Try to see it from the other side. The "About Thoughtworks" is just how companies talk. The fact that it looks exactly like an official ThoughtWorks PR broadside makes it even clearer which side the company is on. No "this is the private op

Thanks a lot, this is going to save us a lot of time and worry. No particular recommendation, just one vote for Rackspace images here.

As secure as the current system, which involves someone reading the number out loud over the phone. As each code is only valid for a one minute window, and our profile is not that high, I'd say sms will do.

In my todo list there is a line for building one of those for the guys I just started working for. It will sms the number to the phone of the developer requestiong it. I will probably be using an old netbook, though.

"Threatens"? How about "promises"?

Mi guess is that her phone remains unrung, even [from] [there] in Israel, meaning she isn't getting a callback either from Yahoo US or from the local Israel office.

I too have a Lenovo x220. I use Jupiter [0] to manually send the computer to "power saving" mode. With that and the extended 9-cell battery, the screen only slightly dimmed, and wifi at full blast, I get around 7 hours of battery doing brow

They work for me fine in Melbourne (frequently) and Madrid (though I have used it sparsely there).

I said "rent medallions for five years". Not one year. You can also have the medallion be for life, but not transferrable nor inheritable.

Use a lottery. This is what lotteries are for. Allow only individual drivers to hold medallions, set a price or a profit sharing mechanism between city and drivers, rent medallions for five years instead of selling them, and award them acco

I rarely say this, normally preferring a scannable transcript to one-dimensional media, but... is there a video or even audio of the presentation?

I was thinking of doing something like this without the GAE component, purely on-browser. Obviously your solution has many advantages, like automatic browser compatibility. Also, it exists. Is it open source? I'd like to help you add other

Found a bug: "instance : What you get when you tell Python to create a class." Of course, what you get when you tell Python to create a class is a class. This one should be: "instance : What you get when you tell Python to create an object

It uses prefix-free, which is a script, in order to be cleaner-looking code. As the author says: > The JS used is prefixfree - just to make the length and size of the tutorial short and easy. No images or JS are used in the stopwatch lo

Read again. "1.4 the size" is 40% larger, not one fourth the size.

I studied at Complutense University in Madrid, Spain, and I didn't have to pay for my degree either, because I was working as a custodian/porter ("conserje" or "bedel", if you read Spanish) at Politecnica University also in Madrid. Even tho

I don't see how it replaces HTML. At most it manages HTML. Also a question: can anybody knowledgeable tell us how Opa compares with Meteor? Both of them seem to follow the approach that any piece of code can run in either the server or the

I just tried to use dryscrape [1] for a project. It's great when it works, but it's not liberal enough in what it accepts [2], so it gives off showstopping InvalidResponseErrors (which make sense when the library is using for BDD, but not w

Fair enough, but "OSX is not as well supported as I'd like" is a far cry from "has stopped development". FWIW, I get the updates just fine through Ubuntu PPAs.

by candeira 15y ago
Why would you think development of fluxus "has stopped"? The mailing list [1] is active enough for such a minority project, and the git repo [2] shows a reasonable activity for a mature (i.e. "done") project, with functionality commits from

My answer, not really, but what that part of me that flies off the handle feels like answering: Dear interviewer, This is not a reference. I don't respond to douchebags with manipulative reference requests. Thanks for letting me know that

I don't know the title posted originally, but I would say that "Lessons James Altucher learnt from Shark Tank" is arguably a better title, and one that's more faithful to the original article. If we read the pronoun "I" in a James Altucher

It seems to me there is a need for a browser extension framework/polyfill that allows you to write code once, deploy to any browser. Would that even be possible?

Being in the same position as abhaga, I would like to add: Can you also recommend projects that have very good tests? It would be very interesting to rewind a project's and study how the tests and the code were written in parallell. Thanks

I know you are joking, but the idea is that different levels of service are given by different people, and they may be layered one on top of another. I believe the term used these days is IaaS, Infrastructure as a Service. Amazon EC2 would

Python doesn't need a switch or case statement because you can write a suite of ad-hoc functions, stick them in a dictionary with your values as keys, and dispatch on the values: >>> def first(): ... print "a"

In my opinion, the real learning comes from doing the exercises. So if you are reading the material but not doing any quiz or exercise, you aren't learning as much. And if you aren't doing the exam, which has a time limit and you can't repe
