I would be very interested to know what a swede has to say about this. My general impression of Sweden (at least sitting here in Germany), is that it is a liberal minded country by european standards - that is that in general the scandanavi

What I love most about this industry is that its still open and accessible for anyone. In my experience (unless you go for an interview at google, or ibm or any big coorp) all you need is to have a great portfolio and just show what you&#x2

Id agree with your overall point that gnome 3 is a great desktop environment. But I also agree with many of the authors points about the plain wierd default settings and non user-friendly way you have to go about getting gnome 3 to be the d

This piece is extremely disturbing, are you kidding me? Has the US Gov't and its justice system degenerated so far as to label pacifist as terrorist and incarcerate them? What disturbs me the most, is that I had heard nothing at all ab

up vote :), theres definately a need for this. The only "good" sql gui out there in my opinion is sequel pro that only runs on mac. Mysql workbench crashes on remote connections on linux and is a sluggish beast, it just gets worse from ther

GNU everyhing, just go to gnu.org, and remember that what we refer to as "linux" is mainly the os kernel, most of the user space programs, libs etc. are GNU projects.

This looks interesting I will definately try it out. But could you explain how this is better / easier than setting up a virtualbox with windows + IE ?

by jfaucett 13y ago
This is interesting. Rails does "work" on windows but the problem is that an extensive amount of gems do not. So for any large/mid-sized project that depends on a lot of other gems like rmagick, postgreSQL, solr, etc, you can basically forg

I think it depends on who your talking about. If your a decently educated person who follows political developments at least minimally, and to boot you're a developer - I really agree with the OP, should anyone be surprised here? Haven't yo

when he says "use JSON where possible XML only where you have to", I thought it was funny, like developers out there are just dying to use this verbose behemoth instead of its terser cousin json. But anyways, I agree with everything you're

This was hilarious - so many of these I could relate too ... I've definately gotten in trouble because of the "snape don't lie to me" one and the woman typing in "nonesense" vs. Jim Carey reminded me how she calls what I do "typing in some

after reading the underscore source I remember wondering if direct array assignment was really significantly better than calling push. here's a quick link to the perf reference made in the article: http://www.scottlogic.co.uk/2010/10/javas

this is huge. I've been saying (as well as probably most other coders), that education should go in this direction. It just seems obvious. I even did a Bachelors paper on this subject (in combination with FOSS) and studied the amount of sav

By "know" would you say for example you can use well function pointers in c and other advanced topics in all the languages you list? for example can you tell me what this does? int add1To2(int (*adder)(int, int)) { return (*adder)(

To put it bluntly from my perspective, testing js is pretty much hell. Don't get me wrong, it does depend on the context though. For example, if I'm building a jQuery plugin or my own pure js libraries then qunit is in my opinion the best s

I love the fact that Mozilla keeps pushing javascript to its limits. They seem to be doing a lot of things really well lately, this is awesome!! Plus you have Firefox OS, which pushes web-standards to native mobile. Now I just wish the devt

personally, i think that when you're programming, not just pondering how to make your code simpler and shorter but also concentrating on patterns that repeat and packing them into a catchall solution can do a lot towards making code more re
