It's not silly at all. I'm 38, a friend of mine died almost six months ago (he was 37). I still haven't really parsed the permanence of it, or the fact that half a year has passed already; even as I stood beside his grave las

I applaud for doing that, and your request. Reading that article was horrifying. One one side, the banality of it all. On the other... I can't even imagine what it was like to experience that, and I think I am happier that I can't

nikic is an incredible asset to the PHP community. I feel slightly less bad about my own programming abilities now that he is no longer a teenager ;) Everyone likes to rag on PHP's chain, which is fair enough in some regards, but it ha

Amazing guitarist. A friend (J's greatest fan incidentally) managed to convince him to do a guest solo on one of his albums a few years ago. Pretty amazing thing to strike off your bucket list! I've never heard of anyone calling a

I can appreciate this also. Your `sort` question reminds me of an interview where I asked the candidate to give me an example of where he used his general coding knowledge to solve a problem. He told me how he had two long lists of email ad

It is a lot of fun, it tastes amazing and it gets quicker and less messy the more you do it. Recently I decided I would start getting a lot more use out of an Imperia I bought years ago, with the specific goal of getting good/fast en

Indeed, and if that wasn't enough of a disincentive they'd lose out on the favourable taxation they get from basing themselves in Europe - specifically, Ireland. http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/g
