I know dynamic languages are all the rage these days, and that Haskell is on the rise, but Scala is really sexy to me right now. All of my large-ish projects have been in either Java or Python (I've done smaller things in Ruby, Haskell, CL,

The nicest thing that I can say about XML-RPC is that I almost forgot I was using it on one of my projects. That never happens with soap or rest - with the former, you're always running into compatibility issues, and with the latter, you'r

Why doesn't the occurrence of suicide answer that question?

That's a drafting pen? Are you suggesting that for regular daily usage? You would have to pry my 0.5mm Pilot G-2 from my cold, dead hand.

I haven't said anything outside of "If you had no plans for post-baby career changes, then you were being irresponsible." If the debate is any broader than that, it's only because you are taking that simple, focused statement and falsely t

You're broadening the scope of the debate again. I said you should have a plan in place for issues like who compromises their career. How does that balloon into "put off having kids until things are perfect"? Of course, there are extenuat

Because it's such a huge surprise that having children will affect one or both of the parent's careers.

Oh, come on. His question was obviously in response to your statements about what happens to your careers, not about whether or not you had thought about your daughter's future. It's not like the career question is unforeseeable. Many peo

It's all in how you phrase the question, isn't it? Your analysis is right if we're talking about how a person's score on a driving test stacks up against the average score, gp's is right if we're talking about how people rank themselves am

Forgive me for asking the obvious, but what is the DOS defense on the application? Just a captcha?

The thing about those areas is that the feel changes from block to block. Soma felt a little sparse/rough to me, but there were definitely good pockets. I've got my fingers crossed that I'll be able to get into a place in the Mission, jus

I'm just moving here, too. I actually spent the last week walking around looking for a place to live. Potrero, Noe, and Cole are all way gentrified, good places to pick up some $5 mineral water from a corner grocer.

How does the user generate a legitimate new image? You aren't handing out the secret key to everyone, so I assume that's being handled in an application component?

I used jQuery once as a very quick drop-in to replace some inline js on an internal reporting site. It was fantastic. The changeover doesn't work in IE, though. I haven't had time to look at the problem in detail, but we're using XSLT to

At the risk of misinterpreting what you're getting at: the lesson to take from NSB is not "Don't switch languages" or "Switching languages is ineffective". The lesson is: "Software development is inherently difficult; don't expect that

Well, now that laserboy at ArsTechnica has weighed in, I think we can consider the matter settled. Let's all close the book on this one and head over to Fox News for some insight on foreign policy, then to Slashdot for a nice explanation o
