I used to have this problem a TON, and it drove me absolutely batty. One thing I've found that's drastically cut down on the frequency (possibly eliminated it? not sure) is this: Always wait ten seconds between display state chang

Of course that's okay with most folks. Reality is messy, and large swaths of it are unamenable to formalization in laws; human discretion will always be required. Now, we can argue about where the balance is best struck, whether it&#x2

It would also be nice to break down remote by allowed timezones, which many job postings specify.

This is perhaps a bit off-topic, but what I really wish more data processing/ETL tools supported is the concept of transactional units. Too many of them seem to start with the worldview that "we need to shove in as many of the sep

Probably don't want the default refresh of 2 seconds. And the title/header is probably redundant, as well. Maybe this, instead? $ watch --interval 0.1 --no-title date ;)

FWIW, if you fight through the "undocumented features," Jenkins actually ends up being one of the best tools out there to manage via Ansible or whatnot. The Groovy/Java API for Jenkins is incredibly powerful, and by adding Gr

Because of the power differential? In the same way that it's different for a short man dealing with harassment from a tall man, or an average man dealing with harassment from a gymbro.

Why on earth would Google care enough right now about MS' phone efforts for that to be something they're actively seeking? I think it's far more likely that any movement towards C# on Android would be motivated by: 1) perhaps

Ding ding! Hard things are hard. It seems... at least a bit arrogant for a developer that doesn't write any of the languages that rely on these features to claim that they're insane and excessive.

I do. I mean... seems pretty hypocritical for a coder who's made most of their income from software NOT to.

Here's half an answer: Kerberos. Which SSH does support, btw.

Also, if you're interested in issues like that, you'd probably really enjoy joining the http://codefordc.org/ community! I've only attended one Meetup, but it was the most ridiculously welcoming and well-run

Wow, uh... I'm not in enterprise software right now, but if I were, I'd be asking you where I could send a check. This is fantastic advice. Thanks for sharing it!

What evidence do you have that productivity is elastic in that way? I'm particularly curious how "far out" the effect you're describing goes: is it still elastic enough to cover an extra 3 weeks of vacation per year?

On Windows, Manic Time does a beautiful job of this active window tracking. I haven't found anything that does it for Linux, though.

There's a set of tradeoffs here. 1) You really, really need feedback from your users as early as possible, to help keep you on-track. 2) Shipping something truly half-baked can kill your chances with most of those users. The trick is i

Is that really where we're at? That an "average Java developer" doesn't understand the classpath or environment? I've certainly worked with a lot of folks who didn't, but I guess I've just always hoped tha

The only positive here is that Yahoo! is better than Ask, and maybe--just maybe--it'll just be a change to the default search provider, rather than the installation of yet another lousy toolbar (YALT).

I use SonarQube myself and have generally found its rules to make sense after a quick Google, at most. Aside from its code formatting rules, which are just silly. They're easy enough to modify or turn off, though, so there's that.

While I intuitively agree with the conclusion there, this analysis definitely doesn't prove it... Of course more time was spent editing files with more lines of code. In fact, if your entire application was all contained in one file, I

I don't know this for sure, but I seem to recall that lawyer's professional rules of conduct require them to not leave clients in the lurch, without providing them ample warning to find new counsel. I believe this is what the GP p

As someone who regularly uses Git (and prefers it), RTC really isn't all that bad. I'd even go so far as to recommend it for some teams/companies.

For me, a combination of these three things has proved to be successful: 1) Every day. I've seen this with working out, side projects, or whatever... I can't stick with commitments if I try for an "every other day" or &q

Yeah, I noticed the interface types, which seem like a much better/safer design choice. (Again, though, it's entirely possible this is just my strong-typing prejudices coming out.)

Perhaps I'm poisoned by my love of strong static types, but... what would you ever use union types like that for? I'm having trouble imagining scenarios where a "list that might have strings or integers" is a good idea.

I can understand why they wouldn't have wanted to create an XSD covering all of the possible keys.
