Well, it's probably the cheapest way to drive adoption. It isn't just web developers who want the change.

I'll answer your question and then engage in some shameless self-promotion. I wrote about it after posting my comment. Here's the chunk which answers your question: Where am I now? Heh. I mentioned that looking for duplicate files is harder

How long until someone posts that the "future of CMS" is actually a centralized index, with the data existing wherever it makes sense? Kind of a personal card catalog. FWIW, that's exactly what I'm working on.

They both miss the point, I think. Mr. Manjoo related a story about Firefox, and the crowd cheered. If there was really that much demand for it, then it was a failure on the IT department's part to know that it was wanted, and if they knew

Disliking a food or two doesn't detract from a person's very necessary social interaction. If a person disliked the flavor of all foods except one or two, would that be a disease? Given the serious negative impact this difference can have o

I look for a framework which satisfies 80% of my criteria. This saves me about 20% of the work.

I think the major publishers are missing out on an opportunity to define the next-gen of aggregators. What I mean is, part of the appeal of the aggregators isn't only that I have stories from a bunch of different places. An important part (

No doubt. To continue the analogy, I usually want some guy who's played a hundred gigs, with all kinds of different musical styles, and is going to be focused on doing his part well so he can go home early.

I didn't miss that part. That's where Jeff posts the criteria _he_ looks at. His assumption is that those criteria are not just good for _everyone_ who uses a user-generated-content site, but for _all_ user-generated content. Mr. Atwood thi

I come from a C# background, learning Java, and I just so happen to be following that process. I don't remember where I picked it up (something in the Spring docs?), but it seemed like a good idea. Short version: yea, it works pretty well.

Actually, that's what I thought they were going to cite. I think he misunderstands Dillinger, anyway. Dillinger understood his business, and his role within it, just fine. He was a flash in the pan, and it would end badly. Dwelling on it wo

If they're looking for free marketing, then yes. I'm sure he'll find something worthwhile, tho, because of his presence. So overall, it will help him. If he wants a management position, not so much, IMO. What qualities does he bring that wo

JVM apps (at least if they are running in a container) aren't just portable across OS' (which is what I assume you meant), they are just plain portable. In other words, I can tar up a Java appserver, copy it to another machine, untar it, an

I could see him doing it, but I don't see him actually sorting anything out. His last years were not stellar. He did a fantastic job building the company, but I don't think he's the right person to rebuild it.

Well, that's just sad, since Notepad loads the whole file into memory. Have you tried Notepad++ or UltraEdit? Colorization, smart handling of large files, etc.?

As someone who has spent a lot of time in those "lumbering" organizations, I tend to agree. While it isn't unreasonable to expect professionals to learn multiple deployment scenarios, the sad truth is that it can be hard to arrange to have

I disagree. Microsoft has had to make these community-oriented changes because they have been losing the community. It is, and has been, necessary for that bottom line for these changes to come about. They are finally come to realize, at a

Most of the money went to the hard drives themselves. They've come down a lot since (1.5TB had just been announced), but it was around 70% of the cost. Everything else was relatively cheap. The 2.5 drives are good, and seem to becoming typi

That's how I read it. If I were a real superhero, with real teleportation abilities, I'd be teleporting everything into something incredibly lethal, too. The NPCs were available in CoH; in real life, I have deep mineshafts. Heck, I'd probab

FWIW, I've built one of those SuperMicro machines, with eight drives, around the beginning of the year. Allowing for redundancy (RAID 5 on six disks for data, and mirrored the boot drives), we ended up with 6.5TB of storage at about $3500 (

If nothing else, anti-trust concerns could be enough to put a damper on things. Then, there's a host of liability concerns ("Microsoft said it was okay"). That said, I think there is, and has been, plenty of room for improving application m

Heh. It isn't the case here, but you have to "act outgoing"? If you had practice, you don't have to act. Yes, I'm an introvert, too, and I understand exactly what you're talking about. The diff is that how much I'm "drained" depends on the
