There are also many other factors that come into play when developing code, particularly if it's as part of a team working to a schedule, that have nothing to do with technical competence. In agile development you always prize somethi

I've taken a different approach and store all my dotfiles on Dropbox and then symlinked them the local system. I get synchronisation between machine almost instantaneously and can move between around half a dozen boxes Including Linu

Any reason why this is stuck in browser? I've got most oif the raw data (man pages) already on my machine and the closer this is tied to command line the more likely I am to use it. For instance I'd love to be able to do; ex

What I find surprising is that the telemarketing systems don't appear to be filtering out the dialling of 0871 numbers.

For me John Harrison remains one of the greatest Britons (despite coming 39th behind David Beckham and Princess Di in the 2002 poll - http://alchemipedia.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/100-greatest-brit... ). Whilst he wa

I think the distinction he was trying to make is that UNIX skills are those that are transferable between UNIX modelled OS's e.g. shell programming, administration, application development. Whereas a Linux pro would be someone whose skills

I agree, this is what Google do. They change the game to suit and then play the new game well. In this case they wanted the mobile world to adopt an open, UNIX model OS with a Java stack not owned by Sun/Oracle. Job done. Let the games

Isn't one reason to put some form of license/copyright on your code to stop someone else putting a license/copyright on your code? One that explicitly prevents you from using it.

My take. At the lowest level all software is built on solid logical statements. Yes or no, true or false, one or zero. Developers live here. At the top level are the whim and desire of feature requests and defect reports. "let us imagi

I admit I'm not saying that ThePaperBay necessarily offers the right solution but I am refuting your claim that there isn't really a problem. The issue here is that there has always been a problem. Academic output should always have been

I think I'm right in saying that by emailing you a copy of the PDF, many authors are breaking their contract with the publisher. It's a few years since I published an academic paper but I've certain signed over my rights more times that I

One limitation of the spreadsheet approach to rapid application development is that, in typical use* your code and data tend to be tied together. This creates a testing problem where you tend to confirm results in just one scenerio. I pre
