I'm torn. I love open data, but I fully expect that someone will (partially) deanonymize this.

So the AssetServlet had a memory leak? Serving stuff from nginx is undoubtedly more efficient, but it would have been nice to know the real cause instead of just the workaround. If you work around a problem it has the nasty tendency to come

I'm not talking about myself, those are my experiences with hiring developers. During CS you don't learn how to write code, you're just learning about architecture and algorithms ;) There is just not enough real-world practic

Sure, as talent and willingness to learn is enough to hire someone. It will take about a year until you write "ok" code though.

Well, that's something we've all invented before. Why does it warrant a patent?

To get the $1.000.000 (one million dollars) he just has to send a small amount of money to cover legal and administrative costs. (sorry, it's good to hear (edit: if true...) that science is going strong in Nigeria)

They get "up to 1.25%" commission from the dealers, no thanks. If I hire someone for advice I want that person to be paid only by me and by people like me.

You may be right, googling doesn't take much time though. A Linux system without internet is indeed barely usable. Thos man pages are absolutely unreadable.

Well, nice functionality without good documentation is an absolute waste, so I can understand why this guy is getting wound up.

Yeah, she will relapse. Sad. I'm glad that she is a good writer and that I got to read this moving story. She would have had problems even if she was not named after her dead sister. Even if there was no dead sister. I hope she gets he

It might not be fair; it's just that in my mind one moment Microsoft was hyping Silverlight and the next moment they were discontinuing it. That's not a nice way to treat your customers. What Microsoft should have done is to make

I am serious. I didn't concern myself with it a lot, but popularity seemed actually rising (to my annoyance).

That's true, but at least Java applets died a natural death instead of being axed. I checked the history of Silverlight and the first version was released in 2007. jQuery was released in 2006 so Silverlight was a classic case of "

It's not a question of $ or of liking MS, it is a question of trust. Microsoft can and will suddenly discontinue entire solutions like Silverlight. I know of a company that is in real trouble because they first rewrote their entire app

So magnetic waves? Shouldn't those be called "electromagnetic waves"? What's new here? Just that they use a frequency that is transmitted well through the body?

We're using a few of their modems in bridge mode and then everything works fine. It's just the routing they can't do.

With some slightly questionable math you can turn 100 users/min into 7.2 million monthly visits. I guarantee you that's "large scale" enough. If you've actually got experience with deploying at your current job you
