This is probably country-dependant. I’m from Australia and the prices shown are the final price, with everything included, because businesses here are legally required to do so.

Am I the only one who's wondering why we're reading an article that is supposed to be published/had been published 7 days from now?

Hey there, I'm from Malaysia but have been studying and working in Australia the past 7 years. Am really keen to get to know some Malaysian devs and find out what the software industry condition is like back home. My email's me@jo

I play Starcraft 2 quite a bit, and can confidently say that no matter how good your strategy is, it just doesn't work without good execution against any decent player, and by decent I mean anyone above bronze league. This is because n

Wow. So what are the times when one would choose one reading over another?

I do understand that when people refer to Chinese it means Mandarin. However, if Mandarin is a language does that mean that Hokkien, Foochow, Cantonese, Hakka, etc are languages too? I don't think the way I described it in the grandpar

Wait so the Chinese reading in Japan is different from the Chinese reading in China and most parts of the Chinese speaking world (ignoring the influences of accents)? Can you provide an example please?

Do share with us why you believe that to be the case.

I'm a Chinese, and I can easily understand written kanji (one of the 3 Japanese writing systems) as it's essentially traditional Chinese characters, but the pronunciation is a whole different game altogether. From this I'm as

Well bunnie is Singaporean, and most if not all Singaporeans can speak Mandarin (not a linguist but Chinese is more of the language, and Mandarin the dialect, albeit the "official" dialect for the language).

Out of curiosity: What are the positive reasons in having commented out code?

Major do'h moment for me. :P Got so used to using a VCS that I took some things for granted.

Good read. But regarding deleting commented out code, I have always have a strong aversion to doing so even though I really want to, for fear that someone somewhere might want it. Has anyone ever faced this dilemma before? If yes how did yo

Interesting read. Though correct me if I'm wrong, but I find the article rather biased against iterative/agile way of writing software. Don't get me wrong, I believe there's a time and place for over-2500-pages-of-specs-

Another problem is that when developers decide to do their own startup, the only domain they really understand is software development. I don't believe this to be true - most, if not all, developers have hobbies and interests. For example
