about 10 years ago i was assigned to a project to build some in-house HR software which required me to interact with quite a few on the HR Team (the dev team, both of us, even moved our desks into their area) for about four months. aside fr

nice one--just checked your source and you're absolutely correct. I'm not a Mac OS so i had no idea how Cocoa methods were prefixed, but i recall listening to a reply of session from the Apple developer conference around 2007 in w

well the author of the piece is Josephine Livingstone; she might be British. I don't know whether she is; but i do know that i have read article by her in the Guardian which is a leading newspaper published in the UK.

no, Butler has it right. His use of the term "bill" refers to the cost of US participation in war; All of the wars he's talking about took place outside the US, so de minimis US citizen casualties still i would agree, and i b

this is extraordinary i say this for several reasons. One, Smedley D Butler is one of perhaps just three former US Marines universally regarded as demi-gods (the other two are Sgt. Dan Daly and Gen. Chesty Puller). Their official photograph

read the title and my first thought was that i hope they don't mention any developers by name in this Post, especially not me. actually nothing to do with developers--it is literally about monkeys.
