Actually burning midnight oil is a myth. I mean we all know the myth: You grab your coffee, black as night and sweet as sin, you sit in front of your computer with your favourite IDE on. Then you code until the sun sets and you go home with

Nope. Not trust, because they are open source and I can read the source code and I do read source code. Although this is kinda derailing my argument. I am saying, they don't have my data - not voluntarily if I accept your argumentation and

Wow... that is just wow. I mean this is the latest evidence that Ubuntu does not listen to user feedback. First they shove unity to our throats and trolled everybody who disagreed with it. And now this. They are really stretching the defini

Thank you. Far as I understood there is no easy way to handle those errors. I'll take your comment into consideration when I start to learn it.

Biggest gripe I had with rails is its learning curve. I have started to read Michael Hartl's impressive tutorial book but gave up when I started to deal with errors related to gemfile dependencies (if the versions do not match with the tuto

Well, that was what I gathered from the part I'll about to quote. But considering English is not my native language I might have misunderstood his meaning: "As explained in the book, this table is reproduced from an earlier publication:

So yeah, long story short from what I gather is: I couldn't find the referenced sources to the table I am referencing so it must be false! What a leap of logic, seriously...

don't "delete" the done items. Hide from my view but don't delete them. Because at the end of the day I should be able to see what I've done for today and what has been left for tomorrow.

True. There is no better word than "schizophrenic" for how it feels to operate a Windows 8 machine. I can see their reason for it. Pushing desktop paradigm into mobiles didn't work (Older Windows Mobile editions with start menu and all that

Hell, yes. This is one of the kickass ideas I've ever seen in a while. Simple, matter of fact and very usable. Thanks!

Be serious. You'll see that nobody is planning to kill school books, if you can read between the lines. That could have happened if the ministry had restructured the educational system to use tablets effectively. All they've done is scan th

I don't know about Greece but the statistics in the page are quite disturbing to read. You do long work hours to be more productive, but in the end (probably it has more factors than that but I am simplifying it) it doesn't do you any good

Sweet! I hope "keeping the devs happy" trend continues in Sony. Maybe this way someone will freak out when s/he sees unencrypted passwords stored in the database and does it in the right way.

This, I believe, depends on where you get your education. Graduate school teaches something in where I live but it is mostly memorizing the right information at the right time (like finals or visas) then you can safely forget it. If your gr

Nah, I don't buy it. Especially the last bits. I write a technical blog because it is your duty to educate nontechnical users about what you know. The old fable of teaching a man how to catch fish comes to mind. This is never a bad thing, a

Actually what you knew, except algorithm design, if else, loops and other metaprogramming essentials, is worth nil in the coding business. Anything you know specifically related to one language will quickly be outdated until you graduate or

This is just a palliative cure. The genie is already out of the box and you just can't put it in. The problem lies with our habit of giving away personal information like cotton candy. Combine it with lax security/privacy measures and this
