I think the way controllers work here is similar to Ruby on Rails? It confused me in Rails at first (coming from the Java world), but I think it is essentially just a hack to allow for "easier" passing of data to the view (the controller ge

I'd design it like a Cobra to stress the fact that Soda is toxic... To each their own, but I like my hackathons to be about bettering the world.

I've frequently heard the story of people being asked to slow down because they make their colleagues look bad. Also the premise of the movie "Hot Fuzz" :-)

This would run completely counter to my intuition. I mean telling the existing people beforehand that a super awesome person will join them soon. Wouldn't that make the existing employees hate the superstar before they even know him/her? Al

This case was a percentage of their revenue? But Tom called for 50% or 100% which seems excessive for such a nonsensical law.

So you would send people to jail for not giving dumb users a browser choice that is only going to confuse them anyway?

I think BitCoins are fractionable to more than 8 decimal places, it is just that the current clients only support 8 decimal places. If the need arises, that part of the spec can be changed without problem (so I seem to remember).

Since BTC is at an all-time high, at the very least if he didn't believe in BTC anymore he could get out now without a loss. So he still seems to honestly believe.

Normal people forward silly jokes, or fake virus warnings, or fake cancer donation calls and stuff like that. Not sure it is that hard. Perhaps you could even monitor popular news sites for trending memes (for example trending YouTube video

It seems a bit scary that forwarded mails can be changed. As a spammer, send something interesting and make it an ad when forwarded?

Stock brokers are a bad example, because that is essentially gambling. Also playing around with some API will make me better in using that API. What are some meaningful metrics for becoming a better developer? Personally, I'd like to launch

That's a really funny search, though, does that kind of thing come up often? Is it for people doing "Interrail" in Europe (travling Europe with a train flatrate)? Because otherwise, it can take you a day to get from one place in Europe to a

Apart from what others said, perhaps faster downloads also would lead to better user retention.

It seems unlikely that the ad was put together because "programming might be fun", and the people behind it just want kids to have a little bit more fun. Why not make an ad about skateboarding instead, or playing video games? In the end it

Couldn't the fashion problem be solved by making hats cool again. Already some hipsters are wearing them, should provide plenty of space for hiding computing gear. Perhaps even the projector into the eye could be hidden in the rim of the ha

"Please create a new password by signing into your account on evernote.com" I dunno, isn't logging into a site that has just been hacked exactly the thing I don't want to do? For that matter, linking to a hacking announcement on a hacked si

Maybe it could be scripted? Site owners would have to place some proof of ownership on their site (to be generated on the site of the forum owner - see Google web admins site verification), then a script could detect the faulty links on the

In some cities it is illegal to just busk anywhere. I think in Munich you had to get a license to play anew every day, which means getting up very early and queuing at some office (never did this myself). Certainly no licenses for playing o

Just wondering, when consulting I usually take care that there are appropriate clauses in the contract to make me not liable. But what is the rule for employees, are they automatically insured? In Germany there is the concept of "Fahrlässig

No. I mean people can tell you their opinions, but the reality is that nobody knows - as in all other investments... Now that I think of it, at least with BitCoin there can be no insider trading, because there is no company that owns BitCoi

My son is 2,5 now, too. I definitely plan to let him get some martial arts training before starting school. Not sure what age would be good, but I suppose 4 at the latest (maybe sooner). It seems like a good basic skill to have in life... A

I'm glad that punching back worked out for some kids, but I would be wary of inferring a general rule from that. Might be the kids for whom punching back didn't work out just didn't tell their story. What could also happen is that the bully

The thing that strikes me about school is that people are pretty much locked into it. Once you get out of that system, if you are surrounded by nasty people, you can usually just leave. That's what I do, anyway. With school, not so much luc
