   The article doesn't make it clear what sort of security features the author would like to see in NoSQL databases beyond SSL support, which they then admit is offered by MongoDB's "commercial offering". Never mind that the commercial version

   I'm just about done with an Ivy League degree in CS, and I've already seen the advantages of it. Recruiting here is ridiculous; I've gotten an interview with every company I've applied to, and that was true two years ago when I was applying

   Also, keep in mind that an Arduino with networking capabilities (i.e., Arduino + Ethernet shield) is $30 + $45 = $75, three times the cost of the RPi; this is the first hackable device (that I know of) to have networking capabilities for &#

   Watchers are (often) the people who use the software you make, and the exact kind of people you want to keep interested in your project. They're the source of useful bug reports and feature requests, and you want to keep them involved in th

   What about only publishing notifications for tags? Most people only use them to tag releases (or RCs) so the creation of a new tag might be the sort of thing people would be interested in knowing about.

    I think I know which speaker most of these points are targeted at, and I agree in reference to that specific speaker. However, the majority of people who went up to the microphone emphasized the first two points here. One of the best moment

    On many keyboards, there's an arrow pointing to the left on the backspace key, which may be where the convention comes from.

    What is Xtend supposed to provide that Scala doesn't already provide? It looks like their setting out to solve a subset of the problems that Scala deals with already.

    It's not about getting adjacent lines with equal depth to line up. Its when you are indenting, and try to put yourself four spaces in. In a fixed-width font, you can just line yourself up with the fourth character of the previous line. In a

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know why they want to bring everything into /usr/ instead of bring everything in /usr/ out? While we're simplifying, it seems counterintuitive to put everything deeper in the filesystem. Why not move /usr/bin i

    I'd like to know as well -- my team (~1MLOC Java product) upgraded from Java 5 to Java 6, and then Java 6 to Java 7, by changing a line in our build script, and everything worked fine.
