La cinquième saison de la série de science-fiction et d'horreur star de Netflix sera diffusée en trois parties. Les premiers épisodes débarqueront à partir du 27 novembre sur la plateforme.

There’s an old story about the person who wished his computer were as easy to use as his telephone. That wish has come true, since I no longer know how to use my telephone. (Bjarne Stroustrup) A hacker on a roll may be able to produce–in a period of a few months–something that a small development group (say, 7-8 people) would have a hard time getting together over a year. IBM used to report that certain programmers might be as much as 100 times as productive as other workers, or more. (Peter Seebach) It’s ridiculous to live 100 years and only be able to remember 30 million bytes. You know, less than a compact disc. The human condition is really becoming more obsolete every minute. (Marvin Minsky) The bulk of all patents are crap. Spending time reading them is stupid. It’s up to the patent owner to do so, and to enforce them. (Linus Torvalds)

640K ought to be enough for anybody. (Bill Gates, 1981) The best method for accelerating a computer is the one that boosts it by 9.8 m/s2. (Anonymous) Don’t worry if it doesn’t work right. If everything did, you’d be out of a job. (Mosher’s Law of Software Engineering) It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years. (John Von Neumann, circa 1949)

Writing in C or C++ is like running a chain saw with all the safety guards removed. (Bob Gray) Fine, Java MIGHT be a good example of what a programming language should be like. But Java applications are good examples of what applications SHOULDN’T be like. (pixadel) The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late. (Seymour Cray) Just remember: you’re not a ‘dummy,’ no matter what those computer books claim. The real dummies are the people who–though technically expert–couldn’t design hardware and software that’s usable by normal consumers if their lives depended upon it. (Walter Mossberg)

Software suppliers are trying to make their software packages more ‘user-friendly’… Their best approach so far has been to take all the old brochures and stamp the words ‘user-friendly’ on the cover. (Bill Gates) The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components are those that aren’t there. (Gordon Bell) Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen. (Edward V Berard) Fifty years of programming language research, and we end up with C++? (Richard A. O’Keefe)
