After trying to install a rails app on Ubuntu , frankly the entirety of ruby and its notion of how a mature language should be packaged is pure amateur hour. Rvm is a mess, the various versions are a mess. For example v1.9.3 appears to be c

Control of a currency has little to do with taxation. Eurozone countries manage to tax income just fine even though they do not have "control" over their currencies.

Why would you say that is industry practice when it is not?

No, but they probably think they do, so there's money to be made there.

Since when was that a defence? You circumvented COMPUTER SECURITY on a GOVERNMENT WEBSITE. This is how the judge will see it.

The sense of scale is noticable even in this article. The author is parking a fire engine on his driveway . Here in Europe a driveway is one or two car lengths of gravel or paving blocks. In the US, everyone's driveway is more like somethi

Or mobile phones (and network of 1000s of towers) for everyone up to and including a goat herder in botswana. When the mass market gets a hold of something, we can move mountains.

Precisely. Google exists because of the nerd minority! Once they lose sight of that they're doomed. Who do they think will be the early adopters of self driving cars?

I moved mostly from Linux and vim to windows + pycharm. Still deploy to Linux. I use cygwin for commandline work. Its gone a lot better than expected. Pip works, django works, local MySQL works, much to my amazement.

If you want a mathematician who can also program, that's fine. But you should be aware that that's what you actually want, and make that clear to potential applicants. The majority of development roles do not need any more mathematical know

I would guess that being a CIO is 80% about management/people skills and 20% about technology. Hopefully that goes some way to explaining why these people did not understand your email.

There's no accounting for what people think is "normal". If I was a moustachian I would probably say something like: "Looking back on that, you realise that was an absolutely insane way of spending money. What expenses do you still have whi

I think the point of a framework like django is that the defaults are best practices. It's good to understand why it does the things it does, but without a certain amount of trust in the framework, you can lose a lot of it's advantages.

I have read that electric cars will be the new "smart grid" connected appliances. Once say 50% of people have an electric car, which is probably usually left plugged in on the driveway, that's a huge amount of battery power available nation

Kind of interesting, but a bizzare amount of bias and hostility towards Microsoft ruins the article.

It's not "technically" running the Linux kernel, it IS running the linux kernel. It's also using most of the standard GNU tools - bash, etc. You can open a shell on a rooted android device and use it much like any other distribution. This i

I'd make more of a feature of the awesome cut away drawings - I always loved them as a kid in Usborne books. Did your friend do the drawings?
