That policy is a bit risky. That might diminish the use of other things that reduce significantly the spread of HIV, like condoms. It's still unknown how effective the gel is: maybe 90%, maybe 5%, condoms are 90% effective AFAIK[1]. [1] ht

If you just look at the number of hours, it's "just" a full time job for a year: 8 hours a day * 200 working days = 1600 hours With 30 people working just a week (5 days), we're already at 1200 hours. Maybe they got their hours wrong? Or it

Sometime shitwork can be a very good way to find new possibilities. A lot of people do shitwork that's immensely useful, like editors on Wikipedia, moderators on reddit and forums, people who enter all the data into imdb. I don't see how th

I don't know if I like it or not. If you know SQL well and want to switch to a NoSQL database, what's easier learn? The "proprietary" API of the dababase (like Redis, or MongoDB) or the limitations of unSQL? I can't speak of other NoSQL dat

Keep Your Crises Small, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2h2lvhzMDc It's a lecture from Ed Catmull. I highly recommend it, many gems from a brilliant developer turned brilliant manager.

Husky & HD (another StarCraft caster) both have a healthy revenue stream from their Youtube Channel. There are at least 12 other casters/players in North America/Europe making a living casting StarCraft II games. Husky wasn't the first

I agree that SPDY would be a "quicker" solution. Just modify the browsers and wait a year or two, and 30%+ of the people browsing the web will have it. SCTP have the nice side effect of improving things like streaming, and games. As for app

I don't like SPDY. It's trying to solve a transport problem at the application level. Plus it seems to be quite complex. I'd love to see Google promote a transport protocol like SCTP[1], and do HTTP over SCTP instead. If Google pushed SCTP

Indeed, just to make it clear: There's no more C++ code in the OpenBSD's base, but g++ the C++ compiler is still present. I don't think that g++ will be removed. Too many things are written in C++. And as long as GCC is present in OpenBSD,

The main reasons for replacing groff were: 1. Groff is buggy 2. Groff is slow to compile & execute 3. Groff is not BSD licensed mandoc has none of these problems. If you want a "generic" roff system, groff is available as a package. Acc

Yes, the answers' quality seemed very variable: the most critical answers were the most useful. I'd also be willing to pay a premium to get reviews from the "meanest" soldiers ;-)

You should show more respect to what other people do. You're not the only one guilty of this, everybody tend to overestimate their contribution to the world. How many times did you hear/read about a business guy / manager saying that progra

We still need to wait for WSGI based frameworks and wrappers like Django, werkzeug, WebOb, etc. to be ported. It shouldn't be too long though. I'd bet that in 6 months 1 or 2 projects will already be functional.

Companies can always build their own "last mile connection". I have a fiber optic connection here in Vancouver (20/20mbps), it cost $45/mo, which is reasonable. The thing is that the ISP (Novus) had to lay cables to all the suites in the to

Yes. I didn't want to criticize MongoDB or SQL based databases. Just point out that Redis' protocol is small and easy to implement.

I've been using Redis for 2 months now. It's a real pleasure to use. I especially like the simple protocol. It's possible to write a simple client without any external libraries within days --maybe hours if you're really good ;). Try to do

Which is one of the most tested, most utilized, most known pieces of code used among modern software. Sounds like Microsoft Windows to me :) I think that SQLite is a really nice database. But just because SQLite would work in the browser,

SQL is certainly a well-known _language_, but I don't think it's very well understood by most. Also if IndexedDB has a "lifeless" spec, it might be because there's not much to discuss. Something simple and straightforward tends to requires

I think that's a great news. HTML5 adds lots of complexity in the browser, and yet don't address most of the fundamental problems of HTML: security, complexity. Web SQL was another step in the wrong direction. Local storage wont go away. I

I would love to see X die. Over the years it has become a very complex beast. But I don't think X will die anytime soon: Replacing it with something better is a daunting task, but it's kind of trivial compared to rewriting all the applicati
