I have to agree. First implementation of agile/scrum I worked with was a bunch of printed cards nailed to a board where in the daily meetings the PM used a pen to take hours out of it, or add more if we decided it was going to take more. Af

For me, Eddie Izzard always fits the bill. Search youtube and you will have a lot of stuff to watch. Old stand up, even when I know the punch lines, I still laugh my ass off (I'm talking RIchard Pryor, Cosby, Woody Allen, etc).

I can't speak for your child of course, but I can give you a little story. My wife and I went to the same schools since kindergarden (not same class) to university, so the topics and difficulty were about the same. She always had fantastic

I have the same problem with pool. Usually before the second pint I'm crap, 2-3 is the sweet spot, after that is downhill. But damn, I used to be in a couple leagues and those 2 pints really put me in the zone.

But exactly how? I'm not being rude, just asking. Apart from going to these countries and open a bank account or have actual money under the mattress, how would this work? My bank allows me to have accounts in USD and GBP (I actually have s

Such an overwhelming response. Thanks everyone! I'll try to reply to most questions here so they don't get lost: a) About moving somewhere else, I've done it before, actually, between 18 and 27 I lived in Scotland, England, Germany and The

Hey Portuguese here as well and I can vouch for just about everything phatbyte said as well. Anyone that has a little bit of success, in the eyes of 95% of the population did it either by a) corruption b) stealing c) abusing people/employ

For a game it really depends on scope of the game as the money for assets can rack up quickly. What is really important is if you don't mind outsourcing outside of your comfort zone, to places with lower cost of living (Portugal here, for e

First, I wish the folks from Stripe all the best, and the only thing I hoped was International companies support. But as anyone tried Saasy ( http://saasy.com/ ) ? They are the subscription service of Fastspring. They don't require a mercha

It wasn't an interpretation of MVC per-se but more of what I think the Model in any architecture should be. The Model can be used in MVVM and MVP as well and can be part of DDD way of doing things. And again, for me, a model should be a rep

This is probably my nitpick with people (not all) that come from Rails and tries to 'teach' others about general concepts by the way they are done in Rails. A good example is "In Programming, Fat Models Are Preferable To Size Zero Models".

A few notes on this: 1) and keyword for c++ ? It has been a while since I used C++ but it used to be &&. Did it change (I'm actually asking, not being sarcastic). 2) on the 'else if' parts, you only need to do one evaluation (the ==

This has been discussed in many places but ok, here goes my take. I hardly, ever, ever program at home unless it is something I can make money of. I like programming as much as the next guy, but between my family and my hobbies (which are m

As with just about every "How to motivate programmers" article out there, this is crap. As tjpick mentioned, how about treating us as normal people? Honestly, I like me money. Loads of it. 400 pounds for me = month's mortgage pay, which wou

Being Portuguese, I applaud this, but as the article said, lets not forget about the environmental (and local social) damage it creates. A lot of small shops that based their business alongside the rivers are now closed. Many fisherman that

To counter act some of your points: 1) you don't support big labels, thats fine, I applaud for it, but not supporting it means boycotting, not stealing the stuff and say you don't pay because you don't agree with it. 2) So you are ok with m

I think the main problem, and I do work as UX Engineer in WPF (though I develop for iPhone/Mac at home) is the experience. Windows has a "you are the developer, you choose how to do whatever the hell you like" experience, while Mac is more
