APC exists because PHP reloaded source files each time a script was executed through your webserver. No such parallel exists in Ruby; once source files are loaded in a process, they stay loaded for that process. In theory it might allow for

Doing taxes on a 1099-MISC is pretty painless. I include several on my returns each year from various side projects.

Sure, it was state aid to business, but it wasn't free money - the treasury received assets and equity in return for the purchase, which it turned a profit on. If you're going to put the cost of TARP up as a case for tax-and-redis

Income equality has jack-all to do with absolute income levels. The richest getting richer at a pace greater than others doesn't mean that others aren't making money. Real income is up for all quintiles since the 1970s, as are con

Wild Kratts is actually pretty good stuff. It tends to be the go-to for my kids and I hate it a lot less than most of the other options.

Oh, it's absolutely a personal opinion. Everyone will react differently, and I truly hope that the folks that work there feel that it benefits and fuels them. I totally get the idea behind open workspaces, and while there are positives

This barrier is even less of an imposition now that we have intra-office IM as the norm. If someone is in their office with the door closed, drop them an IM that they can read and act on when they're finished with what they're doi

Yikes. The push to eliminate any sense of personal space is, I think, reflective of the new dynamic between employers and employees - don't set down any roots, you may not be here long enough to matter. Don't expect me to commit t

One has to keep in mind that the average cost per employee to the employer is about +40% over the employee's base wage (taxes + benefits, per BLS data). $9/hour costs the employer about $12.60/hour.

The 1.55 micrometer pixel sensors are interesting. If they actually do what they're supposed to, then exposure times should be decreased which would theoretically reduce the usefulness of OIS. I guess we'll see once the reviews st
