank you for pointing it out, I knew nothing about CQRS.
Also, it is always nice seeing a connational writing high profile articles!

I have been working on a project to make using CQRS a bit easier - posting articles as I go along such as CQRS on Windows Azure - Event sourcing[^]
Unfortunately because this si done in my spare time, progress is really really slow...
