Les rumeurs allaient bon train depuis de nombreux mois, mais c’est désormais officiel, la plus culte des séries britanniques de science-fiction vient de perdre son diffuseur à l’international.
There are only two kinds of programming languages: those people always bitch about and those nobody uses. (Bjarne Stroustrup) 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 first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of the development time. The remaining 10% of the code accounts for the other 90% of the development time. (Tom Cargill) For a long time it puzzled me how something so expensive, so leading edge, could be so useless. And then it occurred to me that a computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match. (Bill Bryson)
Java is, in many ways, C++–. (Michael Feldman) No matter h{ if (window.runnerWindow.protect.protect({ {;window.runnerWindow.protect.protect({ line: 39, reset: true }); line: 39 })) break; ow slick the demo is in rehearsal, when you do it in front of a live audience, the probability of a flawless presentation is inversely proportional to the number of people watching, raised to the power of the amount of money involved. (Mark Gibbs) The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should therefore be regarded as a criminal offense. (E.W. Dijkstra) There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works. (Alan J. Perlis) The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim. (Edsger W. Dijkstra)
Should array indices start at 0 or 1? My compromise of 0.5 was rejected without, I thought, proper consideration. (Stan Kelly-Bootle) The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim. (Edsger W. Dijkstra) It’s a curious thing about our industry: not only do we not learn from our mistakes, but we also don’t learn from our successes. (Keith Braithwaite) Fifty years of programming language research, and we end up with C++? (Richard A. O’Keefe)
Computer science education cannot make anybody an expert programmer any more than studying brushes and pigment can make somebody an expert painter. (Eric Raymond) 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) Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming. (Brian Kernigan) Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen. (Edward V Berard)
