I've recently (~1y) moved back to Windows as a primary 'desktop' OS for development. By day I'm a rails developer. I've worked extensively on windows (back in PHP days), Linux (when I was doing HPC software) and Mac

This confuses me a little -- the UK has the direct debit guarantee which is incredibly ironclad. If I think something is funny, I call the bank and the money is back in my account immediately -- without argument or any reason required. The

Yep -- you can help out, but as soon as you figure out if it's for you, your first "appointment" is ASL. It's essentially what you want from it -- don't consider them "levels" but different roles. They&#x2

I volunteer, but not for anything related to software development. I'm an ASL (Assistant Scout Leader) for a scout troop in London. I enjoyed my time in the scouts as a kid, and i figured if i was only able to enjoy it as others gave u

Warwick and TN still? ;) I worked at Concurrent (now Concertim) with Ben A/Mark T/Gordon C a while back. Good memories.

I got my first dev job after Uni at the sister company to Allinea, so I know and have had a beer or three with most of the people involved. Will admit to having worked near them for nearly 2 years and still not understanding fully what they

I'm astonished this is as high as it is. > did she try to talk to her harassers directly before going to a manager? There are a huge number of reasons why you should not be expected to do this. The harasser can be in a position of a

This looks really cool. My mum (not me, unfortunately for you!) works in Accountancy and the entire industry is spreadsheet-driven. IT bods on HN might not realise this, but the accounting department of nearly every BigCo that isn't a

Oh god. Most of this is hilarious. "A seasoned C developer with 10 years experience can not instantly morph into an advanced front end web application developer" True, but they'll be a damn sight quicker at picking it up than

Performance wasn't my concern at all. Overcomplicating the rails 'core' is my concern. I'd much rather start from a lightweight 'base' which solves most of the common cases and pull in extras as required for wh

Sigh. This is like that timecop thing -- dumping more stuff in core that lives better as part of a gem. Resque, DelayedJob, Sidekiq... All have their drawbacks/benefits. I know this can just work as a 'wrapper', but in an a

It's not the "I, Robot" books, it's the quadrilogy sometimes called the "Robot" series (confusing, I know). "The Caves of Steel", "The Naked Sun", "Robots of Dawn", "Robots an

For me (UK, not US) it increases it. Nobody outside the financial sector uses it here, at all. And 10M is always understood to mean 10 million, never 10 thousand (that's 10k).

Even the article refers to it as "$10M". Please stop adding extra M's :(

Had a quick play around with the demo. Two suggestions: 1. Please, please make tabbing between fields work as I expect (i.e. after I've filled in Book Title, let me tab to the next field down). 2. Please make ctrl-A select all text in

Forgive me for being potentially obvious, but can't you trace every single bitcoin transaction ever? So you can go from: Domain seller -> "Anonymous persons bitcoin address" -> Bitcoin address of the person who sold him

I know you're not agreeing in this statement, but I think part of anyones role as a senior SE is to help raise others to that level, even if it's to the detriment of his own productivity.

I'm sorry, but I don't agree at all. Part of writing good software is the ability to interact with people. That requires certain social abilities and the ability to talk confidently to people about code, the same as pair program

At a guess, the opposite of Quantitative Easing -- deflation and increasing a bitcoins buying power. Oh, but if it happens to a large enough account, a hit to the confidence of people in bitcoins.

I'm not going to speak to your other points, but I agree with your final point. We have a rule of law in our country (the UK), the same as you do in yours. This smells like a lynching. I think generally it's important to believe t
