Which has the exact same impact on rental properties. In many jurisdictions it is worse for rentals (no homestead or occupancy reductions)

I've been looking for examples of applications built with scala and akka that I can learn from. I've built small, toy-ish stuff but I feel I learn a lot by looking at examples. Any have any recommendations?

Summary: 2 independent developers write more lines of code combined then 2 working as a pair. Thus pair programming is bad. How quaint.

I'm only saying this because your entire point is about being pedantic with the language, one of the definitions of steal[0] is "to appropriate (ideas, credit, words, etc.) without right or acknowledgment." In this case, whether its a copy

It is not the responsibility of the purchaser to know information which is purposefully withheld from them. From the article > Scott Sweet's multi-billion dollar hedge fund client flipped the stock at $42. His subsequent short made his

You can. For java if you have a source directory, you New Project -> Java -> Create from existing source code. If there isn't an option for that in php, its because no body has written it, not because its not possible.

This is great! Thanks for sharing.

Oh, I agree. Biological experiment reproducibility is an incredibly hard problem. You are probably right that it is 'trivial' by comparison in the same way that landing on mars is trivial to landing on Alpha Centauri.

I would say that including two audio assets for the same sound seems like a code smell.

I have been in discussions about this with one of my friends working in academic materials research. Its amazing the amount of work today done by scientist at universities writing code without very basic software development tools. I'm talk

I realized that by replying i'm probably encouraging you to continue posting this non-sense. I agree with Joachim below, this is barely related to the article.

I think the overlooked part of this, once we step back from the natural desire to pick 'the best', is that people who care about the platforms are providing a vast set of starting examples for people looking to get started on each network.

Its the stages of grief. Something you've invested a considerable amount of your life in was revealed to you in the last 24 hours to be not what you believed it to be. That causes grief and causes denial.

Of course, everyone would prefer to know the answer to their issues without any tools. As your code base becomes contributed to by more people, grows in size and leverages libraries you don't write, it becomes less feasible to always divin

This is completely loaded. Your implication is that the only viable test is a test which exercises all of the functionality of the most feature rich framework. How would that be a)viable and b) meaningful? We know that there is a set of com

It's pretty simple, honestly. For an entire day, just make things. I've found that the noise in our industry is pretty easy to ignore with minimal loss to signal by merely choosing when to partake. If you want to avoid all those things you

This almost feels like voting based off the results of voting. Read the article, if you find it interesting, up vote. It seems like a pretty simple system. I don't think that other people's comments should play a part in determining whether

Its not wrong for you to approach everything so skeptically, but I think you have to see it from the authors perspective: 1. He clearly has an altruistic bent (he'd just returned from the Peace Corp. in Kenya) 2. He liked his position for i

It is a reasonable belief. And I'm not criticizing you for having it. Still, this process has repeated itself for a long time. Its not always fast and the best doesn't always win, but its how things seem to work.

What make one project superior to the other, besides your opinion? Open source is darwinian. If one project proves its superiority, development will shift and other projects will change. I would think that, as a hacker community, we cou

One additional item I would suggest is Fowler's Refactoring. In java hell, the only viable weapon is a refactoring scalpel.

The entire article doesn't contain compelling support for the argument you say he is making. Its a bunch of hand waving about how google gets bored after the engineering. That may be so, but he provides no tactile examples of how this is th

Just to tack on my simple opinion: 'Up' is in context to the current application. 'Back' is in context the users perspective. If I'm in the browser and click a mailto link, it opens the email client. The 'up' metaphor should return me to th

If i was designing it, you'd need to make it focused on the products. Maybe 50% of people feel these products are not 'viable'. If thats the feeling, I think that those fired can walk away feeling ok about the situation (obviously not great

Just tried this last week and have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed. Great work guys! Worked really smooth, even smooth enough for people to see animation hiccups in some apps we were building. Thanks!

I like Martin Fowler's Refactoring. This is called 'Replace conditional with subtype' explained here: http://www.refactoring.com/catalog/replaceConditionalWithPol... The book is a good read and a fantastic reference.

The fact that he sent an email follow up to a phone conversations means that 1) he had already decided not to become part of the collusion and 2) he wanted to leave a paper trail which would be made public if the collusion was ever detect
