Woah woah woah. I live in Toronto. Mississauga is a suburb. They got out of debt by getting into bed with developers who went wild with unrestricted development. All this wouldn't be out of the norm if the mayor's son wasn't a developer and

If it's asking for FTP details, the problem is that Apache does not have write permissions to the files. The UX is pretty bad in that it doesn't let you know that it doesn't have write permissions, it just ignores that fact and presents the

I know people that use a similar approach (albeit) with git. Comments are hosted on Disqus so the entire site is essentially read-only. WPSuperCache is used on a staging server and the actual public-facing website serves up static pages tha

You can upgrade WordPress automatically now without using FTP. It means that PHP has to execute with write permissions to the files involved however. Exacerbating this security risk, a lot of people run mod_php which means PHP executes as t

It seems the entire linked story was misleading. The dev mentioned the app was a finalist in a Google Android competition. Apple didn't reject it but suggested (whatever that means) the description be changed to remove mention of being in t

The app wasn't a finalist. You can't enter an iPhone app in an Android competition. Logic like this is what makes people think Microsoft Office for Mac is as full featured as Microsoft Office on Windows. They're too very different products

Actually it's really simple to understand. Last time I checked, Google had a trademark on the word Android. An integral part of trying to assert a trademark is enforcing certain usages. Otherwise people start calling all similar products by

True, though I don't want to leave you with the impression that it's a mish mash implementation. It's more of a silo'd approach. One section of the website might be a wiki, so we use a particular tool there. It's a self-contained unit but p

You don't have to choose a single option, even for a particular project. I've worked on websites/apps that have integrated 2 or 3 different server-side languages and frameworks. If you have a programmer that says "eww I'm not touching the W

Clubs do well financially when they go mainstream. It means much more liquor sales. This is a lot like websites who also love it for increased ad sales. The problem is that the masses do eventually tire of the same club. That, or they simpl

Why should Adobe save Flash? They make money be selling developer tools. They don't necessarily need to save the Flash format. Their main dilemma is ensuring that sales of their tools does not drop, and instead continues to increase. One ta

College in Canada has a different meaning than in the U.S.. Here, it means community college. The equivalent term in Canada for an American college would be university. In Canada there are no universities that I'm aware of that have DB2 on

I am not a Flash developer. But with the exception of this past year, I've gone to Flash in the Can conferences and loved viewing what the Flash community has developed. There are some really beautiful works of art, proofs of concept, games

This is where posting anonymously is beneficial. I have used the services of a higher end escort before. It was completely legal, and despite my hesitations it was a pleasant experience. I had a couple of rules: 1. She couldn't have been fo

I've worked in places where we've hired professional writers to get out our message. At first, like any smug technologist who thought he had a perfect grasp of the English language, I thought they were a waste of money. But what I didn't re

I pretty much concur with potatolicious' assessment. I'd just like to add that it took some visionary thinking to get to where we are today. The city anticipated during WWII, that cars would be the preferred mode of transportation for many

You know, I try to give unions the benefit of the doubt. I think they still serve a function and I am not ideologically opposed to them. But then we come across incidents like this: http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/ttc/article/754297--is-he

The startup time of FireFox 3.0 through 3.5 on my MacBook Pro was horrendous... measured in tens of seconds. I just installed 3.6 and it is much better. It doesn't feel like I'm opening up Photoshop anymore, geez.

You should read biased news sources, only they should include those that espouse the opposite of your preferred bias. If you're left-leaning, keeping up to date with Fox News is like doing unit testing on your belief system. Likewise if you

I have a client that's a non-profit. They've got the best IT infrastructure I've ever seen. Non-profit does not always imply limited budgets. That said, is the organization in question a charity? If it's a charity, then keep in mind that mo

Ahh I misread your first post. So you went on a 900 calorie diet that wasn't necessarily a protein modified sparing fast. Now, at a macronutrient level you just eat higher protein and fat whilst avoiding carbs. Are you certain that you didn

by 9oliYQjP 17y ago
There's a tiredness and "brain fade" associated with these sort of diets. I'm not so sure it's the carb cutting so much as it is the extreme calorie restriction. I used a protein sparing modified fast (which Atkins is a form of) that advoca

Slow and steady works. Rapid and fast works also. Different tactics are needed for the different strategies. Your hunch that carbohydrates are important is indeed correct. The protein sparing modified fast that I was on, as outlined over at

They do work. Thras looks like he was on a form of Protein Sparing Modified Fast. They work really well. I've done the same thing. The tough part about these diets is transitioning out of the diet, but if you follow the "maintenance" modes

Did you offer to liberate the 1.0 branch of code? I think that's what I'd be interested in. Take 1.0 and deal with the "ugly" parts. I'm sure Allan thinks the source code is somehow too ugly which is why he did a ground-up rewrite. But what

Apple doesn't use the x87 floating point unit. They've never needed to because they can rely on the SSE2 unit since any Intel Mac ever created has one. This isn't necessarily the case on the PC even though every modern one will have it as w

I never thought about it that way. I was able to make huge strides in learning. All the time to myself coupled with a desire to prove that "a degree doesn't matter for me" was a great recipe for my self-education. I look back and was not a

Sounds like me from earlier on in this decade. I'm doing fine now. People just assume I have a degree. The only thing it has hindered is the possibility of me getting an H1B and working in the U.S.. After I dropped out, I was really paranoi

I'm not disagreeing with you. But I want to point out one thing. Here is an excerpt of a letter from the founders that is part of their IPO filing to the SEC. It clearly implies that the Google co-founders envision their company having mora

I have made some harsh comments toward TechCrunch recently about this very issue (just check my comment history if you're unfamiliar). My suspicions were true. But now it's time to dish it out toward Fusion Garage. If I were Fusion Garage a
