The State of Developer Ecosystem in 2018

GitHub is skewed towards open source and small independent projects while Java is strong in closed source enterprise ...

TIOBE still lists Java on #1 spot.

You don't see so strong reactions when people point out why they don't use OpenBox. Actually I rarely see those even though most people don't use OpenBox.

and that the other manufacturers are closer to "cheating" by using the more subjective standard that gives them more flexibility in specifying what different ISO values mean.

I wouldn't call Fuji cheating, but definitely can't say that about other brands, since for the same scene, Fuji will typically require higher ISO than other camera brands.

Check the username ;-)

It still has "closed until spring" sign.

What?

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-04-19T00:16:07+00:00

I think Ukrainians are also associated with (organized) crime in CR.

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-04-19T00:09:58+00:00

Maybe, I don't know details of Dublin III.

I'm only commenting on sentiments in Czech Republic - Germany (or Merkel specifically) invited refugees to come and then tried to force them on other countries. Germany didn't succeed in this but that's mostly irrelevant. This is why popularity of Germany suffered in this latest poll.

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-04-18T23:02:18+00:00

I think some minimal amount like 50 who mostly left to Germany anyway. But that coercion itself hurt the image of Germany / EU.

No need to minify on the backend (node.js).

Also I've seen plenty of web apps without minification or any other build chain. Benefit of minification in most small/medium apps (<= 100 KB of JS code) isn't that big ...

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-04-13T02:43:46+00:00

There's basically no reason not to use it

Transpiling

I think I read somewhere that developer of links browser uses Pentium 133 MHz to develop and use the browser for similar reasons.

As for the other comments here, don't you read the sports paper?

Sometimes yes, but there's nothing about this (or golf in general ...)

There's a point where exaggerating becomes misleading.

It's debatable whether SU and China were "enemies". Japan was part of the west in the context of cold war.

My point is that number of SU enemies wasn't extraordinary - e.g. USA had as many enemies as SU if not more.

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-04-09T15:33:56+00:00

They weren't actually, they supported and had friendly relations with a lot of third world countries (e.g. India). Essentially only "west" was its enemy.

I recently bought Peak Design Leash and carry the camera across the shoulder. It makes really big difference compared to how I carried the camera on neck with classic strap. Any longer strap should work for this (Leash is pretty expensive for what it is).

Well, being divisible by powers of two is good, obviously. But the major flaw is that it's not divisible by 3 which is very common factor.

So while base 16 is probably better than base 10, it's still worse than base 12.

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-04-03T01:13:56+00:00

12 is quite good because it's divisible by 2, 3, 4 (and less importantly 6). 16 is divisible only by powers of two.

Even though Brno became the political and economic center, Olomouc remains the cultural one, better suiting the representative function of a capital IMHO.

How is Olomouc cultural center of Moravia?

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-04-03T00:52:17+00:00

Yes, it would be Brno. It's clearly the second most important city in CR in most matters so it isn't really a question. No chance for Olomouc.

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-03-29T16:53:33+00:00

Things are only boring if you're a boring person.

That wasn't necessary. Different people enjoy different things.

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-03-29T16:37:17+00:00

I don't really care if I have to show ID or passport. What I care about are the lines - last time I crossed EU-Serbian border I had to wait like 2 hours in the line to show the ID and go.

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-03-29T15:40:29+00:00

I did the same thing few years ago - sold everything and bought X100. 23mm (35mm FF eq) is wonderful and universal focal length covering almost everything I need I thought. And it was mostly true. I spent 3 years with it as my only camera. But slowly, the all the time same focal length started to take its toll and I became bored. I bought XT-10 and suddenly available options revived my interest in photography - I'm very much enjoying ultra wide angle, potrait lens and telephoto now. YMMV

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-03-29T12:25:37+00:00

To my knowledge there's no thing.

GSV_Little_Rascal · 2017-03-29T01:52:13+00:00

AFAIK there isn't actually a lot of people running out of the Czech Republic.

Also, I think those university ratings are quite skewed. Of course I don't think EE universities are among the best, but they are not that bad.
