What I learned is you need time, and dedication. Slowly work on one project or OSS contribution... in time they'll grow. There are many devs that work with OSS full-time, creating and allowed to create new tools daily. Then with their free

Once in a while on my mobile device I accidentally click the flag link. I wonder if other people have the same issue and if this affects people's status?

Yeah seriously. The be all end all of languages has yet to arrive. Language and programming is an art, not some maximist metric. The Mona lisa is as flawed as JavaScript and every other language that exist.

I held off until couple days ago on installing 11 with Unity and was very frustrated... I didn't want to believe it, but it was way too dumbed down for me. I was almost insulted... If I want pretty GFX and UI I'll just use my mac. Yes, you

It's a good thing! I just recall our once lengthy discussions. Btw, what do you guys move on to?

But will he/she be as confident to examine all pull requests and discus them to length as you were? ;-)

I've learned that in one year, one's goals can change dramatically.

Congrats guys, I've always liked Play very very much. I honestly didn't know play was part of the typesafe stack and it looks like a lot of my old sbt+Play1+Scala module issues are gone. The first time I used Play it was because I could use

Reminds me of what PG wrote in his 2004 essay: (snippet) ---- FROM: http://www.paulgraham.com/bubble.html "What makes the nerds rich, usually, is stock options. Now there are moves afoot to make it harder for companies to grant options. T

The one paragraph that hits home to me was the last: "That’s where the “Dread Pirate Bezos” line came from. I worked hard and had fun, but every day I honestly worried they might fire me in the morning. Sure, it was a kind of paranoia. But

Should hopefully get easier with a dedicated asic crunching on the extra dimension gathered from future built-in gyroscopes in cameras.

That would indeed be the biggest issue. You are right in that not properly having some type of failover and thus funneling all traffic to a single region or datacenter hurts. I would have thought that a Corp as big as RIM is that they'd be

I don't see anything that says it was a single server (I'm taking your words literally). Any wildly popular (wildly is debatable, nonetheless they have many customers) service can put itself in to this situation if it does not have failover

"This is one of the most pointless projects Google has ever done, it doesn't solve any web developer problems, it's just the 999999th language." I would say this is a bit too early to take on the 'maximist' attitude, no? Like munificent sai

I would urge though that early stage startups be careful to not prematurely scale (with graphics). This info seems more for those that are wee bit further down the lifecycle. Just keep that in mind. If you've already got a few customers and

I had a mainframe guy once tell me they had a red button that would call home for tech support. Another big system he worked on would trigger a halon flood. And on another it was just a off switch.

Well since Notch has TM'd Scrolls he in fact might be in a better position than if he TM'd XYZ Scrolls or Scrolls XYZ. Either way this will be thrown out and Notch will win, but only after spending 6-7 figures on defending it. :-(

I can understand your viewpoint however I don't consider Scala ugly. How about some more explanation if you can.

Well it is very possible these gentlemen socialize in the same circles. Interesting read indeed.

While I agree that MySQL is great and probably is most anyone really needs, it does become harder to shard when your dealing with large scale. I feel you can further extend your agile team with the benefits of NoSQL (speed, ease of use like

Those new to NodeJS will still read this trolled post and find real gems of info here. So all is not lost.

It is up to you to figure things out based on possible worst case runtime scenario coupled with your expected usage on _your_ hardware. You choose what work is defined 'trivial' (based on your resources). Trivial is always moving, and depen

If your using node and doing work other than serving simple pages, then your probably sending that work off. Most production serious Node-ers know not to do heavy lifting within the system. I really don't know where anyone from the Node com

At this point what does a another 5% do to harm you? 10% of nothing is still nothing, but 10% of something worth while is well... you get the idea.

It makes somewhat some sense that MS will do this especially since Hyper-V (VM Hypervisor) is now built-in to Windows8. "Want Linux? You need Windows too..." Other options?: - DIY with OEM materials - Apple :-P

Until I left, my previous company's policy were shoes (not sneakers, or black sneakers), collard shirt (right now your thinking polo!.. but read on), tie (yeah, so that nixes the polo), slacks. On Fridays, you get to take off the tie. Come

Clearly this will be disheartening to the true user such as myself. By splitting functionality as to prevent easy access to either material nor allowing usage of existing ratings they're continuing the trend toward customer alienation. I sa
