And even if they did use it for their CV, so what? Who really cares? Does that really hurt wikipedia? Unless the information is clearly (1) false or (2) not in a neutral point of view, then it's perfectly good information about the subj

What does everyone think about the idea of having fairly minimal IT restrictions, but requiring the use of tools like Rescue Time? Would you take that tradeoff?

I haven't experienced this and my library is around 100 GB. Could it be something with your disk? Is the library on a local disk or remote disk? What's the speed (rpm) of the disk?

When you're pulling long days or all nighters, you need to watch your diet. It's easy to eat too much and gain weight. At the same time, if you're really only sleeping 4 hours a night, then you need extra calories to burn for those extra

Once I actually used it, even in its current buggy pre-alpha state, I realized that Wave is actually pretty cool and there are all sorts of ways in which I would prefer to use a tool like wave over a wiki, email or IM. I believe Wave has s

I can confirm that you'll lose a fair bit of momentum in the move. In the long term, it can be great. But in the short term, you'll increase your burn rate and your work can stop all together as you figure out the rules of working in the

I moved to Hong Kong as well, though lately I've been in Guangzhou quite a bit. Hong Kong is actually a great location if you're interested in China. Getting investment visas is not too difficult and living costs are similar to the US. If

A little late for that, but here's hoping. Stability in a number of Ruby projects is a real problem: Rails, rspec, numerous plugins and gems. I wouldn't care so much if everyone used a versioning system that clearly communicated when thing

Personally, I don't see much harm in giving a Wikipedia page to anyone who ever lived. I feel the same way.

You wouldn't hear about it if the Rails Core and Rails Activist team members would address the issue rather than simply defend themselves and insult everyone else.

Makes it clear just how dense Hong Kong is, even compared to other Chinese cities. Do you happen to live in Hong Kong?

I'm trying to point out that the real issue here isn't sexism, but excessive individualism. This goes beyond the simple philosophy of working on what interests you to an actual disdain to working with or for others. Rails core doesn't car

The Economist and The Financial Times are the only two publications I've subscribed to in the last decade. I'm not completely convinced people are uninterested though. Before we met, my wife wouldn't have given the Economist a second glance

Agree on dropping the 'humble' part. Obviously you don't want to work with an egotistical jerk, but you definitely want someone who knows his/her worth and isn't a pushover. Your tech partner should be a partner, that requires mutual respe

It gives them the key vote in the JCP which means they own not only the copyright to the JVM code, but also the rights for the Java specification. There's been some arguments in the JCP about Java 7, with Sun usually the last hold out. So

I'm all for creating a better solution for short urls, rev=canonical is not a good option. The proposal mixes alternative urls with the idea of a canonical url. Besides being damn confusing (remembering the difference between rel and rev),

Different setup for different projects. Latest was all AWS: EC2 servers pushing out most static content to S3. Also use EC2 for test and staging servers as then we only need them up for the actual test or staging period.

As I said on his blog: Java's fate is out of the hands of Sun or IBM. The community around it is much larger than either of those companies and anyone who makes decisions about Java based on IBM-Sun rumors isn't doing their job right. Oddl

There's an open letter [1], an FAQ [2], several documents on an open mailing list [3] and several updates in the ASF board reports [4]. Okay, so perhaps that's not "well documented" but it's also open and available for public review. [1] h
