TDD by Jason Gorman is a nice (and free) introduction: http://codemanship.co.uk/tdd_jasongorman_codemanship.pdf (disclosure: I did Jason's ~TDD training course a number of years ago and gained a lot from it - but the b

Here's the thing: interviews are stressful and unnatural and they provoke anxiety and a fight-or-flight response in a lot of people. That fight-or-flight response shuts down parts of the brain that evolution considers unnecessary in an

Absolutely. A good book that I read a few years ago is The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane. The premise of the book is that you can learn to be more charismatic by working on your mind to cultivate greater confidence, greater warmth and

Depends on the language. 120 for Java. 80 for Python, Puppet and shell scripts. I don't believe in mandating an absolute hard and fast limit but I'd reject a pull request with unnecessarily long lines.

Do you use an ad blocker? My friend at The Guardian (whose HN account is new so you might not see his reply) reckons this could be caused by an as blocker messing with the CSS.

I started working for a startup when I was your age and had two years of my degree left. Luckily, they were happy for me to work part-time. The company ran out of runway shortly after I graduated and was acquired (for peanuts, as far as I w

This comes up every so often on Hacker News. The truth is that this isn't a bad joke by IBM. Rather, it was a stopgap measure that was created at a time when DataPower had native support for XML but not for JSON. A later release of Dat

For me, I don't think that the longer titles are any better than the shorter ones, at least for the examples that you give above. Looking at the articles themselves, they have completely different titles to the ones that you picked (bo

I run Fedora 20 on a Thinkpad W530 at work and have few complaints. It's a high speed machine, is well built and, aside from a few hassles running the proprietary driver for the nvidia graphics card, it just worked from day 1.

I don't think that userbinator is complaining about gcc's licence so much as about the unnecessary complexity of the codebase. The accusation that I've heard levelled at gcc in the past is that the code is structured such a w

(Another) IBMer here. As far as I am aware, Bluemix doesn't have built-in support for Clojure but a few of us have played with it and there are a few ways that you can run Clojure apps: I wrote a blog post about my experiences running
