What I 'love' about object-oriented programming is that every other year there is a new pattern or paradigm that is shoved down our throats by opinion leaders and self-proclaimed OO-gurus. These architectural patterns all make sen

I've said this before on here, but online advertising is incredibly dumb. If you consider all the info Google and Facebook have on me, it's a really sad state of affairs. I bought a new bicycle and religiously researched this topi

This isn't about general voluntary work. Never. This is about you helping strangers, or friends of friends. Moving, cooking dinner, helping with a legal problem, helping them with their exams, letting them borrow your rice cooker over

I think you look at it from the wrong perspective, it's not about voluntary work per se, it's about caring about other people. If you dismiss people because of your stereotypes, you'll never get to know them. If you're o

I think this is the best comment here. Be open, generous and helpful. Care about other people and show genuine interest in their lives, don't dismiss them just because they might fulfill some of your stereotypes (hipster / jog &#x

Erik Meijer is actually one of the main guys responsible for the popularization of 'reactive programming' with his Rx extensions for .NET [1]. It's probably a fair assumption that he knows more about this topic than most peop

I've created a couple of projects in Go so far (a map server, similar to TileStache etc.) - Sure, the lack of generics is annoying, but I think the real elephant in the room is dependency and package management. The way Go expects you

Paraphrasing Rich Hickey: It's primarily a user oriented language and there is no underlying abstraction for external programs or systems. In the end programmatic access boils down to using StringBuilders.

Don't social scientists and economists spend a huge amount of time learning statistical software such as SPSS or Stata or Gauss? Why bother with Excel?

No shit, I have days where I look at advertisement, graphic design and marketing and can't help but subscribe to this view of Bill Hicks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDW_Hj2K0wo

This is boggling my mind, it surely can't be about quality. I bet Apple could have bought AKG, Audio Technica or Beyerdynamic for less than 3.2 Billions.

'Better' is a loaded term, from what I gather it has functionality reminiscent of graph dbs and a temporal aspect to it (versioning / auditing).

In my experience it's the total opposite: I've known most of my friends since kindergarten. We all know each others dreams, hopes and fears and support each other without being judgmental. We share a common set of values. I could

Über can be used as a prefix, but also as a preposition. Wikipedia has a good article about Über [1] "über etwas sprechen" -> "to speak about something" "über die Brücke" -> "across the bridge"

A lot of the technical tutorials (that also get posted here) are frankly, absolutely terrible. Tutorials that do not state the required levels of expertise? Tutorials without version numbers of the components that are described in it? Tutor

You are right. Most apps are utterly useless and not worth a single penny. Many people have no problem with paying for software. For instance, Liine can charge $49.99 for their Lemur iPad app because the touch screen really brings something

This doesn't explain the success WhatsApp had in Europe. Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, etc. WhatsApp dominates all of these markets. I think a reason for this is that in Europe, we're not used to unlimited text plans. Unl

Data binding coupled with a declarative syntax isn't a "new thing", especially in the enterprise world, .NET and Java. It's an acquired taste and I never really felt comfortable with it. You can build some perverse archi

I guess you work for OpenERP, is there a reason why you use "tweet to pay" links on your website for these videos? It's absolutely annoying. In this context, what is up with the hyperbole and the dissing of Drupal? Now, about
