Re:Why I'm skeptical of low-code on Sunday December 31, 2023 @04:16AM (#38822795)
low code should be a result not the goal. Let me explain: When you choose the right platform to build the applications, the platform should take care of gluing services, adding visualization, handle common concerns such as reliability, ease of debugging, documentation (with the visualization) etc. This is an often overlooked aspect of application platform that otherwise takes the bulk of the time to create apps.

tools focusing in low-code does not solve them and the tool that solves typically don't market them as low-code - because the are not. low code comes as a result.

Balance LHS = RHS

While helping my 5th grader kid, I came across a question from his math text book about using parenthesis to evaluate the expression.The questions and examples were simple enough for fifth grader but the generalization of the same seems like a hard problem.Here is the problem when generalized:1. You are given an equation of the form LHS = RHS.2. LHS is a mathematical expression on real numbers...

Why no realtime tracking of airliners

In this age of technology, I am surprised, why we still do not have real time tracking of commercial passenger airliners? The recent example of Malaysia Airline's missing flight is a reminder, when something like this happens, we are left with very little information about the flight's whereabouts.
