Right. As long it’s super obvious which type New creates, it’s perfectly fine.

Meh. I can’t remember the last time I’ve actually read the education part in CVs of developers I’ve hired and I’m not regretting it.

In many ways PostgreSQL is fairly similar to Oracle and it also supports its own version of PL/SQL. There are tools to automate migration of both schema and data. I reckon the real difficulty of such a transition is updating applicatio

Voting is a solved problem. I’m not saying that the idea of using bitcoin technology to solve problems beside monetary systems is a bad idea (in fact, I think it’s a very interesting concept), but really, democracies around the world alread

Assuming that OP has no EU citizenship I imagine it would be very, very difficult to obtain a (work) visa with a a US criminal record. Showing that you have no criminal record in any of the countries you have lived in the last X years is a

I wonder how you get people to believe in a mission if scepticism forms an inherent part of the culture. I‘m talking about the UK specifically. I feel like it would be very difficult to get the English guys and girls on my team to take our

Basically the important bit to remember when using dynamic languages in production is that you have to be extremely serious about writing (good) tests. It’s easy to get lazy when using a statically typed language as the compiler will do muc

This is very good advice. Except that I would brush up on .NET (in a week or less) instead. He would make more money.

Couldn’t agree more. Database constraints should be thought of as the last line of defence against madness rather than as means to validate input. Database constraints are not really suitable to defend against attackers. Constraints might s
