The point is, the female speaker appeared after publishing this post. I guess it's great the organizers relented. She was asking for what actually happened. The first reaction from the organizers to what happened wasn't exactly promising as

I like the solution I stole from rstat.us: you have an off-repository location for the token If there's none: * on production you crash, * on dev, you autogenerate one and save it to a config file that's possibly dev-only, * during automate

Hitler had absolutely no chance of long-term victory against UK and USSR, and Swiss also saved untold amounts of people who otherwise would have nowhere to go. They turned away plenty of refugees (IMO needlessly), but they saved plenty who

Which is how in the US death penalty is executed. Even the pharmaceuticals use are, as far as I know, either the same or very similar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_thiopental Of course, while this is a very humane way to execute an

Of course, but Swiss were not the only country that declared neutrality. Netherlands did that both during World War 1 and 2. And both countries were strategically interesting. Thanks to both geography and effective deterrence Switzerland wa

It's also worth to notice the way Swiss survived WWII. They sat on critical supply routes, and organized guerilla before anyone could invade, giving them an incredibly strong bargaining position. Keeping bunkers actually works well with tha

While looking for a flat in Amsterdam one of the agents I got was working for a salary, not commission. She was one exception who told me to talk to as many agents as possible, and not take whatever they tell me to. And yes, the "talk to on

Bah! Poppycock! My domain objects are also logicless, and I keep all my enterprise stuff in PL/SQL. Also, TDD is for people who can't do formal methods.

Of course — complicated logic is a good hint that code maybe should be moved somewhere else, be it the model or some manager class. Just like you moved (or maybe had from the start) the form elements into partials. It's probably not somethi

It's okay if that's the only case where the email should be sent, and other means of user creations should never, ever do that. It might be an issue if, for example, the email should be sent always, no matter how the user was created. Edit:

I'll give a proposal now: every chair of every developer shall from now on give them electric shock whenever they use the term "business logic". Ouch. Seriously, "CreatesContact" is not really a class. It's a procedure, function with side e

The hilarious thing about this is, of course, that Shakespeare is actually popular culture, we just glorify it because it's older than the word we made for it. And it's good, of course, but praising it as some kind of pop-culture antithesis

You know, Luxemburgerli are ridiculously expensive. But they're mostly marketed to adults, and as a luxury food that you get to indulge on, and don't even buy in huge amounts. This is different from marketing something to children, or makin

Just being hard, or even applicable in some cases, doesn't make it less of a magic bullet when someone suggests it's applicable to a broad problem.

It's funny, how you first said there's no magic bullet, then provided everyone with a magic bullet.

Too bad they feel like the main reason for keeping them in G+ is to make me join G+, which is why I still keep away from them.

I actually suspect I'll eventually end up being counted in those statistics, because I'll break and "upgrade" to join some Coursera/Udacity hangout. It will still be the only way I'll use it, but the stats will look great, I'm sure.

It's not even that the candidate obviously didn't read stuff. The guy was suddenly grilled about irrelevant crap by some jerk. Having a mind go blank in such a situation isn't exactly unheard of. And then consider, that such a situation alr
