Recently I replaced my old video card on my PC, the old one had something like 160 core while new one has 960. I plugged it in and nothing really noticeable has improved. Same with when I swapped my HDD's out for SSD's. In contrast when

I am in my 30's so maybe a change won't be too bad. On the other hand I've never really been able to find my ideal dream job ( more engineering based with Python and at least partial telecommute ).

I am not sure if I am. Are you talking about someone as described by the Daily WTF's "Complicator's gloves" http://us.thedailywtf.com/Articles/The_Complicator_0x27_s_Gl... If so, I generally keep my more insane idea's to unpaid pet proje

Unfortunately I had to cut it down to 2K character so might have missed enough information to be useful. The NoSQL thing was a total failure on my part, yes it was a really cool idea but I was dealing with vague requirements ( and didn't qu

Regardless of position on this subject, it seems like I am constantly reading about how verdict X was overturned in some appeals court or such. The effect on me is to feel less like US law is remotely sane and more whoever can come up with

I have just a tad under 4K points and been using SO for 3.5 years. In the beginning it was easy to ask or answer questions but now the questions are less abstract and more focused on stuff far off the beaten path.

In production; its good to involve your customers in the development process so they feel included. Seriously though, for small web projects I usually aim for 100% unit-test coverage on the models, 70-80% on controllers, and then depending

The only thing I don't like about Fabric ( and perhaps I missed reading a step in the docs ) is working with very complex systems, I wanted to break fabric recipes/scripts into multiple files and found doing `fab -f zkservers.py reload` sli

So far been fairly happy with SC2, my client has built a proof of concept app that probably pushed the limits of the framework for controllers/models/views/etc but it's still performent on most of the iOs/apple devices.

I usually ask that one right off the bat, usually its because they've realized off shoring wasn't working out or the "consultancy" they were using was only effective in ensuring the "consultants" had a pulse. I am not very popular with a fe

I used to subscribe to IaMa a while back and yes they were and to some extent are still a fantastic opportunity for the unwashed masses to quiz celebrities of all walks of fame. Still considering what happened to Woody, I would think that i

I often wonder what kind of thought goes through a person's head before they do an IaMa on reddit. You need to be either crazy, stupid, crazy stupid, or Neil Degrasse Tyson to think "Hey this is gonna be awesome!"

Yeah, I've worked in two shops where every developer was on guard for themselves, those were not fun situations. I can usually figure out I am in such a scenario when I ask someone if they would mind helping me by reviewing or talking thro

Seems like the multiyear unit-test coverage campaign is starting to pay off for the core PHP engineers, 5-6 years ago they swore they couldn't do shortened array syntax without major problems.

Still haven't used nodeJS, but was wondering if its possible to emulate something like Twisted's inlineCallback decorator/generator pattern. http://krondo.com/?p=2441 Working with Twisted tedious at times, but that pattern/construct sign

I've been in a situation where the company was laying people off incrementally over the span of 18 months. I hated going to work, didn't give a shit about the company, and I was not unique or alone in that opinion. If you have to lay peop
