The post mentioned that they are using the cloud version (that is, hosted by Atlassian themselves). I also use the cloud version and find it painfully slow. We have probably less than 200 issues logged at my company. We have 3 users for our

Existing PC gamers are a fussy bunch. There are plenty of people who play games who've never heard of Steam, and whose friends aren't on Steam, but who are on Facebook. A lot of those people might be ripe to get sucked into the

When my shell program gets longer than a few lines, it's time to break it into some makefile targets with intermediate files. I have in the past written a moderate size program in Powershell (installer for a program which needed a lot

Maybe the reasoning is backwards? Given 4 limbs, how else would you layout an upright walking creature? The same across-the-chest muscle setup that makes us good at throwing also allows us to throw an effective punch. "push against the

I'd say web's request -> response model is pretty well suited to functional programming. It seems popular amongst JavaScript programmers at the moment as well. React, which appears the current hotness, is based on making a func

If someone actually did reinvent Access without the concurrency data-loss problems (but still as a single file per database), they'd probably make a lot of money.

I enjoyed this, although it was mostly over my head. I'd suggest adding definitions or simple explanations for the acronyms. There are a lot of them, and I spent quite a lot of time Googling as a result.

Onshore wind is quite a bit cheaper than nuclear at this point. It is politically difficult for aesthetic reasons though.

I'm tempted to think that the volatility of oil prices may actually push people towards renewables. They doubled in the years leading to 2008, and since then have plunged three-quarters. If Saudi Arabia's bet pays off, and they ma

So I'd say Nginx is actually the least annoying web-server to config of those I've used: 1. Nginx 2. IIS 6 (strange metabase thing) 3. Apache (XML, mostly) 4. IIS 7, 7.5 (XML, but with some of the files scattered through your Wi

In particular, ElasticSearch offers the possibility to include snippets of scripts from a number of languages (e.g. Groovy) in your search. If you do so, the file-access capability of those languages remains available. I'd be surprised

I did read the whole thing - it was a really well written and enjoyable article. I did have to slog through though, because of the yellow on purple. My favourite bits: Waterfall as a expression of power and hierarchy within an organisation,

I first learned them properly by reading through [ http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html ]. I'd also recommend the website as a good reference for when you forget things.

How does this work if 2 or more people are working on the same program? I then have to understand what other people's pictures mean, so then not much has changed: you still have to learn the meaning of symbols, but those symbols are pi

Powershell has some pitfalls of its own (I still much prefer it to Bash despite these): 1. Dynamic scoping 2. Squashing lists of size 0 to nulls and size 1 to single elements when they come out of pipes. 3. Incomprehensible AP

The correlation might be backward: the top 20 YC companies by valuation probably have enough cash to buy the domain name that matches their company name.

I'd say this is a pretty sensible approach. Ultimately if you want to understand JavaScript properly you're going to have to do it barebones for a bit first, so why not start there? The only caveat is that JavaScript is still real

ESRI is an interesting example. On the one hand they make have some seriously talented cartographers who have made some astonishingly beautiful maps, and surely they should be able to copyright that work. On the other, they actually do prov
