I didn't get this at first, but the author was saying that CentOS is not a suitable substitute to emulate Amazon Linux in development environments . It's very reasonable to use CentOS as both development and production environmen

I think you might have gotten it wrong? I think it (Swift's internal/default) is more like "package-private" in Java. It looks almost exactly like C#'s internal: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/

Something that many B2C developers may not be aware of, but for businesses that interact with a small number of users (most of B2B), it can be incredibly important to track a specific user. The expectations of privacy are definitely altered

Used this article before and he completely misrepresents SpineJS. Asynchronous UIs do not need an algorithm such as operation transform (the technology behind Google Wave). OT is about collaboration in a federated network. SpineJS does not,

That's very pessimistic and doesn't happen in practice. Basic politeness is key to interacting with other humans. If Dorothy happens to do this, give that person feedback and address it on a human level rather than putting walls between p

I just do not get it, I guess. Colocation is one of the biggest things that make teams work. Putting any kind of barrier creates nearly-instant havoc. For example, my current team was working on a particular platform (web) until we needed t

I've trained several people to used Git across a number of projects and technologies. This is, by far, the biggest head scratcher of git. People can get incredibly caught up in the fact that this is the default behavior. +1

For those that did not catch it: #1 used a metaphor to prove the point that using metaphors is not superfluous. golf clap :) The question is: did the metaphor take away from the point? Absolutely not. In fact, it helped to solidify it. ==

When I need to draft a document that shows visual objects and relationships (e.g. architecture diagrams), I jump into OmniGraffle. The reason that this is my tool of choice is because the input mechanism is mainly through an outline tool. I

It isn't entirely false: If one assumes that bugs are introduced at construction (the writing of the software) then you can use that as a fixed point to determine the cost of bugs based on when they are found. Which, using the original stud

None of them, if you click through. I just looked at the list and thought to myself, "Twitter released Mustache.js? They also released webrat? No.. that does not make much sense." and did not realize until I clicked through to those repos a

It appears that Twitter is the source for all of these projects, which is not the case. About 14 of the projects are forks of other repositories on GitHub. Many of the project descriptions include references to their parent projects but it

In the ideal libertarian world, there is a free movement of peoples. People are free to move from one location to another in order to best optimize the system. This is great in theory but breaks down in practice. There are physical, bureauc

In the case of a "everything is automated, only a small portion of people are needed to produce essentials and even advance" society, would we just be better off with a system that relied on the altruism of the few to make the lives of ever

Just a minor correction: It is pretty widely accepted hypothesis that politicians do not "corrupt" when they are elected to office but that corporations support politicians which favor their positions. Politicians that have money have legit

There are many parts of this article that boil my blood. The biggest of which is the use of "Groupthink" to describe a practice of creativity. Groupthink has a very specific meaning in many peoples minds which does not apply in this situati

You have to understand that the system isn't that simple. Bills do not exist in a vacuum. You cannot view these things as independent and completely unrelated to everything else going around it. Yes, the President could veto the bill but th

This is an incredible achievement. The "key traces of water" is awe inspiring in itself. However, what is more impressive is that Opportunity is still chugging along 7 years longer than predicted and making these discoveries. Unfortunately,
