That's a process/standards issue, not a problem with comments! If a team is so poor that they don't properly document what they do I suspect that the comments is the last thing to worry about :)

I've been a die hard iPhone fan for many years, but recently switched to the HTC One. Blown away by the build quality and feel - it is a major step up from the iPhone 5. Ubuntu on the HTC One would be very interesting!

The "best", and one of the longest, rages over capitalisation of the letter T in The Beatles. Seriously.

It's funny but this is not really true. We've just finished a massive UI test involving a choice our users have to make during sign up. Various graphical images illustrating the choice caused more confusion than a short sentence f

Which really drives into what is wrong with a) the media and b) the populace; apathy. The 99% just don't care unless it is on Youtube.

Corbett is a great read, just the right amount of humour about a deeply serious matter. I've been following his TSA blog for a while now and his tenacity is impressive. For me, what he is now running into is deeply concerning beyond th

> Do you think there are limits to what young people will do in front of a webcam? You misunderstand; by borderline I mean that the observed age of the participant is subjective. And it relates back to the age old issue; at 17 years 364

I missed your use of the word "producers" in the original post. So, yes, raw numbers... but that's only a minore part of the picture. The kind of material you describe is very much borderline, and not really the sort of CP that the law is l

In practice the law is interpreted though. Not just for CP! When an analyst looks through some images they have to make a subjective judgement because it is very hard to judge age in many cases. To be clear; striking a suggestive pose is

That's simply not true. CP is a massive black market business - operated by sex slave gangs in various parts of the world (e.g. Eastern Europe). They are sophisticated and wealthy operations, which is why it is next to impossible to make an

All true. But. In my time as a computer forensics investigator in the UK I never saw a case like this. That's not to say errors were made (don't get me started) but I am very cautious about this particular tale. For example, there is no w

Relatively little danger, with the proper care and attention (it pumps oxygen from the surface). Also, watch some of his interviews, he seems very competent. Finally; sometimes a little bit of danger is what makes things worthwhile :)

So out of interest; what's it like in India at the moment, buying online? For example; with Amazon in the UK and can order before about 5pm (often later) and have it arrive tomorrow. That even works for some marketplace sellers. Is there co

Yes, but that's not the skillset that the OP was advocating paying for. Your code I am sure is excellent; but we're talking about the other factors, such a project management, specification and UI design. etc etc. Also, in some cases there

by ErrantX 13y ago
Oh nonsense. I charge a premium over some of my (business) friends because I work full stack plus project management. But those friends are just as competent, at the coding.

by ErrantX 13y ago
Often enough, there is simply no need to have someone "imagine it better", because paying someone to get your spec done is enough. As the technical ability of the customer goes down, the input, and therefore the cost, of the developer goes

It's a common complaint about Python, that's all :)

by ErrantX 13y ago
I wanted it to be pure Python because I love Python. That is until I had to work with threads. After spending some time working with gevent, I decided to simply use another language to deal with that. If I could have a penny...

There are a number of factors in play. But without knowing how the priced seats, and the number of capacity flights, this could just as easily be normal growth as it could be the impact of extra seats. Not that I'm saying you are wrong, j

Yes, Etsy is stuffed with Asian mass production firms. So this is really weird to see. Just check out "macbook pro" covers, nearly all are mass produced & shipped from China. For example.

Not only that, but they have a significant markup on rooms. So if they can fill rooms otherwise empty they will be happy to cut the margins - because it is all extra money! Also, it means you'll probably come back next time.

I've come about face on this approach; which is what I always used to do. Now I find a shortlist of independent hotels via booking.com or lastminute, and then contact them directly for deals. Usually you can get a higher quality service for

These are somewhat circular arguments, of course :) And really the "right" answer depends on the viewpoint of the observer (i.e. whether you approve of profanity or not).

Ive owned a 911; it's a brilliant car and one of my favourites that I've owned. :) And I agree with everything you've said. One of my current cars is an MGF; I love it. It's unreliable, isn't very good at acceleration, can be a bitch to dri

Sure :) I was picking old languages to match pg's choices a little. But if we're talking today, I think Python is the Cadillac :)

By specialist I mean "big learning curve". I tried learning Lisp once and felt that it was an obviously powerful language, but there were easier languages to learn that would do as good a job for general purpose needs.

This is a sadly shallow article; where I think it fails is in recognising (and responding to) the core of the criticism levelled at Arc. Instead there is some pithy comparison to 70s cars. The 911 is timeless for a number of reasons: Porsch
