One thing that helps me is this: whenever I'm in a situation that makes me nervous, I think about even more stressful situations in the past that I went through unscathed. For example, if I get nervous before speaking to a group of 10

Alright, since this is not the first time I see this: what the deal about people from Austin trying to shoo people away? As if Austin was really that great and everybody wanted to come there? And isn't it the case that the more tech pe

The data I put in Google is MY property, I want that data protected and don't care less about servers just as I do not claim ownership to the school locker.

bs. This makes it sound like these companies like Apple are harming the Chinese. I came from a developing country and I can tell you right now many people have to do much worse jobs to carve out some food for themselves and many others die

Why would I prefer to plug and play (and toss away) micro, modular libraries/frameworks designed to interop or to be independently used instead of using a monolithic technology that pushes to my throat ObjJ, Cocoa and a other contraints tha

What a hypocrite. You can joke dirty publicly, but when it comes to 2 friends making private jokes with one another, you become Joan of Arc, a heroine, an activist. Well "calculated" though, I have to say.

Don't know about Rails, but I'm building a MVP using Node.JS and hosting a free dyno. Can handle 250 reqs/s for dynamic requests (i.e. full stack, Postgres, Redis, Jade, Express etc.) and 1500+ reqs/s for static contents. I do use cluster w

> Within a single request, Node can async its dealing with outside services (databases, api's, etc), but it is still only processing one request at a time. There is no 'synchronized' keyword in javascript. ;-) This is as wrong as it can

Can anyone explain why this random routing is supposedly good for Node.JS and Java? I mean the net effect is busy dynos might serve more requests while idle ones remain idle and that is certainly not good for Node.JS or anything. What am I

The author is a developer, not a designer. And I don't see the point of trying to persuade people to not listen to her because she's among the awful designers although they already say they find her writing useful.

Uhm, what? The button name is "Buy now with 1-click", not "Rent now with 1-click". If I buy something, I own it. Period.

I came from a developing country and among the things I miss about it is low cost phone, cable and internet. Basically $25/month vs $150 I'm paying now for pretty similar quality of service. That has puzzled me a great deal, shouldn't tech

I'm tired of this. Can't people realize that they'll change, and what they love doing now might not be what they will love doing in the future? For example, when you're old, your hormone dies out, I guess you would wish you had spent less t

Don't want to nitpick, but the article says "Baxter will sell for $22,000, not including its base and hands, but including a software subscription and warranty." So not really a 10x cost saving.

Why are you so sure he hadn't have read all those in his 20's? And didn't it occur to you that those "real" books may just be real for you only?

My bad, I misread it. Still, I would ask the same for the requirement of "have considerable technical skills".

+1. While I haven't got any deal out of it, I do think the ads make very good cover screen. I'd prefer them much more than an empty dull cover screen.

NRefactory itself depends on Cecil, so his translator might not use Cecil at all.

And because you're already rich, it is okay for people to rob you?

This "x happens everywhere" argument always sickens me. Murders happens everywhere, does that mean we shouldn't criticize a specific mass murderer?

So Google bought Sparrow so that they would never release this?

They wouldn't, because at least gene has its role. Life events + genes + free will => destiny. The role of the first two are pretty self-evident. I'm not sure about the role of free will, if it exists.

If you hate your job and have no interest in the success of your company, good advice. If you love your job, there's nothing wrong doing it a bit more. I sometimes see myself work 12 hours a day just because I can't get my mind of a codin
