Forced myself to NewsBlur, deleting all my feeds in Google Reader. I mostly use the iOS app. While not as good as Reeder, its not bad.

So what are my real options for avoiding the JVM on new projects? Go? I'm not into functional save a bit if Scala. But not willing to invest time in something like Haskell. I also don't feel like Python is an option. Seeking mor

Thanks. I had not considered ElasticSearch but already ruled out Logstash for various reasons. ElasticSearch looks like the perfect starting point, gives me 90% of what I need.

3x24" screens at 1920x1200 each. More and more thinking I may be better served by a single 27" or 30".

DI will defer the injection to runtime instead of compile time, so you don't get the benefit of type checking during the compile. I've been bitten by this in the past with SpringMVC. It usually ripples up quickly and has never be

I've also found Tornado to be quite readable. But my norm is corporate closed source code which is pretty unreadable.

Right. I think Java does suffer from a little too much boilerplate, but that is solved by becoming proficient in an IDE which doesn't actually take too long. Even for this old hacker who only picked up an IDE 2 years ago after nearly 2

Oops. I meant to say Backbone not Bootstrap!! It was Backbone on my todo list, but Angular seems to be getting all the attention now.

So I was finally freeing up sometime to learn some frontend dev. Was going to focus on bootstrap. But would angular be better? I'm trying to build up a toolset to rapidly build admin sections for services I work on which don't typ

Funny.. Just a few weeks I was wondering if Marco was bored of Instapaper and tried out Pocket in case he was going to dump it. Doesn't matter, I ended up liking Pocket better after having been a long time Instapaper user.

Here's the problem. This morning I applied some updates (yum update) to my Fedora workstation (not a laptop) and now Gnome is failing to start due to a video driver issue. I can fix this, I've been using Linux on the desktop since 1996.

Unfortunately the term software engineer is used in Canada a lot. The only places I know of that don't use are places that also hire 'Engineers' to do 'Engineer' stuff.

Hehe. I'm in a similar position. My dream machine would be something like a Lenovo T431 with official support for OS X. Apple hardware is built to make you look like pro, Thinkpads are built for real pros. I have a MacBook Air and a Thinkpa

I can't believe all the talk about Finder here.. I bet Miguel is more like me than most of you, that is, living in a unix/linux terminal for the last 15 years or more - AND doing file management in that terminal! I've also gone to the Mac f

PulseAudio is good now. It was a different story for me back in 2007/2008 though.

+1 for the leap. 7 years ago I went to a local store to buy an Aeron. The guy sent me home with a Leap to try for 30 days - no deposit. 7 years later and it still looks and operates like new. And I haven't had sitting issues since I got it.

Writing code is boring. It's the project that keeps it exciting. I'm 3 years into a slump of boredom myself, but its turning around now.

Good read as I'm currently entertaining a 1% stake in a seeded company for 1/2 my market rate, with a valuation of $5 mil.

I used to think like this when I did my first startup as a technical co-founder. But in the end, I worked less hours, travelled less and spent more time with my family than the idea co-founder who marketed and ultimately got us the sales to

LastPass with a premium subscription so I can use the mobile app. I chose LastPass as I use Linux, Mac and iOS daily. I used to use KeepPassX, but eventually found that LastPass fit my usage patterns better.
