This is approximately the dumbest thing I've seen since the "no www" movement.

This works a lot better if you're actually friends with most of your coworkers. Then it's pretty awesome.

I have these at work and home. They work well, but I wish they were built a little more solidly. What can you say, though? Ikea.

I come from Montana, and I hate this dichotomy. The fundamental law of resources in this world is: if you can't farm it, you must mine it. They're a yin and yang. I come from Montana, a state which basically has only two industries: far

After doing Rails for about 4 years, and Django for about 2 months (but I've been doing python for 10 years now) ... save yourself some pain and learn Django instead, if you can at all help it. Ruby's documentation culture is hair-tearingly

Well, it is different in that the propellant doesn't work as good and so the inhalers tend to fucking clog. Not that I'm bitter or anything. Not that I would ever suggest that the EPA and environmentalists prefer their CFC purity to be 100%

Well gee. It's been a while since I've used Digital UNIX, Irix, SCO, or VMS. Because they've become totally irrelevant. Seems like a waste of resources when there are more pressing things to do than worry about the 5 people who (a) use VMS

"Research into stem cell therapies, cloning, and gene therapy technology have also been greatly slowed by psychosocial concerns." Dear humanity: you are simply too dumb to have nice things.

1) live in San Francisco and code for a few years. 2) there is no step 2. 2a) on St Patrick's day, despair that you've already paid more in rent this year than your father in Montana will pay all year.

This dude is ranting about the wrong thing. There are parts of Avatar and Transformers, etc, that look like you're running a game on an overloaded computer. The problem here isn't televisions running at a high rate. The problem is film ad

That's funny. Just about every HR person I've ever worked with has (a) been convinced that they're Doing The Most Important Job In The World and (b) completely incompetent and unable to deal with geeks.

I use emacs and vi every day. There's no better python environment than a properly-configured emacs. (I use TextMate, too, but only when I'm doing something disgusting like Rails.)

You know, every day I look at websites on my iPhone, and I think to myself, "You know what would make this phone better? If the screen were smaller ! Yeah!"

You mean code that was interesting to write, and not just another fucking web template?

Read C10K? Both select() and poll() have this problem internally. You have to use one of the more advanced techniques available if you really want to scale. epoll(), kqueue() or friends.

I really don't think I've ever seen a company that doesn't give a shit about its public reputation as much as Oracle. Maybe Blackwater. "We don't have to care, we're the database vendor."

Also June, July, August, and about half of September. Really, Boston is only tolerable for that one glorious week each in the spring and fall. I do miss Boston. But not the weather. It'd be nice if we got an occasional thunder storm out h

I really don't know why this is being downvoted so harshly. Kevin J. Anderson's writing is horrific. He's an absolute hack. Brian Herbert should be ashamed at what he's doing to his father's good name, allowing this incompetent fuckwit to

I dunno about you, but I barely type when I'm coding. I'd guess about 90% of my day is reading and thinking.

Reading monospace text sucks. It's only good for coding for alignment issues. But reading monospace characters for long blocks of text is hard on the eyes. (Not to mention that proportional spacing is more efficient -- you can get more tex

I suppose things could have changed since I left, but they weren't really rigged for that sort of thing when I was there, and I was in two groups who would have been very close to that sort of thing.

Wait, so this idiot was trying to sell information to the Israeli government from Akamai ? There is no information that Israel could possibly want that Akamai wouldn't be more than happy to simply hand over, I'm fairly certain. Given how

This kind of reminds me of the beginning of the Ninth Gate, a rather under-appreciated Johnny Depp movie from about 10 years ago. Without, of course, the hot woman who turns out to be Satan.

I had a very promising interview at Yelp right around that time last year. I have a feel for this sort of thing, and I was damned sure I got the job. Great fit for my experience and skills. Never heard anything back from them. I'm gonna

There's a positive review if I've ever heard it: "Enterprise thinks it sucks". If I live a dozen lifetimes, I hope to never write another line of "enterprise" code again.

I avoided going to a tech interview there, because I knew they'd never have me no matter how sharp my Unix chops are. No degree. But I was laughing a couple months later when I was working across the hall at Akamai ...
