Most Rubyists install Ruby & RubyGems through RVM nowadays anyway so it will make no difference.

Just last week I was sent a job requiring C++ and extensive Ball and Builder experience. It took me a couple of minutes to figure that one out ...

Terrific news - a shame Tony Sale was not here to see it.

I don't see what incorporating in the UK would buy you. Payment processing here is a total clusterfuck.

The hardware was the weakest link. Also, It was my understanding that a lot of the hardware division have been released recently. Maybe Amazon just want some patents, some good engineers and a backup OS for leverage against Google?

Also Batman has Rails style generators that create a familiar directory structure and a built in server. They're both really neat.

I think it's cool that you will be able to use the same language - CoffeeScript - and even the same objects on both client and server side. But the server side stuff is optional. At the moment you can persist to HTML5 localStorage or REST.

Knockout is also probably being included in ASP.NET MVC 4 - it's in the beta - which should help it gain traction especially amongst beleaguered Silverlight developers thanks to it's familiar MVVM / data binding structure.

Font rendering too is pretty aliased in Chrome on Windows - but fine in Chrome on OS X, Linux. It's strange that Google would introduce Google Web Fonts and then not make it a priority to bring rendering on Windows Chrome up to a reasonable

What do /did these 525 people do exactly, if they weren't developers or developer relations? Middle managers?

Is anybody using Mono on Linux for ASP.NET MVC3 apps in production? If so, is it stable, fast? I wonder how it compares speed and stability wise to the Java Play Framework. I am currently using Play (and it's great!) but I much prefer C# as

Has there ever been a really good book on demoscene effects, old and new - and the maths behind them??

At most (smaller!) companies I have worked, middle management seem to have chosen to buy servers from the suppliers that provide the biggest kickbacks - with Dell, PDAs or Laptops usually made a nice little sweetener to maintain loyalty.

I wondered if there is anything different about the second (view source) request that could be detected and a different response provided - but I don't think so after a quick look with WireShark.

Similarly, in Gnome 3: I can't see any way of having a 2D array of virtual desktops any more, the only option I see is the 1D auto-expanding column of desktops. Anyone ?

Khan Academy - not sure how far 'post school' it goes though. Try the exercises, definitely good for a refresher at least.

Have you used a Pre 2? Mine doesn't lag at all. It's a night and day difference compared to the original Pre/+, especially if you install the 'smooth scrolling' patch from Preware.

A shame, I have a Pre 2 and it's the best phone I have ever owned. Sure some things could be better - screen resolution for one, and battery life. But it's fast, as smooth as IOS and stable and the UI is so well thought out. There were prob
