Love it. I had a lot of fun playing around with it.

I found it hugely useful in the .Net world. With closed source, obscure errors cannot be as easily tracked down, especially when they are not covered by MSDN or a prominent blog. A couple years after switching to an open source stack, I bar

Looks very cool. Pricing is a bit confusing though. 1 user, 1+ user, unlimited users What does 1+ user mean if not unlimited? Also, row limits are not listed in the top tier, making me think that they are either unlimited, or that

I got distracted and was looking at your other posts, when I noticed that the 5 or so I had looked at all said "1 day ago". I thought you must be a lunatic until I actually went back and read this post and saw that your dates had

I have lost a couple blogs over the years, mostly out of laziness, letting them expire. I got an itch to write some posts recently and wanted to set up a new site. This time around I decided I would do it with something git friendly, so tha

Ben is not a Joyent employee, but a Strongloop employee/cofounder. I Cannot say I am terribly surprised. Strongloop has rubbed me the wrong way from the very beginning. Since they have launched, they have displayed all the integrity of

The stuff we are going through right now might seem scary, but McCarthyism was not exactly the golden age of trust. It was not so long ago that "mainstream" society did not trust blacks, working women, the japanese, or jews. We (r

> the person who says 'yes' is more likely to not be fired than the person who says no Within reason, I completely disagree with this. The best engineers and PMs are the ones who effectively manage expectations.

This is a pretty important note. Especially on the east coast, C# is by far the easiest language to jumpstart a career in for young devs, and is a very safe bet for veterans as well. Java jobs are practically non-existent in many mid size e

For some reason it is saying that my ideal weight is 265, which is about 100 pounds to many. Also, it says I should be exercising 27 hrs/wk. 4 hours of exercise per day seems unreasonable.

A couple other oddities of geography I have noticed as a geospatial system developer. - Outside the US and Europe things tend to get really wacky with geography and geospatial data. Many GIS products are licensed per country for this very r

As someone who writes predictive analytics software, I can say that you are dead on. Most of analytics is a process of doing one of two things: 1) Extrapolation of data where samples are lacking. 2) Taking big data and making it little data

This applies to type II diabetics, but not to type I. As a type I diabetic, I would be dead pretty quick without carbs. Proteins and fats can raise blood sugar, but they do it very slowly, so I would have no way to correct low blood sugars

I share a small office with 1 other dev. This is the absolute max I can handle while coding. I am in meetings a good chunk of the day. I really don't need to be sitting next to 20 coworkers the rest of the time.

IDK, I feel like this has shifted in the last generation. Nobody is shocked nowadays when you inform them that Columbus was a bad guy, and the same historical rethink in pop culture is happening with Edison.

Except that now a days Tesla is practically worshipped and Edison is known as the guy who shocked elephants in the street.

Not particularly reliably. Peer review by people who actually know what they are doing is going to beat my puny brain 99% of the time.

Is this correct? It is my understanding that XAML is the client language that is used in WPF and Silverlight (which is a subset of WPF). Both WPF and Silverlight can be used for desktop or web development (although WPF leans to desktop and

At the same time, this probably cuts down on "me too" contributions. I have a repo that has been gaining popularity lately and have been flooded with pull requests that do nothing but add a jshint file or other dev environment cha

Some new innovation in trucks would certainly be interesting. As a driver with over 200k on my F-150, I could see some sort of T-150 being a pretty sweet redesign.

Perhaps hardware design is exactly what MS needs. They have certainly been fumbling in the area, despite a strong push.

"Well, I guess Eqifax is not that accurate" and "Oops. Thanks for letting me know I don't want to work here" would both be reasonable responses. Most companies are not doing this.

If you are playing to win, you tell them you currently make whatever salary you are seeking. When they ask you what sort of salary you need, say something along the lines of "Obviously, I want to take a step forward, but I am pretty fl

Fine, don't shut down the programs, but is it too much for the people paying for these programs to ask about their nature and to be informed of the accountability breaches? Every citizen has a right to know the nature of what we are do
