Don't know, but it is a question I get from people coming from Java from time to time.

I don't share your opinion. The multiplayer is so great that we still gather together every year and fly missions for a night. Balance of Power added great coop missions that needed team-play and sticking to your role. The most interes

So, put in you calendar: Both February 24th and December 25th usually see Ruby releases. Don't install on the 23rd or the 24th ;).

Ruby was first released in 1995, development started in 1993. So, both numbers are right. "Ruby's birthday" is traditionally the start of development. The most interesting info is: Ruby and Python are both not influenced by J

RubyInstaller is usually a few days behind, but updated properly nevertheless.

They wrote a whole new Basecamp. There is no migration path from Basecamp Classic to current and the feature set is not necessarily the same.

Firefox and Firefox OS are very different things. Also, considering that desktop programs are usually optimized for speed and not for memory consumption, I don't see the issue with 176MB?

Mediocre page break support, just to start with. (there is some for print media in CSS, but nothing fancy)

Eastereggs are a simple way of getting sympathy (for the less geeky ones like 'tilt') and geek cred (for the geeky ones just like this). Probably, some engineer just built if for relaxation (or training with the code), so the cost

"All else being equal, why would I hire someone that works 40 hour weeks when there are a ton of other people willing to work 60?" A good one is that this person has no clue of business, resources and the general nature of deals.

Depends on what the conversation is about. The ring on my finger? (similar to the example above?) No-no. The weather, because it is summer and hot? Ok. Just banter. The crowded store and the fact that I had to stand in line 5 minutes? (&quo

Cultural behavior differs widely even between regions. Whats true at your bank could be entirely different 500 kilometers down the road.

Does it matter? Simply put, I parse that as a creepy attempt of simulating a personal relationship that just isn't there.

It's a thin line to walk. I would feel quite different if that happened to me.

Jim was a silent star of the Ruby community. Some newer Rubyists might not see how important his work on Rake was on Rubys road from a toy language to a serious development environment. Also, Rake was (to my knowledge) one of the first libr

Sure, it was a subliminal message to get more upvotes. I am truly sorry for that.

Well, SS2 didn't really stand the test of time at the time it was released. It was released 1 year after Half-Life and looks much older ;). Still, if you can look behind the graphics and can somehow relate to the time back then, it was

Well, the whole Irrational Games/Looking Glass thing is a messy one, so I decided to skip that for the sake of an eulogy. I see Irrational as a successor to Looking Glass, although I would prefer LG to be still existing. I am split whe

Irrational created some of my favorite games, because of the amount of thought and attention to detail they poured into them. I loved most of them. * SWAT 4: How cool is a multiplayer shooter where you actually have to breach a room from mu

Another data point to imagine the depth: USS Thresher imploded at a depth of 1,300–2,000 ft. The implosion took 0.1 seconds. That was a ship of ~3500 short tons of mass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Thresher_%28SSN-

I understood that as a temporary constraint, not as a rule. More like "you used this style a lot during the last assignment, this time, try something different". Working under temporary constraints does promote learning different
