"A lot of the "OMG Scala <3" stuff being written recently comes from people who have written Scala books and therefore kind of have an agenda." My guess would have been that they were excited about Scala before they wrote the book.

And that URL becomes longer still! http://dickensurl.com/399/I_revere_the_memory_of_Mr._F._as_a... . I think the joke is that Dickens is known for being extra wordy as an author, and to make a "tinyurl" service using his works would be...

I think you want more than a lot of data. That's a good start, but you also want it to be structured in a way that requires some thought (or just in 3+ normal form). Have someone ask for a report out of it (or come up with as many reports a

For my own situation, I've not started one. It's still a dream, but one I've kept on the wayside by working for startups as opposed to having my own.

"I like low taxes. I like no taxes even better. But taxes that create arbitrary opportunities for gaming/avoidance aren't really in anyone's interest." I don't believe you. Evidence: "California /is/ losing money..." I'm glad you pointed ou

Does Amazon matter? As I recall, the article talks about taxing anyone who advertises on California-based web sites (servers?). How does one tell? I was under the impression Amazon had warehouses that end up delivering in most states, since

"Sounds pretty reasonable on paper..." No, it really doesn't sound reasonable when you look at it on any medium. This is incredibly unreasonable. Even if we accept that California should be allowed to force companies to collect tax that ope

I really like this idea. Felt it was worth more than an upvote. Great way to get a little bit of market research without much cost or effort.

So I guess the thinking is tha 5% is worth the access to other VCs? I ask because $10k seems ridiculously small: if I had 4 people saving in my team, we could get $10k together in a month or two.

I agree with you, but if you get detailed, you might also question the use of "culture" as in "who has the testing culture again?" to be more indicative of Ruby developers as a community (which is a word the author also uses in praise of it

It's a good question, but I'd have to say: only if you equate "nonstandard" with "considered harmful." Needless to say, I don't. For one, there is a large difference between the spaghetti code that can result from liberal and injudicious g

Amen to that. I've often wanted to send emails out and specify the time they get delivered. But don't send it at the time we specify - send it out plus or minus two minutes and some change. There's nothing lamer than saying to yourself "Wow

It's a great question that we should all be thinking about, especially the entrepreneurial among us. But -- even given my short time here -- I'm surprised it didn't get killed due to the liberally editorial headline. As for "Make Me Dinner"

What about cases where you want to illustrate that the something being done is not "standard" -- to provide an extra hint. Either way, there is at least one case where the custom block iterator doesn't cover the usage of "for" - where you n

How does one go about showing that there is no way to solve such a problem? What about the argument that perhaps the author was not clever enough to devise an algorithm which solves the problem he stated? Perhaps when I read the papers I wi

I draw a line between defensive programming and paranoid programming. Paranoid programming looks like defensive programming run amok, and you've described it rather well.

Not being a nine-year-old girl forging lead hand tools in a communist sweatshop tops my list. After that, challenging work is the idyllic and romantic answer. But damn, that compensation sure is alluring.
