I couldn't get the Windows 2000 VM to connect to the internet, otherwise I wanted to try and get at least a 1-level recursive reference going... Windows 2000 running in Firefox running in Windows 2000 running in Chrome running on a Mac

That was an excellent read. Kind of a reverse of the short story "Nightfall" by Isaac Asimov.

The number one reason I've seen is for things that need visibility during the work day. For example, if my girlfriend needs to email me something I need to take action on during the work day, she knows to email my work email. Same with

One of my developers was a CS grad who took a bootcamp to learn Ruby/Rails. She parlayed that into a $100k job out of the gate doing Ruby/Rails consulting work, and has been one of our top developers ever since. I've talked t

I'm surprised this isn't higher up, that's what confused me. How can they report a new discovery while simultaneously testing a new measuring device? There's a lot about the article that smells bad.

I've been out of college for 10 years, writing software professionally... it's so rare to have to calculate the big-O of an algorithm, or use a data structure much fancier than an array or a hash table, or implement my own search

Any company with an interview process where the key to passing the interview is "Pay more attention in your Algorithms and Data Structures classes", is a company that I'm never taking a job at.

So many enterprises are going to go after this because of pre-existing relationships with Microsoft... not realizing how badly Microsoft is going to have them over a barrel when all of their software (on-prem and cloud) is built and automat

In the whitepaper it references three vendors that will offer this- Dell EMC, HPE, and Lenovo.

Java, Ruby, PHP - all safe bets for server-side language. They're all easy to find developers for, stable, and easily supported by all major IaaSes (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure) and PaaSes (Cloud Foundry, Heroku, Kubernetes, Dock

Interesting discussion. Thanks for posting. As I've gotten to learn many different languages (PHP, Ruby, Go, Java, Python, etc) over the last 10 years, it has been really interesting to see how different languages and communities can v

A single property does not make a good substitute for a retirement fund. There's a reason why retirement funds allow you to invest in a diverse set of bonds with different rates of risk and across different industries. Putting all of y

I was wondering the same thing. My assumption would be that either: 1) The US has nothing to gain by taking down the internet infrastructure via malicious means. or 2) The US has better access to these systems to take them out directly rath

Will Trump wait to give a statement and see how the public responds, before taking action on the proverbial "3am phone call"? I think not. I might not like Hillary, but it's an absolute joke that Adams thinks that Trump is th

My biggest beef with manual QA is that at most places I've worked for or worked with as a consultant (~15 companies), the QA team either doesn't have the skills necessary or doesn't care enough to understand the system at the

MVPs? Absolutely. Just because it's the first iteration doesn't mean it's not important to test that everything in that first iteration works. Hobby projects? Less so, particularly if it's just me writing software. Howev

Are you really going to ditch StatusPage that quickly? I'm not a huge Atlassian fan myself, but StatusPage is a great tool.

As far as I can tell, Jira sells well to enterprises because it focuses on features that enterprises like (lots of accountability and metrics and charts and graphs and shit, extremely configurable). But it doesn't sell well to develope

For a language I'm getting spun up on, I use a plain text editor like TextMate. I like to know everything that happens to my code from when it's written until it's compiled/run. For languages I'm comfortable in, IDE

Gerrit is the wrong solution for truly agile software development. I had a client ask my team to use it, and it was a real PITA. The fact that one commit = one merge is ridiculous. It encourages monolithic commits for no reason other than t
