It's been pretty well documented that presentation affects the perception of taste. Adding some fancy adjectives (and possibly a fancy price) to the menu can make people perceive the food as tasting better. I believe it's been sho

Very cool idea. It actually reminds me of how the Azure PaaS offering (Web & Worker Roles) work - you just send up the code you want to run and they run it. It's different than the unikernel because under the covers Azure is runnin

Tangentially, what you're referring to as "real" and "fake" problems also go by the names "essential complexity" and "accidental complexity". Essential complexity is the inherent difficulty of th

Where exactly are they going to bury it in the middle of a city? They're not capable of digging up concrete, lawns, hard-packed dirt, etc. So they're either crapping in the open, or they're digging up somebody's garden,

Everyone in your neighborhood would like to thank you for encouraging your cat to crap in their yards and letting them pick it up. Get a litter box and clean up after your own damn pet.

I don't know about that, frequently the "cause" that you're alerting on is also a symptom. "DB down" is causing your webapp to fail, but why is the DB down? Misconfiguration, hardware failure, power outage? Hec

25x is another way of stating the commonly-cited 4% Safe Withdrawal Rate. It wasn't invented by MMM, it's from the well-researched Trinity Study[1]. If you're planning on a higher withdrawal rate you're probably heading

Yes, but I believe it really only applies to actual employees (W-2 employees in the US), not contractors. If your contract ends or is cancelled and you can't find anything else, Unemployment Insurance isn't going to help you.

In some cases they're giving the opportunity to self-incriminate for speeding. Maybe they didn't get a solid read on their radar gun, or maybe you saw them and were slowing down already when it locked, so they may have no actual e

I do like how C# handled this, FWIW. public int MyProperty{ get; //public private set; //private-only setter } but obviously there are a lot of ways to skin that cat.

They do, but interestingly that particular assembly is not included. Or at least I couldn't find it there.

Wow, that is some fancy work. Though I shudder to think about deploying and maintaining that fix, and bringing new developers up to speed on why and how it was done. I was also about to tell him to skip all the ildasm stuff and just use the

A few commenters here suggested building the base out of flat plates for strength. But as I understood it, the maximum load was determined by the properties of the plastic. The plastic became fluid, rather than the structure of the pieces f

You could just use TinEye[1], which looks at the actual image data to find copies. I know some artists use it to track down illegal copying, but I'm not sure how accurate and effective it is. http://services.tineye.com/

(responding to @dgesang here, because of max comment depth) The conventionally-grown food looks similar, tastes similar, and people have been eating it for decades with no major, obvious consequences. So at first glance they are equivalent.

I believe one of the big changes in ASP.NET vNext is the ability to deploy outside of IIS. Other types of projects, notably WebAPI, have been able to easily deploy outside of IIS for years. I actually just converted two WebAPI projects to s

That's true, they open sourced the new-hotness compiler that they're moving to. The Roslyn compiler is still in preview, hence it hasn't had time to make it into Visual Studio. But I believe it'll be in the next version.
