I have an application that started being developed and deployed in squeak. I then moved to Pharo when it started. I had almost nothing to do, just a few changes to the way I was dealing with character encodings. Slightly over a year ago, I

I worked in a few startups before joining a few large companies since then. The truth is that there is an incredible variety. Not all large organizations are the same and it may be very different from department to department. I have worked

All this claiming would certainly benefit from being more specific on the motivations for the claims, otherwise, this is just yet another mindless debate. My understanding is that the original article was making this claim because one reaso

In the case of a car, not really, the assembly is entirely different matter dealt with by a different team. The car's blueprint may have to change to accommodate assembly issues but the car's blueprint is really describing the car not the a

I understand how it can be used against an army but a lot of bombing is meant to impair infrastructure and production capacity. Such a weapon doesn't address the real concern of modern warfare: civilian populations are more and more impacte

Ah, how it brings back memories! I did suspect this level of sophistication. It also remembered me of that talk about collaborative diffusion which used pacman as an sample application. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiobjects

I'm using raphael for a visualization project and it works great. The big advantage over canvas is really more significant when your drawings need to be interactive since you can tie event handlers to graphic objects. The problems with it a

I believe it is just a question of the number of employees and of when the organization started. Want it or not, the state is a large and visible employer.

I've been to a private school where the teachers were unionized. They were with a different union association than the public school teachers. This was in Canada, not in the US but I don't see why it would be different.

I don't think it would be that much of a problem. Its not like he would be the only "loose canon" in academics.

There are still laws covering unmarried couples living together with or without children. You are not out of reach of the law changing because you are not married. If you have no contract, you'll get the default anyways, its just more troub

I don't know about where you are, but here you can mary just by signing the papers, no ceremony. And if you don't like the default terms, you can have your own stuff in there. Heck I've been to a marriage where the word marriage was actuall

Marriage is what you choose it to be. Who says it has to be forever or be considered a failure? Its just a way to say, ok we plan to be together for a while and we'll share a lot of what we have. Let make that official and even have a contr

Not to mention an excellent occasion to meet girls you'd otherwise never see in a bar or a club. They are wearing their nice clothes and took good attention to look good, you often even have an occasion to get them to dance.

Marriage is also a contract and way to make the relationship official or public. It also make sense in that perspective to invite many people and to publish the information to make sure everyone is aware of this commitment. I find it always

Well... as far as I know, json by itself is just objects with fields, these fields are either objects or string values. Of course you can do all you mention but you'll have to build a convention on top of json. So reading these json payload

Think what the author meant is that XML allows documents where the structure is less predefined. It can be the markup that drives the interpretation. With a JSON payload, you need to know how the whole is structured to know how to use it, o

Right, I am puzzled too, especially since that according to his graph it was actually overnight prints that was the cheapest with better quality than vistaprint. I don't see how with these results the author can recommend vistaprint unless
