What are they eating unhealthy in that movie! Boxes full of sugary donuts, cream cakes, piles of empty Coke bottles. I hope that nowadays they serve better food at those kind of companies.

Even more exciting than these kids learning Ruby is that they're learning programming . After they have a grasp of the concepts of how to program a computer, they can expand to other languages (or stay with Ruby ;-) I think programmaticall

It's not that hard to install a source control server, whether it's git, svn or mercurial.

Hmmm.... maybe I should change my setup then, and somehow fill the DNS server with names from the database, instead of relying on a wildcard. Thanks for the insight!

This is interesting news. My use case is indeed having many subdomains together with a wildcard DNS like '*.somesite.com', and I'm not designing some nefarious plot to redirect 'notexistant.somesite.com' to an ad-serving site. Instead, a

"Chrome also tries to find out if someone is messing up with the DNS (i.e. “nasty” ISPs that have wildcard DNS servers to catch all domains). Chrome does this by issuing 3 DNS requests to randomly generated domain names," I have a questio

I wonder whether I'm allergic to 'Eehhh...' and 'Ahm...' interjections? When a speaker uses them multiple times in every sentence, I only hear the Uhms and Ehms and Ahms after a while.

I wouldn't call it 'programming language suicide'. Are developers who are working on Perl 6 intent on killing Perl 5? When generics were added to Java, was that done to eliminate the Java language? Nah, people are just progressing. Over t

There seems to be a obsession with version numbers: People perceive these as if they must always have the latest/greatest. For example, when MSSQL 2008 came out, the database admin at a company I work for upgraded the MSSQL 2005 database to

This article is from 2009. Clojure was not as well known as it is today, otherwise the author would certainly have mentioned it, because he came from Java. There is one commenter who mentions it, but it didn't pick up.

I think it means that your web app can survive being slashdotted. So, a lightweight C10K-capable frontend, all static content on a CDN, everything heavily cached, database queries optimized to the hilt, etc... etc... Some people think that
