Clearly they cherry picked the tests What's the point in creating new test to cover things that existing tests already cover?

have someone read out said thought exercise to see how many of them remotely understand it. Many of them don't understand it and don't care - they were told to vote for it by the party whip and so they did. Bought and sold.

but to be fair, these are hugely correlated instruments That makes them more risky, not so? How did they get the AAA rating then?

It's one of those essays that sounds deep, but I am questioning exactly how deep it really is. Oh well, I am still questioning then.

Are you asking if you can target .NET 4.0 with VS 2008? Highly unlikely. However, VS2010 will give you a choice of Runtime versions from 4 downwards. VS2008 will give you a choice of Runtime versions from 3.5 downwards.

The VS2010 UI may look similar to 2008, but it's quite different in implementation - the VS2010 UI is all in WPF. There are various benefits from this, but I don't think that speed will be among them.

I think the article is unduly harsh but I think it makes a valid point. It's sort of a live by the sword, die by the sword thing. I disagree. To me, assuming that the situation really is as described in this article, Apple's response come

Oh, and don't forget about thousands of writes per second, which was conveniently not part of this test. What's that you say? The performance is suddenly complete shit? I'm not convinced that read performance has to suffer for writes. Rea

There is lots of stuff in SQL server for backups, hot spares, clustering. It can be fault-tolerant if you set it up that way. I wonder if you knew about that functionality, and if not, why make claims in ignorance.

He wasn't aiming for 1:1, he was trying for a ballpark, and he got 1000:1 improvement on modest hardware. On a fricking laptop. That's all in the article.

I too am a huge fan of SQL Uh, he said "fan of SQL Server", which is Microsoft's SQL product. Fans of SQL Server tend not to be fans of mySQL at all, since SQL Server makes mySQL look like a "bottom-feeder" in the original poster's words.

But even if you define "socialist welfare state" broadly, as "some of the left-ish countries in Eurpore that have a comprehensive social safety-net" (and purely by co-incidence to be sure, also are peaceful, democratic, affluent and have a

Yep, that's the point where the alarmist and biased article descends into superstitious doom-mongering. It's a pity, the topic deserves a better treatment than this. How about submitting a better link to replace it?

What was the largest team using Scrum that you felt was still effective? At my job, there's 30 people at the daily stand-up Largest feasible scrum team size is around 12 people. Daily stand-up should take less than 15 minutes. If you can

A quality team is necessary but not sufficient. Practices like waterfall development can hobble them. Or worse, the people who could become a "quality team" don't, and don't even know what they are missing out on.

we've gotten good enough at filtering spam If we had (all of us) the parent's point would apply: spammers would not be making enough money since no-one would respond. So for some people, spam is still a problem when are fooled by scams.

It's the fault of the teacher's unions. 12 years of school gets you no employable skills. If they simply started teaching car repair in grade 8 to everyone by grade 12 everyone would be employable (since there's an unlimited supply of car r

Spotify allows you to make and share playlists. I think last.fm does too. Get playlists from friends (it's like a mix tape, only hi-tech), if you like a track, click through and listen to some more of the band's output. Listen to the radio.
