That is, unless the author considers "America changing its mind" and "judicial thought" to be the same thing. I immediately picked up on this as well, the common theme being what federal and state courts thinks.

I am learning Haskell. Could you describe an example/s of Haskell and music theory not working together? I am genuinely curious about this.

I agree with you. I think part of the risk is suspending what you think is right and accept what is in front of you and the possibility that it will work. It was really the sinking realization that this is truly not going to happen that led

I took a big chance on something that failed. Simply put, don't avoid the warning signs that it is failing, even if others feel that it isn't. Here are a few personal examples: 1. You believe that your company will get paying cust

The biggest challenge is to understand and find the simplest case and deal with the hard cases when they happen. I had to learn this over time.

I am rather fond of Sqitch and pgTAP as tools for database development.

Get rid of the XML and you have a good start, I'd say.

I'll deal with the problem when I have to. However, the point is that I'd rather use SQL, it's simple as that.

I once agreed with this, but now I don't. I just want to write SQL (dammit!). I can never, ever remember the intricacies of the Sequel API or any one of these query builder APIs. I am always looking up something that is rather trivial

I made the switch. YMMV. However, with all the bumps I went through, I'd rather have the minor issues I have now and then instead of going back to OS X. I switched for the same reasons, but the lynchpin was the constant issues installi

GitHub as a requirement? So, I can't write a Meteor app without GitHub? :(

... And what a shock it was to see that Ruby is not more popular where I am in Europe. However, when I was looking for work, I had other skills to work with. There is plenty of JavaScript jobs here, outside Java and .NET. Possibly though, t

I'm acquainting myself with contemporary literature of my current country of residence; specifically the contents of newspapers. I'm a good American now? Or, is my sarcasm down-vote worthy?

I am working now. I am going to stick with this for a long time now. Whenever I want to go into a venture, anyone I work with seems to have serious issues. I worked with someone who was a bit too controversial, another too attached to the b

Making a big difference at a startup actually feels worthwhile when you can trust that the people around you also are making a big difference. Otherwise, it's just pitifully useless work. I agree with this, of course, and would bear th

I feel a similar fate befell on me. I wanted to gain things from working hard at the startups I was employed at, but it turned into dead-ends. I even tried being a bit entrepreneurial myself with a startup founder, but that fell flat. In pa

Sometimes I wish I can do more server-side rendering etc. I have been working on single page applications for awhile now; I miss the ease that is afforded by just capturing state through server-side page transitions. Specifically, with SPAs

I read this all the way through because I love reading articles that bash OOP. I haven't read an OOP-bashin' article in awhile, so it is great to read a good ol' bashin' that is current. There were a number of times I gi

Simple. I grew up in the US, but am in Norway now. I have Norwegian ancestry that comes from my grandparents. Doesn't matter whether here or there. Mix Lutheran-piety (even if Norway is quite secular) and a bit of boredom does help in

I back up this recommendation whole-heartedly. Sqitch is a fantastic database tool. I stopped using Rails-type migrations because of it (I write PL/pgSQL functions and wanted a migration tool to handle that well, amongst other reasons.

I grew up with it as a child but I went back and forth with it when I decided to stop caring too much over it and accept it as something that is good, in itself. The problems with people are always going to be more fundamental than what rel

I grew up in NYC and after a number of years avoiding a driver's license, I did get one (but like in 2006). It was "freeing" to own a car, but the glamour of it faded. I moved to Staten Island for a few years, and there, you

The biggest point for me about this vacation time is how slow things are when you need to find work. I got a lot of "we'll be recruiting after the summer vacation." Oslo is probably different, I bet. Regardless, I am securing

I moved to Norway recently myself, but from New York City, where I am originally from. It is something I wanted to do for a long time, in part because my grandparents came from where I am now. All these points are true (cost, permit, etc.),
