It depends on how close you are to completion. How much of your codebase can be repurposed to a less populated niche?

I should probably go to the password generators, I have a series of passwords I use now with any important (banking) site having a unique password.

it's just the definition of the word, right? You presumably hire someone with a set of responsibilities - some mix of write this software, design this UI, optimize this server and you're at some degree of freedom on the requirements. Set hi

I'm a big fan of document databases. It was one of those things where I was working on my app, thinking to myself... self, aha! I need documents or arbitrary kvp storage... then thinking, yeah somebody else must have done that already and t

the thing that pisses me off most is... I sign up for some website and a few minutes later I get some email - hey welcome to site X your username is Y and your password is Z... WHAT THE FUCK

by keefe 17y ago
I think you must assume it's not secure on most sites and use a "public" and "important" password.

damn right. Totally stupid idea - perhaps they should revise their expectations to something more realistic?

any chance at all these direct comments were one of those jokes I've been hearing so much about lately? It's hard to believe that a successful person would have such a bias for round numbers rather than state changes - certainly there is a

I'll just throw this out there because it's not in the mainstream, but Mathematica is well worth considering if you are still @ uni and can get it for cheap. The advantage is that mathematica is a very powerful language for doing "mathy" st

Title is a bit misleading - sure 20 min a day may be fine for achieving some milestone, but the bottom line is that our bodies are machines that are not meant to be sedentary!!! at the very least, 1 lb of fat = 3200 calories and we should n

parallelization is not only about scalability, but also performance. If a task takes 20min and can be parallelized 4X, it now takes 5 minutes. There's only a certain portion of each program that is inherently sequential. We're at 2-4 cores

Exactly what type of application are you referring to? Most server software does a lot of work in parallel. Many computationally complex algorithms are parallelizable to one degree or another. Video games usually have a lot of parallelizabl

you've actually got the processing power to do interesting things. I've currently got a 250M record database in my domain of interest - a few years ago, crunching on this database was prohibitively time expensive but now it flies, without e

first, you need to grok the basics http://academicearth.org/courses/machine-learning but data mining can't be learned from a passive standpoint. You need to find a large dataset http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/ and try to do someth

I worked at one of the bigger semweb startups for a few years, been to the major conferences several times... the whole concept of putting structure to data makes a lot of sense. However, an explicit ontology is not necessary to make data u

I have similar habits, which feel like a big time leak. I recommend git because I find the peer to peer model more elegant, but I've yet to use git collaboratively.

"If our newly-independent programmer does not make 10x the money, we must admit that she is not the 10x programmer we thought she was." Not a good metric. The signal is at least polluted by social skills and geography - in some areas of the
