I don't think the US is perfect by any stretch of the word. I just have a hard time imagining a third party deciding that Iran is the example they'd rather move towards if given the choice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_

you wanted to link http://webnoir.org/ the .com is somewhat different.

I think it varies from company to company. A day or two ago there was a link here on the main page to a company's recruiting puzzle. Being unable to resist such coding challenges I knocked out a solution and fired off an e-mail afterwards a

In addition, while you may not ever make an OS, you will most definitely make things that have to interact with an OS. Understanding the world your application lives in and some of the constraints the designers of that OS faced will make it

One minor nitpick, working closely with developers isn't always an option or necessarily a good idea. Working too closely makes it easier for assumptions and to get transferred over. I really like having testers who can take a completely fr

Did you look at the source code? At all? it took two minutes to find a bug in the application just messing around with it. The application is supposed to display warnings if your temperature or relative humidity is outside of acceptable ran

Good find! I need go find the dailywtf submission form. I've only glanced at the code but my favorite part so far is using integers 0/1 as booleans and putting "myValid1 == 1" everywhere they want to check if it is true. Didn't they list in

I can't help but get warm fuzzy job security feelings when I see something like this, someone actually paid money for that. Well specifically I paid money for that, warm fuzzies taken care of.

I'm leaning towards the much more likely possibility that the confluence of browser variability, third party plugins, and a javascript chat client clashed in a bizarre way. I've never had an issue with gchat related to ad block. Although ba

Very much this, we informed the client that it was going to cost them more, and we itemized time spent fixing IE6 specific bugs and layout issues so we could offer them an idea of how much it was costing them. They needed this kind of data

Who says we still need them? I can't say I've ever even thought of using one. This seems like a mountain out of a molehill, they are only taking advantage of people who make the mistake of using them.

Experience really, but the key is the granularity of the requirements. The more well defined the project scope is the easier it is to estimate and the closer I find my estimates to be. The more information you can get out of the client abou

I'm developing on a 4 man team trying out Jira+fisheye+crucible. I have no complaints so far and the crucible review process is pretty slick.

Agreed, I spent the entirety of the list going "Yes, this is a good book, but where's Gene Wolfe?" Anyone who loves literature is doing themselves a disservice by not reading it.

I have a github account for my personal code, and we host a gitorious server internally at work for proprietary stuff. Having used both they are interchangeable on the mechanical level (duh) but the user experience for me on github is far b

I guess repeating exactly what he said while managing to sound both disagreeable and condescending is a change from your outright misrepresenting and troll like posts earlier in this thread I'm not sure it's a change for the better.

I'd disagree with your last statement. I enjoy the mathematically simplicity of the address into your array being pointer+size(index) as opposed to pointer+size(index-1). Now I will agree that it's probably because of too much math, but it

Others already recommended great books, but I think it might be helpful to clarify one thing. I'm extremely pleased with the breadth and depth of my undergrad education; I'd never encountered ropes, bloom lists, or skip lists. These are all

I just amused myself by figuring out when rounding would kick in, I set the delta of cash in and cash out to 100 and put in 99.99 then just began appending 9's to the end until it switched from 'now' to 'one month' never has .0000000000000

How do you plan on maintaining the somewhat arbitrary measurements (the metrics) between a steadily growing stock of books? Also are you relying on user comments to derive the score on these scales?

I'm glad I refreshed first, I'm also curious if there's a common theme in why they decide to move on.

Msysgit is what I use and I really enjoy it. Git also has a Visual studio plugin now you can use if you prefer GUI to CLI. I don't know enough about mercurial to offer a good opinion, does it offer something equivalent to hooks in git for s

When you're debugging and you make that assumption that the error certainly isn't in one section of code so you should look elsewhere, check that one section of code first.

Read the article linked in that link, even he comes straight out and says "This is in no way a Hitler biography." It's a bad sign when your linked citations contradict your point. The rest of it is an anecdotal and largely unrelated mess, y

That link gets stupider each time I have to read it, which humorously enough is each time Card's name gets mentioned in any topic, it's a new abstract Godwin's Law.
