About the community reaction, I can really recommend this video: https://fosdem.org/2014/schedule/event/gnome3_outreach/ It clarifies a lot of thing and is a bit of a post-mortem of all major switches th

No, public healthcare makes sure you get on your foot again an then tries to get their money back as any other insurance would. So, the public makes sure the damage of you being hurt, unable to work and maybe turning out to be a case for so

That's a common misconception. If I loose a leg, the driver will probably never be able to pay the sum, go through personal bankruptcy and leave me with a nice sum I sued for, but no actual money.

It would still be integrated and build by someone putting on the hat of a developer for a while.

That might sound a bit surprising, but I found that feminist groups can be very pragmatic about this. Meet up in person, make sure there is no one trolling the discussion and that goes very well. The problem with public discussion is that p

Well, a stereotype is not necessarily unfounded. In the region where I come from (around a chemical factory), it wasn't hard do describe populations in a certain town as "chemical workers". You'd probably describe 60% of

"Built for Developers" - well, I certainly hope so! Who else would a JavaScript library be built for?

The article concentrates on aspects that are certainly archaic - the expectancy that a taxi driver knows every street in a city. On the other hand, it totally ignores the benefits of the regulation: the client can have normalized expectatio

On the other hand, the pizza delivery man stays on the road and does not fly in front of my office back window at random times of the day.

MRI picked its version scheme in the 90s, long before "semver" was a thing. That kind of version scheme wasn't unusual in that time. Problems due to legacy don't make a good argument. The Ruby system cares for semver in

Only if you treat it as a framework. Sinatra is a great library.

Don't equate Rails with Ruby (some projects follow semver very closely). Rails follows a shifted semver version, as documented here: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/guides/source&#x2F

Considering that a forum is also not the most high-traffic kind of application, I do not see the reason why you should use a high-performance K/V-store (with all the tradeoffs coming with it).

Durable != ACID You can still create an inconsistent state in Redis easily, even it persists well.

A lot of what he describes sounds a bit like Hyperfocus, which is not always a good thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocus

There are people using node as part of their desktop software for scripting. Atom for example. Vagrant that.

So, let's go fix it. Sorry, but complaining about the base platform behavior doesn't help much if you want to build software on it.

If you are building a new language with serious ambitions for usage, you should really take a look at how well the Rust community has turned out to be. The "Buzz" you experience around the language is largely fueled by lots of ent

Probably because they are the first tries in an environment where even the language is rapidly moving. I don't expect any of them to survive in that form once Rust 1.0 is out (my Sinatra clone certainly didn't).

Dell makes very good flat-screens for an affordable price, e.g. the U2311H was a really nice one.

For a good example of how the result sounds like, I recommend the UT soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MSFW8pZ-_4 It has a pretty distinct feel to it, IMHO.

I'm not buying this. It basically says "there are a few concepts in Ruby that map nicely to Swift". There are quite a lot of concepts that don't map, for example evaluated classes, which enable things like: class F

What kind of question is this? Ask any politician, public speaker and successful fundraiser whether rhetoric matters.

I am not sure of that. This might be fueled by a lot of negativity, but many people I know care 0 about ergonomic reasons, even if it fucks up their body while working. Chair too low, not configured, table not at the correct height, althoug

Speaking English as my third language and having learned the British flavour, I agree with that fully.
