Yeah the Rails crowd are nuts about github, whereas pythonistas for example also have bitbucket.

C++ is is a loaded rail gun with a faulty safety switch, useful and powerful but dangerous to use! A journeyman programmer like myself has so much to learn once the basics are mastered, this doesn't seem to be the case in other languages I'

So who here purchased Old Spice or had it purchased for them (which was the original aim of the campaign by all accounts) post Old Spice Guy? I know I've considered checking it out but my aftershave purchase cycle is pretty long (years?).

It is pretty much standard to have a deviant art account as a young up and coming designer/artist. I have yet to interview one that doesn't have one in fact. Now if I only had some artistic ability.

Oooh I forgot another factor! Banks are pretty happy to let you borrow against your house. They're not likely to do so as easily with other investments. Means you can try to have your cake and eat it too if you're clever . . and perhaps a b

Buying is as much a emotional decision as it is a financial one. You have to take into account not only the how much you can afford and how much you want/would like your money to grow but what kind of lifestyle you desire. If the lifestyle

Interesting ideas though I don't know enough about kernel and language design to know if there are any revolutionary ideas in this or just an evolution upon current thinking. Anyone with a CS PHD want to highlight some important points for

What OSS licence will you guys be using? I was planning on spending the weekend holed up coding Django anyway so I will put my hand up to own a feature!

I think even laymen should learn the why of the statistics, a few paragraphs about statistical significance would have helped the article's author I should think. As an aside, wow another one of my favourite bloggers responding to a comment

Another common bias is if your are running multiple split tests in parallel you need to assign each visitor to an option in each split test at RANDOM. If you don't you'll end up with 50% of the users going though all the same 50% of the opt

This is exactly the problem with people implementing split testing and they're hurting their business. They hear about it, run off and implement the a/b versions of their pages and add some tracking. Proceeding then to draw incorrect conclu

A quick google search shows this to be unsubstantiated. Highly unlikely such a juicy tit bit wouldn't be on a reputable news site, let alone not on any site anywhere.

Steve Blank has a great series on a much hyped game studio he was a cofounder on. They had the whole gamit of media coverage inc wired before they had anything resembling a prototype. He learnt some hard lessons from that one. http://steve

In the comments he talks about how he wanted to find investors to work with that were smarter than him. Good move if done properly and at the right time. As the parent said resource scarcity can be good, see Duke Nukem Forever for what happ

Wow the pressure and attention on at such an early stage makes it that much more riskier. Bit hard to stay small and make mistakes early on when you're in the glare of so much public opinion. Not saying he can't deal with it, but I wouldn'

Hmm a tenuous bit of second hand information and it would be nice for the military to have someone outside their ranks to blame. Is anyone else thinking Adrian Lamo is trolling for attention? Never hurts your career prospects to have your f

It is a hook, a clever bit of marketing oneself and I haven't got a problem with that. I have an interest in a female peer's perspective on our industry. I have yet to work with a female coder and feel my working environment would be improv

I have a different interpretation. I think Calvin is a pretty normal kid in the scheme of things and that the comic is a commentary on medicating our kids . . . not to be kids! I'm not a ADHD denier but my reading suggests that it is both o

Tolerates? It is their business model! We use CentOS all over the place in our development and internal infrastructure. But when we have to feel confident that a server can be maintained and secured reliably we happily pay our RHEL fees.
