Yes, and? The amount of messages is equal, the amount of profanity per a set of commit messages (which is what is measured here) is not.

Really one of the most useful startups I've seen in a while. I would definitely use their service.. but, unfortunately, I usually need to send faxes to non-US numbers and that is, at this moment, still not supported. Still, great job, you g

There are two times when you'll be better of programming in XML. One is if the language you would otherwise be writing in is Java. You would rather implement business logic in XML than in Java? Seriously?! Personally, whenever I see logic

5.25 DD was 360 KB, and HD was 1.2 MB. However, there were also QD 5.25 disks which held 720 KB. But there were no 750 KB disks. Man, I feel so old right now just for knowing that...

The title is misleading. The point that the author is actually trying to make is that adding Scala to an existing project can be harmful. He does not say that Scala is inherently harmful for large enterprise projects, in fact, he explicit

why they want to staff up on average to below average programmers 1. Because they don't want to spend a lot of time looking for developers - it's far easier to find a Java developer than, say, a Ruby developer, simply because there's so m

Your last paragraph actually has a very good point - why do companies insist on changing the employee passwords every month? Chances are, if somebody got hold of your password, he/she is not going to wait a month before using that knowled

I don't get your point. The choice of a language determines how a company will be run? No startup would ever use Java to create their product? Java is a bad language because it's used in large companies? What was your point exactly? Or is

Yes, but fortunately, there is not much reason why anybody would use double when developing a banking system.

They should have mentioned FidoNet If you want to, you can mention it - the article is a wiki, anybody can edit it. But, you do need to have a registered account.

I know I wasn't logged in because I don't even have a twitter account :). But, your assumption that this may be a proxy issue is almost certainly right, since I accessed the page from my work computer. I tried it now from my home computer a

Hm. It reported I'm on Twitter although I wasn't. Both on Chrome and FF. JavaScript was enabled. A bug perhaps?

If your code is covered with tests, why would you be afraid of rewriting it?

Why wouldn't they use closures and other new stuff in Java? It's the same like it was with generics - prior to 1.5 we used raw types with casting, but when generics were introduced we started using them instead. When you encounter some olde

Ok, I don't have a Facebook account nor have I ever had one. I never felt that I need it. My friends (those that I truly consider to be my friends) have my phone number and they can call me any time, either to ask me to meet them in person,

I agree with you about the verbosity of Java, it's driving me nuts. Also, overuse of XML in java-related frameworks/platforms etc. I mean, when it gets to the point where you have to use complex logic to perform a task, you have to start wo

It seems to me that this is a classic case of "guess the answer I'm looking for". The interviewer is obviously impressed with the concept of a Bloom filter, and I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with Bloom filters, but that kind of

An excellent point. Blacklisting works both ways, and there's nothing stopping spammers from creating hundreds, maybe thousands, or even more, of throwaway Google accounts just to blacklist the original site. Sure, the logged in Google user

It would be interesting to build this, then run Ada Lovelace's program on it. Imagine that - running software that was written in Victorian times on a computer that should have been built in Victorian times.
