I think part of this issue will be resolved as technology advances - eventually, it will become common practice to release all experimental data publicly, which will reduce the trust requirement. After all, the heart of science is independe

the other thing is, if you surveyed myspace users back in the day, you'd never have predicted the exodus to facebook once it appeared. Nobody leaves until there's a viable alternative, which is what we are all here for!

I'm with you and I find the idea of "move there THEN find a job" rather foolish. Most people can't afford to do this, but most middle+ class workers can afford to fly somewhere and interview. Then if you get the job you just take it, stay i

I spent a few months at Kroger headquarters working on a requirements analysis for replacing their master item database. At that time ('07) the system was this hybrid of IMS, COBOL-APPS and some DB2, with all the item management coming in f

Plenty of startups in silicon valley use java. If you want to talk about text editor coding performance, yeah java is the worst language of all time. However, when you have eclipse which features super efficient source code generation, code

eclipse. Why? Default for java. Some pluses... nice plugin based architecture, stable code. Autocomplete, refactoring, source code generation, etc. are not optional things when you're trying to do too much all the time. It's nice working i

Having a shared vocabulary is critical for communicating and new terms are always being invented as technology progresses. Reading this actually helped clarify my thought process in some areas. A million internets to OP.

A friend of mine got in trouble once so I have had the inestimable pleasure of being interviewed by police. Here's the thing - there's all sorts of technicalities they may or may not use. If you totally stonewall them? If they have any leve

well every time I scrolled, the footer went down so until I got it all loaded I could see like signup/login for a few seconds, then the autoscroll pushes it down... so once all the posts were loaded, I could click your blog links etc

autoscroll - likes aggregates things from reasonable sources - likes simple understandable UI - likes navigation under an infinite scroll field - hates this. I have to load your whole dataset to see what is up with your site. site about dog

One of our primary tasks as engineers is integrating other libraries. I'd suggest picking a task like mysql integration, reading json ( http://undefined.org/python/#simplejson maybe? I'm java not python) or whatever. This teaches a key con

Raw Tesseract is a pain to use. http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/ This is much easier to deal with and uses Tesseract as the default engine - this is a google funded project btw.

I think you'd be better of hosting a blog with some ads, books are just not that profitable according to people I've known that have written them - these were well known semweb subject matter experts.

You're assuming that this business about debug modes and the cars channel hopping so quickly is not a cover story. There's no way for us to know that. My theory was that given a bunch of interesting data and no way to see what they were rea

Either I skimmed that article very poorly or you have some inside information on this... I may be slightly paranoid but I am always skeptical about stuff like this. I could imagine a lot of useful pieces of information that could be gleaned

I've written a SPARQL query parser, which is somewhat similar to SQL. Parsing the string into your internal memory representation is not the hard part of writing a query engine. It's really not difficult to transform SQL into the JSON/SQL s
