This has been my experience as well. And I actually like the rspec style of testing that the author dismisses because it allows you to group tests by functionality covered. This goes a long ways towards making your tests more approachab

Yeah, I'm mainly just using it for a personal backup/synchronization and it works great for that. The team stuff is nice to have available too though. It was trivial to set up a shared folder between myself and my girlfriend.

I generally agree but there is the concern that the higher buildings would take away from the prominence of the historical monuments that the city centers on. A good example of this is the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City. It appeared promi

By the way, if you're looking at ownCloud check out Seafile as well. After hearing about ownCloud's performance issues I decided to try Seafile instead and I've had a very positive experience. I'm running it on a VPS i

That was my immediate thought. Even if they weren't planning on switching to Android in the short term Nokia could have made Microsoft's decision to buy a lot easier by hinting at the possibility.

It might be illegal and would definitely be unethical if the subscribers to the lower tier don't even know that a higher tier exists. They would be buying access on the presumption that everyone else were getting the data at the same

Breaking public-key crypto would have to be the biggest coup in SIGINT in the history of ever . Much bigger than cracking the Enigma. Just thinking about the sheer volume of internet traffic at every level and in every country that relie

Historically speaking, it's hard to find a nation that with broad power outside its own borders that has not used that power to bully others.

I agree that for someone who already has the skills to reason with regexes this has little to offer. But I'm not ready to count the idea out yet -- it's easy to underestimate the length to which people will go to avoid being forc

They also don't compare the read speed (17 MB/s) to existing flash memory. They showcase an amazing write speed, but most applications access data a lot more frequently than they create it.

I was involved with the RepRap community in 2008-2009. The expiring Stratasys patents for FDM (fused-deposition modeling, the squirt-out-hot-plastic approach used by the RepRap, MakerBot and its clones) were definitely a big deal in the co

In my opinion, this is one of the things that is keeping Eclipse from progressing. I still use it when programming Java because of the 3-4 awesome time-saving features it provides that a text editor couldn't handle, but I just can&#x2

Sure, I'm not saying that LEED doesn't work because it's government-run (it's not) nor even going so far as saying that government involvement in the market is necessarily evil. I'm trying to make the distinction b

This is a good example of how the market can outperform centralized governing councils under certain conditions. the LEED-certifying body can't possibly hope to know all the 2nd- and 3rd-degree repercussions of different design decisio

That's a valid interpretation. Another is that since the median income in the US is lower than the mean, coupled with the fact that rich people are disproportionately represented in the public sphere, most people believe that they have

re: 1.) Among other things, a good practice for indicating something is clickable is to set the cursor: pointer css property. Also, it'd be nice if the text were centered vertically. Since your "li"s are all a fixed height y

This is a trend I've noticed on a lot of sites that is unavoidable but still makes life harder for some. Now that everyone has high-resolution displays web elements tend to be built at larger sizes to get the same effective size on th

dgunn, what a lot of people are upset over isn't necessarily that the government is recording a lot of conversations per se. It's the fact that this program is constitutionally and ethically questionable and that it was enacted w

Idiomatic in this context is a synonym of "typical". It's possible to write Java with shorter class names, but they typically tend to be long.

I know a number of Ecuatorians living abroad, and they're very proud of what their government is doing regardless of the short-term economic consequences. I don't know who's right and who's wrong here, but there's

Independent of whether this is a good decision, I thought that the Supreme Court's mandate was to decide whether a law violates the Constitution and little more. Doesn't this sort of judicial activism weaken the separation of pow

This looks like an easy way to get basic user feedback without thinking too hard, but "you're gonna want this" is a bit over-enthusiastic.

Undoubtedly, but Obamacare could still accelerate the process. As state-mandated benefits go up, the marginal utility that an employee has to provide to be company asset go up proportionally.

This is a great little service. I have a "concentrate" playlist in spotify that tries to fill this need with classical music, but I listen to it in the background so much that even with a fairly long playlist I get tired of heari
