I can imagine this using some sort of "somethingnew" list (from e.g. www.reddit.com/r/somethingnew) or maybe you can feed it a list of things you always wanted to do but (typically) never got around to... so you give it some tasks, maybe sp

A lot of people here seemed to have missed the fact that this was indeed one of the points brought up in this interesting read.

And the other question is: how do you sustain and nourish this curiosity and gaining of knowledge in regular project work cycles in typical IT departments under already more-than-pressing deadlines? Often there are very real issues, however

What's missing is all the people and business partners who are already using skype right now and who have not switched to an alternative and probably don't plan to. Users seem to be very accepting of all sorts of nonsense in software if "ev

Strangely enough, I got asked to pick a number between 1 and 10 a few days ago in an Irish pub in Germany. Looks like this was a LOT more popular than expected! For the record, I picked 9 - much to the dismay of the person asking me.

I am afraid being the person with the most karma doesn't make him an epitome of hacker ethics or shining beacon of hope but mostly a guy who knows very well how to work it. They have those "superstars" on reddit as well (just look for andre

Ever since they changed Firefox's behavior when an unknown certificate is encountered this would be especially crippling. I can understand why this might be a good feature to have for end-users and internet novices but why isn't there an op

One thing I am missing or haven't found in some of the debuggers I have used (mostly Java) is the feature to just print out the code execution and return values for a certain part of or the whole code. Those prints or printfs are great to g

I may be a little late to the party but from my understanding: > a paywall where you can only view 20 articles ..they are probably using some sort of cookie to track how many articles you have read? Then you need no lines of code at all

Depending on the country of Europe, you could not register as a "Buddhist"; in Germany it is not an official religion, for example.

There's a reason the programmer stereotype is t-shirts and jeans. These clothes are comfortable, require very little maintenance, are cheap and require very little thought. And they are simply always stylish, fit perfectly and you can har

Germany - more specifically Hessen; not exactly welcoming and open like e.g. Cologne.

Interesting ideas and good suggestions but... I moved to another country, I don't know anyone there, I do go out on my own and I do sit in cafés on my own from time to time - heck absolutely EVERYWHERE I go I am alone since 2 years. I have

It still is a horrible term, as are most buzz words and hypes. And secondly, like it or not, it is nothing new - not even a new concept. See e.g. grid computing and what Foster et al. describe as "utility computing" in their vision; it make

As a used to be huge Bon Jovi fan in my teenage years, I am amazed they are still around and can fill concert halls at prices like that. I know they used to be popular but let's face it, they are not AC/DC or U2 who can get away with ticket

Don't you first fall into the rope and then slam against the mountain side? Oh, and, out of curiosity - how old are you, how long have you been climbing and what were your failures and worst injuries? I'm asking because I am turning 30 and

Great and valuable read! Is that from your blog or did you write a book? Would love to see more! Now here is where that last part is really funny in my situation: most everyone of my peers could easily be my mom or dad, they are all way old
