It's pretty normal, I've seen crowds of 10-15 people at each apartment in the city when I was looking for one myself. 3k/mo for a 1 bedroom is absolutely normal outside the sketchier areas at this point. These days the startup crowd who can

I'm talking specifically about developing. I have to continuously switch between Ubuntu and Mac (and very rarely Windows) and I would prefer to do all of my work on my perfectly capable linux box instead of purchasing expensive Apple equipm

It would be certainly amazing to be able to develop iOS apps on Linux, but I doubt Apple will entertain the idea.

Check out http://www.ironaddicts.com/forums/ . I trained under both the founder (he passed away, very unfortunately) and his successor. Couldn't recommend Mr. Pinder any higher, but if he doesn't have openings right now, I'm sure he'll be

I wish there would be more studies done to support McGuff's theories. I find his ideas (including the ultra-high resistance machines) fascinating, and do hope they turn out to be correct, but I'm also really skeptical of anything that's not

Are there off the shelf solutions that do exactly what you mention and don't cost a fortune? I will DIY if that's the last resort.

I've experienced some quirks with nanoc as well, although my site is ultimately simple enough that I don't have to mess with Rules that much. I'd still be interested to try it out. How painful was porting nanoc to middleman?

Ex-Jekyll and Octopress user, been very happy with nanoc as well here.

How does this compare to Google Navigation (or Navigate?) from Android? A viable replacement?

Aren't there simply enough people in the field to make most IT workers (I include both programmers and "system administrators" in this category) completely interchangeable? As long as the majority of the workforce, the bottom of the pyramid

Haven't had any trouble with replacing Unity with Gnome 2/3. The one time I stuck with Unity for a bit and discovered you could snap windows to the side of the screen (a la Win7), I was instantly sold.

I suspect there's no causation relationship between the two. I remember reading some time ago (no link, sorry) that older, more experienced, wealthier and better connected entrepreneurs will on average outperform the stereotypical 19 year o

My question then is: where is the sweet spot? What's the right amount of OOP before it becomes overkill? Is it perhaps a matter of domain, and therefore some domains will benefit much less of OOP?

I generally agree with you, but it really depends on the context. You can never abstract the development side from the business needs, and those trump everything. In a fast business with a very small team and a very short runway you often h

Also as far as I know VM doesn't let you "bring your own phone". You can supposedly fake a serial number (or whatever identifier they use) of another phone that you purchased, but that's unadvisable. I hear that Simple Mobile and Straight T

Agreed, screens need to gain higher resolution across all form factors. I would be ok with terrible frame rate for 1-2 years while the hardware catches up with 4x the pixels.

I was going to post the same thing, but I'm just going to hook onto your post. I've been roaming the web for a good high res desktop monitor for development purposes for a couple of months and there's simply nothing out there. Based on my r

To clarify, my comment was only related to the didactic aspect of the program with respect to software development. Regarding everything else, the business side in particular, I completely agree that you cannot do much better in mobile than

Why not an Android app instead? To develop an iPhone game you need a relatively modern Apple desktop/laptop (at most 2 year old if you plan to run xcode 4.5, thus fairly expensive) and an iOS device (the cheapest you could go would likely b
