I've been hoping to see more projects using mongrel2. As ugly and inconsistent as the PHP language is, this project is really cool.

The book seems very readable. I read one of the sample chapters, and if you aren't an agile guy, or are "feeling around", this seems like a useful book. I'll probably get the digital version after reading a few more reviews.

The devil you know is better than the devil you don't. Every un-normalized database I've inherited has been a colossal mess and practically unusable -- especially if there are important relations. A de-normalized database is a thoughtful p

I would think the Nordic countries would have a Winter of Startups. Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed Gothenburg in December.

None? Verizon LTE is supposedly launching in a few months and then you'll want an Android phone that works w/ LTE. Of course, we don't know where you live, so LTE may not be available in your area.

I'll doubly recommend engaging the faculty and staff, regardless of subject. Especially for technical subjects where most of the learning is done outside the classroom. The problem is, your adviser should be encouraging you to do this the

Ironically, the Mashable article is written by a woman, though who knows how much control she had over the list and title.

The moral of these threads: don't argue with Zed. He'll out-point you! Don't hate the coder, love the code.

This is similar to how I usually solve problems: I start writing a group post or email and by the time I've provided enough information and explanation, I've arrived at an answer.

I love news outlets that don't include a single link to any of the company websites they mention. (Yes, guessing clustrix.com was pretty easy.)

It's not so much remembering, it's typing it all out (for me at least). Having RSI, reducing any amount of typing is a godsend. However, my first impression of lightning is similar.

The problem with taxes per person is it doesn't take into account how a country spends its money. If, as a percentage, we spent as little on the military as those other countries our taxes per person would drop significantly.

I was initially very hesitant about a female Starbuck, if only because he was my favorite character in the original. After a few episodes, I became a fan of the character and the acting. The retelling of BSG required a big adjustment for f

With government contractors, gov employees, and union workers, they actively avoid helping anyone out if it is outside their specialty, even if they are severely under tasked. In fact, they will actively try to avoid doing their own jobs.

The app store is not awesome for consumers. Like he says, it is poorly organized (why can't they implement tagging?). Finding something worth spending money on is time consuming and near impossible. Finding something that is free and int

From what I've read, NEVER mix InnoDB and MyISAM tables in the same database. Update: While they don't say never, they don't recommend it. Managing backups gets a lot harder. Also, you should never mix innodb and myisam tables within a tr

I love Ubuntu on the server side, but on the desktop it always feels unfinished and I usually have to hack around to get something to work. I'm at the point in my life where futzing around to fix the basics isn't much fun. OS X is polished

I generally take the definition of "premature optimization" to be "going out of your way to improve performance". If you know a faster (better?) way, use it. Sometimes, people seem to confuse YAGNI and premature optimization with just "kn
